THE OLDEST BELL. A

The Patriarch Of Western Hemisphere Changers Owned by 6 .Colored. Church. | The congregation of the African Methodist Episcopal church at Haley vile, N. J., has 8 rare relic in the shape of large bell, which is said by those who have traced its history to be the oldest bell in the western hemisphere, says the Brooklyn Eagle The bell was procured by Capt. Elias Newell on one of the Bahama islands and presented by him to the church.
 It is one of the bells, as stated, which Ferdinand and Isabella placed upon the Alhambra in 1492, and in 15O2 was pre- sented by Queen Isabella to Christopher Columbus upon his fourth and last voy- age to America. It was placed in the chapel which was the beginning of the great cathedral of Carthagena in New Granada. In 1897, upon the siege of Carthagena, it fell to the share of the French ship La Rochelle. Afterward the ship was wrecked upon the island of San Andreas, one of the Bahamas.
 A few of the crew were saved, topeth- CT with the bell. From the descendants of the survivors the bell and its history were obtained by Capt. Newell, of the bark Ezra H. Fisk, of Haleyville. There IS debt of one hundred and ninety dollars resting upon the church at Haleyville, and so highly do the people value the relic-the Columbus bell that they will not place it in the church lest the latter may be sold for debt and they lose the bell, but it is securely kept at the residence of Trustee Alfred Green. It is four hundred years old this year, and it is proposed that it shall be exhibited at the Columbian exposi- IicE.

lrrigating
 canals, bitches
 and Reservoirs.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjection the rise of water in canal, due to an over-abund ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such Water dGre placed in lower bank of canal, at such points along it's line Where there are Ravines, Gullies Arroyos, Foot Hills, Buttes, or Tableland, es any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. The Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is
 SELF-ACTING AND A PERFECT SAFETY VALVE Relieving the canal at short intervals, of it's sur plus water, thus preventing the washing away of banks, and causing great damage generally, no alone to canal, but property owners all :long the line, who may suffer more or less damages there after for the want of-water owing to the damaged condition of canal and while such repairs are being made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of its surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by its use the first cost of canal con- struction will bematerially lesscned as the banks need not be made so high or wide
 The device Is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank, 3, which is immediately filled thus overbalancing the weight, A. which is on the other end of lever, 5, thus forcing open the gate which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below
 
 tank; therefore empties itself by small faucet opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done the weight overbalances tank, and brings down the lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate, closes it. This operation continues at short in tervals, so long as the body of water keeps rising over a certain level The lever, gate pipe and tank are all rigid, and hinge, or pivot, hori- Eontal shaft. The gate, Hume or box can be made any height width, or length desired. The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box
 The Water Gate is a Perfect Safety Valve, and is to body of water what a safety valve is to steam. They can be made any size, corresponding with body of water and size of canal. It is secured by letters patent, and for sale only by

DECLINE OF NEGRO SONGS.
Consequent Upon the Changing Condi
 tlons of the Race.

Consequent Upon the Changing Condi-
 tlons of the Race.
 One of the bad spots in the negro character, which has so much good in it, is that they are undoubtedly not strong in their domestic affections, says the Boston Transcript. The best nurses in the world, they are indifferent moth CTS. Their babies are regarded as in the way, and the mortality among ne gro children proves an appalling care lessness of their lives. Consequently there is not usually deep affection on the part of the children. They leave their parents with the utmost readiness, and an occasional letter is sent, either to ask for money, which they don't get, or to brag of their success. Naturally the younger ones, born in freedom, have a loathing for everything that per tains to slavery. They regard the old slaves with contempt, and because the younger ones can read and write they set the older ones down as too ignorant to be considered, forgetting that they were once efficient workers and aver aged superior in morals and manners to their descendants.
 One of the results of this is the dying out of the rich, melodious negro songs not the songs of the negro minstrel" type, which were totally unlike the real article. This is very great pity, as these songs were wild and charming beyond comparison. In slavery times the negroes were encouraged to sing. The wheat was reaped to the singing of the reapers and the best singer gener- ally headed the row. The ones who could pick the banjo or scrape the fiddle were peculiarly privileged.

Japanese Railroads.

The government of Japan has in hand plans for the construction of fourteen new railway lines. At pres ent the railway mileage of the empire reaches some 1,5OO, of which 994 be- longs to various companies. These, it is said, will be taken over by the state. Formerly the lines were built by British contractors, with material sup piled from the United Kingdom, and were operated by foreign engineers, but now the state and private com panies have their own Japanese engi- neers, and great part of the railway material and rolling stock can be furnished from the national shops at Shinbasi, although there is still room for considerable foreign importation in this line.
