A Northern Mediterranean.
American Retiew of Reviews.

From the American Review of Reviews
The reason why the Hudson Bay project
Is advocated SO warmly is that this bay
itself, described by some os "the Medi-
terranean of the North" is the third larg-
est sea" in the world and gives access to
a region that promises to rival in the
future the group Of Northwestern States
Of the American Union. The area of the
Mediterranean Is $1,000 square miles: of
the Baltic, $4,000; of Hudson Bay. 355, 600
Its length is 500 miles and breadth 600. and,
compared with the Great Lakes, it is a
veritable ocean, for Lake SUPERIOR S
area is only $1,000 square miles: Lake HUI
ross but 2S,0C0: Lake Michigan's a scant
800: Lake Erie's merely $3.50, and Lake
Ontario's barely 1,240. The outlet of Hud-
son Bay to the Atlantic Is Hudson Strait,
nearly 500 miles long. with an average
breadth of 100 miles, its narrowest width
being sixty miles, SO that this whole
marine waste Is a great landlocked sea,
Of development into a magnifi-
cent commercial waterway. The far
stretching expanse of continent which
drains into it. formerly known al Ru-
perts Land, after Prince Rupert, the

the seat of what may far outstrip the
empires of old and become the homes of
and prosperous millions.

CHANGES ARE MANY In
FRENCH RELIGIOUS LIFE

Since the decree separating church and
State in France. religious conditions in
that country have undergone a consider
able change. according to The Outlook
Pastor Charles Wagner reports that con-
ditions In Protestant as well as in Catho-
lie churches have improved; that, despite
certain inequalities of the new law, there
has been a definite religious growth.
Visitors to Paris and other large towns,
says foreign correspondent writing in
the New York Freeman's Journal re-
marked that the number OF Catholics to
be seen at the offices Of the church is
much greater than formerly, that the
Reorganization of the sacraments Is more
satisfactory, that numerous pious works
have been started In which the laity
zealousiy cooperate. that priests and
people devote themselves untiringly to
promote the interests Of religion, and
that In various directions Catholic ac-
sivity Is more in advance than when the
church enjoyed the doubtful blessing of
State patronage. On this the correspon-
dent thus comments: Thal law Of sepa-
ration has no doubt been Ibllowed by a
very notable display of zeal on the part
Of the clergy and of increased religious
and social activity among many of the
laity-the good have, in fact, become bet
ter. especially In the cities. But, as vet,
there has been no stirring Of the dry
bones, no Catholic revival of Importance

DARING THIEVES
ROB BROAD STREET
JEWELRY STORE
Smash Window and Scoop Out
Trinkets-LOss May
Be 900.

Perhaps one of the boldest robberies
ever reported to the police occurred
last night when thieves using a brick,
smashed a vestibule window of the
jewelry store owned by the MarceauX
F'reses, $50 Broad street, and scooped
out watches and jewelry, the value of
which is expected may reach $1,000.
Most of the articles taken were the
ticles having been removed and
locked up in the safe on Saturday.
The robbery was discovered this
morning when the employees of the
store reported for work. The police
were notified Immediately, but are
said to have found nothing which
would lead to the identity of thI
crooks
just wheh the break was made is
not known. and it is a mystery to the
police as to how the burglars could
have operated without detection. It
is believed the window was broken
while a trolley car was passing, in
order that the noise of breaking glass
could not be heard.
The robbery of $500 in cash and two
checks for SIS from the butcher shop
of Roth & Co.. sc Washington avenue,
was made to the police today. Ac-
cording to Charles Heine, the man.
ager, the safe was locked when the
store was closed Saturday night 1t
was found locked this morning when
employees came to the store. The
loss was discovered when the man.
ager opened the safe. The police are
making an investigation
