Vases in Churches to Help out the Choir

Vases In Churches to Help Out the Choir.
A few years ago about fifty earthenwars
pots, or vases, were found built into tbs
internal surfaces of the walls Of Leedi
church, in Kent, so placed that 1t was i'm
possible to assign any other purpose to
them than that of an intention they should
assist, in some way, the transmission OF
sounds. This discovery drew attention &c
the subject, and other examples vert
pointed out in other edihces. Some that
were observed in St. Nicholas church, bps
WITCH, were noticed TO be one handled
Others, found at different times in three
churches In Norwich, were without han
dies and others with them. Forty found

sixteen met with in All Saints church

in the Church of St. Peter Mountergat
were one handled.

RUNAWAY.


Last evening about 5 o'clock as the Col
lege hilk car, No "a, was coming in it was
run into by team hitched to two-seated
carriage.
Just a little ways east of Chisholm creek,
as the car was running under full head
way, the motorneer noticed a carriage
coming toward them, and besides seeing
that it contained three ladies and gentle
man, paid no attention to it. When close
to the car the team became frightened at
something and Immediately became un-
manageable. They started to cross the
track in front of the car, but the driver
dropped one line, and by pulling the other
he headed the team straight for the end of
the car, but the motorneer saw them and
reversed the power, thereby saving a
wholesale killing.
AS it. was the tongue and one wheel of
the carriage were broken and the harness
badly demoralized, but no one was seri-
ously injured.
The motorneer is new man and is en-
titled to much credit for his promptness
in reversing the car.

Mr. r. 7. Cook was seen at the Carey
last night. Mr.. Cook was in Wyoming
where the rain maker is doing his work.
This one is altogether seperate from the
government experimenters. The man s
name is Milborne. Last Saturday he made
contract to get a rain up in q certain
section of Wyoming, where there had been
no rain for months. His contract provided
the rain must come before Monday night
Not only did the rain maker make il rain
hours before that, but the rain was the
hardest that had ever visited that country.
The Oldest inhabitants do not remember
of il ever raining in that part Of the coun-
try in August before this for years The
people regarded the man and his methods
with astonishment and would rather look
upon it as = sort of a miracle

large, frisky mules. The tugs had become
loosened and the animals were running at

yoke, as the tugs were off, was the farmer
