The Columbian bell which sounded
its prophetic note at the opening OF
the parliament of religions at Chicago
during the Columbian exposition is to
be taken to Jerusalem to sound note
of praise at the close of the nineteenth
century Of the Christian era. The
unique proposition is made that tho
bell shall lie taken to the Holy Land,
and on Christmas eve, 1909, connected
by cable and wire with all parts OF
Christendom, so that the l9O0th an
niversary of the birth Of Christ shall
be celebrated by all the world ut the
same instant.

Railroad Ballasted with silver Ore.

Everyone has heard that mahogany
railroad ties are used very largely in
Mexico, but not many people ara
aware that on one of the lines the ties
are of ebony, and that low grade OF
silver ore is absolutely used for bal

that the ore did not pay to work, but
this does not remove the impression
of lavish extravaganza which the first
glance of this luxurious roadbcd ere
ates. More remarkable still. perhaps,
is the beauty Of some of the marble
used in the bridge construction.
