Entertain Catholics

German Catholics are leading in eff
forts to teach the Catholic laity what
their church regards as sound social
views. Last year the first conference
of Catholic social leaders was held at
Fordham university, New York. 1t was
fairly successful and this year there
has Just been held in the same uni
versity, using halls and dormitorles not
just now used by students, second
conference. During the same period a
new conference on social affairs was
held in Wisconsin. tho plan being in
one meeting to get hold of sociological
leaders. clerical and lay. in the east
and IN the other those of the west.
The plan of these Catholic leaders is
to show to the common people in Cath
Ollie pews what has been the history
of labor and social agitation from the
Middle Ages to the present. and what
position the Catholic church has taken,
An encyclical issued by Pope Leo XIII
not long before his death is the
groundwork of the instruction. Clergy
in parishes. professors in colleges, and
such laymen as will take hold and help,
are uSeu 10 40 the dCludl iHSlTutllnS,
and these conferences are, therefore,
not only to give lectures to those who
are to teach, but also to map, out meth :
DDS and progress that may have ma :
tional scope.
The ultimate purpose of the Germans
is to combat the socialists. The work
Is confined to Catholics, but in some OF
their plans they have enlisted the
friendly cooperation of Jews and Pro-
testants. The principal speakers at the
conference just held were the Rev. II,
]. Maekel, S. J. of Canlsius college,
Buffalo. a foremost social worker and
leader of the city named, his efforts
extending to city and county prison
reform and having the cooperation of
the Charity Organization society, and
the Rev DR.. John A. Ryan, professor
of sociology in ST Paul university.
About $50 men. half OF them laymen,
attended the two conferences just held.
Many were college professors and Ia
Dor leaders.

LIGHTNING IN THE TROPICS
II Is Most Deadly on Madagascar
Island, Killing 300 Yearly

From the Hamilton Review
Thunder storms never occur in the Arc
tic regions Nearer the equator the more
severe are the electric manifestations.
In certain parts of Central Africa the
average run of thunder storms is $50 days
year. yet there are some very curious
exceptions. In Summarize and Java, both
very hot climates, there are only %
storms yearly. and in Borneo only about
80. The gold coast of Africa, has only
about 60 a year. which Is less than oc-
cur in Florida, though the latter country
Is outside the tropics.
In Java there is a thunder storm every
day tor FIVE months. Perhaps the most
astonishing fact in regard to thunder
storms Is that the island of Mauritius.
which is only $50 miles east of Madagas-
car has on an average only one thunder
storm in 30 years.
Yet In Madagascar the lightning is
more destructive than anywhere else IN
the world. the annual number of deaths
Icing more than 300.
