There was a knock on the door In
the midst of the packing. and the little
globe trotter opened it to behold John
Chinaman with her laundry bundle.
"Pll not need you again, John. I'm

ing explanation. Me go back some

DIOCESE OF DES MONIES
Name is of Indian, not French, Origin
Latin Name of the See.

The new diocese of Des Moines,
Iowa, takes it's place in the list as
Dioecesis Desmoinensis. AS the did,
cese of Little Rock is known In the
language of the Church as Dioecesis
Petriculano, some may have expected,
says "America," that from a fanciful
derivation IF the word the Iowa do
cese might be styled Dioecesis Mona
chorum-the diocese of the monks
as we have des moines (of the monks)
in French. But the Iowa river does
not owe it's name to the good Trap
pist monks whom the famine of
1S4S drove to this country from
Mount Melleray, Ireland. The In
dian name of the river was ''moin-
gona," meaning road or trail, because
much travelled trail led along it..
This name the French hunters and
trappers shortened into riviere des
moins, and it was Des Moines River
for a generation before the Irish Trap
pists left their home for America. H.
M. Breckenridge in his charming
journal of a Voyage Up the Mis-
souri, in 1811"-a work published in
1816-gives the modern accepted SPELL
ing, though earlier writer's use ''De
Moyen" and similar phonetic spellings
of the name.

which they are generally conducted,
they preponderate very much on the
side of evil, and are consequently ex-
tremely dangerous. Being generally
carried on in the darkness and OBJ
security of the night, it is by no means
surprising that several vicious circum-
stances should obtain easy admittance,
since the subject is of itself so sus-
ceptible of evil. The votaries of these
amusements, by sitting up late at
night, disable themselves from dis
charging their duty to God on the
following morning. Is it not then, a
kind of madness to exchange the day
for the night, light for darkness, and
good works for criminal fooleries?
Everyone strives who shall carry the
most vanity to the ball; and vanity
is so congenial as well to evil affec-
tons, as to dangerous familiarities,
that both are easily engendered by
dancing.

atmospheric pressure at different par
allels. This dial is combined with an
ordinary barometer, SO that glance
at the instrument shows the variation
of pressure wherever the instrument
happens to be.
The instruments designed by Fa-
Their Algue have been ordered by the
Secretary of the Navy for all naval
vessels and all Atlantic Naval Sta
tons. It is planned to introduce them
into general use among all classes of
ships before the opening of the Pan
anna Canal.
Father Algue is native of BARGE
Iona, Spain. From 1891 to 1893 he
was assistant at the Observatory of
Georgetown University. In 1893 he
went to the Philippines, where he be-
came Assistant Weather Observer, and
then head of the department under
the Spanish Government. After the
Spanish-American War, he was re-
tanned in that position by the United
States. Other inventions of his are

ing the movement of clouds and the
rejecting zenith telescope for record
ing latitude.

Invents Instrument to Note Variations
of Atmospheric Pressure-WiII Fore
tell Storms and Their Direction-A
Useful Invention.

Rev. Jose Algue, S. J., Director of
the Philippine Weather Bureau, was
in Washington recently after complet-
ing certain studies to render more
useful an instrument, called the baro-
cyclonometer. which he invented in
1897 to detect variations in the at
mospheric pressure at different points
on the earth's surface The baro-
cyclonometer shows the variation from
normal atmospheric pressure. When
the variation from the normal pres
sure is known, it is possible, by OBJ
serving the direction and velocity of
the wind, to detect hurricane at
distance of 500 miles and to calculate
the path it will take. Ships equipped
with the instrument have no difficulty
in keeping clear of storms in the
Pacific and East Indian oceans, where
they are now in use, and shipwreck
due to storms has been almost en-
tirely eliminated by this device.
In the eastern tropical seas, where
storms are most frequent the hurri-
cane, or typhoon, cannot, since the
invention of the barocyclonometer,
take a vessel by surprise, and are no
longer to be dreaded. It has come in
to general use among vessels sailing
to the East Indies and Asia. To
apply the barocyclonometer to the
Atlantic Ocean, however, required a
new set of calculations, and at the
invitation of Capt. jayne, Superintend-
ent of the Naval Observatory at Wash
ington, Father Algue went to study
data at Washington and Havana
which would make it possible to use
his device on the North Atlantic.
The work which Father Algue had
to do was to determine the normal
atmospheric pressure at different lat
itudes on the Atlantic Ocean. With
this data he has prepared the dial
for barocyclonometer for use on the

The eyes of many a weary worker in
Holland turn with longing toward
America, that land Of fabulous wealth
in the same way that the Germans,
during Hollands golden age, used to
dream of Amsterdam, that city paved

dreamer Of old, the Hollander knows
that gold Is not to be picked up sin

idlers, but must be gained by honest
