Last week in Our Lady of Lebanon Church in Brooklyn, N. Y. Catholic worshippers heard Mass sung in Old Syriac or Aramaic, the language Christ supposedly spoke, by a bearded prelate who looked more Jewish than Catholic. He was Most Rev. Cyril George Dallal. 60, Archbishop of Mosul, head of the Syrian Rite of the Roman Catholic Church, shepherd of 90,000 Christians who live among the 1,000,000 Mohammedans of Iraq.

Baron Rothschild eschewed banking, but became one of the world's greatest naturalists. In 1932, financially embarrassed, he sold his bird collection, which had cost him $1,000,000, to the American Museum of Natural History for $500,000. He kept his moth and butterfly collection of 1,500,000 specimens. The Rothschild title passes to his 26-year-old nephew, Nathaniel Mayer Victor Rothschild, Research Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge...
