Bombs.

From The Lancet
When left alone to its natural functions
nitrogen pursues a perfectly peaceful
course but when man succeeds in captur-
ing it and combining it with other elements
it becomes dire potentiality for evil, as is
obvious In the recent events of the war in
the far east and in the crime in the streets
of Moscow. The love of freedom, SO TO
speak characteristic of nitrogen, is terri
bly, exemplifed in the explosion OF the
bomb in which it is imprisoned and bound
to other elements. On the slightest provo
cation-a spark, a shock, a fuse-the nitro
gen suddenly expands from seemingly moth
ing as regards the space which 1t occupies,
into infinity. This is, in reality, what hap
pens when dynamite, lyddlte or other IN
stable nitro-c compounds explode when hurl-
ed in shells in warfare and in bombs in
desperate attacks on human life. Nitrogen,
against it's natural disposition, is locked up
in an uncongenial space in these COM
pounds from which it is set free by very
simple means in an enormously expanded
gaseous state with deadly effect, returning,
in fact, to its normal peaceful mission once
more. 1t is the analogue of the sword and
the ploughshare; in the nitro-explosive III
trogen Is the modern engine of warfare
and crime; in the free state in the Amos
phere il ministers directly to the quiet and
peaceful needs of plant and human life.

The Power Of Resolution.

From Success.
Poverty and failure self-invited. The
disaster people dread often comes to them.
Worry and anxiety enfeeble their force of
mind and so blunt their creative and pro-
ductiye faculties that they are unable to
exercise them properly. Fear of failure or
lack of faith in ones ability is one of the
most potent causes of failure. Many peo-
pie of splendid powers have attained only
mediocre success and some are total failures
because they set bounds to their achieve
ment beyond which they did not allow
themselves to think that they could pass.
They put limitations to their ability; they
cast stumbling blocks in their way by aim
ing only at mediocrity or predicting failure
for themselves, talking their wares down
instead of up, disparagng their business
and belittling their powers.
Thoughts are forces, and the constant
affirmation of ones inherent right and
power to succeed will change inhospitable
conditions and unkind environments to
favorable ones If you resolve upon success
with energy, you will very soon create a
success atmosphere and things will come
your way: you will make yourself sue
cess magnet.

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.
Now Being Taught to Philadelphia
School Children.

From the New York Tribune
Inspired by Gov. Pennypacker. the some
what eccentric executive head of the Key
stone state, the school teachers Of Philadel-
phia are organizing kindness to animal
classes, and are teaching the boys and girls
under their care to regard cats, dogs and
horses as creatures to be ministered to by
superior beings of the two-legged variety
This teaching is diametrically opposed to
the ideas of the boy half of the school
world which has always regarded a stray
dog or g. suffering cat as legitimate game
and heaven-sent target for any handy mis-
SHE. BY degrees however, this deep}y
rooted idea is being eliminated from the
minds of the school boys of Philadelphia
and in its place is being planted a Good
Samaritan feeling toward domestic pets of
all kinds.

possession of the active mind of youth, If

The Lateran Holy Table.
From the Tablet.


Like SO many other relics doubt has
sometimes been cast on the authenticity of
the holy table at st. John Laterans. But
it would seem as If the doubt rested on no
stronger foundation than the mere absence
of detailed historical proofs. 1t is probable,
though not certain, that the holy table was
brought to Rome by the Empress Helena,
together with the holy cross and other me-
mentos of the passion, and 1t Is quite GER
tain that in the tenth century the table had
already been long preserved in ST. Johns.
1t used to be kept at tho high altar. whence
1t transferred In the tenth century to
the chapel Of ST. Thomas, and from there
In the eighteenth century to the loggia in
the apse. until 1t was finally moved by
Plus TX to it's present shrine over the altar
of the blessed sacrament. The table Cor

served is of cedar; 1t measures about five
