OLD WORLD NEWS.

To Check Movement Into Paris
Ecclesiastical authorities in France
have organized a society for prevent
ing the continually increasing immi-
grafton to Paris of French country
people. Cardinal Annette is at the
head of this new society, and some
of the most noted men of the day are
interested in it.
Increase in Paris Churches.-In his
speech at a recent meeting of the
Oeuvre des Chapelles des Secours, of
Paris, NJ Henri Cochin, the we'll
known Catholic Deputy for the Depart
ment of the Nord, showed that in 1905
there existed in Paris and in the whole
department of the Seine only LAT
churches for a population of 5000, 900
souls. In the diocese of Paris there
was only one priest for each $4,000
inhabitants, whereas in the diocese of
Cambria, for instance, there we're ten
priests for the same number of people
Since that time, till the close of 1912,
nine new parishes have been created
in Paris and fifteen in the suburbs, to
which must be added twenty-five new
auxiliary chapels-that is to say, a
total of forty-nine new places of pub
lie worship.
Sogdian Language Re-discovered.-
R. Gauthiot, the French savant, has
presented to the Sorbonne the first
grammar of the Sogdian language
which was lost to the world one thou
sand years ago. The Sogdians are
supposed to have been a powerful and
highly cultured race, inhabiting Cen.
trail Asia, where now there is merely
sandy desert. Their language, it is
declared, shows that they we're the
parents of all the present European
and Indo-European races, though the
method of writing this language re
sembles Semitic rather than Arabic.
A tribe in Central Asia, namely, the
Yagnobis, is thought to preserve some
characteristics of the lost race, whose
rediscovery is expected to clear up
many problems in history. Prof eau
