WATERPROOF PAPER.
The Changes That Come With the
Parchmentizing Process.
The United States consul, writ-
ing from Chemnitz, gives some in
teresting, valuable information re
garding the waterproofing and
parchmentizing of paper by the trer-
mans who have given trie subject
much study.
One method of waterproofing pa
per and cardboard consists in treat
ing the sheets with a hot mixture
of asphalt, turpentine and linseed
oil solution of glue. Another con
sists of saturating cellulose articles
with a solution of rosin in a mix
ture of petroleum, linseed oil and
paraffin. Solutions of varnish in
linseed oil are also used.
Still another is by thoroughly
soakins articles of paper or cellu
lose in a solution of rosin soap and
then immersing them in a hot bath
of zinc chloride, passed between

Next Surdpy ttet will be a
peculiar ceremony observed at Si.
Mary's Church, "The Blessing
of the Candles."
The Candlemas Day began to
be generally observed about 500
years after Chrst. The intention
of the Feast is to bring to our
minds the coming to the fern pie
of the Blessed Virgin, there to
make the offering required by the
Mosaic law. According to this
law every mother bad to appear
in the Temple thirty-three days
after she had given birth to a son
or sixty-six days after the birth
of a daughter. She was required
to offer at this visit a three-year
old lamb for a holocaust and a
young pigeon or f turtle dove for
a sin offenne. If too poor to
offer a lamb she offered instead a
pair of pigeons or turtle doves.
According to another ordinance
of the Mosaic law, every first
born son of Israel was to be dedi
cated to the service of the Altar
by seven shekels of silver. In
compliance with law Mary pre
seuted her Divine Son in the
Temple on this day, and thirty
vears afterward she offered Him
on Mt. Calvary to His Heavenly
Father as a sacrifice fori the ran
som of mankind. This much
I with regard to the connection
of Candlemas Day with the Puri
fication of the Blessed Virgin.
Oh this day the candles are
blessed and carried lighted in the
procession for the following rea
sons:
First To remind us that the
Incarnate Son of God is the true
liefet -tbat-cameinto the world to
enlighten all men, and that on
this day He was carried by His
Virgin Mother to the temple and
rjreserited as an offering to His
Hevenly Father.
Second This ceremony re
minds us of that moment when
the aged Simeon folded the Di
vine Child in his arms and with
joy exclaimed, "Now my eyes
have seen the Light which is to
enlighten all nations."
Third The burning candles
which we hold in our hands re
call the words of the Savior.
'Let your light shine before all
men that they may see your good
wo.ks and glorify your Father
who is in Heaven."
All Christians must show to
all men the ligbt of good ex
ample.
Finally, the wax of the candles
typifies the immaculate flesh of
the humanity of Christ.
The candles will be blessed
next Sunday before the 10:30
o'clock mass, alter which there
will be a procession through the
church.
In the cvenine at 7:30 there
will be Vespers, Instruction and
Benediction. As next Sunday
will be the first Sunday of the
month the Sodalites will receive
Holy Communion at the 8
o'clock mass.
Next Monday, the Feast of S.
Blase, the ceremony of the bless
ing of the throats will take place
after the 8 o'clock mass, also at
12:30 o'clock and at 8 o'cloik
in the evening. The blessing is
aoainst diseases of the throat. Iu
our large cities thousands of Cath
lies, and a great many non-Catholics
crowd our churches to avail
themselves of this blessing. In
tbe ceremony the priest prays
that the recipient "be delivered
through the intercession of St.
Blase, bishop and maityr, from
all diseases of tbe throat and
from all evil. All, even babies
and little childien may receive
the blessing. Contributed.
