suNkEN CITIES OF THE WORLD
Venice Said to Be Gradually Disap.
pearing Beneath the Adriatic.

It is believed by many that Venice
is sinking into tho Adriatlc. and that
she gradually will disappear beneath
the waters of tile great lagoon from
which her palace crowned islands
arise. Other cities have gone that
way before her, and ships now sail
over spots which We're once teeming
with a populous life.
At the entrance Of the harbor OF
Kingston, Jamaica, the original city
Of Port Royal, lies fathoms deep be-
Meath the blue sunlit waters OF the
Caribbean Sea. A narrow strip Of
land, on which are q small settle-
mcnt and q fort is all that is left
Of what was once the richest and
.wickedest town in the West Indies.
It was tho resort Of pirates, who
rested there from their depredations
and made the city hideous with their
revelry. But these pirates brought
great stores Of their loot to the city,
and it's commerce grew and hourished.
Throughout the greater part Of the
seventeenth century no town in the
western world was SO magnificent as
TO it's buildings or so luxurious as to
it's habits as Port Royal. Then one
day in 1892 tho anger OF the Lord
shook the Island Vt Jamaica, and the
greater part Of Port Royal sank be-
meath the sea, carrying with it hum
dreds of its inhabitants. Towers,
churches, palaces, and forts went

CHAPEL OF PREPARATION.
Expiation to the Sacred Heart for
Some Of Vilatte's Perfidy.


Not the least vicious Of the arch i'm
postor Vilatte's many acts of malice
was the harm wrought by him OH st.
Joseph's Island, among the poor half
breeds and ignorant people of the
island, where for four years he made
his home in a small hamlet called
Canvas Bay. He started church and
said mass regularly, parading through
the wildwoods and even visiting the
neighborins islets robed in greatest
state. A we'll known Irish Catholic
singer whose name is known through
tied the beautiful island and being
struck with its beauty, purchased land
and there annually makes her summer
home. One day, a very old Indian, who
had secn the singer and her husband
in the company Of Jesuit Indian mis-
sionary, called on them and asked
them if it was proper to attend Vilatte's
services. The lady made inquiries and
learned that Vilatte had done much
mischief among the poor people, and,
making Novena to the Sacred Heart,
she promised to collect for and build
Il chapel in expiation, IL Vilatte could
be made to leave tho island. Her
project received the sanction and
blessing of Bishop o'Connor Of Peter
borough, Ont, in whose diocese the
island then was. a beautiful site was
secured at IIilt1.l. 3i,' ST.. Joseph's S
Island. and many subscriptions from
the sympathizing faithful were re-
ceived. One year later. vilatte packed
up bag and baggage and left for fresh
scenes of mischief. Meanwhile the dio-
cese of Peterborough was divided and
st. Josepll's Island is now in the juris-
diction Of Bishop Scollard Of sault Ste.
Marie, who has warmly endorsed the
project of the chapel OF Reparation.
The island is about 10 miles long, has
a population Of about 1900, among
whom there are about 60 Catholic fam
lilies, mostly French Canadians and
half-breeds, all very poor. but now full
Of good will. The foundations of the
church have been prepared, and work
ON the building will be started in June,
and it is hoped TO have it in readiness
for the visit of the bishop in August.
The money collected has all been
from friends outside. Among the many
contributors are Archbishop Messner
of Milwaukee, Bishop Fox of Green Bay
Bishop O'Connor OF Sault Ste. Marie,
and Bishop ScolIurd of Sault Ste.
Marie. Donations of money or altar
furniture will be thankfully received,
and may be sent TO Rev. J. A. Desiar-
dims, S. j., Thessalon, Ont, mention
ing that the offering is for the chapel

down, many or them not tumbling In
ruins by the shock. but sinking bod
lily beneath the waves
On a bright clay, sailing over the
spot whore Port Royal once stood,
one can look far down through the
clear water and sec the remains OF
the city still standing there on the
ocean bottom, with fishes swimming
about among its towers and great
tropical seaweeds waving from its
sunken walls.
Another sunken city Of renown Is
Baiae, that splendid resort OH the 1tal-
ian coast wherc Nero and Caligula
"reveled and drank Deep A strag-
Cling village and heaps Of marble ruins
still stand upon the shore and bear
the name ,of Baias, but the greater part
Of the city lies beneath tina waters Of
the Mediterranean, and tourists from
Naples go out here to gaze down into
the waters and try to catoh a glimpse
OF l10 submerged city.
The resort Of all tho wealthy mobiles
Of Rome when Roma was mistress Of
the world. Baiae was a. marvel Of
luxurious splendor. Palace after PAL
ace was built on the shore, and archi-
tects designed magnificent structures
extending out into the sea.
When Rome decayed and the Goths
ravaged Italy. Baiae was sacked by
the invaders. Soon after tho city be-
gan TO sink. First the buildings
which had their foundation in the
water subsided beneath the waves,
and then the sea made an attack on
the land. Gradually the shore line
recedcd, and tho Mediterranean flowed
through the streets where Hadrian had
driven his imperial chariot and Hor-
ace had walked thinking of his next
poem.
These promontories, crowned with
grand towers and gorgeous palaces,
were undermined, and toppled into tho
deep until at last the major part OF
the splendid city was submerged. Its
disappearance was not SO sudden, like
that OF Port Royal, and due to some
convulsion OF nature, but Baiae wen.

land has brought it about that many
towns once populous are now covered
by the sea. The old Roman camp at
Brittenburg, after sinking beneath the
waves, emerged again in 1920, only to
disappear, and its remains now lie
in deep water opposite the town Of Kat
wiik. The original Katwijk itself now
is; beneath the waters, as also are the
original towns of Sclleveningen, DOM
burg, and Egmond. In fact, a success
sion Of towns bearing these names is
now at the bottom of the sea, for they
repeatedly have been rebuilt farther
inland as the land sunk and the waves
come in to take possession.
The Goodwin sands, large and dam
gerous shoals of the southeast coast
of England, were once above the wa
ter and formed a. f1ourishing estate
| the property of Earl Goodwin. There
was no city OH the Goodwin estate
when it subsidized beneath the sea. but
several small villages went down to
the deep when the tract of country
gradually disappeared beneath the wa
ters.

READY TO SILENCE DRUM.
Salvation Army VIII stop Using Il
il Merchants Insist

Capt. Quirk. in charge Of the local Sal
walton Army branch, said last night that
he had not as yet been made acquainted
with the fact that complaints had been
made TO the District Commissioners
against the beating Of drums and the
noises Of other musical instruments used
by the Salvation Army in their religious
services"
The militant preacher said he did not
know that the beating of drums injured
the business Of merchants. as was stated
in the complaint He declared he was
willing at any time 10 stop the production
OF all when there IS sickness in the neigh

that no more injury could come to mer-
chants from the beating Of drums than
by the ringing Of bells.
Last nights services on the street and
IN the barracks were conducted without
the assistance Of the big drum, and Capt
Quirk explained this by the fact that a
