LITTLE HERO.

A little Chinese boy only 10 years
of age went to the Bishop and begged
for confirmation, for which he had
been considered too young. The
Bishop hesitated. The eagerness of
the child touched him, but he was SO
young! The boy continued to sup
plicate for the sacrament.
"But, after you are confirmed, if
the mandarin puts you in prison and
questions you about your faith" said
the prelate, what will you answer
him."
''Monseigneur, l will tell him that
am a Christian by the grace of
God"
''And if he commands you to deny
your faith, what will you do?"
II shall answer Never !"
"And if he should say that you
must not go to church, or keep holy
the Sundays and festivals of obliga-
tion?'
81 shall tell him that must first of
all obey the commandments"
"And suppose that, in the end he
will call the executioner and will say
to you: Unless you apostatize these
men shall cut off your head" What
will you say then?"
'I will say cut it off.
The little hero was confirmed.

Callistus the fish appears as symbol
as early as the opening of the second
century
Early Christian Symbols.
Among the early symbols of Chris
tianity, the Good Shepherd carrying
a sheep on His shoulders was one of
the first. This symbol did not betray
the Christians because it was quite
similar to the pagan figures OF
Hermes Kriophorus which were much
in vogue about the birth of Christi
anity. This representation recalled
eloquently the self-forgetting Master
and inspired His faithful followers
to be charitable and helpful to- one
another The banquet scene, with it's
bread and fishes, was another symbol
much in use in Christian antiquity.
Symbol of Safety.
The anchor was regarded in an
cient times as a symbol of safety. 1t
naturally was taken up by the Chris
tians as a sign of hope in future
existence. 1t appears on the ancient
monuments in many forms. In He
brews chap. vi. 1919, st. Paul speaks
of two immutable things in which we
may have the strongest comfort, we,
"who have fed for refuge to hold fast
the hope set before us. Which we
have as an anchor of the soul, sure
and firm"

He rediscovered the laws relating to
the uses of the lever, lost since the
time of Archimedes. He understood
and wrote exhaustive treatises on sta
tics and hydrostatics a century be-
fore Stevinus told them to the world.
He originated the science of hydrau-
lies and probably invented the hydro
meter.
He knew the earth's annual mo-
ton, discovered the effect of the
moon upon the tides, foreshadowed
the elevation of continents and dis
covered the nature of fossil shells.
No doubt his opinions aided Column

round He planned with Amerigo
Vespucci to visit the new world.
In addition to all those activities
Leonardo da Vinci found time to do
few other things, any one of which
would make the ordinary person feel
successful in life He acted as his
own attorney against his step-broth-
ers in a suit to break his fathers will
and won over the best legal talent in
Florence. 1t is now known that he
discovered the camera obscura before
Cesare Cesarini or Cardanus. He was
the first European scholar to use the
plus and minus signs, which calls to
mind that da Vinci was mathema-
tician of extraordinary ability, He
was the despair of his instructors and
became more proficient than the
learned men of that science.
Leonardo invented marble saw
that is still used in Italian quarries
Also rope-making machine which is
pronounced as good as any yet de
vised He advocated the practicability
of tunneling under rivers instead OF
bridging them, and in several other
instances forecasted inventions OF

GREATEST GENIUS.
Of All the Ages Was Leonardo da
Vinci.

Leonardo da Vinci was master of
more things than most men know
casually. He was painter, sculptor,
engineer, architect, inventor, philoso-
pher, naturalist and a number of other
things. And in each line he excelled.
Il can do as much as any other, be
he who he may" Leonardo wrote to
Lodevico Sforza, Duke of Milan, and
he made good his boast.
He is best known to moderns as an
artist. His Last Supper" mural
painting in the Santa Maria dele
Grazie at Milan, is the worlds greatest
painting. His Mona Lisa" stolen
from the Louvre, in Paris, in August,
1911, was the worlds most beautiful
portrait.
Painting, however, was only one
side of da Vincis artistic develop
ment His sculpture work in bronze,
marble and clay is unsurpassed. In
that line one might call him the Ro-
din of the Renaissance, as in inven-
ton he was the Edison of that period.
He was a master of pen, pencil and
charcoal sketching; was the first artist
to perfect fore-shortening, that elusive
picture depth that all artists strive for,
in the human figure, and he solved the
problem of chiaroscuro in his Ma
donna in the Grotto," which picture,
unfortunately, has been lost. In adj
dition to all these artistic accomplish
ments Leonardo established the first
Academy of Art and was first to base
all art instruction entirely upon the
study of nature.
Naturally one would think all that
sufficient for one mans activity in
art but da Vinci also was an eXcep-
tional engraver, architect of the Ca
thedral of Milan and a designer of
pageants and festivals. Raphael and
MicheIangelo, his contemporaries,
studied his works as they did those of
older masters.
Had Leonardo da Vinci never
touched brush to canvas or chisel to
marble he would have won fame
enough to make him one of the lead
ing men of his age in many other lines.
AS an engineer he planned canals in
the Pc Valley and a new course for
the Arno river Both were carried
out. He was engineer for the harbor
improvements at Florence and acted
as consulting engineer for most OF
the important works of that age in
Italy. His military inventions alone
would suffice for one extremely &C
tive life. He was military engineer
to the Duke of Milan, the Republic
of Florence and King Louis XII OF
France at different times. He de-
signed the first breech-loading can
non, armored car, rapid-f1re gun, pom
toon bridge, mortar lombard and eff
fective underground mine. No other
man has equaled that record in mill.
tary inventions, and it was only one
of da Vincis activities. He also i'm
proved field artillery and fire-proofed
wood to make his pontoon bridges
safer He left plans for a steam can
non and demonstrated the superiority
of conical bullets.
In anatomy Leonardo was a pic
neer. He made the first anatomical
chart and instructed surgeons on the
relation and functions of the different
organs. He raised physiology to 9
science, also botany and zoology. He
was the leading naturalist of his age.
Mechanics was another subject that
interested this remarkable Florentine

