WHAT CATHOLIC. HAVE ! >ONE FOR ' Cl ENCE.

It. seems hal'lily necf:!:>sarv to remiurl you of two f;o~uiliar absurrlit.ies .which arc na.Lnrally suggested whenever we heat· the subject of 1-:ici ence and Catholici­ty meotionerl.

One of these absurdities is, that a man becoming a sd\'utist must give up heing a chri;;tinn; the other, which is equally as fooli.-~h, is that thP. Catholic Church is hostile to scientific progre5s. The former of these slalement.s is b1·ought to our notice more clearly every dny, "s the irlen. of IJlateriali. m is sprearling.

!<:very true scientist, however, knowl> that. Christianit.y i ~> not incompatible with scieuce, on tue C(>ntrnry, the n1nre deeply one expl<>l'es the se•:rets of Nature the more con>'tncerl he becomes tltal. there is nu intelligent, omnipotent B~ing in ex istence. ln other worrls, in e very 11atural ohj~ct as a rlrop of rain, a H•Jwer, an animal or i11 the naoH:ment.; of the lie 1venly bodi~s is seeu tbe lmurl of au intelligent Gorl. Be~ ides if the ·scientist be St> nsibl e he cnn not heir but observe the great w isdom :wei goodne8s of G·ori mnnifesteJ in the laws ut i\ature,

The assertion that the Catholic Church is ll•>stile to scientific fJI'Ogress has absolutely no foundation and h11s bet>ll com pletely refuted. On the contrary, it is the members of the Catholic Church, as I wi II show, wbo have been the f01·emos~ in as~i sting ID!l.nkinrl by aclvan­c;ng ;cience and who have causerl it to progress in e"ery age.

~cience iu its st.t·ict sense i · ct~liued as, ·'a lrocly of <>rganizerl knowlerlge whose phenomena are n.crnnged .~o. a-; 1.0 t>xhihit t he reasons or causes by which they a re iutlnellt!.,rl in Lbei r le!l:iLi .. ;ate GOnnectiun anrl intercl<o>pen­•i•·nct>.'' In o·bher words it is knowledge cluly anangerl a11rl referrt>d to gt>n t•ral truths anrl principles.

S<~me of the princi pal bmnches of sc ience are Astron. mu y, Cl'onology, Geogrn.phy, Mathematics, .\Jechan ic.\ f<: it·<'tricity, Chemistry and P!Jysiolo~y.

Until tbe 13th. Century, science was studied by the "P"cu lative theory, which consisted in trying to recon­cile facts to theories previou ly laid rlown . Anyone can see t.hnt such a system is absurd. The merit of upset­trng lhis mode of l'eflsoning belong.~ to the children of

the Church. lt was rlne to Roger Bacon, n. F rancisl!an Monk, Albertus Magu us and Da Vinci, all Catholics, that tue present system of inductiv ~ or experimental reasoning was introduced. Thus we see that the whole foundation ot our great scientific knowlenge was laid oy Catholics.

To con~ider e:tch bran r.il separately; we will bC'gin with Astronony, the greatest and nohlel>t of all the sciences.

fu the list of tLc promoters of this brauc h there is no lack of great Catholic names.

The tirst one we will notice is l\"icholas Copernicu5, who, besides attending to the sacred duties of his oflke as Cauon of the church of Frauen burg, found :ime to change the former theory in regard to tlle universe and to snh:;titute the one now universally held, and which all recent observations prove to be the correct one.

Copemicm, altbougil he had but rude in~truments and his observatory was but the attic of a small farm-house, is justly consirlt:red the founder of the mod~::m theory of the movements of the heavenly bodies.

The next person we will notice is Galileo, who bas done more for astrouo my tuan an.v otLer man.

