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

It. seems hal'lily necf:!:>sarv to remiurl you of two absurrlit.ies .wh ich arc na.Lnrally suggested whenever we heat· t he 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 becom es 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. B e~ id es 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 f;o~uiliar

Noll

the Church . lt was rlne to Roge r Bacon, n. F rancisl!an Monk, Albertus Magu us and Da Vinci, all Catholi cs, 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 Coperni c u5, 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 t he 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

W C:l find tbese qualities closely blenrterl together in the w ell-known mineral called Grnnite, abnut which the followiug-treatise will confine its.,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 feb flar 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 lin e 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 fr om 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 b ei 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\ hornb lendicorsyeniti c granite It derivprl its name from a place Syene in upper Egypt where it was quite extensively minPrl in form e r 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 occ urring 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. P n.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~.ll el 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 ~e nt, the resulting aggregate of quartz and mica is termed greisen, this being frequently a tin-beari ng 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 an d 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 th e 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, Engla nct , where it is used in the constru cion of massive etructures and also as knobs aiHl pa ve ment. A s 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 JOU RNAL. T he hopeful student is constantly looking forward to the time when ease ann comfort shall be his constar.t companions. The student of merit str!ves fur th a t suprem>tcy w'hich is only lmown to the great. The scientific student not only exp lores the vicinity of hi s native home and unfold9 to the gaze of his fri enrls an d foes besiile, tha t wh 1ch has for centuries been lying hidcl.en to their view, ann not on ly climbs the steep hill, asce nds the loi'oy mountain, a nd surmounts the most da ngerous precipices, in search of natures treasures, hut he alw g ropes the ht hom 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 super ht~m an ef forts natural worlds of his (IWH creation. Therefore all praise , all g lory,all !ldmiration , all renown , to the seie ntific stude nt wi•o has by bis constant efforts and I ifelong researches, flChi eved such wonders for the curious, the s cientifi~, the intellectual, thenature loving world. All praise therefore to the founder of nature beauties and his trusty followers who, by their untirin g P.lle rgy towards the accomp lishm ent 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 pea rly gems of nature's treasures until she fin ally exposed to hi s Pager gaze, her rarest be::t.uties, secrets and treasnres. A 1 praise to the renowned pupil oJ nature the cdeiJrated Mivart whose ac hievem ents shall evur be record ed on history 's pages, whom the in tant a~sociat ion at St. Viatenr's have chosen as their most honored patron.

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't ed. 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~s elf, for the Union. The rnpiflity with which 11rmies wf·re ra ised apd re • . C'T uited , 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 in g a sta11cling !l tm y in llll s cunntry . He complai ns tbRt the militmy spi rit whieh animn.tecl. the anc ient G r eek~ :.t.nil Roman s and e ven 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 countr y, 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 s opp<.,rting a stanrli11g a rmy jor mnny years. He f'H.y s 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 hav e a. stn ncting army ever r e>~ rl y to defend it ag,1 inst any 9ttnek: Anothe r adv:•ntnge in a ~ tanding nrm,\' is that it tnkes ti·om tlw Rt teets JJ I:1 11 ,Y loafe rs a nd idl e gentlemen who bec" mf', after ;~ :;IHJrt term in tbe a rm y , goorl citizens. Mt·. Brown so11 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 them selves are the makers of the laws a nd- where nobody h:-~.s reason to complain , ~uc h 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 th eit· lives in the army, where they acquire habits of dissipation and idlen ess 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

But the forest whose tall trees .~hade the g round with th eir branches so that the sun cannot come t hrough, where the little birds build theif nest and sing a ll d ay , 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 h R~ 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 g o to the forest in the winter bAcause i t is too dreary.
