FOREIGN VESSEL AT CINCINNATI.
Clara Ramos Stopped There and Town
Felt Like Real Seaport.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

From The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
For the first time in the history Of the city
a steamer flying the flag Of a foreign country
tied to the bank in the port of Cincinnati
last Saturday. She was bound for the Gulf
of Mexico and thence across its waters to the
inland waterways of the Republic Of Mexico.
Built at Pittsburg. unique in appearance. n
three decker, graceful in outline and flying
light, the Clara Ramos dipped her flag in
salute TO the flag Of the United States flying
from the array Of steamer at the wharf and
was saluted In turn.
IL was an interesting incident in the history
OF the port OF Cincinnati and is a suggestor
OF great possibilities, While the Clara Ramos
gave the Cincinnatians the first sight of a
foreign flag in port. Cincinnati in the olden
time built ships which have sailed down the
Ohio and the Mississippi and crossed the
ocean TO Liverpool and to other ports. They
engaged and continued In the ocean carrying
trade long before the days OF steam In ocean
ma vigation and when Jack Tar was not only a
picturesque but n necessary attachment to
trade and between the United
States and foreign countries, In cist's His
tory Of Cincinnati" the following interesting
statement is given from the Liverpool Times
OF January 80, is45:
W have received n file of Cincinnati
papers brought by the first vessel that ever
cleared at that port for Europe, The build
ing of a vessel Of $50 tons-the Muskingum-
on a river seventeen hundred miles from the
sea Is. in itself, a very remarkable circum-
stance, both as q proof OF the ma gnincence
of the American rivers and the spirit Of the
American people. The navigating Of such a
vessel down the Ohio and the Mississippi and
then across the Atlantic would a few years
ago have been thought impossible. She
brings q cargo Of provisions, and we trust
that the success Of this first venture will be
such as TO encourage Its frequent repetition. q"

ampulle with the still warm blood OF the
martyr and carried them TO her house at
Attigliano on the old way to Naples and
there kept them.
The same ampulle, encased in a circular
reliquary OF ancient but indifferent work
manship framed between two pieces OF
glass, are now in the Cathedral Of Naples.
They are Of unequal size and shape. but
both have the characteristics OF similar
glass vessels traditionally used by the
early Christians TO preserve the blood OF
martyrs.
The larger vessel is pear shaped n
contains a lark reddish, almost solid, sub
stance, which is supposed to be st. Janu-
arius's blood. The small one is almost
empty, but some traces Of a similar sub
stance may be seen on its sides. 1t Is said
that its contents were carried to Spain by
Charles III. Of Bourbon.
The historical identity Of these two am
pulla has never beer determined, n no
confederation Of the continuity Of the phe-
nomenon of ebullition could he found even
during the Middle Ages. Some mention
Of the miracle is met with in the Roman
MartyroIogy'. and in the Lessons OF the
Breviary," but these have been ascertained
to be apocryphal. The only evidence of the
event begins many centuries after the
death OF the saint.
II is said, but not proved, that the first
time the ebu!lition OF the blood was OBJ
served was some time in the tenth century.
The phenomenon has been attested. among
others, by Pico della Mirandola, Giovanni
Battista vico and the geologist Antonio
Stoppani, also by many sovereigns and
princes who witnessed ii and left valuable
signs Of their devotion in the chapel OF the
saint. At the time OF the Reformation
doubts were first entertained about the
Renuineness OF the miracle, and subse-
ouently it's supernatural character was
altogether denied.
Three times a year, on the first Sunday
in May. on September 10 AID on December
10, the blood Of Saint Januarius, which Is
ordinarily in a state OF coagulation. bubbles
up IN ebullition. In May this phenomenon
is repeated for seven consecutive days. In
September. the anniversary Of the saints
martyrdom. the blood only boils on the
Ieth and again on the octave OF the feast,
In December II boils once. on the 10th,
the feast Of the saints name day.
Each time the miracle 10 celebrated with
great pomp. The reliquary containing the
two ampulle. together with a silver bust
said to contain the skull Of the saint, are
first carried In PROGRESSION through the prin-
oipal' streets Of Naples and then placed on
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1907-06-02

subsequently it was reported TO be alto
gether false.
The contents Of the two glass ampulle
nave never been chemically analysed. h
vessels are securely closed and sealed and
ave never been examined except through
the two pieces Of glass within which they
are encased. The proposal OF the Boil
landists TO remove some OF the substance
contained in them for the purpose OF a
chemical analysis has been rejected with
indignation, Consequently nothing ap-
preaching a scientific examination OF the
relics and the phenomenon they cause has
ever been attempted.
1t has been the custom TO register the
variations in volume and weight between
the blood in its coagulated and its liquid
state, and ii is asserted that these vary
independently OF any change in tempera-
ture. But such observations do not appear
to have beer made on any scientific basis
and they are therefore Of little or no
real value.
In 1902 the blood was subjected to a spec
troscopic analysis and the result obtained.
although not published. seems TO have been
satisfactory. The substance contained in
the glass vases gave the characteristic
spectrum Of blood, but this proof oannot
be regarded as complete and definite.
The ebullition OF st, Januarius's blood re-
mains unexplained, an atmosphere Of legend
and tradition hangs about the relics and in
all likelihood no positive documentary
evidence will ever be found TO authenticate
them, yet they rave been venerated for
centuries and there is now no probability
Of their over being withdrawn from public
worship.