He was the first who observed the Leavens by means of the telescope, the discovery of which is attributed by tl1e hest authority to himself. It was ile who helped most to perfect the system Joun ded by Copernicus. It is a curious tJ.c,l. that the Catholic Church ha& been accused of persecuting G!!.lileo because of his sc ience. This is un­Lrne and the falsity of this charge bas been again and again proven by many illustrious men such as Leibnitz, Guizot, Rsumer, Ranke and almost all wllo have sturlied tl,e fact<l. Tbey claim an d prove Lhat, ''Galileo trifled with authority to wb1ch he professed to submit, and W88

punisher! for obstiuate contumacy, not for heresy." Brsides applying himself to astronomy aloue, Galileo

discovered many other prin•!iples of nat ural seierH'e. Hence we see tllat the finn foundation which astronomy b:\s, was laid by tbe Catholics, Copernicus and Galileo. But besides this there are coun tless Catholic names of tbose who built up this science to the high pitch it !Ia:; at present,. Some whom we may mention arc, Cassini , who solved many problems in astronomy, Pia:r.~i, wbo dis~overed tbe tlrst of the tiny planets or asteroid~, Le Verrier. to IVhom helong~ the hon"r <JI' di ~t:nvering

THE U I<~ A ND BEAUTY OF GRA ITE.

P APEB Rll.AD BBFOR.E M!VART .·c n:NT JFIC Assn CIATJ{):" .

Benuty ha its charm , " e:•lth ' ' ttoll , fl ,rts anrlanxiP­tie~ 1a•n~ its encltanLruPuL~, hop~ and t· xpectation ttair ttenrlingjoy~, bnt iti ~eldom that we bave beauty and

nt.ility present in the selfsnme article, t herehy soliciting pu blic f:l.vor by a twofolrl meau .

W C:l find tbese qualities closely blenrterl together in the well-known mineral called Grnnite, abnut which the followiug-treatise will confine i ts.,l f.

This mineml is founrl in tbe earth at var io u~ rlPpfl s and is fn"quently obtained with difflc:u.ty . It is a c rys_ talline gmnular rock con " .:~ting of mica quartz a nd a kino of febflar is usu,llly arl•lerl.

Orthoclase or potAsh is the principal constituent o! all g1·n.•lit<>s; it i wme-times found in simple crystals fin d somelimt-s in twin~, bPing more common in some granites tbnn r, tllt:'r~, especially among fore ign pecimens.

The ortt.ocla.se may 11.ttain to the leog~h ut several inches, generally f.ivitied by a line running ll) ugituclinal­ly through the middle tbus rlivirling the crystnls.

When the gmnite is PXpose<i t;) t he elements for an inrlefinite time the f<!l~par be<·omes withet•ect into a sort of chinn cloy which is the re6ult uf thit- lm• ss of the fl"l ~p~r ,, nd tbe d isappenrance of the <'bn racteristic stria.

The color of this fe l:.par varies from u suow-white to a tle~h red; bul ill t.he so-cn.llert Amazon granite it bas a greenish color.

Granite nbounrls wiil.1 mnny other minerals, it bei ng eStimated that no fewer than forty four different varieties are present in a ~pecies of this mineral.

The most common accessory constituent of gra nite is bornblenrle a mineral which replaces in some extent the mica a11rl thus produces 1\ hornblendicorsyeniti c granite It derivprl its name from a place Syene in upper Egypt where it was quite extensively minPrl in former ages

Tben• il' a kind of granite called lu.xollianite which i , fouud in Cor .Jwall ~ugla•ul in large boulders. This rock is composed of chorl with quartz and orthoclade, the last narnert mineral occurring in large flesh colored crystals, which by contrast with the ciark base produces a very desirable effect. It is fmm a beautiful variety of this specimen that the sarcophagus of the Duke of Wellington in t. Pn.ul's Cathedral bas been wrought. Tbere are many ditfere.ut variet ies of granite among them being, gil\nt, graphic, granitite, emigraoite, and .r;rei11en.

G1nnt granite is so called when it occurs in large veius ar:ci immediate connection within it self.

When the crystals of orthoclase are a, soci::l.ted with quartz in a peculiar part~.llel arrangement they prod uce what is called graphic granite.

Granitite is a name applied to a vnriet.y macte up of orthoclase nnd quartz with more or less plagioclase and a small proportion of mica.

A g ranite compo ed of only fel par is called haplite or semigrnnite.

