TWO O BROKEN.

BALLOON FLIGHT
PROVE CERTAIN
THEORIES OF AIR

Toronto. Ont, Jan. THE flight
of the American naval balloon from
Rockaway, N. Y, to JAMES Bay. IL
lustrates the remarkable accuracy
with which meteorologists car follow
the course of air currents. said Sir
Frederick Stupart. director Of the
government observatory here today.
He called attention to the fact that
on December %. he forwarded a
chart to Ottawa which showed that if
the missing balloon was travelling at
a height of $500 feet; its line Of
fight would cross James Bay. slightly
east of Moose Factory where they
landed on December IA. This fore
cast of direction proved accurate to
within a few miles
The discrepancy between the time
estimated by Sir Frederick and the
actual hour of landing is accounted
for by him by the fact that apparent
ly the balloon did, not travel at the
Hypothetical height of 1900. The
velocity of air currents differs very
greatly at varying attitudes, he ex-
planned.
Sir Frederick said the meteorological
bureau here had received letters from
Niagara Falls and other towns hun
dreds ,of miles westward reporting
that the balloon had been sighted.

already talking about doing a come

Now is the time to nip Johnson's plans
in the bud. The boxing game is bet

fighting hard for existence as it is.
johnson proved himself a disgrace
to sport in general and boxing in par

sport world bestowed upon him when
he won the title from Jim Jeffries.
He abused privileges which the for
tunes the American public gave him.
He showed an. utter disrespect for
civil and social laws.

MANY MORE ATHEISTS
RELIGIOUS LOSSES IN GERMANY
VAST INCREASE IN ATHE-
ISM.

A recent number of Reformation, a
German Protestant review, publishes
some extremely interesting statistics
concerning the decrease in the num-
Der of communicates since the war.
During the very first years of the war,
the number of communicates rose to
100000 in Prussia, $4,000 in Bavaria,
100000 in Saxony, $4,000 in Wuertem-
berg, but since then it has declined
rapidly, until now it has fallen from
Sc per cent of the Protestant popula-
ton to rs per cent in Prussia; in Ba.
varia from 81 per cent to 81 per cent;
in Baden from AZ per cent to 40 per
cent. These last figures were for the
year 1918 and have decreased still
more in the last three years.
The number of church members who
have become atheists is also startling.
In 1908, 1851 persons became athe-
lists and left the church. This mum
Der has increased steadily, and in 1919
reports showed that it had reached

Grand Forks: Robert Hughes was
elected to the Office of Grand Knight
of Grand Forks Council, Knights of Co

held Monday evening, September II.
Mr.. Hughes succeeds Moses Norman
who has resigned after giving Grand
Forks Council one of the best bust
ness administrations in it's history dur
ing the two years that he has held Of
fee.
Among the accomplishments during
the Norman regime that stand out to
the aggressiveness of the past grand
knight are, the Widows and Orphans
Fund. This is a funeral benefit fund
that was worked out by COMMITTEES
appointed by Mr.. Norman. The com
mittee consisted of M. J. Cotton, J. E..
Driscoll and John E. Nuss. The pur-
pose of the fund is to place in the
widows or orphans hands Immediate
ly after the death of deceased sum
of about three hundred dollars which
will be used to liquidate funeral obli
cations. A member pays two dollars
and twenty cents as an initial fee and
one dollar and ten cents on the death
of member The fund has been in
operation over a year now and only
one death has occurred.
Another accomplishment that Grand
Knight NJ Norman has made possible
was a Catholic library at the Academy
of St. James. Mr.. Norman, together
with a number of men interested in
the academy, succeeded in getting
Grand Forks council to establish first
class reference library at the academy.
From time to time books by leading
Catholic authors are placed in this Ii
brary to which all Catholics in Grand
Forks council territory have access.
The other officers are: Deputy
Grand knight, George A. Noonan;
Chancellor Francis ]. Webb; Treasur,
er, William V. O'Connor; Joseph Maho-
valid, Trustee; E. Willard Sullivan,

BEAUTIFUL BELFAST
FIGURES SHOW WONDERFUL
STATE OF IGNORANCE.

Returns recently published cast a
curious sidelight upon education in
Belfast, the stronghold of Orangeism
OF the 1900 young people who leave
school in Belfast annually and seek
employment, only Is per cent receive a
decent education; and of these boys
and girls 5000 were totally untitled
educationally for skilled employment
1t is stated that nearly all the S..
100000 damage caused in the city dur
ing last years riots when the houses
of hundreds of Catholics were burn
edl, was the work of young people be
tween ID and Is years of age.
It is. these ignorant youths and
young ignorant adults whom William
Coote, the Orange Member of Parlia
ment, and men like him. are urging
to be more aggressive.
