He Hears Mass In Greek at
at the Vatican.
AN UNUSUAL SCBNG
Conducted by An Knstern Patriarch
!'lrst Function of the Kind At
tftiilcil by a Pope Since 1I3H
Without I'reccdrnt In Other lie
upcct A Historical Itcvlcw.
The Sorvlco In honor of St. John
fhrysoHtom hold In the hall of the
Ileutincatlons at the Vatican on Feb
ruary 12 was unusual In many ways.
Never before did any Pope take part
In u religious ceremony In which the
tir.'t k Instead of the Latin liturgy
was followed; nor has any Pope
attended a Blmllar function ulnee
the time of the union between the
l.atlu and Eastern churches after
the Council of Florence In 1438.
It was the first time In the history
of the papacy that a cnpalla papa e.
as the function held In one of the
chapels or churches of Home In the
presence of the Popo Is generally
railed, was altered In ceremonial,
decoration and liturgy to suit the re
quirements of the Greek rite, and the
first time that the Pope used dreeK
Instead of Lntln.
A special altar was erected at one
end of the hall with three irons In
front of it arranged in such n v;iy
as to form the three entrance.", or
doors, through which the Irlinuus
and servers pass during tl.e muss.
POPE PIUS X. .
On the altar were six gold candle
sticks and a crucifix, while r-re
Oriental carpets covered the steps,
below. To the rljrht was the papal
throne, and at each side of the aisle
were benches for the Cardinals.
Hlnhops and prelates of the papal
court.
The body of the hall was crowded
with people eager and IntereFted
even in the slightest Incident, 1'he
number of applicants for tickets was
so great that the majordomo vas
forced to Issue permits to many al
lowing them to stand in the corri
dors. About the tlmo appointed for he
ceremony the murmuring of many
voices in the hall was silenced by the
sound of the Greek hymn sung In the
distance, which meant that the cor
tege had left the Slstlne Chapel and
and was wending its way through
the Sala Hegla.
Three Greek priests carrying a
irolden cross and two flabclll then ap
peared, followed by a procession of
Oreek student priests, Bishops in
porgeously embroidered vestments
with the characteristic black blretta
and flowing veil, patriarchs In capea
of cloth of gold and Phrygian mitres
studded with gems, and deacons car
lying lighted candlesticks. In the
rentru was the Patriarch of Antloch,
his Beatitude Cyril VIII., the cele
brant of the niaBs and on either
fctde walked Bishops carrying sym
bolic candlesticks.
As the proceBBlon approached the
altar there was a bush and a pause.
The singing stopped and the papa)
troops saluted the Patriarch. The
hymn began again, and from the
mbdued huBh everyone realized that
the Pope was coming.
H wore the triple crown and a
vhlte satin cope, and from time to
time he blessed the people, recog
nising even In the crowd, some of
his devoted friends. At the altar
steps he alighted, prayed and blessed
the Greek celebrants.
Then the celebration of mass ac
cording to the Oreek liturgy began
It was most impressive and solemn.
The Pope followed the mass from
the throne, where from time to time
be was Incensed by the celebrants
and exchanged with them the em
brace of peace. ,
. The mass lasted two hours, at the
n of which the Pope Imparted the
tpostollo benedlctlos and the cere
'juoujt waa over. i

A Remarkable Blast.
One of the methods of quarrying
granite Is to dislodge a huge sheet
from the surface of the formation
through the medium of a powder
mine. A large perpendicular shaft
Is first blasted to a depth of about
thirty feet. At the bottom of this
and radiating horizontally, like the
spokes .of a huge wheel. Ions holes
ar drilled.
The extremetles of these holes,
hpys Popular Mechanics, are th.n
shot with light charges of dynamite
in order to create chambers large
nougn to receive large quantities
of black powder. This takes weeks
of ever increasing charges. Then
the final cr-arge is loaded. The now
huge chaiujers at the extremities
ct the spokes are packed with hun
dreds of pounds of powder, niim-i-rous
electric wires attached, and
the whole mine tamped with nne
material. A mighty roar and rum
ble in the bowels of the earth and
the huso sheet Is detached from the
ledge.
