Record Of Financial institutions FOR

A strange circumstance which has
been overlooked by his biographers
may have materially aided st. Patrick
in planting Christianity in Ireland by
gaining for him the cooperation, or
at least the federation and protection
of some Of the leading personages of
the country. He was apparently
member of society which included
some influential friends at court. 1t

The boy learned the language of the

king, who dwelt at Tara; graded
social system, strict code of laws,

morality were especially severe. The
chief religion was druidism. whose
white-robed ministers professed to
weave spells and to read the future.
Among those people the young Gal

POINTS OF THE PILES BURNED.
Remarkable Case of Spontaneous Is.
milton Recently Noted.

milton Recently Noted.
A remarkable case of spontaneous
ignition that recently occurred in
erecting the walls of the new Rotter-
dam quay is related by the Technische
Dundschau.
Rams had been in use there for
some time, which by 1870 or 200
strokes per minute caused a steady
advance of the piles. The foundation
was such that the pillars had to be
driven through the quicksand down to
the solid ground.
On Withdrawing some piles, the
points of the latter were found, owing
to the enormous friction, to have
been charred entirely and heated to
such a point as to begin burning
spontaneously on coming in contact
with the air; nor could iron shoes
prevent this spontaneous ignition.
When leaving the piles in the
ground this ignition would not result
in any damage, the charming remain
ing confined TO the surface, and the
heat being rapidly carried away in the
moist surroundings.
