WHERE ST. PATRICK LIES AT DOWNPATRICK
The huge uncarved stone wee two years ago drawn from ths
neighborhood hills end pieced over the supposed grave of St.
Patrick. It bears a cross and the word "Patrick” in Irish capital
letters. It weighs seven tons. Part of the present Downpatrick
cathedral Is shown in the background.
ST. PATRICK’S
PURGATORY ON
LOUGH DERG
OUGH DERG, environed by
hills. In the southern part of
* County Donegal, also claims
the distinction of having an
L
Island on which is St. Patrick's purga
tory. In the middle ages the place had
a European reputation and pilgrim
ages were made to it from various
parts of the continent Between June
1 and August 15 the legendary site of
St Patrick’s purgatory is still .visited
by 3,000 or 4,000 pilgrims annually.
This lough, much smaller than another
one similarly named, Is studded with
Islands, delightful In themselves and
rendered still more attractive by a pic
turesque environment In which beauty
and a measure of sublimity are com
mingled.
Glraldus Cambrensls, a Welsh writer
of the twelfth centdry, who resided
BOAT OF ST. PATRICK’S
TIME
This ancient type of boat dates
from St. Patrick’s time. This
one is still inoiss on the Boyno
river near Slano. It has a wat
tle framework and is covered
with hide. It is singulsrly like
one of tho round boats on
tho Tigris.
for some time In Ireland, wrote at
some length about St. Patrick’s purga
tory on the Donegal Lough Derg Island.
“The Island In the lake," he wrote, “Is
divided Into two parts, on one side be
ing a church of great sanctity, nmld
scenes of wondrous beauty, Its charms
heightened by the frequent visits of
angels and local saints. The other
side of the Island Is rugged and hide
ous and Is reputed to he the resort of
demons and the haunts where evil spir
its perform their dreadful orgies. This
portion of the Island has nine pits and
If any person dnres to pass a night In
one of them he or she Is seized by
malignant spirits nnd tortured. Who
ever has borne these agonies In dis
charge of penance will not undergo fu
ture punishment In hell, unless persist
ing In sinning worse than before."
In this manner the Welsh historian
writes of the other St. Patrick’s pur
gatory. Long before his day. however,
legend and myth had cast their glamour
over a lovely spot which was. without
donbt, at one time sanctified by the
presence nnd the ministrations of the
apostle of Ireland. It was a credulous
age In which Olraldus Cambrensls
lived and his narration Is as of a mat
ter of fact In which he himself be
lieved.
The simple-minded people of the
Donegnl hills are not much harassed
by speculative doubts, and to them gen
erally the traditions attached to Lough
Derg and St. Patrick's purgatory ap
peal as strongly and make no greater
demands upon belief than are made by
matters regarded as still more essen
tial.
The first mention of St. I’nlrlok’s
purgatory In llteratnre was made by
n monk. Jocellne of Furness. In his
“Vita Sanctl Patrlcll," written about
the year 1183. Glraldus Cambrensls'
reference to It was made two years
later, but neither he nor Jocellne ad
vanced the Iden that the purgatory
was an entrance Into the other world.
This development of the legend first
THE GILPIN OBBKRVKR.
appears In a work written in Latin In
1188 by a monk. Henry, belonging to a
Cistercian abbey In Huntingdonshire,
England. The hook relates the experi
ence of an Irish knight named Oweln,
who descended Into the cave of St. Pat
rick’s purgatory to do penance for his
sins. He was led alternately through
hell and the terrestrial paradise and
was finally permitted to view the glow
ing portals of the celestial paradise.
Henry’s book made St Patrick’s pur
gatory famous throughout Europe, and
accounts of other descents Into purga
tory followed his In quick succession.
The story spreading to Spain and Italy
furnished the subject of a drama to
Calderon and doubtless contributed
Ideas utilized by Dante In the "Divlna
Commedln.”

ALL FOR THE BEST
Mr. Goslington Philosophizes on
Human Ills.
Finally Comes to the Very Wise Con
elusion That Many Seeming Mis
fortunes Are Really Bless
ings in Disguise.
“Gllmmerby, my friend Glinunerby,”
said Mr. Goslington, “propounds the
theory that both poverty and worry
are conducive to longevity, and I
tluink there Is something in that. 1
am not so sure about the worry, and
yet I think even that may be true!
1 can see, for Instance, that If a man
worried hard enough he would keep
himself lean nnd so escape the ills
and Inconveniences attendant upon
obesity; but that poverty tends to
lengthen life I have no doubt what
ever.
"The man who is poor, as we most
of us are, has lo work for a living.
Surely it Is In work that we are most
blessed; and If we have work to do
In which we are Interested, that ap
peals to us, then are we fortunate In
deed; we find a pleasure la labor nnd
a joy In accomplishment; and it makes
me smile to think how In such work
we forget our worries entirely.
“So we don’t really need to con
sider whether worry is a life projong
er or not; nil we want to lengthen our
days Is to be poor, poor enough so that
we have to work and keep plugging;
hut I do wonder that Gllmmerby did
not mention along with poverty nnd
worry, as among the things that might
tend to prolong life, our physical ail
ments.
“Some years ago a friend of mine
began to lose weight and he kept on
In that way until he had lost 25
pounds. Then he consulted a doctor.
It was something that could be
checked, controlled nnd perhaps en
tirely cured If the patient would fol
low faithfully the prescribed treat
ment; nnd then he was told that tho
general benefits he would derive from
the treatment were such that bis life
might be prolonged to a greater limit
than It would have reached If he lmd
never had this ailment at all.
“I might add that this friend has
now recovered several of his lost
pounds, ho Is feeling very chipper and
cheerful and he fully expects to live
to be a very old man.
"The fact is that many tilings that
we may look at, when they come upon
us, as drawbacks are in reality bless
ings In disguise."
All Alike.
Lndy Astor, the American M. P., told
In London the other day a story about
an nntl-suffrnglst.
“Anti-suffragists are all alike,”
she said. “Once I was canvassing for
signatures to a petition about Lon!
Milner, the viceroy to India at that
time. When I called on Mr. Boggs, tho
grocer, he rend the petition carefully
nnd then said:
** ‘Who is this here Milner, nm’nm?’
44 ‘Our Indiun viceroy,’ said I.
**‘Wot’s a viceroy?’ said Mr.
Boggs.
*' ‘A pro-consul, you know.’ And I ex
plained Lord Milner’s position In de
tail.
“Mr. Boggs, satisfied, dipped his
pen In the Ink; then he looked anx
iously.
“‘You’re not lettln’ the women sign
this, are you?’ he said.
“ ‘Oh, no, indeed,’ said I.
“ ‘Thnt’s right,’ said Mr. Boggs, as
he slowly traced Ills signature. ‘That’s
right, ma’am. Women don’t know
nothin’ uhout these things.’"
Radium Economy.
Tha use of radium on a large scale
therapeutically Involves dnnger of
loss, and this factor has been a big
one in inducing hospitals und clinics
with a gram or more of the element
in use to utilize radium emanation In
stead of applicators containing the ra
dium Itself. There has been installed
In a Pittsburg laboratory an elegant
nnd useful apparatus for the collec
tion, purification and tubing of radln
tion emanation obtained from a salt
of the element. It differs from earlier
apparatus In that liquid nlr Is replaced
by chemical means of purifying the
emanation, which are felt to he more
reliable.
Airplanes for Salesmen.

business llrm engaged In the manu
facture of rubber Is equipping Its

ports annually 85,000,000 worth of
