Protects Eardrums From Conclusion

Protects Eardrums From Conclusion.
A French ear specialist, Doctor Bar
der, has devised a protection for the
eardrums of artillerymen against the
concussion Of explosion when firing
their cannon. 1t consists of a pledget
of cotton batting, loosely packed and
soaked in carbolized glycerin, this to
be inserted in the ear; and an ear
muff, loosely filled with cotton batting,
this to cover the whole ear and the
parts surrounding it. OF course, there
is one for each ear.
The loose packing of the cotton
makes it interfere only slightly with
the wearer's hearing, but prevents all
shOrk to the eardrums.

Catholic Bishop in the world, and the
other famed throughout the world as
the greatest tenor of the age. Before
the Confirmation service Bishop Cur
ley offered the Holy Sacrifice. In the
front pew knelt Cyril Mccormack,
aged ten, and his little sister, aged
eight. With them were their mother,
aunt and governess. Never before did
the congregation hear rendered as on
that occasion the simple yet beautiful
Catholic hymns: Jesus, My Lord,
My God, My ALP and Lord, 1 Am Not
Worthy" The childrens father, who
a few days before had thrilled 5000
people in the New York Hippodrome,
sang the hymns which he and the
Bishop had learned as boys in Athlone,
with an intensity of faith, feeling and
devotion that brought tears from
many worshippers. Within the sanctu-
airy knelt Cyril and his sister, to re-
caive Our Blessed Lord, she for the
first time. At the altar railing the
children's father and mother received
Holy Communion. Immediately after
Mass Bishop Curley, acting with the
permission of the Rt Rev. Bishop
Milan, of Hartford, confirmed the chill
dren. The boy took the name of Fran
els, whilst his sister chose that of
Cecilia.

The little Catholic church in the vii
lage of Noroton, Conn.,, was the scene
of very interesting ceremony on
May "a, when the children of the
famed Irish tenor, John Mccormack,
were confirmed by the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Curley, of st. Augustine, Florida.
Three decades ago the Bishop and the
great singer were children together in
the town of Athlone, Ireland. After
years spent in the school of the Mar

GEORGE G. CARLIN.

On Sunday, June II, Right Rever-
end Bishop Trobec dedicated the new
Church of the Holy Redeemer at Mar
shall, Mimi. A large number of
priests and an immense concourse OF
the laity witnessed the solemn cere-
monies The magnificent edifice,

which is built of red brick throughout
is 40 feet long by 65 feet in width
in the nave, and is 104 feet wide in
the transcripts From the main floor
to the top of the ceiling there is a
space of SO feet, the floor inclining
one and one-half feet from the vesti-
bule entrance to the sanctuary. In

The history of Catholicism in Lyon
County dates back to the early six
ties when the first Mass was said on
the banks of the Redwood river on
what is now East Main Street. In
1879, the then Bishop Ireland reserved
| five townships in the Northwestern
| part of Lyon County for Catholic set
| Elements. In the same year Rev.
| Father Tori celebrated Mass in Mar
shall, and thereafter Father Hanley
held regular services there in school
house. A new church was built in
Marshall in 1885, the first resident
pastor being Rev. H. Victor, who was
| appointed in 1890. Immediately after
| his appointment in July, 1914, Father
Carlin began work for the new
church. This beautiful edifice was
completed, and the first Mass was
said therein on December s, 1916.
