Sacred Stone of Erin
Lodged in Cathedral

The ancient Clogh-Oir stone from
which Clogher, Ireland, Is said to
have derived its name, has, with the
consent of the bishop of Clogher,
been placed in the vestibule of st.
Macartan's cathedral. to preserve it
from the weather. The Clogh-Oir
stone is said to have been one of the
three sacred stones of Erin. the 9TH
ers being the Lila Fail, or Stone Of
Destiny, which rests under the corona
ton chair in Westminster abbey, and
the Crom Cuagh. which is supposed
to have bowed before st. Patrick.
This famous stone which has hitherto
rested against the north wall of the
cathedral. was visited at one time by
Concober MacVessa. high king of Ul-
ster. Canon Mcguire. who wrote a
commentary on the register of Clog
her in 1890, states: This sacred
stone was preserved on the right Of
the entrance into the church, and
traces of the gold with which 1t has
been covered by the worshipers of the
idol Ceomeod Celsetacht are still WIS.,
ible."

Early Street Lighting

Some form Of artificial light must
have been In use for domestic pur-
poses from the very earliest times.
but though large cities and a high
state of civilization existed among
the Egyptians. Greeks and Romans,
the systematic lighting of streets was
unknown to them. From the writings
Of Libanius. however. who lived in the
beginning Of the Fourth century after
Christ, we may conclude that the
streets of his native city, Antioch.
were lighted by lamps, and Odessa.
in Syria, was similarly illuminated
about A. D. 500. OF modern cities
Paris was the first to light its Streets
In the beginning of the Sixteenth
century 1t was much infested with
robbers and incendiaries, so that the
inhabitants were ordered in 1924 to
keep lights burning after nine O'Clock
in the evening before all houses
fronting a street.

Belated Honors Paid
First British Aeronaut

In honor of James Sadler, the first
British aerOnaut, memorial tablet
has been erected at Oxford.
On October 4, 1874, he Ibid astonish
the people by ascending into the at
mosphere with firmness and intrepid
ity." His balloon was ITO feet in
circumference, and carried a small
brazier, suspended under the envelope,
in order to maintain heated air to give
the power of ascension. 1t shot up to
a height of 5000 feet, and was blown
northwest.
Unfortunately, Sadler dropped the
fork used to handle the fuel, and it is
said he avoided coming down in q
wood by using oars. Eventually, after
half an hours flight, he had travelled
about six miles. In his second flight
he used hydrogen, and in three minutes
was lost to sight in the clouds. Twenty
minutes later he came down near
Aylesbury. IA miles away.
For 25 years Sadler worked as a
chemist, engineer, and inventor, but
when fifty-seven he returned to bal
looming. In 1914 he assembled from
Burlington house, Piccadilly, before a
huge crowd. Subsequently, however.
he failed in an attempt to cross from
Ireland to England.

His Life Dedicated to - -
Fight ON Tuberculosis

DR.. Edward Livingston Trudeau, the
pioneer in the modern treatment Of
tuberculosis In America, was himself
q sufferer from the disease. In spite
of his illness, however, he did much
experimental work as well as dag
nosis and treatment. DR.. j. A. Myers.
in sketch of Doctor Trudeau's life
in Hygeia Magazine. observes that
perhaps nothing in the whole field of
medicine in the last fifty years has
done so much directly and Indirectly
to relieve suffering and extend the
years of usefulness Of SO many peo-
pie as the principles that this physi-
clan laid down at the sanitorium at
Saranac Lake. 49,
It was Trudeau who opened the
first laboratory for the study of tuber-
culosis In America. It was he who
first grasped the principle of tuber-
cul0sis immunity. It was he who did
the first experimental work in tuber-
culosis in this country. 1t was he who
first stained and visualized the tuber-
Gle bacillus in this country. 1t was he
who built that pioneer sanitarium at
Saranac Lake which has treated more
than $500 patients and today stands
In the front rank of such institutions.

