SACRED HEART INTENTION FOR
TANTTAPV

The general intention recommended by His Holi-
ness Pope Benedict XIV for members of the League
of the Sacred Heart during the month of January
is Devotion to the Holy Family.
In recommending the intention for January His
Holiness has in mind great need of the hour. The
nations of the world straying far from God
Everywhere we see growing spirit of discomfort
spirit Of revolution against private ownership OF
property. There is widespread disregard for the
binding ties OF marriage and for the obligations of
the marriage state
The world needs to be brought back to God AS
society has its origin in the marriage contract, is
only through the family that can look estab-
fish the reign of Christ among the nations For
this restoration of the spirit OF Christ in the Chris
tan family given model in the Holy Fam
lily of Nazareth.
When the world was stepped in idolatry and sin
Christ began the restoration of the religious spirit
by raising marriage to the dignity of Sacrament
and placing it under the threeod security of sancti
ty, unity and ndissolubility. He gave His Virgin
Mother model for the mother of the Christian
family. In St. Joseph, the protector of Jesus and
Mary, we have model for the Christian father in a
life of toll and privation. The Child Jesus stands
forth the model for love and obedience for the
children of the Christian home.
By the study of the Holy Family we shall learn
contentment sweet charity, and love for the things
Of God. We shall draw nearer to God in our family
life. With the return of the family of God the
world will come back to God.

THE KAISER'S SOL1LOGUY BEFORE THE
STATUE OF ATLAS.

In the solitude of his Dutch retreat the German
Kaiser hasn't much else to do but reflect upon the
mistakes OF his past life. Before a statuette of
Atlas carrying the earth his shoulders the quon-
dam mighty Hohenzollern may be sol1oquizing
thus:
"Ach! Atlas, have tried your trick of shoulder
ing the world. 1 braced myself for that heroic pose
with many years of military training big doses of
IRON ana gold and deep breathing of weltmacht and
shreckckkeit I thought myself invincible and all
powerful and my friends assured me it was so, and
that der tag" had for the performance of the
great feat on which you your immortal reputa-
ton had planned to give exhibition that would
make your stunt look like thirty pfennig of Prussian
money; for had intended not only to carry the
world on my back, as you did, but also give it a
swift kick in non-German part of it's surface which
would have disturbed its parallax for all eternity
With my well-mailed fist would have given such
black eyes to England, France and Italy that they
would never even dare to look at a German again
And America, would have taken no nonsense from
her-l would have, have, have-but ach! there is
the rub! /! had forgotten that when you had done
your. world -shoudering stunt America had not been
discovered already yet. Donnerwetter noch emnal!
that was my fatal mistake. Donder and bitten!
Why did that crazy Dago, Columbus go on that
tool voyage across the Atlantic before my noble
those American hell-dogs who broke all the rules of
Frederick the Great, Ludendorff and Hindenburg,
who did not know when they were licked and kept
coming on, on, and on until my invincible armies
were deprived of their defense lines, their own
property which they had built for themselves. The
robber Americans stole away these great defenses
OF my Empire which it had taken four years to
construct, in open defiance of my verboten!
Ach! Atlas, why did you not have the date of
your noble feat inscribed on your statue? Then
would have known that your heroic pose was made
before the time of the fooshness of that wander
ing Dago, Columbus, whom hate now like the
American hell-dogs.
Ach, Atlas, it is now Deutschan unter Allies

NEW IDEA IN TRANSPORTATION
From Track Merely by 1hin
Film Of Water.

Looking toward the transportation
facilities Of the future, an American
electrical experlmenter believes that
the chief means of travel will be trains
without wheels. running on single
tracks. and moving almost without
friction because they will slide on run
ners separated from the track by a
thin film of water. In short, the fact
that one plate Of glass will glide prac-
tically without friction over another
II there is thin layer of water be-
tween them will be applied and work
ed out in running a train. The
idea Of train without wheels Is sufti-
GENTLY surprising. but, according to
the writer, Frenchman had invented
such train just before the Franco
Prussian war. and the project was not
resumed afterward, although later
French inventor made some important
improvements. The advantage over
modern transportation, If snch trains
become practicable, Is prophesied as
noiselessness of operation, equal carry
ing capacity, and about twice as much
speed. The idea looks visionary; but
after all 1t Is not wise to distrust pos
sibilities for that reason.