Ag:1in instead of the mica disappearing, the felspar IS

ab~ent, the resulting aggregate of quartz and mica is termed greisen, this being frequently a tin-bearing rock. The question of the origin of granite bas been frequently and warmly discussl·d, but as yet the moulders of ~cien ce ha ve not came to a definite conclmion.

ometimes it is found foroing its way through older rocks and appearing at the surface in hrge hosses from which vein~ are sent forth in all directions evidently proves its eruptive character. The width of these veins are sm~ll and IHrge alternately , showing tba.t it must have been in a state of fusion some time formerly.

In these veins the granite is apt to change its miner­alogical constitution becomir:g either fine grained or felsitic, or e>en reducid a.t the extremities of the vein lo quartz.

Gr;mite however is found both near the surface and at great depths beneath, thus varying to a great extent its cost as to the time spent in its procuration.

Gran ite is extensively used for decorative purposes, thouah its industrial applications are necessarily re­stric~ed by the expense of working so hard a materi>ll.

Although some granites decompose on exposure to atmospheric influences, yet other varieties are remark· able for their extreme durabili;;y, a !act which is attested by t.he monuments of ancient Egypt on which the i11cised hieroglyphics still retain their original shap!>.

A very rich variety of this mineral is found in Corownll and Aberdeen, Englanct , where it is used in the construcion of massive etructures and also as knobs

aiHl pavement. As n.n element of scenary. granite generally forms

round ~:d bills scantily cla1l with vegetation, llut it sometimes rises in sharp pinnacles as in the auguilleb of

the Alps. The weathering of granite often produces boulder

shaped masses in such numben, as to form around the summit of the bill a " sea of rocks."

We view with inward joy and concetoled pleasure the achievement~ of scientists which are manifest everywhere.

We are causeci to dwell with satisfaction upon the contrast between the vain, tbe hopeful, the worthy and the scientific student. The vain itudent applies himself

tO perf<onnl npp~'Rrn.nces .

S.T. VlA'l'EUR'S COLLBGE JOURNAL.

T he hopeful student is constantly looking forward to the t ime when ease ann comfort shall be his constar.t companions. The student of merit str!ves fur that sup­rem>tcy w' hich is only lmown to the great.

The scientific student not only explores the vicinity of hi s native home and unfold9 to the gaze of his fri enrls an d foes besiile, that wh 1ch has for centuries been lying hidcl.en to their view, ann not on ly climbs the steep hill , ascends the loi'oy mountain, and surmounts the most dangerous precipices, in search of natures treasures, hut he alw g ropes the hthom less depths of · ocean and there amici its pearly gems, its natural treasures, its ex­haustless col lections and innutr.erable specitr.ens of rare beaut.r a nd formntion, thinks, reasons, a nd dwells upon his novel smroundings, forming by his superht~man ef forts natural worlds of his (IWH creation. Therefore all praise , all g lory,all !ldmiration , a ll renown , to the seien­tific student wi•o has by bis constant efforts and I ifelong researches, flChi eved such wonders for the curious, the scientifi~, the intellectual, thenature loving world.

All praise therefore to the founder of nature beauties and his trusty followers who, by their untiring P.lle rgy towards the accomplishment of a m~ritorious design, d ispelled the darkness which ~ utTounded the mysteri<>s of the unknown world like morning mist :wd unfoln ec:i to the gaze of the whole human family the benmies of nature in all its forms and varieties.

All praise to the great and only Agn.ssiz, who has been thfl great expoundP.r of scientific knowledg·e and as Demosthenes studied oratory until he mane himself it.s master, so tlid Agassiz dwell amidst the pearly gems of nature's treasures until she fin ally exposed to hi s Pager gaze, her rarest be::t.uties, secrets and treasnres.

IS A STANDING ARMY NECESSARY IN OUR COUNTRY?

Before the late civil war, when the cloud of secession ~as slowly rising and from which a storm was sure to fol low, ali the nations of Europe were held in awe at the expected result of a war in a country ·where such a small army was suppor'ted. But their anxiety greatly relaxed when the President issued his first call for

volunteers and th(lusmJclS of men rallied to his stnndarrl , ready to risk all thi ngs, l:'veu life i~self, for the Union. The rnpiflity with which 11rmies wf·re ra ised apd re • . C'Tuited , during that fearful struggle, and the willingnPss of tlte Americans to make np fOL' tlte ahs11nce of a standing army, cl lnrl_y i11 •li tnte tlteit· a.~t ·tcu:n '' Lt to· the-:7" government of t!Jeir country.

