had always lived in perfect accord,
and to whom he had transferred all
his property, had sued for and oo-
tanned a divorce. He wrote to ask
her WHY in the world she had taken
such a step and she replied it was all
mistake. He hurried home to see
about it and found that he was really
divorced. 1t seems that his wife had
EMPLOYED q lawyer to petition the
court to make her a femme sole, and
on the same day another woman had

UNDERGROUND Bells.

A mysterious phenomenon Is Oh
servable at place called Nakous. on
the shores of the Red sea. Here, for
an unknown number OF centuries,
strange, intermittent, underground
noise have been heard. The spot is
some half mile inland, and a long
slope OF sand from the shore reaches
back to it. rising to the hight OF some
800 feet. The place resembles rude
amphitheatre, aud is closed by a low,
natural wall OF rocks. The sounds
coming up from the ground at this
place recur at intervals OF about an
hour. They at first resemble low
murmur, but before long there IS
heard a loud knocking, something
like the strokes OF bell, and which,
at the end OF five minutes, become SO
strong as to agitate the sand. The
explanation of this curious phenome'
non given by the Arabs is that there
is convent under the ground, ano
these are the sounds of the bell which
the monks ring for prayers. So they
call it Nakous, which means q bell
The Arabs affirm that the noise 81
frightens the camels when they hea
it as to render them furious. Sclen
lists attribute the SCUM DIS to suppress
