CATHEDRAL NOTES.

Rev. w. K. Ryan went to Garfield
last Sunday, where services were held
for the first time
The funeral of James w. Walsh, who
died as the result of injuries received
in mine explosion at Phoebe, New, last
Friday, was held Wednesday morning
at St Mary's cathedral, under the di-
rection of the Knights of Columbus. In
terment was in Calvary cemetery. The
pall-bearers were c. A. Locke, Ray
Canning, Thomas L. Monahan, Thomas
Cassidy, James O'Connor and William
Hackett. The casket was completely
hidden beneath a mass Of flowers. At
the services in the church several hun
dred of the young mans friends were
present to pay their last respects to the
man who had been stricken down in the
flush Of youth. Father Ryan. the cele-
hrant Of the requiem mass. paid an elo-
quent tribute to the memory of the de-
ceased, who was a graduate of All Hal
lows college.
The new marble baptismal font for
the cathedral was unloaded this week.
When placed in the baptistary it will be
an ornamental piece of work The Law
atory, which is surmounted by a brass
cover, stands on nine white marble pill
lars, which rest on the marble base. The
font is the gift of two prominent ladies
of the city.
Services viii be held in Bingham on

SALT LAKE SECURITY & TRUST
COMPANY, "a Upper Main street.
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1908-09-05
The Mutual Realty Company.

| Copy of an editorial by Judge c. G
/ Goodwin. which appeared i'm the Tele-
gram, Aug. -, 1909
A new realty company has beer
formed in this city with Messrs. Rob
ert B. Hardness. u. c. lacking, Dr.
Union Worthington and f. Z. McGur-
rim as trustees, the primary object of
which, of course, is to make money.
The second is to build greater Salt
Lake with Salt Lake money. Mrs.
Mary L. Barnes is selling the bonds of
this company. They are to draw per
cent interest. They are absolutely
guaranteed. They are the preferred OBJ
legation of the company and are Sc
cured, both principal and interest, by
all the assets Of the company. The to-
tai amount of bonded shares issued
shall not at any time exceed 50 per cent
of the actual paid-in capital of the
company. The security is equal to that
Of a mortgage on selected real estate
based upon the valuatiin of 80 per cent.
The company already owns a block of
ground on the corner of Second East
and Brunswick avenue, which the COM
pany bought at less than $1,000 and
which is within two blocks of property
which readily brings $4,000 per front
foot. A building is being constructed
which, with the cost of the ground, will
aggregate $4,000. This building VIII
produce in rentals LOO a year. The
expenses will be slightly under S4.700
per year, leaving a profit of $4,000 per
year. allowing $1,000 per year for 6 per
cent of the bond shares as a balance of
$4,000. to be divided among the stock
holders. This means 211 per cent per
annum. The bonds draw per cent.
III ;,,4x
The idea is that if people will sub
scribe to this stock as fast as subscrip-
tons come in. more land will be bought,
more structures will be erected and
while building greater Salt Lake the
buildings themselves will pay the in
vestors four times the interest that
they can obtain from the banks. The
scheme looks entirely feasible on its
face. and 1t has the approval of some
Of the very strongest financiers in the
city. including Mr.. Newhouse and sew
eral of the heaviest real estate dealers
The same system is being worked in
Seattle in building up a great city
there. The general outlines of the plan
ought to be studied by our people and
so far as the bond issue is concerned,
the interest upon the bonds is absolute
y guaranteed at per cent which is
better than the banks viii do. The
beauty of the system is that while not
run by philanthropists. the object is to
convert the money. which people in Salt
Lake have to spare into making
greater Salt Lake. in which they will
LII be owners and with every new
building built, the increased value OF
he property will add new securities to
he investment. While run by a com
1any. it is a profit-sharing institution
III through, and the profits will be ex-
lctly divided to every subscriber in
proportion to what amount of money
lie puts into the concern. The business
ooks like a certified check.

A Nautical Mile.

