capt. TayIor's Experiments at Wash
ington Navy Yard Important.

Great Britain has paid high honor
to the United States in inviting Con
| structor David Watson Taylor to Visit
England and appear as an expert W.T.
ness in the case which VIII fix the
| blame and responsibility for the ram
ming OF the Olympic, the largest of
all ocean liners, by the British cruiser
! Hawke. The request that he be al
| lowed an opportunity to appear in TINS
lease was transmitted to this govern
ment through the state department. It
is not only high compliment to Cap
tain Taylor himself, but it is a recog-
milton by Great Britain of the high
skill and learning of the men who de-
sign and build warshfps for this coun-
try
Captain Taylor is a specialist in a
peculiar feature of naval construction,
and is generally regarded as the one
man in the world who can be classed
as an expert on the subject. He is the
man who experiments with ship mod
els in the tank at the Washington navy
yard For several years he has been
devoting his time almost exclusively
to this work. Incidental to it he was
led to a study of the attraction of one
vessel for another when they pass at
close quarters, particularly in shallow
water. He made some rather curious
discoveries concerning the effects OF
this suction and has deduced from
them certain general principles which
are of high Importance not only to
the naval but to the maritime world
in general. While it has been generally
recognized for a long time that vessels
in close proximity seem to exercise an
attraction for each other little was
known concerning the phenomenon
until Captain Taylor made an investf-
CATION of it through the use of models
in the tank at the Washington navy
yard.
The results OF his experiments were

MEDAL AND ROSARY
Additional Privilege For
Those Who Desire
Substitute.

The Apostolate of the Rosary is
authority for the statement that
many are taking advantage of the
privilege OF substituting the medal
for one or several of the scapulars
after they have been regularly in
vested in the cloth scapulars. The
medal may be worn about the neck,
or carried in the pocket or in any
becoming manner about the person.
Those who wish may attach the
medal to their Rosaries.
The faithful are invited through
the columns of the Kentucky Irish
American to consider becoming
Rosarians, thereby taking advantage
of the extraordinary indulgence OF
100 years and 100 Lents for carry
ing the beads. To these beads which
they devoutly carry they can attach
the scapular medal.
The sanity Father Plus Massi,
S. j., who died recently, figured out
that Rosarians by the private reeita-
ton of the five decades on beads
blessed by Dominican, or a priest
authorized to give the Dominican
blessing, can gain the seemingly in
credible indulgence of 4S5 years and
fifty days.

local theaters it was my privilege to
see the beautiful and artistic act

yourself, in which you sang the de-
lightful old melodies of Erin in such
a magnificently impressive manner
that my friends and | were COM
PEELED to see your act for the second
time while you were in New York.
I'VE were all so delighted that
the sad, sweet, rollicking music of
Ireland was being rendered in a
manner worthy of the minstrels of
her sad but glorious past, that we
determined to have a large delega-
tion from our Irish societies see your
splendid effort. Unfortunately your
company left this vicinity before we
could make the necessary arrange
ments. All my friends who were
fortunate enough to see this act join
me in stating that you have regis
tered an artistic triumph and we
hope you may find means 10 com
municate with me prior to your
visit so that We may have an oppor-
tunity of showing Mrs. Carleton and
yourself just how highly we appre-
ciate your efforts to uplift Irish
character sketches. Personally |
deeply regret having never met you
and Mrs. Carleton. but hope to have
that privilege soon. Yours very
truly, Patrick ]. Hynes,

ANNIVERSARY
OF Founding of Catholic
Knights - FittinEIy
Observed.

The Catholic Knights of America
in Hamilton county. Ohio, celebrated
the thirty-fourth anniversary OF the
founding of the order by attending
solemn high mass and receiving holy
communion at st. Clements church,
st. Bernard, suburb of Cincinnati,
last Sunday morning. After the
mass breakfast was served by the
ladies of the parish. Later in the
forenoon the visiting Knights were
shown various parts of Hamilton
county in automobiles.
At 1880 O'Clock the Knights at
tended solemn vespers and heard a
sermon from Father Schell, the pas
tor. After vespers a reunion was
held in the school hall. b. Neteler
called the meeting to order and then
handed the gavel to Vincent Beck
man, who presided the remainder of
the afternoon. The first speaker
was DR.. Felix Gaudin, of New Or
leans, Supreme President of the
order. He said that in thirty-four
years the order had paid s17 900, 900
to 10000 families and that it was
seven years ahead of other fraternal
organizations, as It had adopted the
National Fraternal Congress rate.
Others who made addresses were
Gen. Michael Reichert, of Louisville,
and his staff from the Uniform
Rank, including William Meehan.
Eugene Mccarthy, Charles Hill and
Joseph McGinn, Supreme Trustee
Michael Quinn, of Brooklyn. N. Y,
and Judge ]. c. Romer, of Celina,

ters of importance to the order.

banquet at the Gibson House. Gin
cinnati Knights and their ladies'
were the hosts. Covers were laid

were unable to gain entrance, but
stood outside to show that they were
not in sympathy with England. OF
the 5000 men inside the hall there
we're $500 picked members of the
Fenian Brotherhood who had orders
to protect Mr.. Kavanagh from arrest
and to prevent any interference with
his speech at all hazards. He was
recognized as a Yankee Fenian. His
presence in Dublin was unknown
until he was introduced by Chairman
O'Donaghue.
After the cheering that followed
his introduction had subsided MIR.
Kavanagh thanked those assembled
for their cordial welcome and for
the resolutions that had been adopt
ed. Then he said slowly and inn
pressively: "Tf England fires one
hostile shot at the American flag 1t
will sound the doom of the British
empire. There are hundreds of thou
sands of men in America who did not
want this civil war, but they would
throw up their hats and rejoice to
take a shot at the blood-stained flag
of st. George"
These sentiments made Mr.. Kav-
anagh the hero of the hour with the
Irishmen of Dublin, but he was
persona non grata to English police.
He was an American citizen and was
neither arrested or molested. Soon
after he left Ireland on his return to
America and landed in New York In
the early part of January, 1852 On
the very day he set foot in New York
set of American colors, the gift OF
California IrlsnAen, was presented
to the members of the Sixty-ninth
for valor on the field. The pre-
sentation speech was made by Hon.
Richard O'Gorman, who afterward
became Corporation Counsel in New
York. The Collector of Customs for
the port of New York also occupied
seat on the platform. After Mr..
O'Gorman had finished the presenta-
tion speech Mr.. Kavanagh was rec
ognized by some of the New York
Fenians and was compelled to ad-
dress the assembled audience. He
congratulated the members of the
Sixty-ninth on their valor and ex-
pressed regret That they had not had
a chance to fight for Ireland.
