FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION
A Holy Day of Obligation in the
 Church of Rome.

The feast of the Assumption, a holy day of obligation in the Roman Cath Olic churches, was observed Tuesday. This is the day in which the waters are traditiOnally said to possess cer- tain curative powers for those who bathe in them. Inland residents come from long distances to bathe in salt water this day. if no other in the year, and many of the shore resorts can be likened to nothing more than shrines, like the famous Lourdes in France, where those bodily afflicted go into the water that they may be cured.
 The most devout Catholics deny that there is any basis for the belief that the waters on Lady Day." possess any particular remedial qualities, and several priests have been known to advise their focks that this is a mere superstition, indulged in largely to benefit trade Others subscribe to the tradition, which has it's foundation no one knows where. At any event it has no basis in the church's liturgy or dogma, but seems to have it's founda- tion in custom indulged in by the Catholics of Ireland, who went to the sea at least on this day in the year, in the belief that their ills would be cured. There may be a physiological reason in the fact that the waters change generally in temperature after today.

TORPEDO CATCHER IN
 NEW LONDON -HARBoR.
Queer Looking Craft Makes Stop in Lower Harbor En Route to Newport.

Speculation was rife as to the nature of a strange looking object which was lowed into the lower harbOr at New London Saturday afternoon and an chOred of PequOt light. Numerous craft ran alongside to make a closer inSpec- ton and obtain information, but none was forthcoming.
 Investigation led to the discovery of the real facts pertaining to this un- usual device, which was mounted on a raft about 30 feet square. It was found to be a recently patented torpe- do catcher which was on it's way to the torpedo station at Newport, where an official test is to be made.
 The torpedo catcher is the inven- ton of Fred LePan of Milford and is said to be the only successful one of it's kind in existence. Its use by the United States government, which is considered probable, is predicted to be the means of saving many torpedOes 3. year during practice and to furnish absolute protection to all ships using it from damage by torpedoes which may be fired at their huIls. The present drag cables in use for the ,pur- pose are regarded as inefficient, catch ing, it is claimed, only a small per cent. of the total number of torpedOes fired. This latest invention is stated to be 95 per cent. efficient.
 The catcher is an arrangement of half-inch cables in net form on an L-shaped sliding steel frame and is hung from the ships sides at a dis tance of about 20 feet out, protecting the vessel from the Waterline down.