THE BOY WHO LOVES HIS
MOTHER.

She sat in the porch in the sunshine,
AS l went down the street
A woman whose hair was silver,
But whose face was blossom sweet,
Making me think of a garden,
When, in spite of the frost and
snow,
OF bleak November weather,
Late fragrant lilies blow.
l heard footstep behind me,
And the sound of a merry laugh,
And knew the heart it came from
Would be like comforting staff
In the time and hour of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong,
One of the hearts to lean on,
When we think all things go wrong.
I turned at the click of the gate-latch;
And met his manly look;
A face like his gives me pleasure,
Like the page of pleasant book.
1t told of steadfast purpose,
OF brave and daring will,
A face, with promise IN it,
That, God grant, the years fulfil
He went up the pathway singing,
saw the woman's eyes
Grow bright with a wordless welcome,
As sunshine warns the skies.
Back again, sweetheart mother"
He cried, and bent to kiss
The loving face unified
For what some mothers miss.
That boy win do to depend on,

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE WHITE KITTENS.

Father Todd was once staying for
short time at Chislehurst, where
he had been taking the place of a
sick priest. He had been hard at
work all day, and was just rejoicing
in being able to come home and rest
for the evening in his armchair,
when a message was brought to him
late at night that woman "a
strangely was dying in cottage on
Chislehurst Common, and earnestly
desired the services of a Catholic
priest.
1t was not till after the little child
messenger had departed that Father
Todd discovered that she had
neither left the name of the sick
woman nor the address of the cottage
However, he prepared at once to go
and find her out, though it was ter
rible night of wind and rain, taking
The holy oils and the Blessed Sacra-
ment with him. He had friend stay
ing with him in the presbytery, who
insisted on accompanying him, as the
night was pitch dark and they did not
know the way. Taking a lantern they
accordingly started for the Common,
but when they reached it they wan
dered from one end to the other, look
ing in vain for any trace of house.
The weather was so bad that no
one was out of doors from whom they
could inquire, and Father Todd's
Friend was about to give it up in
Despair, when the good priest turned
co him and said: 'FLet us say Hail
Mary with all our hearts, and add
the prayer that she may guide us
Alright"
They did so, and almost immedi-
ately Father Todd felt something
rubbing against his legs and, look
ing down, saw a little white kitten.
She trotted on before them, turning
round from time to time to see -
they were following her, and at last
stopped, and jumped through little
gate into a garden where a cottage
stood and light was burning.
Father Todd fastened to the door,
which was quickly opened by kindly
woman, who exclaimed: Thank God,
sir, that you are come" She led him
into an inner room, where the poor,
dying soul was lying. The priest saw
that the case was urgent, and at once
administered the last rite.
1t seems that she had come from
London to see her friend, and had
been suddenly taken ill with the
heart disease from which she had for
some time suffered, and of which the
doctor had foreseen she would GER
tainly some day die. She was a good
practical Catholic, and when she
recovered partial consciousness ex
pressed the utmost gratitude to Father
Todd for his visit.
She fingered on for some hours
during which time he never left her
and not till all was over, and the last
prayer for the dying had been said
and the last absolution had been given
did he return to his presbytery to
seek his much-needed rest. His kind
ness, and the faith and love of the
dying woman, brought about the con.
version of her friend. Father Todd
often spoke of this wonderful answer
to the Hail Mary" and of the guide
our Lady had sent in the shape OF
the little kitten, and used to quote it to
his spiritual children to encourage
their faith in the Mother of our Lord

RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS.

Religious symbols were in use
among the pagans long before Chris
tianity was preached. Indeed, there
must be symbolism wherever there
is a system of worship dealing with
things invisible and mystic. In read
ing the Old Testament one continu-
ally meets with types and symbols,
The circumcision itself was type or
a symbol named by the Almighty to
commemorate the covenant which He
had formed with Abraham. The
loaves of Precipitation served as "a
memorial of the oblation of the
Lord"
Symbol of the Fish.
Perhaps, the most important of the
symbols in use among the early Chris
tians was the fish. Clement of Alex
andria who flourished the latter half
of the second century commended his
disciples to have their seals en-
graved with dove or fish. He does
not, in his writings, give any reason
for this direction, from which it has
been concluded that the meaning of
each symbol was so we'll known to
the Christians of his day as to need
no explanation. Monuments which
antedate the age of Clement of Alex
andria are found adorned with the
symbolic fish. In the catacomb of ST.
