GIANT SHELLS.
Enormous Submarine Animals,
DESCRIBED BY PROF. CHAS. F. HOLDER

record. and large sharks have been
caught by the shells in the same
way. Some natives at the New He
brides Islands, seeing an unusual
commotion some distance from shore,
went out and found a ten foot shark
beating the water, hurting itself this
way and that, as though held by
some enemy. Approaching, they
found that the big fish was held firm
ly by the tail, the lobe of which had
touched the 1eshy portion of the shell
and been caught.
To excavate one of these giants
often requires the work of several
men for week, as the shell at times
is deeply incased in the solid coral
rock which has to be cut away. One
animal taken was served as dinner
to the crews Of two vessels, affording
a meal to fifty men. One species of
these shells is very common, and is
used as an ornament, while others
serve as receptacles for holy water in
churches and cathedrals.
A fine specimen may be seen in the
cathedral of Notre Dame iii Montreal
and another in the Church of st. Sui
spice in Paris. The natives employ
them as water vessels, and circular
piece of the white shell, highly pol.
ished and worn upon the forehead, is
considered an insignia of rank.
Among the largest bivalve shells
known is the geoduck, huge clam
of the Alaskan coast, that attains a
weight of five or six pounds, one shell
affording food for large family.
The conchs, especially those known
as queen and trumpet conchs, are
among the giants of the univalve
shells, weighing in the latter instance
sometimes twelve neutrality-suspicious.
objects, as they move along on the
sandy bottoms of the lagoons of their
choice.
The method of locomotion among
these large conchs is singular, par
ticularly when observed from above.
The shell reaches out its foot, which
is armed, in the case of the common
strombus, with sharp pointed,
saber-like operculum, thrusts it into
the sand and gives powerful wrench,
which forces the shell along in a
series of jerks. The real giants of
the mollusca are few and are confined
mainly to those described.

Centuries ago.

Rev. Reed Stuart, of Detroit, oc-
cupied the late Prof. Swings pulpit in
Central Music Hall, Sunday, December
2 and preached fine sermon on THE
gate that openeth toward the East. I"
"Lifes Open Gate" was the theme. Mr.
Stuart was formerly Presbyterian and
had charge of church of that denomin-
alton at Battle Creek, Mich. Four years
after Professor Swings notable contro-
versy Mr. Stuart became likewise in
voIved and refused to obey the dictates
of that body. Being averse to conten-
ton he requested the presbytery simply
to drop his name, the charges against
him relating entirely to his alleged
heretical preaching. While pronounced
in theological opinions, Mr.. Stuart
dwelt upon those which he held at vari-
ance with orthodoxy with increasing
rarity. devoting generally his pulpit and
outside efforts toward broad questions
of morals. Eight years ago Mr.. Stuart
accepted call to the pulpit of a Uni
tartan church in Detroit, where he has
lived ever since.

holidays, even now?
"On Christmas eve the bells were rung,
On Christmas eve the mass was sung,
Then opened wide the Bar0n's hail.
To vassal. tenant serf and ALL"
When the white towers of Abbots-
ford rose over the Tweed, and became
Sir Walter SCOTS home, its master
delighted toreproduce the old Christ
mas games and customs of the time
of the barons. The songs of the old
minstrels of the camp and court were
sung; the bag pipes were played, and
the old legends of England and
Scotland were told.
The stories have entered into Scott's
prose works, and the songs of the old
harpers and minstrels, which he loved
to revive ON such occasions have been
made familiar to the world through
his poems, especially through the
clay of the Last Minstrel" and the
Lady of the Lake" The Christmas
days at Abbotsford were a picture of
the past. Scott wrote the "Bonnets
of Bonny Dundee"on Christmas days
Christmas days, we say, for the
old time Christmas was not a single
day, but season. 1t often lasted
from Christmas Eve until Twelfth
Night, the sixth of January, and, at
Abbotsford, from Christmas Eve un-
til Hogmanay.
'Hogmanay?" What is that? 1t
is lost holiday of old provincial
France and England and Scotland.
1t meant son to the mistletoep a cry
of the minstrels and the children in
the old provinces of France on that
merry day. 1t really means 'the last
day of the year." or the end of the
Christmas season.
"Daft Day" it was called in Scot
land, because on that day the people
were at liberty to act as foolishly as
they pleased. 1t became, in Sir
Walter SCOTS time, ehildren's day,
and Hogmanay was the browning
event of the Abbotsford's Christmas
holidays.
Scott was, at this time, at the prime
of life, and was writing "The Tales
Of the Crusaders" He was conceal
ing the authorship of his works, and
was spoken of as "The Great I'm
known" Every one believed him to
be the real author of the Waverly
Novels, but none of his guests could
ever discover how or when he did his
literary work.

There are twelve of these big guns,
four each for the battleships

Indiana. They are the big
gest guns yet made in this coun-
try. The weight, dimensions, etc,
of the gun to be tested this week
are as follows: Weight, $4,000

The New Army Rifle.

WASHINGTON, March l. The
most important event Of tine year
to the army will be the equipment
of an infantry regiment about this
date with the new O:30 calibre
Krag-JOrgenson magazine rifle. A
report received from the COM
mandant Of the Springfield armory
early in February stated that the
armory was prepared to assemble
new guns in large numbers. The
first half-doZen guns were COM
pletely finished and assembled at
that time, and the command.
ant anticipated that by today
a sufficient number will have
been turned. out to equip
an entire regiment. For the first
month or two after today the de-
partment hardly expects an out
put or more than a thousand or so
per month, but after the machin-
lists have become familiar with the
new work it Is thought there will
be no more difficulty in the manu-
facture of the new gun than there
was in making the old Springfield.
The capacity Of the armOry was
about four thousand of the old
guns per month, and 1t is expected
that the new rifles will soon
be turned out at that rate. Any
how, the authorities confident
ly expect to turn out suf-
ficient number Of guns during the
present year to equip the entire
army by January | next, and that
then they can begin to supply the
militia. There has been lively
competition among the regiments
for the homer of securing the first
lot of arms available. The author
tiles are now discussing the mat
ter, and will probably select the
regiment which has the best record
for target practice.
Not only have the ordinance au-
thoritles prepared for the issue Of
the first lot Of new arms today,
but they have also arranged
to supply simultaneously there
with a quantity OF cartridges there
for, loaded with new American
smokeless powder. A contract has
been made with two different firms
for 5000 pounds each of the smoke
less variety. The first delivery
under these contracts has been
made and wOrkmen have been en-
gagged at the Frankfort arsenal in
loading cartridges with this pow
der, which came from the Califor-
mia Powder works.

A Brewery Explosion.

TOLEDO, O., March IA special
to the Blade from Tif1in says:
"At 1920 this morning an eXplO.
sion entirely wrecked Culmbach-
er's brewery with a shock that
was heard for miles. The natural
gas escaped from the high pres
sure main into the cellar and
when Night Watchmann Authory
Meyer entered with torch the en-
plosion occurred. The Wag-
ner residence near by was
badly damaged and the
occupants thrown from their beds.
Heavy plate glass windows were
splintered by the shock two blocks
distant. Though nothing remained
but the foundation OF the brewery,
Meyer crawled from under tho
debris uninjured, except cut on
the head and slight burns on his
face. Loss between four thousand
and five thousand dollars"
