SIEGES OF PARIS

The first siege of Paris was in S45, when the city was attacked by the Normans and was soon captured and ravaged by them. Three times in the ninth century the French capital was taken by Normans and Danes. In SS5 it was gallantly defended by Count Budes and Bishop Goslin. During this troubled period the people suffered terribly from famine. In 1420 Paris was besieged and taken by the Eng fish, and it was not until sixteen years had passed that the French regained
 possession. In 15S9 Henry " vainly .beAieged Paris, but five years later he
 entered the city. In 1874 the English and German allies took Paris. The City of Light was again invested by an enemy on Sept. 19, 1870, just forty six years ago today. The siege carried on by the Germans continued 131 days before the gallant defenders finally yielded to the inevitable. During that period the population of the city was reduced to the very verge of starva-

Faith Chapel Pastor ], Has Received Call
 to Willimantic Church

Fer tho fast four weeks the people of the Breoklawn district, especially those wh1 have been iii close touch With the Rev. E. D. Akers and his work at Faith, chapel for the last two years. have been awaatingihfs de- cisfon as to whether he would cons tfnue his work at Faith chapel or accept an offer to be associate pastor of the Wflhmantic Congregational church.

Mr>1 Akers would have been a fine man for such a position, as for the last two years he has improved Faith chapel greatly. first by adding a tower and belfry.

Neapolitans Celebrate
 Festival of Januarius

Many Italians in this country who hail from Naples or its vicinity will join today, at least in spirit, in cele- brating the festival of St. Januarius, the patron saint of Naples. In the teeming metropolis of southern Italy the feast is generally observed. Greatest interest centers in the cathe- dral, where an immense congregation always gathers on the nineteenth of September to witness the miracle of the nquefaction of the blood of the saint, which is publicly exposed in vessel.
 St. Januarius was an early bishop of the church, who was put to death on Sept 19, 3O5. According to tradi- tion, Januarius and six companions were first given up to wild beasts; but, the animals refusing to harm them, they were beheaded. The relics of the saint were removed to Naples about 400, and his body is supposed to be still preserved in a chapel of the cathedral A dramatically sealed vial containing hard substance said to be the blood of the saint, and glass case containing his head, are kept in another chapel. and the blood is exposed to public view on the fes- tival of St. Januarius on Sept 18th, and also on the anniversary of the translation of his relics in May. When the head is brought near the vial the blood is seen to become liquid, to bubble, rise in the bottle, and fall again-the alleged miracle sometimes lasting several days. The nature of this phenomenon has been investigat- ed by scientific men of various creeds and nations, and several hypotheses have been suggested to account for it. The Catholic Neapolitans reject with scorn all such scientific explana- tions, and regard it as well attested miracle. ~
 Just how long this semi-annual liquefaction of the blood of St. Janu- arius has been noted cannot be said, but it was mentioned by Pope Plus IT. in 1450, and Catholic writers de- clare that the miracle dates from the fifth century. Several years ago a scientific man of France sought permission to subject the miracle to scientific control, but Cardinal Pris- co, the Archbishop of Naples. refused to give his consent He declared, however, that he would yield if the Pope considered such an experiment advisable. Pieus x. declared that he neither could nor wouldN override the Naples churchmen, adding that the miracle had been we'll attested by sci- entific men of Naples, "afid any fresh permission for controlling those ex- periments would be tantamount to throwing doubt and distrpst upon the good faith and ability of the NeapOli- tan scientists.''
 Two years ago today the blood of St. Januartus began to bubble as the priests reached this passage in the Litany: From plague, famine and war deliver us, o Lord" This was accepted by Neapolitans as an indica- ton that Italy would not be drawn into the war, but their interpretation did not prove correct, for within less than year Italy entered the arena.

J. Fiala's youth was commonplace and prosaic. He was educated at Cooper Union and the National Academy of Design in New York, and began business life as a lithographic designer. In 1890 he became a newspaper artist and car toonist, and began the study of photo engraving and photogravure pro- cesses. In 1894 he was employed by the Brooklyn Eagle to install its photo-engraving plant, and was plac- ed in charge of that papers art de- partment.
 Fiala's first experience of adven- turing came in 1898, when he was a trooper with regiment of New York volunteer cavalrymen in the Spanish American war. also acting as war correspondent for the Brooklyn Eagle In 1901 he was employed as photo grapher on the Baldwin, -Ziegler polar expedition, led by Evelyn Briggs Baldwin, which proceeded by way of Franz Josef Land, where supply de- pots were established as the basis for a proposed dash to the Pole. The ex- petition was failure, but upon it's return MT. Ziegler immediately fi- nanced another expedition. and young Fiala was appointed it's leader. Fiala's attempt to reach the Pole began in 1903, but after enduring many hard ships and making many determined efforts to accomplish the object of his mission, he, too, had to return and report failure.
 Capt. Fiala again came into promi- hence as the leader of one of the Roosevelt expeditions into the Brazi- Han wilds. On that occasion Capt.
 Fia1a praised his chief highly, de- claring that Col Roosevelt displayed Remarkable endurance. One instance he cited was this:
 '"The party started out early in the
 morning and with nothing but coffee in their stomachs they pushed their way through swamps filled with cro- codi1es and snakes in pursuit of a tiger cat they had scared up. The
 Brazilians did the best they could,
 and with the negro boys kept up for
 several hours, but the pace set by Col. Roosevelt was too much for them. Late that night boy return
 ed to the camp and said that the Co., lonel and Kermit were about two
 miles off in the jungle. When they finally did come out their clothing was torn to shreds, and their arms and legs were bleeding in many places. But they were carrying the
 guns of the Brazilians. The latter had quit and were lying in dry place recuDerating"
