GREAT MEXICAN CHURCH,
Edifice at Santo Domingo, 800 Years
Old, Larger Than St. Paups.

Larger than Westminster, larger even
than st. Paul's, is the Church of Santo
Domingo. This great edifce, renowned
in many countries, is known not only
for its size, but for the beauty and mag
ni6cence of its decorations and the many
historic events entwined in its history
says The Mexican Herald The church
was built on consecrated ground, having
been the site of the martyrdom OF Two
Dominican priests, who were killed by
Indians in the time of Cortez.
By 1850 there were a number Of Do
minican friars in OaXaca. and the uues-
ton of erecting a church and convent
for the use of the order was agtated.
The exact date of the beginning is not
known, but it must have been shortly
after the middle of the Sixteenth century
they began the work with a few laborerS,
who gave their services, and every mem
Der of the order worked hard collecting
more funds. A petition was sent to the
King of Spain for assistance, to which
he responded generously. from time to
time the King sent contributions, and
there was no halt in the work.
ST. Paul's cathedral, in London. meas
ures 510x250 feet and cost f747 ,954 or
Z ,497 $40 pesos, or some 100000 pesos
less than Santo Domingo. Some idea Of
the size of the structure can be obtained
when it is considered that four buildings
the size of Westminster abbey could be
set on the ground covered by this Do
minican temple. At the present time,
however, only small part of the church
is used for WORSHIP, the other portions
having been converted into barracks by
the government.
Owing to the great height and thick
ness of the walls of the church it has
been used for a fort on any and every
occasion when necessary. No wars, how
ever, marred the serenity of the early
Dominicans, and each year saw the
church increasing in wealth. The library
was ranked among the greatest in the
republic. The interior of the church
was decorated in many places with pure
gold.
Santo Domingo was turned into bar
racks by the French army of occupation
and the gold decorations, the fine paint
ings and costly adornments were ruth
lessly stripped from her walls. The
friars were driven out, and for six years
the church was fort and nothing more
The accumulated grandeur of 300 years
was undone in few brief months.

Prof. Newcomb on Aerial Navigation.

With reference to the efforts to master
the realm of air it is interesting to re-
call the conclusions of the great scien-
fist. Prof. Simon Newcomb, whose death
this week has deprived America of her
foremost figure in astronomy and mathe-
mates.
Do the Wrights seem to have less sue
cess here than they had in Europe? II
does not matter, according to the theory
of Prof. Newcyomb, for what difference
is a fragmentary and momentary tr-
umph more or less if the general scheme
is doomed to failure?
Prof. Newcomb was convinced that
the aeroplane-which cannot be navigat-
ed out of sight of the land or in a fog
which cannot pause in its flight for any
repairing or readjusting of its delicate
machinery. which makes toward the
ground like wounded bird the moment
any stoppage occurs"-will never be of
much use as a carrier of passengers and
freight. The same handicaps would, of
course, fatally limit its efficiency against
an ehemy in time of war.
He recognized the superiority of the
dirigible balloon or airship, which, float
ing by its own buoyancy, can be navigat-
ed at great attitudes, and in fogs, and
which possibly can stop in mid-air for
necessary repairs. and which can be en-
larged far beyond its present experiment
tai proportions. But the cost of con-
structiOn and of fuel, the resistance of
the air, the danger in strong winds, the
difficulty of landing in foggy weather,
and other minor considerations. led the
Professor to doubt that airships would
ever put railroads and steamships out of
business. In war, he thought, they would
be useful for scouting and could drop
explosives. though the height from which
this would have to be done would make
it difficult to hit battleship in motion.
He said a single yeoman armed with
a repeating rifle could disable whole
fleet of airships before their crews could
see what he was doing.
Believing thus, Prof. Newcomb felt
free to extend reinsurance to nervous
Englishmen. He though Zeppelin's air.
ship, after Improvement, might carry
its inventor to the north pole with great
er safety than it could carry an invader
into England
