Adapting Natural Power.

With the ever-increasing supply of
electrical energy furnished by the de-
velopment of Switzerland's vast re-
sources in water power, consideration
of various electrically driven house
hold appliances is growing from year

time the use of washing machines in

electrically driven machines have been
utilized only in public laundries.

A Reverie.

wichita, Kansas, Catholic ~Standard1.
Thirty days have passed since the
news was flashed through the Diocese
of Wichita, "Bishop Hennessy is
dead" The suddenness and unex-
pectedness of the report was dsEing
in its effect. People and priests could
scarcely believe that he whom they
had seen but a short time before was
no more. Yet his residence on Col
lege Hill, now gloomy and sombre,
indicates that he who radiated sun
shine and cheer is gone. At the
chsncery they miss his witty sayings,
even his criticisms. At the Advance
office the vacant chair gives rise to
sentiments of sadness. On the streets
friends look in vain for the familiar
figure they loved and respected SO
highly. Yes, God has, indeed, called
the good Bishop to Himself. A life's
struggle of seventy-three years is
ended. A golden period of fifty years
of devoted services in the priesthood
is, completed. The responsibilities of
thirty-two years in the ~episcopate
have been taken from him. A noble
and a great bishop is at rest. ere
ceive, o Lord, Thy servant into Thy
Kingdom!"
Death cannot come
To him untimely who is fit to die;
The less of this cold world, the more
I of heaven;
The briefer life, the earlier immortal
ity.
