The 1Vlerry Bells of England..
Most people like chinrea of balls,
Yet a largo number o1 us have not the
vaguest idea of liow bells are rung.
Ringing a bell does not merely con-
sist in tugging a rope. neatly epealt•
Ing, it is au art, and involves physical
and mental exercise. An inexpert-
'Sneed POreon anon bee011le0 tired, and
until he has learned to give the rope
just the correct awing he will continuo
to find It hard work. A ringer of prac-
tice enmity Bede four hour's o1 con-
tinued ringing exacting, though on
Easter Monday, 1909, at All Saints,
Loughborough, a record of twelve
hours' continuous ringing was attain.
ed. But this is a record hard to beat!
A belfry usually contains from six
to twelve bells --though twelve is an
uncommon number, the usual being
eight. Thetis bells vary In note from
the tenor, which Is the heaviest, down
to the treble, the lightest, They aro
rung in changes. That is to Say that
the Conor always comes first, and after
that the other balls follow In various
orders, A peal consists of at least five
thousand Changes, all different, So that
the bell-ringer has to corleontrato a
great deal, or he wIll spoil the peal,
In ringing a peal the bells are turned
trent side to side. This means that,
when the rope Is pulled, the wholly
part which the ringer holds in his
hand ---•usually called the lolly—la lift-
ed several feet into the air,
'When 'you hear the bells playing
some popular air they are sounding
Viet is called a carillon, In this case
the hells do not turn over, but simply
receive taps from the hammers, caus-
ing a light musical note, and are oper-
ated by i.ugging simply at a series of
chert ropes.
1t takes about six months of prac-
tice to become a bell-ringer, and only
one marl in forty ever becomes really
proficient in the art.
Hatch Eggs Electrically,
The largest electric hatching plant
In the world is located in southern
California. It is said to be the first
establishment of the kind that has
fully and satisfactorily solved the
problem of bringing chicks into the
world on a wholesale scale by Stec -
Welty,
The plant has an output capacity of
80,000 chicks a week, and it works
full blast seven months in the year.
A thermostat of special construction
regulates the temperature Of the in-
cubators automatically and so re-
liable that the percentage of eggs
hatched successfully is extraordinari-
Iy high,
There is no danger of fire; no loss
of chicks front chilling or overheating
—the brooders being electrically
warmed; no lamps to be filled or ad-
justed; 00 gas burner to go out and
asphyxiate the downy birds. All that
is necessary is to turn a switch, and
the machine attends to thhe rest of
the business,
The electric mother hen does her
work at a cost of one cent a chick,
Even the coops and chicken yards are
illuminated by electricity, getting the
laying fowls on theejob earlier in the
day.
What a Beak!
As everyone knows, the beaks of
bleat differ to a certain extent. Few
people, however, realize exactly how
closely a beak is adapted to do its
work.
The heron uses its beak as a dagger
and very expert it is in its use in this
respect, for which purpose the beak
le. specially suited, The helmet horn-
bill uses its beak In exactly the same
way as we use a hammer, and its beak
Is hard and shaped for this use.
The beaks differ because of the
birds'i
d fferettt methods of dealing
with their food; this is the ease with
:'many fish -eating birds.
The scissor bill, for instance, differs
cons

y d riiin • the
sheet flat tonic of the latter bird is
made for holding as well as catching
0611, but ft is also remarkable for an-
other reason.
At the base of the' beak are certain
brightly -colored ',plates; when the
moulting season- tames round these
plates are shed with the feathers.
They appear again, .however, the fol-
lowing spring.
The strangest beaks of all are per-
haps those belonging to the bind bird
of New Zealand, for the beak of the
male bird -differs from the beak of the
female, and when food is found by one
to be out of reach of its beak, it is
'said that the male is called, to see if,
with its different shaped beak, it is
able to capture the morsel.

I wish that there were some wonder-

Called the Land of Beginning Again,
Where aIi our mistakes and all our

And all our poor seldslh grief
Could be dropped like a shabby coat

And never be put on again.
I wish we could come on it all un-

Lake the hunter who finds a lost
trail,
And I wish that the one whom our
blindness had done
The greatest injustice of all
Could be at the gates, like an old

And all the thousand and one
Little duties neglected that might

The day for one less fortunate.

ones whom we grudged
Their moments of victory here
Would find in the grasp of our loving

in a Curious Predicament.
Two years ago a German"prisoner of
war named Hopp was tried by court-
martial for the murder, in atrocious
circumstances, of a farmer's wife and
daughter. He was condemned to
death, but it is now found that he can-
not bo executed, and it would seem
that he will have. to wait in prison all
his life as a condemned man whose
sentence can neither he remitted nor
carried out. In the Berne convention
of 1918 the Allies and Germany agreed
11et to leery out sentences oh prism -
en of war. It was meant to insert in
the peace treaty a clause enabling the
Allies to deal with flagrant crimes,
but at the last moment it was omitted.

The storm, to meet the moonrise,

And Dillon on his white-faced roan

In scanty clothes old Michael the rain

Stood with his silver hair ashine, a

Behind him blazed his ruined barn, a

0 Sugar!
Long before the white man came to
North America, the Indians of British
Columbia had a white sugar derived
from the foliage of the Douglas fir
tree.
Prof. John Davidson, University of
British Columbia, assisted by James
Tait, has given us the results of his
study of sugar -bearing fir trees. The
sugar appears in small white masses
and in small flakes. It is quite hard
and..dry, not at all sticky,and ,tastes
like a high quality of refined sugar.
At first Professor Davidson thought
that the sugar appeared as the result
of aphides which punctured the foli-
age. But he sem discovered that in-
sects wore not present and th'ht only
healthy firs yielded sugar.
He therefore came to the correct
conclusion that the phenomenon was
the result of atmospheric causes. In

"Influence" a Drawback.
"Influence Is the worst handicap any
young man can have," says the presi-
dentf a
o copper company, It tends
to make him feel he need not exert
himself to his full capacity and has a
bad effect upon hitt. When other
workmen learn that one of their num-
ber has a pull with somebody higher
up they look at him askance and the
effect upon these other men is bad.
Then the foreman, or whoever is
over him, will either show him un-
due favors and puall him into a posi-
tion for which he is not tatted, or, if
the boss is of a different stamp, he
will hesitate to promote him even
when he deserves it .because the boss
knows the others will think it is a
case of favoritism.
The effect, therefore, is bad upon
the whole organization. When any
young engineer or college graduate or
anybody else comes to me asking for
a leter to enable him to get a job at
our works I say to him Just what I
have said here.
