WORST STORM SINCE 1887.

Cyclone-swept Bengal is in dire dis
tress and some idea of the great wind
that recently did so much damage in
this part OF India may be gained from
clipping from The Bengalese, the
new American publication of the Holy
Cross Fathers:
Letters received from Bengal since
our last issue do not change material
ly the description of the disaster as
given in that number. 1t is charac-
lied as the greatest storm that has
visited Bengal since 1877. The latest
statistics received place the number
of inhabitants killed Or drowned at
$4,000. 10000 boats of all kinds were
smashed or sunk; in the city of Dacca
all the houses, save those built of
brick, were demolished, the COVER
nors palace among them. Hundreds
of iron telegraph posts were left lying
on the ground, most of them broken
or twisted. 1t is estimated that about
ten million pounds sterling damage
was done"

WHAT OPENING A SCHOOL.
" MEANS.

In mission countries a school does
not mean one or more class rooms,
filled with pupils for few hours each
day and then closed without further
thought of the children until the next
session. Many obligations are includ-
ed with the instruction of helpless
pagan children. AS Father Grimaldi,
M. F. NJ, of China says:
ITO open school implies the pos
session of places for study, sleep and
recreation, the ability to pay the cat
chists who work and teach, supply
ing of books and of the daily necessi.
ties of the pupils.
"All concurring to hold them close
to the missionary the young people
gradually learn the catechism and
prayers, and prepare themselves to re-
ceive the Sacraments in the right dis.
positions. Here, by constant contact
with the missionary they conceive an
affection for him as for a father, and
they become his most efficient co-lab
orers." M &

subject:
IF the missionary is called by some

"The railroad? Alas, the railroad is

SEEK GOOD TURN OPPORTUNl-
TIES.

eve don't always have to seek the
opportunity of doing a good turn"
writes Lieut.. Belvin w. Maynard, in
Boys Life Sometimes the oppor-
tunity comes and lands right in our
back yard. We only have to be ready
to act the part of real scout when
the opportunity comes. It is easy
to see how much l must have ap-
preciated these kindnesses which
meant victory to me; and let us re-
member that our good turns will be
appreciated and may mean victory to
some one else.
eve must be ready not only to do
a good turn when the opportunity
comes to us or when it comes into
our pathway, but we should seek the
opportunity. There is where the real
happiness comes. Let us not wait for
the opportunity to land on us, but let
us land on the opportunity.
"There are so many ways to do a
good turn that we should not be salts
fled with one day. Some of them
might not involve much self-sacrifice,
but still not to do them, however
small, would be unworthy. Did you
ever see a fellows hat blow off and go
rolling down the street, passing by
many who would not stOop to pick it
up for him? Did you ever watch a
woman standing in the aisle of a
street car holding a baby in her arms
when there were many men seated?
Did you ever watch a woman with
small children and luggage try to
board train unaided? Did you ever
walk along lonely road and have car
after car pass you without picking
you up? Did you ever pass an elderly
woman on the sidewalk, whose very
image was picture of want and mis-
cry, carrying more luggage than a
man ought to carry?"

THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR.
WASHINGTON AND HIS RATCHET.

WASHINGTON AND HIS RATCHET.
He had hatchet-Httle George
A Ratchet bright and new;
And sharp enough to cut "a stick
A little stick in two. H.
He hacked and whacked and whacked
and hacked,
This sturdy little man;
He hacked a log and hacked a fence
AS round about he ran.
He hacked his fathers cherry tree,
And made an ugly spot;
The bark was soft, the Ratchet sharp,
And little George forgot.
You know the rest the father
frowned,
And asked the reason why;
You know the good old story runs:
He could not tell a lie.
The boy that chopped that cherry tree
Soon grew to be a youth;
At works and books he hacked away
And still he told the truth.
The youth became a famous man,
Above six feet in height;
And when he had good work to do
He hacked with all his might.
He fought the armies that the King
Had sent across the sea;
He battIed up and down the land
To set his country free.
For seven long years he hacked and
whacked
With all his might and main;
Until the British sailed away,
And did not come again.

FRANKLIN AND THE LIGHTNING
.... ROD.

