To Promote Biblical Studies
Three entirely modern institutes have
been established in Rome by the Holy
See, to promote biblical studies. They
are: /. The Biblical Commission
founded by Leo XIII to give Catholics
guidance in studying the many COM
pick scriptural problems, and to- exam
inc candidates for degrees in Sacred.
Scripture; 2. The Biblical Institute,
with professors and students from all
parts of the world; 3. The Vulgate
Commission which is to give the most
perfect scriptural text that human
care and knowledge can supply.
st. Austin's Abbey.-Recent excava-
tions at st. Austin's Abbey at Canter-
bury, England, have resulted in re-
markable discoveries. A layer of
earth was removed disclosing what is
assumed to be the remains of work
begun by Abbot Wilfric in 1856. There
now may actually be seen the despoil-
ed tombs of Archbishops Laurence,
Mellitus and Justus and part of what
may be the altar of st. Gregory.
There is also visible the grave in
which the body of st. Mildred was
laid by Wilfric. The discovery goes
straight to the beginning of the Eng.
lish church.
i Author Enters Church.-Mr Comp.
ton Mackenzie, the well-known Eng.
lish author, whose Carnival,
youths Encounter" and a recent
novel, Sinister Street." have placed
him, in the opinion of many critics
among the foremost of the younger
writer's, has been received into the
Catholic Church at Venice. Perhaps
Mr.. Mackenzie's step indicates the be
ginning of movement among Eng
lish authors similar to the one that
has taken place among French littera
teurs.

Telegram. Judge Wade, in federal court,
today closed another chapter in the long
litigation between the city of Des Moines
and the Des Moines Water company,
when he denied the city's application for
a hearing TO fix the valuation Of i'm

under a condemnation Jury. The court
said 1t was no certainty at this time that
the city will ever take over the property

at the time, would be of no avail
The granting of the application would
in no manner expedite the settlement Of
the controversy.