Unerring Instinct Is : 80
Natures Gift to Seal

Seals are possessed of most mar
velous instincts. says Gas Logic. They
know, for instance, exactly where to
bore the ice to make their bobbing
holes and never waste time or effort
on ice too thick to be penetrated. They
have some mysterious way also of
knowing the width of field of ice
that must either be swum under or
passed around.
A mother seal will leave her pup
on an ice foe, slide off into the water,
travel for great distance and be gone
for hours fishing. Meantime the ice
/ foe, carried by winds and currents,
drifts far also. Yet when quitting
time" comes the mother unerringly re-
turns to the right foe. comes up
through her own bobbing hole and at
once finds her waiting child. Seals
normally travel through the water at
about 20 miles an hour, but on occa.
sion will "bolt" for short time at a
rate of about 100 miles an hour. They
cannot remain submerged without
drowning for more than about 20
minutes.
A mother seal among a swarm of
seal pups" is said to be very curl
Gus sight. Many Of the pups" solicit
her maternal attention, but she an
grily repels them all, finds her own
baby and nurses no other. The seal
youngsters all look precisely alike to
man, but her nose knows!

Small Farms in India

"India is essentially country of
small holdings" says Sir Verney
Lovett author of India" in many
parts of the country the land is held
mainly by families of peasant proper
ties. In other parts the bulk of the
land is owned by large properties, but
even in such cases the tenant in chief
has generally been protected by Sc
ries of rent acts which not only insure
him fixity of tenure during his lifetime
but often grant the right of descent of
the tenure to his heirs on his death.
The disruptive tendencies of the Hin.
du and Mohammedan laws have pro-
foundry affected agricultural economy
through encouraging the minute sub.
division of land" Regeneration is
the rule.

In discussing First District Con-

In discussing First District Con-
gressional candidates for next year,
the Maryland presents this array:
In the First District it is expected
that Mr.. Goldsborough will have an
unusually hard fight to secure re-
nomination. And some of the poll
ticians over there are favorable to
holding a conference by which an
agreement can be reached, so that
hostility to the present incumbent
may be concentrated in favor of one
of the several competent and able
gentlemen who are considered as
ready to enter into a contest.
1t it thought that State Senator
Earle Withgott of Talbot will show
a readiness to make the fight should
he be selected by this proposed con.
ference. His record in the State
Senate during the last two sessions
has added to his popularity, not
only in his own county, but through
out the whole district.
Senator Scott Beck of Kent, who
is one of the most forceful and cap
able members that county has ever
had in the State Senate, it is expect
ed, will express his desire to succeed
Mr.. Goldsborough. Mr.. Beck is q
lawyer of high standing and ability
Dudley Roe, who served several
terms in the Senate from Queen
Anne's, is an openly announced
candidate, and it is expected that
he will make a strong fight for the
nomination.
There have been rumors from
time to time that Senator Ward OF
Wicomico and Mr.. Loire c. Quinn OF
Somerset were considering the ad-
visibility of asking for the nomina-
ton, but this is doubtful. The
general expectation on the Shore at
the. present time is that Mr.. Ward
will be a candidate for the State
Senate, and that Mr.. Quinn intends
to ask the people of Somerset county
to send him to the State Senate, and
thus enable him to crafty his long
cherished ambition.

Word from Washington is to the
effect that the United States has
made a proposal for the settlement
of Russo Chinese difficulties in Man
churia. The proposal is that COM
mission of six powers be appointed,
the powers being the United States,
Great Britain, France, Japan, Italy
and Germany, to study the dispute
between Russia and China as to the
Eastern Chinese Railway, settle this
question definitely, and operate the
road until it is settled. The report
ed proposal is similar to that made
in 1919, when there was trouble
over the same railway and when it
the hand of the Bolsheviki, or that
such a possibility might be used by
Japan as an excuse to seize the line
The commission then appointed was
headed by John F. Stevens and it
held control until 1922 when the
road was returned to Russo-Chinese
control. The second clash in Man
churia over this important railway,
which traverses Manchuria and
links up with the Trans-Siberian
road, was of a more serious aspect
than the first. The fact that both
Russia and China were signatories
to the Kellogg Pact for settling
difficulties without recourse to war
has been great factor in helping
to bring matters up to the present
point of adjustment.