Benjamin Franklin was distinguish
life long eager for knowledge. He
looked carefully into all subjects that
came to his notice. This habit of
mind won for him the name of the
many-sided Franklin.
People in the eighteenth century
knew very little about electricity.
Franklin was charmed by this great
agcrt of nature and gave much time
to, the study of it, After consider
able thought, he arrived at the opin-
ion that electricity and lightning are
one and the same force.
No sooner had Franklin reached
this conclusion than he determined
to benefit his fellow men by it. For
there was no quality in Franklin
more prominent than his habit OF
looking on the practical side OF
things. It almost Immediately sug,
gested itself to him that he could draw
lightning by the use OF pointed rods
These he made Iong enough to rise
above the top efsthef house, and de
scend some feet into the ground. He
thought that by this means the light
ming in the clouds might be conducted
into the ground without injury to the
building. He knew that such rods
would draw the electricity and pre-
vent it from doing any harm
The problem before him was tc
prove that electricity and lightning
are the same In order to prove his
point, Franklin planned to erect or
some high tower a sentry box from
which should rise a pointed iron rod
Clouds full of lightning would impair
to this the power which they con
tanned, and by a certain arrange
ment it could be found out if the rot
carried away the current.

Franklin lived, contained no shigl
tower, and it occurred to this ingen
ious philosopher that he might draw
lightning from the clouds by mean:

A PROTESTANT WRITER ON MON
ASTICISM.

If there be many High Church Epis-
ed so eloquently by Ralph Adams
Cram in his slender volume entitled
Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh," then
we can confidently look to the future
for frequent conversions from that
Romeward movement. How soundly he
depicts the Catholic ideal in the fol-
lowing thoughtful passages:
THE ideal of the true monk is fur
thest from the spirit of today-or
rather of yesterday. There is no to-
day, but only an interlude OF anarchy,
and the monk is therefore more es-
Sential at this crisis than the friar or
the canon regular, however imperative
may be the demand for both, and the
demand is insistent and clamorous,
The friar and the canon regular are
the workers of visible things, and a
world of efficiency and the strenuous
life, whose gospel is get results, can
measurably understand them. The
monk, clustered, shut away from &C
tive contact with the world, living a
life of rigid abstinence, praying, praiS
ing God and giving himself over tC
intercession, alteration and worship, is
to the world unthinkable, but it is al
times like this that the world needs
Him most. Action-feverish, insistent
universal-has built up a world that
has failed, and out of that failure viii
come the consciousness that the real
things of life are Of the spirit, not OF
the flesh, not of man but of God
Great and glorious works have come
from the labors of men, whether they
were religious or seculars or laymen
but the greatest things came, not from
their physical action, but from their
spiritual energy; and though with
their hands they have built up great
fabrics of civilization and given them
life through the energy of ordered
intellects, the soul of these civiliza
tions came as the gift of God, through
His saints, and because of the prayers

ceIebiant and the congregation may
have breathing space. Such a condi-
ton of things is not favorable to con-
versions in country like Denmark,
and we should have a modest but
comfortable chapel.
1T is impossible for the missionaries
to get the money for this in Denmark.
Our Catholics, though fervent, are
very poor and can give nothing toward
building the place of worship they
need so much. Therefore plea is
sent forth that these poor people,
through whom the seed of the ancient
Faith is trying to terminate and bear
fruit again, may be the recipient of
aims and prayers.

THE BITE THAT FAILED.

AS a rule the relations between
Russians and Japanese. soldiers in ST.
IBERIA have been friendly enough. But
at town on the Transiberian rail
way, which had just been freed from
the foul tyranny of bolshevist rule, a
Japanese soldier hailed a big, staring
moujik into the presence of his com
manding officer. What has he been
doing?' asked the colonel. Il gave
him a cigarette" said the soldier, land
then he tried to bite mel" kissing,
even between members Of the oppo-
site sexes, is not a Japanese custom.

ing two cross sticks to a silk hand
kerchief. To the upright stick he
fastened an iron point. He then
placed key at the lower end of the
string of the kite.
With this apparatus he went olt on
the common during a thunder storm,
and raised the kite. Several thunder
clouds passed. Franklin began to feel
that, after all, his reasoning was not
correct. At last, he observed that his
string was becoming Stiff He touched
the key and received a slight shock.
BY later experiments he succeeded
in proving that the current he drew
from the clouds and electricity are one
and the same thing. Thus, for the
first time, man discovered the secret
of the nature of lightning.

airy and had cost much good money