BY consulting any advanced arithmetic
or unabridged dictionary, it will be seen
that mile in one country differs from
that of another country, SO that confu-
sion is very likely to ensue in the read
er's mind.
out a knot, or nautical mile, is not
measured Oy guess or common usage 1t
rests on a scientific basis and cannot
vary.
How much is a knot? This question is
| asked, we believe. in every sea voyage by
! some passenger or other, and never meets
! with a cellar reply. Sailors themselves do
not describe it distinctly, and books of
reference differ as to it's dimensions. We
purpose TO answer the question here.
A knot is one-siXtieth of mean degree
of the earth's meridian. This definition
requires explanation, and also numerical
computation. The earths meridian is
commonly described as any circle whose
center is the center of the earth, and
whose circumference passes through the
| poles.
This is not exact. because the meridian
| is not a true circle. Evidently it would be
a true circle If the earth were a true
sphere. but the earth is not true sphere,
it is a spheroid, its diameter measured on
! TIE axis being less than its diameter at
the equator.
Hence the circumference Of a section OF
the earth by plane passing through its
center and the poles. which circumference
is a meridian, is not a true circle. but an
oval. Bearing this in mind. it will be
easy to understand the meaning of a
mean degree of the earth's meridian.
If three hundred and sixty separate de-
greeS be set off from the center of 4
perfect circle, it is evident that the circu-
lar measure of each degree measured on
the circumference of the circle will be the
same.
But if they be set off from the center of
an oval the measurements on the cirCum-
ference of the oval viii not all be the
same. That this is the case. any one
may demonstrate for himself, by drawing
an oval and its minor axis. and then from
the center of the oval. with radius equal
to its sem-minor axis, inscribing circle
in the oval
If now degrees or rather. for conven- |
fence equimutires Of q degree-be. set
off from the common center, the gcom- !
etry of the figure WIN show at once the !
variation i'm the circular measurements on
the circumference OF the oval.
Now, a mean degree of the earth'S me-
ridian is the average length of these $50
uneGual measurements, and it is obtained
nv dividing the length of the meridian bv
$50 Astronomers have measured the
earths meridian. and found it 10 he 49,
80 2T English feet.
Dividing this by $50 we Get 3S4 fOo. 10
feet as the length Of mean degree Of the
meridian. One-sixtieth OF this then. is

found to be 6c76.S'S feet. or 2.056.6 yards.

A pathetic scene was enacted few
years ago in the law court of Berlin. :
young wife had wickedly left her hus.
band and taken her little son along
with her, so that her husband was in
censed to the highest degree and had
instituted legal proceedings for di-
vorce.
The day of trial arrived. Accompa-
ried by her child. the wife had mounted
the stairs and had just stepped into
the entrance hall. There she perceived
her husband already present. And
therefore she remained on the oppo-
site side
All of sudden the lad became aware
of the presence of his father, and
breaking away from his mother rushed
toward him, exclaiming: Father, dear
fatherl"
The latter was greatly agitated. TAX
ing the loving boy on his arm and kiss
ing him. Nesting in his fathers arm
the little lad turned toward his mothe
and called out across the room: Moth
er, dear mother, o, do come-see how
loving father ISL
And she. too, is wonderfully agitat-
ed; she answered the call: the husband
gently set down the child in order 10
embrace the mother; and reconciled the
happy twain. arm in arm, left the law
court building.

DOLLY.

Dolly, my Dolly, your sweet blue eyes
Look on the world with a glad sur
prise:
And the tangled mass of your golden
hair
Falls on your neck so white and fair,
AS you quietly sit, and all the while
Your blue eyes CLEAN and your sweet
lips smile.
What are your thoughts. my Dolly,
pray.
AS you sit on your cushions the live
long day?
Do you wonder where the violets hide
Till spring returns to the mountain
side?
Or where the little fishes dream
When winter has frozen each lake and
stream?
Dolly, where do the roses go
When the ground is covered with
feathery snow?
Where are the daisies and primroses
sweet
When winter comes with his skate
bound feet?
Where do the swift-winged swallows
fly
When clouds o'ercome the stormy sky?
One thing 1 know, that, great and
small,
They are loved and cared for, one and
all
There is not bird on its swift wild
wing.
Nor little child in her warm home
nest
That is not cherished and loved and
blest.