Rock Dust to Save Miners Lives.

Perhaps the oldest, yet one Of the
most effective, means for preventing
or, at all events, minimizing-di
tiers in coal mines is the use Of rock
dust.
lot of it is placed on boards hung
by chains from the roofs of mine tun-
nels. Obviously in case Of an explos-
ion the boards will swing and the dust
will be thrown off.
Following an explosion a roaring
flame, let us say, is coming through
the tunnel. The air is filled with coal
dust Cor possibly with inflammable
gas) to feed it. But 1t meets a cur
tain of non-inflammabe rock dust (dis-
charged from the board shelves) and
is thereby stopped. Rock dust will
not burn under any provocation. Sus-
pended thickly in the air, it acts like
an asbestos curtain. The flame can
not get through it.

TO BE NEW WORLDS WONDER
japanese at Work on Statue Of st.
Nichiren, Cutting It From
the Solid Rock.

On the Isle of Cows Head in that
beautiful inland sea, which has been
called the Mediterranean of Japan, a
ledge of rock -overlooks the water, ana
here small army of Japanese work
men are busy at the first cuttings that
will eventually carve out the largest
statue in the world The Colossus OF
Rhodes, at one time one of the seven
wonders Of the world. is said to have
been 100 feet high-a small thing COM
pared with the figure of Liberty that
stands 151 feet above It's pedestal in
New York harbor-but the Japanese
statue will be Of even greater magni-
tude. Following the line Of the natu-
raj rock it will be reclining figure
24O feet long, and therefore that much
more impressive than the Buddha at
Pegu, Burma. which from head to foot
measures 1872 feet. The Isle of the
Cows head is private property, and
this Brobdingnagian adornment is
work Of private enterprise. The re-
clining figure will be that of ST. Nichi-
rem, who founded the sect of Buddhism
that bears his name. In the wooden
model the saint lies asleep. facing who
ever sees him, his head pillowed on
block. and his left arm extended
along his side; a somewhat archaic fig
ure, vet with considerable realism.
For the enormous statue that Is to be
cut out Of the solid rock from the
model the trees and greenery of the
Isle Of the Cows head will provide an
excellent setting.

Lost Arms Without Pain.

Our story of man being blown
away, unhurt, by the explosion of a
bomb which he did not hear must seem
incredible to many people. Here is
something like an analogy
King Edward once brought together
at his dinner table Rustem Pasha, who
had had half his right hand and part
Of his arm torn off by bear, and Sir
Edward Bradford, who had had his
left arm up to the elbow munched
away by tiger
The two men compared notes.
Neither had felt the least twinge of
pain at the time. They imagined that
their intense desire to save their lives
dulled all other senses. = London

Bismarck's Wine Thirst.

In his choice Of drinks Bismarck
displayed somewhat unpatriotic
spirit. Talking to Mr.. John Booth in
1879, Bismarck. confessed that when
stationed at st. Petersburg, he used to
drink two bottles of champagne day.
He estimated that altogether he had
druak 5000 bottles Of champagne and
smoked 100000 cigars.
On another occasion Bismarck DE-
clared that beer makes men stupid,
lazy and useless. It IL responsible for
the democratic nonsense spouted over
the tavern tables. A good rye whisky
u very much better"

Chilean Nitrate Needed.

In spite of the prophets Of disaster,
the war did not ruin the Chilean nj
trate industry; instead, military needs
created an unprecedented demand.
Now that this has ceased. the Chilean
pessimists are once again predicting
ruin, but Ell Industrial of Antofagasta
says there will now be greater de-
mand than ever for fertilizer and that
artificial nitrates have failed even to
rival the natural product Of Chile.
