Greatest Achievement
SECRETARY McADoO'S THANKS
TO THE PUBLIC.

"The great success of the Fourth
Loan is new and convincing evidence
Of the determined spirit of America to
carry on the war until freedom is as
sured throughout the world. But even
with. the highest purpose and patriot
ism on the part of the people this
great result could not have been
achieved without intelligent direction
and organization. l wish to thank
the Liberty Loan committees, both
men and women, the bankers and busi-
ness men, farmers, wage earners, rail
road officers and employees, and every
group of citizens who have so ably
and enthusiastically co-operated with
the treasury in conducting the cam
paign. To the press OF the country
especial credit is due for emphasiz-
ing through their news columns and
editorial pages the necessity for max
ing this great loan successful.
''The American people have consum-
mated the greatest financial achieve
ment in all history.

A ROYAL BEQUEST
PICTURESQUE PIONEER LEAVES
100000 FOR CHURCH IN CHI
CAGO.

Although his income was estimated
at 100000 year, the identity OF
Thomas Feigh, 92, picturesque Amer.
ican pioneer who died at his modest
home. in Chicago on Saturday, did not
become known until Tuesday.
Mr.. Feigh was born in Ireland and
came to America as a cripple when
he was 16 years old. He hired from
tiersman to carry him on his back 20O
miles overland from Appleton, Wis.
in Dubuque, where he made a fortune
in the great Mass mine
Later he went to Nebraska and
homesteaded claim to land on which
the city of Lincoln now stands. He
later located four mines in the Lake
Superior region, which, it is said, paid
him an income of 100000 year.
One hundred thousand dollars to be
used in the construction of a Catholic
Church, to be known as ST. Thomas
Church, is bequeathed in his will
The value of the estate of Mr. Feigl
is not given. After disposing of small
items of personal property Mr.. Feigl
directed in his will that the remainder
of his estate should be held in trus
for the benefit Of thirty-three nieces
! and 3nepheWs,

Noted Astronomer Dead
VENERABLE PRIEST WHO SET.
TIED AGE OF PYRAMIDS
PASSES AWAY.

Rev. Ferdinand Guicheteau, S. P. NJ,
aged eighty, of the Church of st. Vim
cent de Paul i'll New York, died recent
Iy at the French Hospital in that city.
He had been i'll for several months,
the first serious sickness he had ever
experienced in his long life.
Father Guicheteau bore an inter
national reputation as a scientist, par
ticularly in the field of astronomy.
Two of his greatest achievements were
accomplished in 1909. In that year he
performed the FOucault experiment in
the great rotunda of Our Lady of
Lourdes Church, Brooklyn, the expert
ment proving to a mathematical nice
ty the hourly movement of the earth
on it's axis in relation to the latitude
of New York. 1t was the. first time
the experiment was made in this coun-
try.
Also in that same year it was re-
served for him to settle for all time
the mooted question of the age of the
great pyramids of Egypt. Father
Guicheteau's computation was based
on the position of the polar star, and
after most elaborate and intricate cal
culations he showed that the pyramids
we're built approximately in the year
$500 before the birth of Christ. How
ever, with the aid of his wonderful
telescope, which he constructed him.
self and which is in place on the roof
of the rectory of st. Vincent de Paul,
he figured out the problem still more
carefully by trigonometry-a most
arduOus task-which meant long burn
ings of the midnight oil" Moreover,
to satisfy himself that no error had
crept into his work, the priest-astrono-
mer repeated all his work twice, each
time arriving at the same figures, as
We'll as at the same conclusion, viz,
that the pyramids were built in the
year 1924 B. c.; and scientists gener-
ally have expressed the opinion that
the date arrived at by Father Guiche-
teau represents the actual date of the
building Of the pyramids, and they
have asserted that his astronomical
solution of the world problem seems
well-nigh indisputabIe.
The venerable priest also brought
to light several unknown variable stars
and he has added in other ways to
the sum total of the worlds knowledge
of the armament.
