New American Cathedral strsngs,
Than Most Medieval ChurcAss.

New American Cathedral strsnwss
Than Most Msdiasval Churches.
The report that st Marks, In Venice.
one or the most famous cathedrals In
the world, is in danger OF collapse will
recall to many minds the accidents
that have ut different times damaged
Othermediaeval churches. Ruin, whether
partial or complete, is particularly mo-
ticeable among the English cathedraIs,
whose structural weakness, arising
probably from lack OF scientific knowl-
edge or from poor workmanship. has
caused the fall OF great towers or the
disiocation OF walls and arches. Pc
terborough, Chichester, Ely and York
cathedrals are well known examples
OF this decay. Those who have inves-
tigated the subject say that the mediae-
val architects made no exact calcula-
tons to secure solidIty. They permit
ted construction that was often fiimsy
and they failed properly to provide
against the natural tendency OF gothic
arches to spread at the shoulders"
1t might be said, in view OF the pre-
dicted short life OF our skyscrapers,
that Americans are In no position to
criticise the old architecture on account
OF its imperfections, but there Is an
other side to the picture, for it happens
that there is today going UP In New
York city an edlhce designed not only
to charm the eye OF the artist, but also
defy the ravages of time.
The Cathedral of st. John the Divine.
which at present Is only beginning to
rise above the ground, has a founda-
ton approved by biologists, tested by
the diamond drill and mado as solid
almost as the world itself by the most
careful preparation of lodges and by
the use OF prodigious quantities of con-
crete Upon this base already stands
an immense arch, with two piers en-
tirely finished, besides eight pillars of
granite, each composed OF two stones.
the largest ever quarried In this coun-
try. Two other piers are partly CON-
pleted.
SO far as the work has gone 1t may
be said to be indestructIble. At any
rate, unlike the beautiful but fragile
work OF the old time builders, the lofty
tower one day to be erected will never
rau because OK any fundamental weak
ness.

Secretary Donaparte,. sIru.,ure.

The signature OF Charles j. Bona
parte. the new secretary of the navy, is
the subject OF much speculation in the
different bureaus OF the department.
Nothing like IL has been seen for ct
least four generations OF secretaries,
and the speculation is as to how long
1t Will last In its present entirety. 1t Is
large, distinct. carefully rounded, and
every letter is made with care. 1t Is
distinctly handsome. and Secretary Bo-
naparte writes it with much care,
spelling the Charles" out and fiuishing
with a little flourish and carefully
added period Secretary Longs sigma
ture used to hook like q rapid dash
downhill, Secretary Noody's was an
incoherent assembiage OF vertical and
inclined lines and Secretary Morton's
bold. running hand showed a tendency
to stretch out into a straight line be-
fore he finished his incumbency.
Secretary Bonaparte has calmly ig-
nored suggestions that &C. j." would
be just as binding and would be less la-
borious and devotes the time while the
signature is being formed to learning
the why and wherefore OF the paper
before him, SO that the time Is by no
means lost and the temptation to per-
functory signing Is much lessened.-

Norway and Sweden VIII make Il new
line or political cleavage among the
American citizens OF the northwest
The sons and grandsons Of the Scan

Changed and Purined.

But, after all. believe the greatest
''Call OF the Good" comes from the tes-
timony of men and women who were
once, as wild beasts or passion, roam
ing over the mountains OF sin. carrying
death and terror everywhere, but who.
by the grace OF God, have been CON-
pletely changed. Their voice was once
the voice OF hate; now il is the voice of
love- Their eyes were once bloodshot
and their hands sharp clawed and their
teeth as cruel as the crooked beak of a
hawk. ready to make its fatal plunge
into the heart OF dove or lamb or fawn.
Now their eyes are eyes OF gentle
ness; their feet are like the great paws
OF the noble st. Bernard dogs of ST.
Gothard pass which the monks send
forth and which climb over the Alps to
hunt for the lost aud the dying travel
ers. These men and women. once cor
rupt, are now purified. Once wild
beasts OF passion. now gentle as lambs,
they follow at the feet of the Good
Shepherd. and they come to us and say.
IF the grace OF God could change US
and save US the grace OF God can spir-
ituaiiy change you " you Will let IT,"
Not from the Jungle OF sin to the jun
gle of sin did they go, bot from the far
country OF sin they came back as re-
deemed sons and daughters 10 their
