1t has been supposed that the an
clients had some method Of hardening
bronze too's, the secret of which had
been lost. Prof Gowland of the Brit
ish Institute of Metals. says that tho
ancient bronzes were very impure.
so that their hardness could not have
been due, as sometimes assumed, to
their exceptional purity. On the other
hand, inasmuch as modern bronzes by
careful hammering can be made a.
hard as the ancient ones. the legend
Of q lost art in bronze hardening
seems to be exploded.

Tiny candelabra in gilt and crystal. with

HOLY DAYS FOR CHILDREN
Priest Urges Keeping Them Out
of the Public Schools.

In his sermon yesterday morning Father
Green. assistant rector of the Church Of
St Thomas the Apostle, St Nicholas ave-
nue. and West 118th street urged his pa
rishioners to keep their children out of
the public schools on each Of the five holy
days Of the Church calendar. The He
brews he said, keep their children away
from the school on all religious holy days,
and the Roman Catholics, he believed,
should do the same.
Father Green said that on November !,
which was the Feast of All Saints, a num-
Der of Catholic children were absent from
the grade and high schools. which prompt
ed one Of the principals TO go TO Father
McGrath 10 ask why the scholars were alb
sent Father McGrath advised the princi-
pal that il was the purpose OF all parishes
Of the Catholic Church TO have the chill
dren of the parish observe religious holy
DAYS.
The parochial school of St Thomas's
parish is very small. Father NIcGrath said
yesterday that 1t is growing. however, and
he hoped soon that more than the present
one-tenth of the parish school children
would be enrolled

Estimates for 1912 $4,000, 900
Lower than for Current Year.

Washington, Dec 4.-The estimates Of
the Secretary Of the Navy for the fiscal
year 1912, which show saving OF 81. 0O0-
600 compared with the appror,riatio
fer the Navy Department for the current
year. provide for an expenditure of SIS
1882 for public works at the navy yards
and stations. These are for items regard
ed as absolutely essential and are based
upon personal inspection by Secretary
Meyer of the navy yards and stations which
he made on his recent tour.
The original recommendations made to
the Secretary for these works reached the
sum Of S2S,621.530 but in the interest of
economy Mr. Meyer was able TO make a
substantial reduction holding the figures
70 matters entirely within the range Of i'm
portance or necessity
Some of the estimates for public works
are as follows: New York Navy Yard.
81 469. Ooo Pearl Harbor. Hawaiian Isl
ands. naval station. $2.eS7.0oo: Boston
Navy Yard. s277.G00: marine barracks,

mouth IN. HI Navy Yard. S12a. 600; Puget
Sound Navy Yard. $3.50 00o, and Washing
ton navy yard. S134.503.
As the first years appropriation for the
new vessels which the Secretary recon-
mends. he names S6.0e0.000 as the neces-
sary figure for construction and machinery
and S5,750,42S for armor and armament
which is s3,494.194 less than the amount
appropriated for the new building pro-
gramnae this year. In addition the Score
tary recommends S1O.453.619 for the con-
tirUation Of work on vessels now under
construction. which is S6.9S2105 less the
amount appropriated for a similar purpose
this year.
The total amount which viii be submitted
