the university said.
Principally a plague to museum
curators, the disease continues to
grow into a hard, thick crust,
then spreads until many bronze
figures become 50 covered with a
massive crust that they are urf-
recognizable. Thin objects can be
eaten through and destroyed.
During the years the disease has
been under study, it was noticed
bronze objects buried In deserts
do not contract the disease, while
those found in humid areas often
were affected.
Investigation indicated chic

sible, slowly converting alloys In
the bronze into the crusting
"sores," which merely are the sep
aration of alloys making up the
bronze.
In fact, the disease can be in
duced in an object through hand
ling by a person whose moist
hand has the proper salt content
to start the chemical action, ac-

curator Of fine arts. and DR.. AL

Catholic Information
 Saints - who are they. and why?

Lots of saints, according to the Catholics. Saints to whom to pray. Saints after whom churches, col leges, and whatnot are named. Saints with relics to venerate Saints with feast days to celebrate Saints with pictures, statues, med als and the like What nonsense!
 Lots of heroes in American his tory. Heroes to emulate. Heroes after whom we name our states, cities, towns, and public buildings. Heroes. with relics to venerate, Heroes with birthdays to celebrate. Heroes with pictures, statues, U. 5. stamps and currency to commem- crate their deeds. Is this nonsense, too?
 Yet the cases are parallel With the one exception that Catholics pray to the saints. We do not pray to pictures or statues, but only to the saints of which these images remind us. We do not adore the saints, but in honoring and prais- ing them, we please God, who has definitely designated many of these heroes of Christianity as His Own beloved in heaven, to whom we may give public devotion and for whose intercession we may ask in our prayers.
 Definitely designated by God! We say this advisedly, because the identity of each saint is no hap hazard guess. No soul is canonized (declared saint by Mother Church until, through that souls interces-

sion, at least two miraculous cures have been performed-cureS of or ganic diseases which the Congre- gation of Rites passes upon as being impossible of cure by any means known to medical science.
 Thus the saint in heaven fulfills his part in "The Communion of Saints" by listening to our prayers and by carrying to God the worthy pleas of our poor, weak humanity.
 God alone we adore. Jesus Christ is our sole Mediator. But we can ask our friends on earth and Gods friends in Heaven to pray for us, which interferes not in the least with the many prayers we say di- rectly to God.
 If any non-Catholic thinks that our doctrine of the Communion of Saints is strange, let him remember that more than two-thirds of all Christendom has believed and acted upon this doctrine for 1900 years. Let him remember also that from the first century to the six teenth, this beautiful and devo- tional creed permeated all of Chris tianity; that it is still in the Apos- ties Creed
 If it's anything Catholic. ask q Catholic!
