Ireland and Wales, The oldest are often quadrangular, being made of thin iron plates which have been ham merM and riveted together. At the monastery of St. Gall In Switzerland the four sided bell of the Irish mission ary St! Gall, who lived in the seventh century. Is still preserved, but more aucirat still is the bell of St. Patrick in Belfast, which is ornamented with gold and gems and silver filigree work. The curfew bell is that about which most has been written and said. It has been thought that it was ouly used in England, but it was quite common on. I he continent in the middle ages. The ringing of bells by rope is still very popular in England, especially in the country, where almost every ham let, however small, has its church with its peal of bolls, which are often re markably well rung. The first real peal, of bells in England was-sent by Pope Calixtus III. to King's college, Cambridge, and was for 300 years the largest peal in England. About the beginning of the year 1500 sets of eight bells were hung in a few of the large churches. In the middle cf the seventeenth cen tury a man named White wrote a fa mous work oh bells in which he intro duced the system of numbering them 1. 2. 3. 4. etc.. on slips of paper in dif ferent orders, according to the changes intended to be rung. It Is calculated that to ring all the changes upon twenty-four bells at two strokes a second would take 117 billion years. One of the most famous bells in the world is the first great bell of'Moseow. which now stands in the middle of a square In that city and Is used as a chapel. This bell was cast in 1733, but was in the earth fee over a hundred years, being raised in 183G by the Em peror Nicholas. It is nearly twenty feet high, has a circumference of sixty feet, is two feet thick and weighs al most 200 tons. The second Moscow bell, which is the largest bell in the world that is actually in use, weighs 128 tons. There are several bells ex tant which weigh ten tons and over; of which Big Ben. the largest bell in Eng land, weighing between thirteen and fourteen tons, is one. Big Ben is un fortunately cracked.

Long ago, so long that even a scien tist would hardly dare venture a guess as to the date, a man clad with only a wild beast's skin about his loins was sitting at the mouth of a cave in one of the rocky highlands in what is now southern France. He" was scratching with a sharp flint on the fragments of an ivory tusk, perhaps picturing for some youthful admirers adventures through which he had passed or ani mals he had slain. That, ivory chip was stored away as a treasure, to be lost and forgotten after the cave man's death. One day a man named Lartet, digging in the cavern floor, found it. On it was scratched a very fair rep resentation of the hairy elephant. probably at once the oldest picture and the oldest human record in ex istence. . We know the cave man was a faith ful workman, for the melting ice fields of Siberia have yielded a perfect speci men of this extinct mammal, and the paleolithic picture is a true copy. Not only has this ancient sculptor given us a sample of the earliest art, but he has left us, more valuable than all. a his torical record, of his time, for this rude picture is simply a page from the cave man's history which,, translated into twentieth century English, says. "Men. thinking men. were contempo raneous with the hairy elephant." No record that any of humankind have ever left Is half so ancient as this. : The oldest; Egyptian papyrus- is a thing of yesterday, compared to this paleolithic sculpture. While the cave man was living in Europe the valley of the Nile was yet only a wild waste. Egypt? was not yet Egypt, and civiliza tion as we know it had scarcely made a beginning. Lippincott's. Shy on the Son. "But' I do not know the candidate," said an old Yorkshire farmer who was appealed, to for his vote. "But ycu know his father?" . "Yes, I know him, and. he's a grand man." . . "Then you will surely vote for his son, won't you?" But the old farmer was still doubt ful. " "I'm no so sure about that," he re plied; "it's no every coo that has a cauff like hersel'."
