Telling of Interesting Finds
on Ancient Site.

President c, c. Tracy, of Ana

has written to the American
board of missions an interesting
description of the excavations re-
Gently made by Prof. Hogarth, of
Oxford, in the vicinity of Ephesus.
He says:

of the marsh and laid bare four
temples of Diana each success

lions of its predecessor, the oldest

temple of st. Pauls day. The lat

than the others, but not so beauti-
full as the one below it, enriched
by Croesus, a list of whose gifts
to the temple the professor seems
to have found.

gold, electrum and terra Gotta.

HUNTING THE SEA OTTER.
How Alouts Procure One Of the Most
Valuable Fur Skins-Method
Good One.

No landsman's still hunt affords
the thrilling excitement the otter
hunters spearing surrounds, says
Outing. Fifteen or twenty-five
little skin skiTs, with two or three
men in each, paddle out under a
chief elected by common consent.
Whether fog or clear, the spear
ing is done only in clear weather.
The long line of bidarkas circles
silently over the silver sea. Not
a word is spoken. Not a paddle
blade allowed to click against the
bone gun'els of the skitT. Double
bladed paddles are frequently
used, so shift of paddle is made
from side to side of the canoe with
out a change of hands. The skin
bidarkas take to the water as
noiselessly as the glide of a duck,
YOnder, where the powders lie
mile on mile awash in the surf,
kelp rafts-forests of seaweed-
lift and fall with the rhythmic
wash of the tide.
Hither the otter hunters steer,
silent as shadows. The circle wild,
ems, deploys, forms a Gordon round
the outermOst rim of the kelp
fields. Suddenly a black object is
seen floating on the silver sur-
face of the water-a sea otter
asleep. Quick as a flash the steers
man lifts his paddle. Not a word
is spoken, but so keen is the hear.
ing of the sleeping otter the drip
of the lifted paddle has not
splashed into the sea before the
otter has awakened, looked,
diyed like lightning to the bottom
before one of the alert huntsmen
can hurl his spear.
Silently, not a whisper, the
steersman signals again. The
hunters deploy in a circle half Il
mile broad around the place where
the sea otter disappeared, for
they know that in 10 or 20 minutes
the animal must come up for
breath, and it cannot run farther
than half a mile under the sea be.
fore it reappears.
Suddenly somebody sees q
round black red head poke above
water, perhaps close to the line Of
watchers. With a wild shout the
nearest bidarkas dart forward.
Whether the spear throw has hit
or missed, the shout has done
enough. The terrified otter dives
before it has breath. Over the
second diving spot a hunter is
stationed, and the circle narrows,
for the otter must come up quick.
er this time.
1t must have breath. Again and
again the little, round, rufous
head peeps up, again the shout
greets it! Again the lightning
dive! Sometimes only a bubble
gurgling to the top of the water
guides the watchers. Presently
the body is so full of gases from
suppressed breathing it can no
longer sink, and a quick spear
throw secures the quarry.

FATHER RYAN DELIVERS ARRANGEMENT
Parent who Admits One of These

Rev. Father Ryan devoted part Of his
sermon at the o'clock mass at St.
Johns Collegiate church Sunday morning
TO denouncing yellow journalism. He pro-
nounced yellow newspapers. as the term
is commonly understood. as "unqualihedly
bad" He declared they should never be
taken into the home and that parents who
permitted their children to read them,
most particularly the Sunday issues, were
guilty of fault little short Of a crime.
"A person does not need to go to the
yellow journals for any Information that
is worth having" said Father Ryan.
There are plenty OF other newspapers Of
restraint and decency that contain all the
real news and opinion Of the day. The
ideas of murder arson and adultery so
constantly and vigorously exploited by the
yellow press cannot fail TO have a bad ef-
feet on the readers. L am at loss to
understand why people subscribe to them

what Is the Holy Catholic Church." was
the subject of Rev. A. s. c. Clarke's SER
mon Sunday night at Lowe Avenue Presby-
terian church.
You have just repeated In the creed"
said Mr.. Clarke, that you believe In the
holy Catholic church. Now. what IS the
holy Catholic church? From questions l
have had asked Of me and from other
observations, l have reason to know that
some people think the Roman Catholic
church is meant. The word Catholic is of
Greek origin, brought over into the Eng
lish. 1t means whole, entire, universal
When we say Catholic church, we mean
the universal church. Roman Catholic is
a misnomer, because when you say Roman
you localize, and you cannot have local
universal church.
"Paul's reference to the church of Christ
as a body is a favorite one and q good one.
The various denominations are the MEM
bers of the body, of which Christ is the
head. People say: TO what body OF
Christians do you belong? The question
is itself confusing. OF course there can
be but one body of Christ on earth, and
one can belong to but one body of Christ.
But people may say, TO what part of the
body do you belong% Unfortunately or
fortunately there are many denominations
worshiping the same God and protesting
faith in the same Savior. Sometimes they
arrogate to themselves the name of the
church. None OF them incorporate all the
members of Christ's mystical body. His
body, His real church, is composed Of all
of them; is found in all places where men
call upon the name of the Lord out of a
pure heart. This is the Catholic, the uni
versal church.
at has been the dream of the saints Of
God for centuries that there will be a union
Of all denominations, and all will be
worshiping God and worshiping Him in
the same manner. We are crying for
church unity. Yet denominations continue
to stand up for the principles of truth
they represent rather than have church
unity. But in great diversity there is yet
great unity, just as science teaches that
all the multiform lives sprang from one
form of life 1t is the Spirit that unites
the members to the body. All Christians
recognize themselves as members of the
universal body"
