ST. PATRICK.
Reproduced from an old engraving.

-- Patrick III - and Patrick Maen -
Patrick II-became confused during the
centuries. The dates of their lives
overlap, and there is a striking similar
ity in their romantic and adventurous
lives to say nothing of the cause in
which they labored. AS was the case
with the second Patrick, Patrick Sue
cath was carried away by pirates, who
swooped down upon his birthplace, and
was sold as slave An Ulster chieftain
bought him and the lad was taken
into the county of Antrim. Here he
minded the sheep and dreamed dreams
of bringing the Christ he prayed to to
the people of that country. He served
six years--until he was 22-when he
escaped and returned to his own people.
In his Confessions" which are still
extant, Patrick relates his experiences
with the voices and visions that be-
sought him, as they did his namesake,
Patrick II.
Educated in a European monastery,
Patrick returned to Ireland to fulfill his
mission laboring there under "Old
Patrick"-Patrick Ito make the land
blossom under true light"
But st. Patrick, unlike the other
missionaries of that name, was not con-
tent with preaching and converting In
one locality; he began to wander here
and there, to the west. rolling up more
followers, which included Druid priest
esses and kings. The port of Wicklow
proved an inhospitable one, and he was
greeted with stones and lost four teeth.
Local tradition says that st. Patrick
then hurled upon Wicklow the maledic-
ton that the making Of a priest should
never come to 1t, and the oldest In
habitant there will tell you today that
the spell has never been broken. Pat

IT is not known-and perhaps never
will be-which of the three Patricks
fmmortalized the shamrock as the en-
blem of Erin. but the story is pretty
one. While instructing one OF the
princes of Ireland and his family In
the principles of the Christian faith,
the doctrine of the Trinity loomed up
as particularly incomprehensible to the
irish chief. Patrick and the prince were
walking among the hills where the
gentle and unaSsuming trefoil was grow

He always assumed that Daphne knew
every one, and she did not fail him as
he fumbled for Blanche's name, which
he did not know.

cheerfully. "You don't mean to say this

to yourself. You're going to lose your
job, if you do things like that. 1t isn't
fair to the firm. She's great asset to
us"
Bert Clark grinned somewhat sheep
iShly. For Daphne and his wife were
both giving him queer looks. Daphne
was finding it rather trying to have the
man she had Economically discovered

Nick was always talking about enter

thought, watching him put Bert Clark
at ease. Nick was always the same, and

at Daphne a little obviously as he set
down waffles before her.
Happy New Year." she said, again.
"She's got another man this time" re-
ported the boy to the other waiter. the
other one that she got the first time has
another girl now"
He couldn't make out quite what 1t
was all about. Nor did Nick, who was
very sleepy when Daphne made f1nal
reflection from her pillow. as the morn
ing light drifted in through their VIM
dows. She had just perfected plans for
entertaining Nick's Office force, but was
still wakeful.

but whether these figures were compiled
when the work of the three Patricks
was credited to one man is not certain.
Over so societies in America alone
have sprung up in his honor, covering
every field of activity from religious to
social and numbering membership from
every creed 1t would be impossible to
state how many more might be found
In the Emerald Isle. Great Britain and
the far corners of the world. For wher-
ever there are men there are Irishmen,
and wherever there are Irishmen there
is a breath of the Emerald Isle and a
bit of shamrock once a year to remind
of its glories. And If st. Patrick was a
Scotchman there is enough generosity
In Irish blood to credit him with all the
gay and happy virtues of true Irish de-
scent.
Just why the engineers at the Uni

WHEN Old Sol gets busy and manu-
w features rainstorm, tremendous
amount of energy is expended. 1t has
been estimated that between 100000
and 100000 horsepower hours are
required to evaporate the amount Of
moisture in a square mile of cloud OF
average density. and this amount, even
If it were precipitated as rain, would
hardly more than wet the surface q
little. To produce an inch of rainfall
over a square mile would require 72.320
tons of moisture and square mile is
of little consequence in an area stricken
