Catholic Colleges in China.-The
definitely official recognition promised
by the Chinese Republic to Catholic
schools has greatly gratified all the
Catholic Missionaries, who thus see
their work guaranteed independent
control. The Normal School of the
Marist Brothers of Chala, near Pek-

to receive this recognition.
Disturbances in China.-Students
are still turbulent in China, the ex-
element regarding Japan and Japan

the military governor is taking hold

of considerable firmness will doubtless
soon restore order.

Scottish EarIdom in Catholic Hands.
BY the death of the Earl of Loudoun,
which has just taken place, the Scot
fish Earldom of Loudoun passes into
Catholic hands. This is one Of the
few cities in which the succession may
pass by female descent, and the new
holder of the title is the Countess of
Loudoun, whose husband, by the way
remains a cOmmoner. The LOudOun
Earldom was founded in 1888. In ad
dition to being Countess of Loudoun
the new peeress is also Baroness Bot
reaux 1850, Molines, Hungerford,
and Hastings. Besides the Countess
of Loudoun there are among the Cath
Ollie peeresses, four who hold their
titles in their own right, and not by
marriage. These are the Baroness
Beaumont, whose title dates from
1909; the Baroness Furnivall, title ere
ated in 1895; the Duchess of Norfolk,
who is Baroness Herries in her own
right; and the Baroness Wentworth,
daughter of Mr. Wilfriend ScaWen
Blunt, well known poet and traveller.

Heath, where Rev. James O'Coigley
was executed after the Irish troubles
in 1898. AT the expense of the United

"Appjan Way" Was Ancient
Rome's Main Thoroughfare
and Fashionable Promenade

The Broadway of ancient Rome was
In its time not less famous than the
principal thoroughfare Of New York.
II was called the "Appian Way" and
along II flowed all that was most in
teresting and picturesque in the life
Of the imperial city. Thronged by
chariots and the vehicles Of fashion, IT
was the favorite promenade Of the
idle rich. Over its smooth pavement
successful generals, to whom had been
granted the proud privilege Of a tri-
nmph, led their returning armies, with
hosts of unhappy prisoners Of war.
The Via Appia, however, was much
more than a city street. 1t was the
metropolitan terminus Of one Of the
great Roman military roads. Begun In
312 b. c., It ran through one Of the
great city gates outward to Lower
Italy-to Capua, Tartentum and
beyond. One mile beyond the gate
was the magnificent Temple Of Mars.
Along the thoroughfare today are
ruins of once beautiful buildings that
resemble those of Northern France
and Belgium. And no wonder, mas
much as their destruction was wrought
by barbarians who were the ancestors
of the present day Germans. But the
great road, like others OF Roman ori-
gin, extending over most of Europe,
remains a wonderful monument to
bygone civilization.