Mr. Brownson in his Ame1·ican Repub1tc strongly in­sists on hav ing a sta11cling !l tm y in llll s cunntry . He complai ns tbRt the militmy spi rit whieh animn.tecl. the anc ient Greek~ :.t.nil Romans and even m:tii,Y countril•3 of modern times io fH st rlying away ; that no longer do we see these la rge numbers of strong n. nrl healthy me n spending u. ll th eir time in !t<:qui l'ing a true militarr seience, iu order t.hat t hey may be ever ready to defend th~'>ireountry, when aLtlleked l•y foreign or domestic foes.

He is of th e o pini on t.hat if, at the ontbreak of the civi l war, there w:•s a stn11di"g army in this country, the rebellion would have been immediately suppres~ed

:~nd so ewe of !he gn;atest pl~gnes toe country ever experi encecl would hfl ve been avoided, ~tnrl the en or. mous sum of m0twy ~p1-nt in thnt war C(Juld have been employed in sopp<.,rting a stanrli11g a rmy jor mnny years.

He f'H.ys also that. v1ars arc liable to L:~ke plaee nt <t.ll.Y tim e and for this reaoon the m•tion shuu l•i have a. stn ncting army ever re>~ rl y to defend it ag,1 inst any 9ttnek:

Another adv:•ntnge in a ~tanding nrm,\' is that it tnkes ti·om tlw Rt teets JJ I:1 11 ,Y loafers and idle gentlemen who bec" mf', after ;~ :;IHJrt term in tbe arm y , goorl citizens.

Mt·. Brownso11 m:.•.Y bl' right in his optn l o ll S concerr'­ing this qu estion but we •·a.n11ot Hg ree with him and now we are rP.a.ily to :; bow why. Hc:wevf'r. before proceeding to the question we rnu :; t concede that there nre sever:!] advantages re'lulting from a standiug army, but the di~n.dvantages are by t..r more numerou:; and it i~ fur this reason that we hold the 11egative side of the question_

A large army m~-.Y be necc'ssary in a monarchy, to ent\•rce the ruler's t.y ran ni cnl law~, nnd to prevent in­su rrection s; but in thi s eountry , where t.he people them­selves are the makers of the laws a nd- where nobody h:-~.s reason to complain , ~uch a 11 eees~ity cannot be flrguerl.

In most. cou11tries where l:11·ge standing armies a.re kept, they nre reeruiter1 by compelling nil able b0died young men, who ha ve re1tuhed the age of twenty one, to serve from three to five of the best year3 of theit· lives in the army, where they acquire habits of dissipa­t ion and idleness which entirely uufit tl~ em for the career of good citizens. Although, according to the Oi)inion of Mr. Brownson, tile standing army may some­times make good citizens out of street-loafers, yet we · kuow from experience that many young men who were models of virtue before they ent ered the army , cume

THE STORM KING-.

O n0 dourly sum mer evening while sailin ~ on the Athtnt.ic, we were speak in g of the Storm King that my~terious being who rides after his legions and lashes t hem on to greater fury, min glin g his voice with the roRr of the thunder, until he is, at last, exhausted and back he goes, for a time, to his kingd om , and then once more rushes forth spreading devas~ation and ruin in his path. While we were yet speaki ng, a cool hreeze arose and the voice of the o ld skipper was heard worning us th at a storm was coming: The breeze became stronger an rl the heavens grew darker showing us that the Storm K ing was once agai n advancing his powers against the

powers nf man ancl natnre.

102 tST. VIATEUR'S 'COLLEGE JOURNAL.

