ERRrNa FELLOW CHRISTIANS.

Archbishop Keane of Dubuque wrote recently in the Catholic World, an article bearing on the diff ficulty of making Catholics in Europe accept or even understand the views held by Catholics here concerning their relation to non-Catholics. Wrote the archbishop: They European Catholics) have for centuries and with very good reason, been used to re- garding Protestants as assailants of the church, to be met, as it were, at the point of the bayonet. When the American assures them that, with the exception of a small minority of fan atics, such is not at all the attitude of our non-Catholfcs; that they are Pro- testants simply bf l2rce of heredity and mostly in perfectly good faith; that we regard then as fellow Christians who, through the fault of their ancestors, have lost part of the Christian teaching and are in false position as to the church and the channels of grace: and That we, in the spirit of fraternal charity, are striving to lead them up to the full ness of truth and grace; again he ~1ll seem to them more than ever 2 dreamer, and more probably than ever tainted in his orthodoxy" y"-Catholic Transcript

shipload, only to be dropped into the ocean.
 Such in mere outline and sugges- ton is the story of the wanton ex- travagance and reckiessness which marked the history of the first Pana- ma company, and this was the prelude to the wholesale bribery and corrup- ton which in the early 9O's shook the republic of France to it's very founda- tion. But in spite of failures and dis aster, the work of digging this canal. which some day will shorten the voy- age from New York to San Francisco (for example) by more than 5000 miles, was proceeded with. As re- gently as 1900 it was estimated that it would take 2O,0O0,oO0 pounds still to complete the work (only 100000 pounds less than De Lesseps' estimate of nearly twenty years earlier); and now that the United States has under taken to finish the canal they will con- slider themselves fortunate if the es- innate of six years ago is not far ex- ceeded. From beginning to end this great undertaking will have cost lit- tie less than 10,000,O 900 pounds, of which considerably more than half will have been wasted, Tit Bits.

ArroMArIo cuAIN NAMING.

Consul Albert Halstead reports that an automatic ehain-maklng machine has been perfected by one of the di- reetors of an English concern that has factories in Bradford and Birming- ham. He thus describes 1t:
 The idea is said to have originated in Canada and for smaller sizes, as reaping and binding machines, was something of a success. It appears that for heavier chains and larger sizes the machine had to be recon strueted and remodelled, This is what has been done here: It draws in 8 steel bar at one end and the bar issues at the other end in the form of a steel link chain completely as sembled. In the process of manufac- turing the chain by this machine none of the metal is lost, the weight of the chain upon completion being exactly that of the metal before manufacture. The machine is so contrived that the metal bar is pierced and the parts thus formed composed a flat link Each perfected link comprises a joint consisting of a raised projection or lip at one end having a convex outer surface of about a quarter of a cir cle, while at the other end the center portion is carried over to form about four-ffths of the circle, hitchihg over the lip end of the next link, an open space permitting detachment side- wise.
 T have a sample of chain the length of each link of which is three inches and the width two and one half inches on the outside and one and five-sixteenths inches on the inside that is said to have breaking strain of S,400 pounds, corresponding to a malleable link with breaking strain of 1,600 pounds, and also a sample link one and three-fourths inches by one and dve-sixteenths of an inch on the inside that is said to have a breaking strain of HOO pounds, cor responding to malleable link with a breaking strain of 540 pounds"

 The signers of the petition claim that many of the Italians cannot read or speak English and. that if they had sub-station presided over by one of their own nationality who would ex- plain the intricate problems of the postal service, that it would prove a very great convenience to at least g. 50a people in the vicinity where the sub-station is proposed to be located. It is claimed that this arrangement would also save a large amount of work for the clerical force at the post office in answering the inquiries of this contingent
 The packers of the movement claim that they will get a list of at least 1000 names to their petition before it Is presented and that the big paper will be at least 25 feet in length.

Then he folded hands reverently and dropped the II ter into the scarlet mouth, bowl low into the dust as he did so. next placed two coppers on q ground and began to retreat bad ward, salaaming frequently Final he put on his shoes once more, al walked away with an air of consciCl trectitude. In another case saw two men z proach the letter box. One dropIH letter in and then put his lips mi terious close up to the mouth.
