Bells.


The history of bells is full of romantic
interest. In civilized times they have
been intimely associated. not only with
all kinds Of religious and social rites,
bat with almost every important histor-
lcal event. Their influence in architect
ure Is not less remarkable, for to them
Indirectly we probably owe all the most
famous towers In the world. Bells early
summoned soldiers to arms, as we'll as
citizens to bath or senate, or Christians
TO church They sounded the alarm In
fire or tumult, and the rights OF the
burghers in their bells were jealously
guarded. Many bloody chapter in
history has been rung in and out by
bells. On the third day OF Easter, 1899.
at the ringing of the Sicilian vespers,
5000 French were massacred in cold
blood by John of Procida, who had thus
planned to free Sicily from Charles OF
Anjou. On the oath of August, st.
Bartholomew's day, 1871, bells ushered

Cambridge, and was for 500 years the
largest peal In that country. At the be-
ginning OF the sixteenth century sets OF
eight bells were hung In few churches.

okol, which, according to the inscrip-
tion, was cast In 1888. was In the earth

A walk Across the Biz Bridge.

A New York correspondent has been
crossing the Brooklyn bridge, and de-
scribes his impressions as follows: In
our walk over the bridge wo did not
pass through these openings in tbe
tower but over the tower itself. The
little temporary bridge consists of stats.
three inches wide, placed two inches
apart. As we ascended the tower. we
could look down on "all crea ton be-
low, on the men who looked ike pig
mics, on the horse-cars and wagons
which looked like toys. It required no
little resolution to keep from feeling
dizzy. and 1t was not particularly in
spring to dwell too much upon our Iofty
and sudden elevation. It was strange.
too, what comfort was to be found In
the twisted wires which served as a
railing and were within grasp on either
side. Owing TO the fervor with which
this grasp was maintained, our gloves,
which were comparatively new when
we started, became In the course of the
journey complete wrecks. From the
anohor 70 the tower was by far the
most periliOus part. After that one be-
comes accustomed to the great height
and learns to take a bird's-eye
view OF things with comparative com
posure. Mr.. Martin told us that mon
we've much oftener overcome with diz.
illness than women. This is probably
due not to the superiority women pos
sess over men in maintaining their
equilibrium, though possibly they NAV
average better, but to the fact that few
women start out on such an enterprise
without having beforehand summoned
their powers OF endurance before them
and Impressed -up0n them the imnort-
ance OF the occasion; while the man,
accustomed 10 do what he pleases.
starts forth rashly. to turn hack after
the first lew steps, or presses on to de-
clare when he Is halfway over that he
would give every dollar that he pos
sesses to be safe on land again. How
ever. ss we have just said, It is not so
dreadful after the first ascent. The
portion which Is directly over the
water does not impress you as being so
high. The view is superb, with New
York harbor at your feet, and the two
great cities with their miles of brick
and mortar stretching away as far as
the eye can reach on either shore, the
trees with the freshness OF their foliage
relieving what might otherwise
be dreary WASH of houses. Way
down below us is the East river with
the busy feryboats, black with their
crowds OF passengers, many of whom
are looking up and snying; !" See some
one is way up there crossing the bridge"
We were over an hour upon our pill
grimage before we again reached the
ground on the New York shore, and
emerged through the lofty arches of the
New York anchorage. ,'f. a...

Concerning Lizards.

A discussion on the hereditary trans
mission of peculiarities took place at q
recent meeting Of the society of biology
Of Paris, when Mr.. Rouget is said to
have mentioned as remarkable fact,
that single tail, which he had caused
to be amputated from a salamander,
was replaced by two tails, which sub
sequently grew out. This is by nc
means an uncommon occurrence in the
Vest Indies, where l occasionally no
ticed lizards with two tails. The original
one IS replaced by another, always, l
believe, of inferior length, with second
shorter one growing from its base.
The common lizards of the West In
dies are extremely fond of music. In a
list ming attitude, they will approach
the open window of a room in which
music is played, coming nearer and
nearer, with heads elevated, intently
listening. In a somewhat rare book.
entitled "Barbadoes and other Poems, ~
by M. j. Chapman London, 1885, } this
habit is thus referred to:
Gay sounds are heard within the lighted halls !.
The listening leaves the melody enthralls,
~ he charmed zephyr pauses as he flies,
And mingles with his strains the softest sighs; !;
The awakened lizard leaves his bushy bed.
Climbs to the lattice and erecis his head.
A lizard, so engaged, had its tail acei-
dentally cut off by the sudden closing of
the window on the sill of which it was
stationed: TINS curtailed lizard, how
ever, continued to visit the spot, charmed
with the music. After a short time it
was noticed that the lost appendage was
gradually replaced by two. This oc-

The Force Of the wind on the Body.

1t is doubtful whether attention has
been sufficiently directed to the part the
force of wind plays in producing altera-
tion of the blood-pressure in localities
of the surface. In full health this may
be an unimportant consideration, the
skin being stimulated to a proper de-
gree oftension, and the underlying ves-
sells suffering no compression; but, in
the case of persons of low vitality, this
bracing "may not occur, or almost in
stantly subside, and congestion of deep
organs may then be mechanically pro-
duced by prolonged exposure to the
force of strong wind Sometimes
numbness and even paralysis of the
nerves may result from the same cause.
In the old coaching days facial paral-
ysis was n well-recognized result OF
sitting with the face TO the open win
dow. In the more rapidly moving rail-
way carriage of to-day the angle of in
cidence and reelection throws the cur
rent OF air on the passenger sitting one
seat removed from the whpw, or the
current of air strikes thoDkk OF the
carriage. and is passed round behind
the necks of the passen gers. rs any one
may demonstrate with lighted mate
In all these instances it is the force as
much as the temperature of the jet of
air which produces the results some
times experienced from 'sitting in
draught." The question arises whether
this little fact, taken in connection with
Others, may not hereafter be found to
throw some new light on the nature of
a cold" and its morbid phenomena.
Perhaps, after all, "cold- catching" is,
in part, at least, process in which the
blood is forcibly driven out of a particu-
lar area Of fha surface while Tho
vitality of its nerve is diminished by
mechanical depression. A small jet OF
air, playing continually on a limited
space, will give some representative
individuals a severe "cold. ."--LOndon