All on board were in a state o f grea t ac tivity. The sa:lors were preparing for th e coming storm; but, before they had made much headway, darker clouds began to ga th er , and th e wind whiFtl f".cl more fi ercely through t he corrl age. vVe bad not long to wait in dread , for won t: •e Kin g w::s upon us in his wra th. The be:wens beeame blac k and gloomy, anfl the lightening flrtsbed incessantly . Giganti c billows lormefl, and , as our vessel w: s ro llecl to the summit, w e would stop for an instaut, and tll en down. d own w ould we go. W e rise once more, we Rre at the summit. Stop for an instant, listen; and theu yon will hear the voice ofthe furiou s King directing his light­ening , as , with a roar, heavens artillery hoomF. The is the wee ping sky light up for an inst.ant uy tb e flash of his eyes.

L eaving th e billowy main be stridl:'s OYer land, tea r ­ing up forest monarchs that have heen standing for ages; now he comes to a clearing, see ho w the animals run for sheltex, but in vain , he is upou them , and that ends all.

On, on be goe,s growing in strength. He is dead to wba t i~ behind; he sees only his foes before him. Ah! if he would but once looked behind; would his heart relax in the remains of that sweet child caught in bis a rms and then dashed to death in an instant. ; but no , that wrings no compassion f10rn him; he will not look behind: hiR fees are before him, and he 1s still hen ~

o u their destruction . At Ialit his strength fails him , as it were, and be goi'IB back to the cave •)f the winds, silent

and morose.

THE FOREST

G. A.B. l s'. Grammer.

H ow bmmtif11l is every thing that God created. The pretty hill~, the tall mou1 tains, the deep precip: ct·s :11 d t he vast oc.:ean. But the forest whose tall trees .~hade the g round with their branches so that the sun cannot come t hrough, where the little birds build theif nest and sing a ll day , is not so grand but is more pretty . In the summer tim e 'll'hen it is so WRrm in thP. fields, the forest is cool and pleasant. Their is some li1.tle ~ild flowers that g rows in the forest that make the ground look very pretty.

It is nice to go to the forest to see the different kinds of trees with their different kind of leaves, how pretty they look. When the leaves fa ll in the fall they are so pretty they hR~e !luch pretty colors. In the winte r the forest is not as in the summer time, the leave~ are all gone and the brRnches are covered with snow. N o on€1 likes to go to the forest in the winter bAcause i t is too dreary. The Indians lives in the forest bac ause

it is their hom e, th ey are protected from the sun in the summer time and from th e wi1J1i in the winter.

Many animals live in the la rge fo rest hecau~e th ey can bide. How pleasant it is to go to the wooos whe re there is a river or ereek, you ctw s it on the bank and fi sh wh en every thing is qui(•t . I think the best ·a.nd most pleasar:t w>~y to spend a holict ay is to go to the woods, because the woods a lone is enough to make y<•u happy .

*"'* RDIARKABLE BOOK ON ATHLETICS AND HEALTH-TRAINING.

''Athletics and !Hanly Sport," hy John Boy lc O'Reilly, h ·1s reacher! a second large edition, which shows th~t

thi:; is one o ( the books that have come to stay. This erlit,iou is enot mously enlargtld and improveo,

over 120 p~<ges being added, containing a graphic ac. count o f O'Reilly ancl MoselPy's exploration of the wounrlerful Dismal Swamp in <:anO('S. This article, like the f:•mons artinle on "The Ethics of Boxing," is copi­ou~l.r illustrated with superb plates from ph0tographs aDcl skt-tcbes taken in Disma l ~'Wa.mp.

The article on "How to Grow Strong by Training, Exercise, Diet, ancl Sleep," is pr .. bably the most com­plete ~turly of this important subject enr mude in this country. The rules ancl hints here >~re in,•aluable to nil

· who desirt health and strength, no ma.t!t-r what the age or conclit ion. This information from : he highest scientific nuthoritie~, a ncl tested by Mr. O' Reilly's experience, is as nrces~nry for amateur6 as for professional athlete!:'.

The illustrated article on "Ancient Iri sh Games and · \\' capons" will iulerest ancl su rprise all who are inter­

est.,cl in rnce development and archreology. Tbi8 article a]c.nc w ould mnke the book singulary valuable . Tbe astonishing we!dth of llntique weapons 'preservecl in Irelnncl (th~o- largest collection of bronzes in the worlti), and the bea1Jty of their design are r e velations to the
