A PILGRIMAGE TO IRELAND.

A patriotic young Irishman in the
government employ at Washington, D.
c., has originated movement which
is being extensively advertised in, the
principal daily newspapers of the
country. 1t is called home coming
movement to aid Ireland's industrial
revival, and not less than $4,000 sons
and daughters of Erin are expected to
go back to their native land during
the summer of 1910 and see what they
can do to promote the revival of Irish
industries and give an impetus to the
development Of the natural resources
of the island. Richard Croker, the for
mer Tammany chieftain, who lives on
a large estate outside the city Of Dub
lin, and is now on visit in New York
gives the movement his endorsement
and says there are grand opportunities
In Ireland for the investment of
American capital.
Every we'll informed Irishman is
aware of the fact that the F,meralh
Isle of his birth is bounteously blessed
with latent natural resources. hut that
it requires a great deal Of capital for
their development. What encourage
ment would be given to prospective
American investors in mining and man
ufacturing enterprises in Ireland Is
more than we can say. If Ireland was
governed and owned by the Irish them
selves, we think that inducements
would be offered to the returning
Irishmen for safe and profitable in
vestments, but SO long as Ireland is
governed as it is at present. from Lon
don. very few Irish from America will
care to go into business in the old land
Very few Of them will care to give UP
their residence in the United States
and live under the bloody flag of Eng.
land. The Irish who have lived for
years under old Glory and breathed
the pure air of freedom would find II
very hard to live in Ireland under the
'esent conditions; even though they
had the riches Of Vanderbilt or a
Rockefeller.
The Irish in America may not invest
their money in Ireland, but if they
take few months vacation next year,
we know Of no place preferable to Ire
land for them. Very few Irishmen had
the opportunity to see much of Ireland
before their departure for America.
They know but little of it's picturesque
beauty, if they had never travelled be-
yond the borders of their native coun-
ties. Americans who have been ell
over the world say that Ireland is the
most beautiful country they have SEEN
Moore did not exaggerate when he
called it first flower Of the earth and
first gem Of the sea-" BY all means,
let the Irish go back next year if they
AN spare the time and the money.
They will be kindly treated and hos
pitably entertained by their country
men at home. Things may appear
strange to them since, they emigrated
to America. There Is a New Ireland
instead of the Old Ireland they knew
forty or fifty years ago. Many changes
have occurred in their absence, but the

The New World asks: after
all, may not the Irish bishops be right
in not wishing 1t obligatory for young
men seeking to enter the new Irish
university to know Gaelic? Why re-
ject bright young fellows who may
never have had chance to learn the
language?" II the bright young fell
lows go from America and Australia.
there may. be some excuse for them;
but in Ireland, where the most ct them
will come from, they can acquire the
necessary knowledge Of the language
in the public schools and preparatory
colleges to pass an examination for
admission to the new university. The
Irish priests should see to It that their
boys learn Gaelic as they do their Lat
in. There Is every facility, since the
organization Of the Gaelic movement.
An Irish university without the Irish
language would be like English trial
by jury in Ireland mockery, a
delusion and snare The Irish bish-
ops are not infallible in their judg-
ment, and must heed the voice OF the
Irish nation. The sooner they do 1t
the better for the new university.

The SIeerinu Sickness.

The terrible sleeping sickness of
tropical Africa is discussed at length
in an article in Popular Mechanics.
The disease. which long bafiled scien-
fists, is spread by the tsetsc fly, a
bloodsucking, day flying insect. On the
approach of either man or animal at
river crossing in the densest forest
the victim is soon scented out by the
fly. IL there is one in the vicinity. and
then, either silently or with a peevish
buzz, it ma'-es straight for the most
accessible spot and gives its stab.
The usual course Of the disease is
from four to eight months. At the
outset there are headache, 4 feverish
condition, lassitude and correspond
ing disinclination to work. The facial
aspect changes, and a previously happy
and intelligent looking negro becomes
instead dull heavy and apathetic.
Later, tremor in the tongue develops,
speech is uncertain, and mumbling,
walk shuffling and progressive weak
ness, drowsiness and oblivion to his
surroundings afliict the sufferer. Tho
last stage is marked by extreme ema-
citation and a coma deepening into
death
