A. FEW SIGNS WIIICII IXAVE
BEEN TESTED.
Flowers, Clouds, Sky, Sun, 1 oon,
Stars, Winds, Animals, All
Are Barometers.
There ean be no doubt, It least
in the minds of those who have been
at pains to acquire the old weather-
lore and to watch by its aid the
changes of the weather, that the
wise ones of long ago had unfailing
barometers in their fields, by the
waysides, and even at their hearths,
and thereby they bad an interest in
?" Nature which some of us might do
worse than try to recover.
fs
Even 7Gthose who spend the most
c.:1 part of their lives in big cities could
learn something, and so get closer
to Nature, while those who are
dwellers in the country could do
much more.
Par the benefit of both classes we
'give some signs which have been
ested, and our readers may verify
hem at their leisure.

GUARDING CROWN JEWELS.
A Remarkably Strong Room in the
Tower of London.
There has only been,one attempt
to steal the Crown Jewels from the
Tower of London, and that was
when the famous Irish adventurer,
"Colonel" Blood, attempted the
feat in 1671. The clumsy methods
of the notorious "Coionci" are not
to be compared with the subtle and
scientific ways of the modcru
cracksman, but ezee the latter—olid'
he possess the genius of a d. zen
Raflieses—could 1i'.s.re. ly h 'pe to
steal the Crown Jewels from the
new Jewel Room, which is now com-
pleted in the Wakefield Tower of
the Tower of London.
The floor and walls are made of
solid stone, while a new steel grid
has been built to enclose the plate-
glass regalia show -case. The bars
of this grid are made of the finest
tempered steel, the ends being em-
bedded in the solid masonerry of the
roof and flooring. Connected with
this grid is a hidden electric
alarm, which instantly warns the
custodians of the Tower if a bar
be wrenched ever so slightly.
The doors of the Jewel Room are
iron. lined and fitted with the latest
in complicated locks,. The jewels
themselves wiii lie in automatically
closing steel cases, absolutely burg-
lar-proof. While the room is be-
ing completed the jewels are kept in
the Government strong -room, and
when everything is ready they will
be taken to the Wakefield Tower
under guard and mounted for public
exhibition in their new cases be-
hind the grid.
At one time it was proposed that
a trap should be eonstrueted, so
that, if necessary. the jewels could
be lowered through the stone floor:
into the dungeon beneath the Wake-
field Tower. This dungeon, how-
ever, is below the level of the ie river,
and very damp; consequently the
scheme was abandoned. As a mat-
ter of fact, nothing has been housed
in this dungeon. since the Middle
Ages, when prisoners languished in
the Tower.
Europe's total area covers 3,870,-
000 square miles.

WHAT IS A. BOND ?
A mortgage on the C. P. I2.. could
aot very well be held by one per-
son so it is split up and sold in sec-
tion to a number. Such sections
are called bonds. 13onds are al-
ways readily turned into cash at
ear or even better, and they pay
wice as much interest as a savings.

THE PARSON'S REVENGE.
A clergyman was accustomed to
use scientific terms whiclx,,the people
dict not understand. A' deputation
waited on him with the request that
in the future, whenever he used
such terms, he would explain them.
On the following Sunday he used
the term "hyperbole," and ad -
sled :—
"As agreed on, I beg to explain
this -word. Were I to say that at
this moment the whole of my con-
gregation are sound asleep, it
would be hyperbole, but if I say
that one-half are asleep that is not
hyperbole, but the truth."
The next day the deputation
again called to say that the minis-
ter need not explain technical
terms. The people would learn
their meaning from. to dictionary.
