delicate tinted onyx. Another beauti-
full feature will be the entrance to the
crypt, approached by broad stairway
of white marble.
For financing the great building an
initial fund of s250O00 was left by the
late Archbishop Kahn, $71 900 has been
subscribed by the clergy, and S430,O00
more by individual contributors. The
archdiocese is engaged in raising an
other half million for the completion
of the superstructure.
With the finishing of the building,
the archdiocese will have an official
capitol. The old cathedral at Second
and Walnut streets, has been little
more than a parish church since
Archbishop Kain, ten years ago,
planned a new cathedral at Jefferson
avenue and Locust street, site which
he afterwards abandoned. The old
cathedral was dedicated "a years ago,
and was regarded for decades as a no.
table structure.
The ceremony incident to the laying
of the cornerstone for the old cathe-
dral, for which Bishop Rosati toiled
so long and against so many discour-
agements, was the greatest thing Of
it's nature that the young st. Louis
had experienced. 1t took place on the
1st of August, 1881 and in less than
three years the church was completed
and almost paid for. Even in its pres
ent grimy condition, lost among the
h,,; {po ,f ho ,.i,,
ton of the city, it is still a wonderful
structure, with it's stately doric col
umns and it's air of quiet grandeur.
Long ago it was Abandoned by the
archbishop, for whom the small
| chapel at Newstead and Maryland ave-
nues was erected, on the corner of the
spacious lot purchased for the grand
new cathedral; but the part it played
in the early religious life of the city
will never be forgotten, cannot be un-
| derestimated
Long before even this early church
was called into being there was a
| great Catholic church in st. Louis,
great because of its Importance in the
community. 1t was the little struc-
| ture built of upright posts which occu-
pied the middle of the block between
Main and Second streets and sur
rounded by the best of the early
French families that settled st. Louis.
Here Father Bernard de Limpoch, fol-
lowing the work Of Father Valentin,
began the struggle for the erection Of
a church compatible with the wealth
and population of st. Louis. The re-
suit was the little wooden building
that was dedicated in 1776 and re-
manned standing until 1920 That
same struggle was taken up by Bishop
Rosati when the city had outgrown all
its churches, and again by his grace
Archbishop Glennon, when he realized
that st. Louis ought to be the seat
of a really magnificent cathedral.
That the city will ever outgrow this
superb building that is about to come
into being it Is difficult to believe. For
centuries to come it will more than
likely remain a unique and wonderful
example of ecclesiastical architecture,
of which any city might we'll be proud.

Why the Kettle Sinus.

Do you know why a kettle Sings"
when the water is boiling?
It's like this; When the water be-
gins to get hot, little bubbles form
at the bottom of the kettle and rise
toward the top until they burst.
At first they burst only little way
from the bottom, but as the water
gets hotter and hotter they rise high
er and higher.
At last, when the water is boiilng,
hundreds of them one right after an
other--and it is the noise of their CON
tinuous bursting which makes the
30 nd we call singing"

WATER SUPPLY AND POWER.
Great Hydro-EIectrlc Project Near
Torreon in Mexico.

Following the report of government
veys and estimates of a projected dam
across the Nazas river near Torreon,
the federal government of Mexico has
agreed to give financial support to the
proposition, and the contract for it's
construction has been awarded Ac-
neers the dam will cost about $6,000,-
900, and will form one of the largest
water storage reservoirs on the conti-
nent, affording water supply to the
whole NaZas river cotton-growing dis
trict for a period OF three years with
out replenishing.
In connection with this dam, 1t Is
also planned to install hydro-electric
plant to supply all of the towns within
a radius of $50 miles. There are many
large industrial plants In the Nazas
valley which will be provided with
cheap power from the proposed plant,
and 1t is expected that the establish
ment of manufacturing enterprises
will be greatly stimulated.
The principal cotton-growing region
of Mexico lies in this valley, but ow-
ing to the uncertainty of rains in the
mountains the river cannot be depend
ed upon to give an adequate water
supply for irrigation purposes when
most needed. BY storing the water
this difficulty will be overcome. The
site of the proposed dam is in the San
Fernandez canyon.

..WHAT TF2l,

republican politician speaking at an Omaha
banquet board demanded: What would have hap
pened if the democratic party had been in power
during the recent financial crissq"
The Omaha World-Herald answered the question
IN this vigorous fashion:
If the democratic party had been in power the
government might have taxed the people to pay the
nterest On the money donated for the free and I'M
restricted use Of the Wall street gamblers
eff the democratic party had been in power the
United States treasury might have been stripped Of
al its cash. and the cash have been given, interest
free to those same Wall street gamblers that they
might lend it out, at exhorbitant interest to the
people who had paid it into the treasury and to
whom it belonged
If the democratic party had been in power the
United States might had tottered into the yawning
chasm Of utter and rretrevable ruin, unless J
Pierpont Morgan or John D. Rockefeller had gen.
Crousy stepped to the front to save It just as il
was topping over the brink

Worse than that! Cows would refuse to give

The stomach is a good strong vital
