Men of Science

Men of science form, as 1t were, an
organized army, lanoring on behalf of
the whole nation, and generally under
its direction, and at it's expense, to
augment the stock Of such knowledge
as may serve 70 promote Industrial
enterprise, to increase wealth, to adorn
life, to improve political and social re-
lations and to further the moral devel-
opment Of individual citizens. After
the immediate practical results of
their work we forbear to inquire; that
we leave to the instructed. We are
convinced that whatever contributes
to the knowledge of the forces of ma
ture or the powers of the human mind
Is worth cherishing. and may, In its
own due time. bear practical fruit, very
often where we should least have ex-
pected it.-Helmholtz.

Antiquity OF Low Visibility"

"In the sighting with the armada)
on the I'D of July Q5SS) the Span
iards' shots flew, for the most part,
over the heads of the English, with
out doing execution. The reason "t
this was that the English ships being
far less than the enemy's. made the
attack with more quicknesS and agll-
ity; and when they had given broad
side they presently sheered off to
convenient distance and leveled their
shot so directly AT the bigger and more
unwicldly ships of the SpaniardS as
seldom TO miss their aim. Their ships
far exceeded ours in number and bulk
and were much stronger and higher
built, and we presented not so great
target for their fire. His

Nitrouen.

One Of natures methods of fixing
nitrogen is. familiar to everyone, hut
does not seem to have suggested itself
to chemists as one to be initiated.
When water trickles through the
earth In which there Is much organic
matter and oozes out through the NOR
tar OF wall, the wall becomes in
crusted with pure inter, or saltpeter.
What has happened is this: The water
has dissolved much Of the potassium
in the soil and picked up millions Of
the nitrifying bacteria in the earth
and carried them through the mortar,
In which there is much lime. The
potassium deposited on the wall is
exposed to the air and the nitrifying
bacteria begin to draw from this the
nitrogen which combines with the
potassium to make inter.

We are happy to announce that the
Board of Church Extension has agreed
to give us the amount we applied for
100000 on condition that We put not
less than $4,000 in the church build
ing exclusive of cost of land. They
have also agreed to give this amount
in proportion as the church gathers its
part.
At a special meeting of the New
Church Commission, held Monday
evening, it was decided TO begin the
building as soon as $4,000 more was
secured. A campaign to secure this
amount was mapped out, and Nov. 10,
1916, was decided upon as the limit
in which to raise the money. We are
asking each subscriber to pay as much
of his subscription as he can before
that date Several have already agreed
to pay their pledges in full before
that time The church, when COM
pleted. will be one of the most modern
and up-tO-date churches in the city.
Next Sunday has been set apart by
the National Reform Association as
day OF prayer for public schools in
America. The IL o'clock service will
be devoted to this important subject.

Harry's Suggestion.

Harry had been sleeping alone for
nearly a week, which was new stunt
for him. One night ii storm came up.
and the wind blew, shaking the doors
and windows. This woke Harry, and
he was much frightened and thought
of nothing except screaming for his
mother. His mother heard his cries
and lay down with him. She turned
her back to him. thinking she might
get some sleep. Suddenly she heard
frightened whisper: Mother, If ] was

slumbers with his mouth open at times.
The other night he awoke with a
start and gurgle in his throat. His
wife. too. had been disturbed, although
not enough to awaken her. so it was

The rector spent Wednesday at Gulf
port, the guest of Rev. w. S. Slack,
who is now on a few weeks vacation
at Hotel Glad Oak. The Rev. Mr..
Slack came to the city Wednesday
evening, and is now the guest at
Mount Olivet rectory for a few days.

Visitors.

The Holy Name rectory was a busy
place for the last few days, the JEFF
ferson College professors returning
from their Northern vacations stopped
in Algiers as the guests of Very Rev
Father Larkin, S. NJ. They enjoyed
themselves, as Father Larkin is al
ways glad to see the younger men
around, and likes nothing better than
to give them a good time.
Vacation is somewhat of a misno-
mer for these men, for far from being
free to rest, they replace other men
in parish work in some Northern
town. However, they are energetic
and full of life and work does not
scare them, and besides they are glad
TO get away from the heat of the sum-
mer.
Fathers Daigneau. McGrath, Quinn,
Walls and Dougherty and NJ. J. Lar
kin returned to jefferson College
Wednesday with the boys.
Father Dougherty of the old guard
was the last one to put in an appear
ance, coming in Wednesday morning.
Many important changes have been
made at the College. Father Seller,
who last year acted as treasurer, has
been transferred to the cold regions
of Maine. He will take up his duties
as Project of Discipline of St. Mary's
College. Van Buren,, Me. Father OFT,
who for several years has been chap
lain of st. MichaeIs Convent, goes
to Brunswick, Ga. On the other hand,
the colleges will have the services of
Rev. Father T. Roeser, S. NJ, of All
Hallows College, Salt Lake, Utah.
Father Roeser is a scientist of the
highest order. He was a recognized
authority throughout the West. His
specially Is minerology. He excels in
this, and was consulted on all impor-
studies. He will be a great addition
to the faculty of the college. This
institution was very fortunate in Sc.
curing him, for several other places
were bidding for his services. -.
Rev. Paul Reitch, s. NJ, of Bruins
wick, Ca, comes to Jefferson College
as the professor of Spanish. He be-
came proficient in this language during
his stay in Mexico a few years ago.
With these new men and the old
reliables of several years experience
Jefferson has a faculty the equal of
any institution.
The prospects for the coming year
are most encouraging. The majority
of last years students are returning
and many new ones have sent in their
applications. About 200 met the
fathers at the afternoon train Wednes-
day. Among them was Emmett Ma
honey, son Of Judge Mahoney. Mr.
Mahoney in sending his boy to Jeffer,
son took the very sensible view that
boarding schol away from the many
attractions of city life is the proper
place for boys of Emmet's age. In
such place the very atmosphp
seems to be saturated with knowledge,
and to study Is the order Of the
This seems to produce the desired
effect, for this year Jefferson Col
lege has the distinction of having its
graduated accepted by the State to
teach in the public schools, without
having to pass any examinations.
This proves the high efficiency of this
old seat Of learning.
1t seems strange that Algiers does
not send more students there. Alvin
