New Bishop Of Ponce Expected
This Month With Bishop Caruana,
who is Returning From Rome

The division Of the Catholic Diocese of
Porto REQ into the tV 0 separate diocese
OF San Juan and Ponce was definitely ef-
tected on Monday by the conservation of
EDWIN Byrne as Bishop of the Ponce
See. The ceremony took place in tie
Cathedral Of St. Peter and st. Paul in
philadelphia, Cardinal Daugherty o%ficiat-
ing.
Bishop Bryne was former vicar Qener-
al OF Jarro, Philippine Islands. lie is
"a years OF age, and is one of the Gun
est bishops in the church.
Definite information regarding the
date when Bishop Byrne will take up his
new office could not be secured from the
clerical representatives here. They are
awaiting a letter from Bishop Caruana
who is at present in Rome. However.
the original plan was for Bishop Byrre
to join Bishop Caruana in New York in
December when the Iattef returns from
Rome. Then the two will travel to San
Juan together.
The cause for the Lewiston of the Do
cese OF Porto Rico, which is the oldest
diocese in America, was due to the IN
crease in population and Church activities
which made it impossible for one man to
handle.
All of the church property in the is
land is now vested in the Bishop of
Porto Rico. Bishop Caruana went to
Rome to consult regarding the division of
the island into two dioceses and discuss
details of the transfer of property in he
new diocese to the Bishop of Ponce.
Geographically the new diocese will take
in more than half Of the island inc ul.
ing Ponce, Mayagutz, Arecjbo and Aqua
dilla as well as the southern towns Of
the island. Porto Rico Progress.

TlHOSE who feel the need Of
u proving" If not for them

istence of God, or Providence"
used to lean heavily upon he
argument from design" But this
argument has now fallen so far
into deseutude that one does not
hear it employed even with refer
epce to the wonderfully specialized
organsA OF the inhabitants Of the
deep sea.
If we put 1.-The Creator" out Of
nature we make nature it's own

as design" say some; things are
as they are. and that's all. If
they fit together what's the won

would have to fit or they couldn't
exist.
Without pronouncing any opin-
ion on that. suppose we look at
the facts themselves. We are
promised a great increase in our
knowledge Of these astonishing
facts as q result of the explora-
ton of the life-teeming seas which
the United States navy is about
to undertake; 80 1t will be inter

In advance.
In the world of the deep sea,
far below the range of sunlight,
where~the pressure of the circum-
ambient fluid may rise to thou
sands OF pounds per square inch,
where everything Is buried In pure,
silent blackness, live countless
millions of strange creatures,
which, according to prevailing
theories, have been selfdeVeloped
in accord with their surroundings.

but means Of producing light in
order that those organs may have
the wherewith to function! Could
anything be more amazing?
1t is not difficult to follow the
argument Of evolution which
shows how in the upper world of
sunshine the protoplasm OF
primal creatures, responding to
the impact of the light waves,
put sforth nerve buds that devel-

in sunlight from their birth might
well feel an organic yearning for
the sense of sight so strong as
to shape their development.

ORIGIN OF r. r.
TIME TABLE

THE scene is metropolitan
4 railway depot. Everywhere
people are standing, discussing
excitedly the coming journey. Por-f
tiers rush to and fro carrying lug
gage and shouting. Here and
there stand groups OF people por-
ing over booklets. "A man, neck
tie awry, approaches a booth
marked Information. Can
get a train for Chicago tonight?'
For an answer the clerk passes
long, white booklet to the in
inquirer, and says: Consult this
! and you will obtain your informa-
ton
But remember, this takes place
in 1926 There was a time when
railway guides were unknown.
Travellers stood in long lines out
side the information booth, usu-
ally the only one in the depot,
and waited their turn to pop the
question" The teller. because he
had so many duties, was often
cross and irritable, and "onse-
Quently service was not always
good. But since the compilation
OF time tables this Inconvenience
was done away with and all you
need do is consult your guide
before making reservations for a
train.
The first railway time table was
published in 1899 by George Brad
shaw, a Manchester Quaker and
map engraver Although a Lon
don newspaper disputed this facG,
time tables preceded Mr.. Brad
shaw's were really unreliable and
often inaccurate.
The guide compiled by Mr. Brad
shaw -four copies of this are now
in exiStence) was much less pro-
sale looking affair than the tables
now in usef 1t contained, In i'd
dition to the scheduled arr val AMI
departure of trains, information
about the places through which
the railway passed. According TO
the London Globe of 1880, this
green with gilt lettering, actually
described the scenery along the
route of the railway
Early numbers of the guides
furnish curious reading. Trains
are described as First class sec.
ond class" mixed" fast and
mail" To third class passengers
was accorded the privilege of rid
ing on the roofs of other cars or
in the open wagons much like the
freight cars of today. Those
gentlemen who chose to ride in
their own carriages were charged
second class fare, and luggage was
carried on the car roofs.
