The MONSTER BELLS OF THE WORLD.
In making large bells, loudness rather
than pitch is the object, as the sound can
be conveyed to much further extent
This accounts for the enormous weight of
some Of the largest bells. ST. Psul's, for
instance, weighs l3 600 pounds; the bell
Of Antwerp, 10000 pounds; Oxford, IT.
900 pounds /; the bell at Rome, 10000
pounds Mechlin, 2O,OUU pounds Brus es,
$4,000 pounds; York, 24,00O pounds |;
Cologne, $4,000 pounds; Montreal, 29,-
600 pounds; Erfurt, 10000 pounds ;
" Big Ben," at the House of Parliament,
81 900 pounds; Sens. $4,000 pounds
vienna, 10000 pounds; Novgorod, co.
900 pounds; Pekin, 80 900 pounds; Mos
COW. l4l 900 pounds. But, as yet, the
greatest bell ever known is another famou.
Moscow bell, which was never hung. L,
was cast by the order Of Empress Anne
in 1858. 1t lies broken on the ground
and is estimated to weigh 443 772 pounds
1t is nineteen feet high, and measures
around the margin six,y-four feet. Nc
wonder that it has never been suspended
There are few bells Of interest in the
United States. The heaviest is probably
the alarm bell on the City Hall in New
York, weighing about 23.000 pounds
As the Russians make their pilgrimage
to the great Moscow bell and regard il
with superstitious veneration, so the Amer.
ican citizen honors and venerstes the old
Independence bell at Philadelphia. for hs

Revolution, but he believes, now NOR,

The First strategist in Europe.

General Won MOltke has retired to his
quarters, and is closeted with his maps,
making new plans for the further pro
gress of the campaign and for the oecups-
ton of Vienna. This skillful strategist,
who has been the chief director of the
movements by which the three Prussian
armies, starting from different points,
were collected ut the necessary hour on
the field of koniggratz, has never, except
ut that battle, appeared in front of the
armies. Some dist lnce in the rear, sit
ting calmly at his desk, he has traced on
the map the curse of his troops, and, by
means of the field telegraph, has flashed
his orders TO the different Generals in i'm
mediate command with such skill and
foresight that lot q movement has failed.
and every combination has been made
exactly at the right moment. a quick.
light-blue eye, Il high forehead, and a
well-set figure, mark him an intellectual
and energetic man but, thorgh quick in
action, he is so prudent in discourse and so
guarded in his speech, that, from this
quality and his wide knowledge of Euro
pean languages, he is known in the army
rs the man who is silent with seven ton
gues. Careful and labolious, he has
worked out with out his own hand and
himself calculated almost every detail in
the operations in which he has taken Eu-
rope by surprise from the lightning rap
idity of his strokes and the tremendous
consequences of his dispositions, before
which the Austrian army has withered
away almost before it was gathered to-
gether, and which have won for him from
his countrymen the title of the first STRAIT
egist in Europe.-Br7Hn Correspondent Of
The london Times.

spfeeI, of Sir Morton Peto.

Sir Morton Peto recently made a speech
in Parliament on the subject of iron-clads.
He is thus reported
Sir NJ. Peto was glad that the subject
was removed ont of the sphere of party
politics. He was also glad to sec the
cnange in the Board of Admiralty, and
hat his right honorable friend opposite
was at the head of it. In his opinion
there was no time within the last six
years when the late Board of Admiralty
kept pace with the progress of science.
They know perfectly well that the cupalo
system was not adopted by the late Ad-
miralty until 1t was forced upon them.
He trusted his right honorable friend now
at the head of the Admiralty would not
be guided by q single mind, however tai
ented, but be ready to avail himself of any
Improvements which science might intro
duce, whether they came from an official
source or not. During his recent visit to
America he bad the advantage Of inspect
ing the dockyards and the naval admins
tration Of that country, and nothing could
be more humiliating than the comparison
between the mode in which the various
works were done there and in this ceun-
try. 1t was a mistake to suppose that
America was in a position to compete
with ourselves. It was truethat they had
seventy iron-elads, but they were con
structed only for coast defense. The Mi
.antonomah, which had visited our waters,
and the Monadnock, which had gone to
the Pacific were very powerful vessels.
It would be better for us to recall our Pa
ciic fleet than to submit TO the humilia-
ton and loss which must arise if a hostile
collision occurred. The flagship of the
Mediterranean squadron was suited to en-
ablcthe nObleLord commanding that squa-
dron to dispense hospitality, but she was
not iit TO fight, and if wal broke out she
would have to run into port and land her
crew. Now, ss ships of war were meant
fight, the time had come for the ques-
ion Of the efficiency of our navy to be
lealt with as one with which. the honor
md well-being of the country were init
associated. It was not our duty
have & fleet equal TO the whole of Eu-
,ope, but we ought to have a fleet equal to
he fleets Of any two nations which might
,ombine against US. We we're not in
uch a position at the present moment. |

Cable Ends.

A correspondent sends u the following
Why is a happy husband like the AT
lsntic Cable?
Because he is spliced to his Hearts Con.
tent.
It's said the present success of the Ocean
Telegraph was in the fact that the direc.
tors never lost sight Of the "great end o.
their undertaking from the start.
The greatest "wire-puller' Of modern
times-Cyrus w. Field.
On the arrival of the Great Eastern at
Newfoundland the sailors unanimously
declared that the whole thing was "played
out," and during the passage thew
held an Indignation meeting, st which
loud shouts Of "Do1sn lcih the Cable were
heard.
Shall we call Mr.. Field an aristoerat
because he is so very proud of his "connec-
tons
"Dear me" said Mrs. Grundy, "and so
they have put telegraph poles all the way
cross the ocean. l shouldn't wonder If
they tried a pontOon bridge next"
