Nor is it right TO sleep for some time

is suspended. The food remains in
the stomach and undergoes improper
changes, digestion is deferred till the
sleeper wakens, and then takes place
imperfectly. Indigestion and night

The art Of bell founding Is undoubted-
iy Of great antiquity. The Saxons are
known to have used bells in their
churches. although probably but small
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing at
the end Of the seventh century. alludes
to them in terms which seem TO show
that they were not unfamiliar things.
The towers Of the Saxon period have
belfries Of considerable dimensions In
most cases, and at crowland abbey, in
South Lincolnshire. there was famous
peal Of seven bells many years before
the Norman conquest.
The monks at that time and for long
after were the chief practitioners Of the
art Of bell founding-which indeed Is one
Of the many things those well abused
men have handed down to us. Their bells
were rarely without inscriptions, often
in very bad Latin, containing perhaps
some obscure joke, the point of which is
quite lost. More often they were Of a re-
hgious nature, sometimes, we fear, not
unmixed with dash Of superstition, as
when the bell declares that its sound
drives away the demons Of the air who
caused pestilence and famine. lightning
and thunderstorms.
As rule, unfortunately they put no
dates on their bells, defect which has
been in some measure overcome by the
researches Of many enthusiastic campa~
biologists, but which is likely to keep the
early history Of bells shrouded in dark
ness for long time to CONS. Gentle

THE LATEST ACRoBATIc TRICK

Diving Ento Seven Feet of Water
From a Height of Eighty-Three
Feet.
| There is now performing at the Royal
Aquarium, London, an acrobat whose
thrilling feats casts all previous ones
temporarily in the shade. The acrobat
is Tommy Burns. and he dives from
small platform near the roof OF the
great building into tank eighty three
feet below, which has depth OF water
to receive him Of only seven feet Here
is a description of this new sensation
from the Pail Mall Budget:
after sufficient time for working up
the thrill had elapsed Tommy Burns
made his appearance on the stage, look
ing a very pretty fellow in his blue
tights and fiesh-colored jersey. On
his breast he wore a garment consisting
principally Of the gold and silver
medals he has won in swimming and
diving contests. The crowd had good
look at him, while the inevitable lect-
urer gave a few personal details Tom

II stone 4 pounds. The height of the
platform was 33 feet; the tank was IS
feet lcng by 9 feet wide and feet
t.eep. When this was over Tommy
stepped down from the stage and had
a look at the tank. Then he hung on
| to rope and was hauled up to the plat
form. That was the thrilling time,
when looking up from below he could
| just see the points of his toes showing
on er the edge of the little platform.
Then he stopped down into crouch
| ing position There was silence like
the sound of snow falling. Then his
body came topping forward, and lit
| tie suppressed "Oh'' represented Hilda
Wangel's piercing shrek as the master
| diver came down through the air in
a graceful curve, with his legs over his
back. He seemed at first Us though
| he were going to strike the water dead
straight. But this is precisely what he
did not do. For as he came down bis
legs came further over, and when he
| struck the water it was with his Shout
| ders. exactly as the diving acrobat
| strikes the net. The effect was almost
| as though he had fallen fiat on his back,
for the rest of his body came smack
| down on the surface as soon as his
shoulders met the surface. Some Of
| those who were pressing round got

Sioux chief, Sitting Bull, with a small
party of Indians who were ell route to

of 'tenderfeet' who had never yet seen

lous prices for seats
Sitting Bull and his warriore were on

split was thrust small piece of look

the mirror up before their eyes and
took careful survey Of the audience
behind them. This enabled them to- see
what was going on all over the house
without shifting their position The
closing feature Of the programme was
an act performed by female trapeze
