RECORD OF PAGANS IGNORED
Christian Saint as ths Per sonal Ideal,

The transition from pagan to medic val thinking Is marked by the intro duction of Christian ideals and the ascendancy of the organized church, asserts a writer in the Engineering Magazine. The Roman citizen, ani- mated by the sense of human dig nifty, had cultivated a quick assertion of rights and quick resentment of wrongs. The Christian priest, humiI- lated by a sense of sin, now sounded the depths of self-sacriflce and bodily modification. The hordes of barba- rian invaders who exterminated tho niartially inclined Romans ignored the humble early Christian bishops, and permitted them to possess them. selves of the administrative plan of the fallen empire, and organize their church upon it.
 Learning also fell into the hands of the church, so that soon the story of ancient virtue was real only in monasteries where. viewed as the rec ord of pagans. 1t fell coldly upon minds filled with the doctrine of human depravity, and cramped into a barren dialectic by the limits which religious dogma imposed. And so, within the precincts of the church, in the her mit's retreat and in protected monas- teries and nunneries, the image of the pagan hero faded into the back ground and that of the Christian saint was installed as the personal ideal.

It Is a fact that the great emperor of the French had very poor opinion of Shakespeare's plays.

has been invented by John Hays
Hammond, Jr., according to state
ment made by the inventor. The new
missile may soon appear in the Euro

nations are now negotiating for its
purchase, he said. The United States
Government at present is conducting
experiments with the new projectile at
Sandy Hook, he added.
The missile is designed for use in
siege guns as an aid in destroying
towns and dirigible balloons.
Mr.. Hammond explained that the
projectile carries an aluminothermic
mixture which. five seconds after the
projectile is discharged, turns the
steel inside to n white-hot mixture at
a temperature of 5400 degrees Fahren-
heit.

are deadly.

NEW RUSSIAN FRONT is OF
STRATEGIC VALUE IN EAST

London, Dec %. $3.50 a. m.-The
Petrograd correspondent OF the Daily
Mail explaining the new position of
the Russian front, says:
"It would be childish to pretend that
the Russian occupation of this line is
altogether voluntary. At the same
time there is no doubt that it is strate-
previous line. When the whole thea
ter of the war is taken into considera-
ton it also will be perceived that the
general design of the Russians is far
from being adversely affected by the
change of front"
