A particular plea is being made for men's in or of everv kind. It is pointed out that the useful ness of the clothing comes in in cases where immigrants have been held up for weeks for investigation or be cause of illness. In these circumstances, their small savings quickly disappear and they are unable to help themselves. In other instances im migrants come from warm climates and thoughtlessly provide themselves r.o vanr! cannot be sent into their new country shivering from cold; hence overcoats are sorely needed.

UNKNOWN FRENCH PRIEST'S MONEY GIFTS TO CHINESE BISHOPS the end of the audience wanted bv His Holiness to th3 six r.hinese bishops, he handed each one of them an envelope containing a thousand franc note. The Holy Father explained that he had received the six thousand francs a few days before from a modest French priest who had begged him to give it to the new bishops, who desired to remain unknown. The six thousand francs was sent to the PoPpe in an envelope whichHis Holiness later gave to Bishop Tchao. It bore the following touching inscription: "A little priest of France humbly bees His Holiness Pope Pius XI, Vi-car oi cnnst-iving aau xwpe Missions; to kindly give the enclosed notes to the bishops who will be consecrated by His Holiness on October 28, as testimony of the fraternal charity which tenderly unites all the nviects in the world in Jesus our Be loved King and in the Roman Catholic Church, our Venerated Mother."

They had recently acquired an abandoned silver mine and wanted to find nnt whether there was any chance of discovering any lost or unknown veins of silver. Abbe Bouly equipped himself with an -instrument of his own invention, made out of two ribs of an old umbrella, and put a silver ring on his finger. Then he began to walk to the 'light and left of the old mine.

Several times there was a perceptible vibration of the apparatus: "Mark this placa," the priest said. VThere is silver here; you will not have to dig far to find it." After he had left trenches were JSbg at every placa marksd. And in ii cUninaA veins every piace me rociv oii- of silver. The directors of the mine then called him back and invited a group of -engineers and Pari-, journalists in witness the oparations. The latter, after watching the succesful filled the Paris press with col-.

umns of amazed comment. But the least amazed of all the Li cure of Hardelot himself. He expiain-M ed to those present that" all bodies icrt UN I emit a characteristic radiation, a phenomenon which he calls "radiesthe-sia." The study of this phenomenon has led him to observe that if he carries an object of silver in his hand, his rod will tremble whenever it approaches silver. The journalisticts declare that he made successful experiments in their presence with other metals also. The rod acts like the antenna of a wireless receiving sta rs tjon, capturing the radiation as an i J8 -Wfl-ial captures souna waves.
