chances Of the Eesostris gaining her

The Sesostris was a brand new
freight steamer, on q maiden trip
from Europe, when steaming up the
wet coagt to San Diego, she ran
ashore on sand island near 0cos. Ar
ter several days OF heavy swells, the
steamer was washed high and dry,
though maintaining an even keel. Aft

NEWEST IDEA IN EDUCATION
Cinematoqraph Films Are to Be Put
to Use in the Higher German
Schools.

According TO official information re-
Gently received by the United States
bureau OF education, the use of NOV
ing pictures in education has had a
significant impetus in German govern
ment circles. The Prussian ministry
OF education is now considering the
feasibility of employing cinemato-
graph films in some of the higher edu-
cational institutions. as applicable TO
certain courses of instruction. and a
number Of film manufacturers have
been given an opportunity to show
the authorities what films they have
that ere adated to educational pur-
poses.
A well known philanthropist has re
Gently donated two full equipped NOV
ing picture machines to the schools of
Berlin, one TO be used in the Continue
ton Institute for Higher Teachers and
the other in the high schools of Great
er Berlin. Moving picture films are
now available in Germany for anato-
mical. biological and ARCHAEOLOGICAL
courses. and it is believed there that
an enormous field for them will be
opened up when educators fully realize
their value.

MIGHTY SWIRL OF WATERS
WORLDS Greatest Whirlpool at june.
ton OF Two Great South Amer
lean Rivers.

In the Wide World Mr. W. O..
Symon gives an interesting &C
count OF his experience In South
America In regard to the junction
OF the Madre de Dios and Inambari
river Mr.. Symon says:
Just before the junction OF the lat
ter river divides into two arms, with
an island some two miles long in
between. The right arm. which is
usually the safer for navigation was
ut the time of our arrival. impossible.
owing to the recent and excessive
drought that had formed the forma-
ton OF perilous rapids We had, in
consequence, to take the wide left
arm, down which the main volume OF
the river was flowing.
The reader can imagine the enor-
nous force of water that was being
shot into the Madre de Dios when
he realizes that the Inambari at it's
LETT arm projection was 800 yards
wide, perhaps 80 feet in depth. and
flowing at six knots an hour This
great mass Of water met the Madre
de Dios, itself 400 yards wide here. at
a right angle. The current OF the
lnambari being faster than the Madre
de Dios. the former river cut it's way
through the latter. right across to the
farther bank. There the Inambari
was thrown back, and surged around
in a huge circle 200 yards in diane
ter to join up again with the water
lowing to the bank. The whirlpool
thus formed was probably one of the
largest in the world. q have pur-
posely used past tense in this descrip-
ton, as the course of the Inambari
IS constantly changing it's mouth.)
The circles Of seething water curled
inward and downward, screw fashion,
to their center, which appeared as a
great hole, at least six feet below
the level of the outer rim.

years so of this number have suf-

awaiting their turn to cater for the

will wait long time, for the major

the cemetery was the first New Eng

OF many of the pioneers among the

Nearly century ago, in 1918 to be
exact, ST. Augustlne's cemetery was
established. Its setting aside was
due to the sentimental regard Of Bish-

bishop of Boston, fer the compatriot
and co-worker, Fr. Francis Anthony
Matignon, who had been a priest in
Boston for more than a quarter Of q
century. FIR. Matignon was sent to
this city in 1899 TO administer to the
spiritual needs OF the then relative
~ small Catholic colony, and four
years later, finding the field of his en-
beavers growing constantly he sent
to France and induced FIR. Cheverus
TO join him in the work. When the
authorities at Rome decided to raise
Boston to bishopric it was intended
to promote FIR. Martignon, but he pre-
