About Bells.

There is scarcely anything with
which we are more familiar than
bells, and yet they are a product of
the Christian era, the first authentic
mention of bells of any size being
about 400 A. D. 1t is true that in
Exodus XIII 81, bells are spoken of,
but they were probably only small
tinkling ornaments attached to the
high priests robe. Layard, in his
explorations of the ruins Of Nineveh,
found some objects which he believ-
ed to be small bronze bells. Church
bells were introduced into France
about $50 A. D., and imported from
Italy to England about $50. In the
eleventh century a bell weighing
$500 pounds was looked upon as a
monster, and it was not until the six
teenth century that the Amboise bell
at Rouen, France, was cast, weighing
$4,000 pounds. The great bells of
the world are: The great bell of
Moscow, least in 1873, but left in the
earth for l03 years. height 10 feet 3
inches, circumference so feet 9inches,
thickness 2 feet, weight 100000
pounds; the second Moscow bell,
Largest in use in the world 256,OOO
pounds; the Pekin (China) bell 10000
pounds; the Marking bell, $4,000
pounds; the Vienna bell, $4,000; the
Notre Dame Paris bell, $4,000; the
Cologne Cathedral bell, 50O0O The
name is derived from the Anglo Sax
on, bellan, to resound, and is closely
akin to peal. The first peal or chime
of bells in England was the Gift of
Calixtus III to Kings College, Cam
bridge, in 1856 To ring all the
changes possible on chime oftweIve
bells, at two strokes to the second.
would take ninety-one years. The
history of the world has been rung
in and out by bells; its great victories
have been thus celebrated, its great
massacres have been begun to the
sound of bells, and its instructions
that toppled thrones, have been ush-
cred in BY bells. In fact, today the
worlds life and work are attuned to
The sound aof bells. We have the

tai clear mountain stream in it's rocky
bed. After we have descended the
western slope of the mountains, We
pass fields and fields Of hops, severa.
of them swarming with men, women
and children picking the ripe hops.
AT few minutes OF two in the
afternoon we site Tacoma and Puget
Sound, in the distance we could see
two or three great ships with their
masts looming skyward. Tacoma
has many fine buildings and seems
to be very prosperous; most of the
city is built on quite bluff overlook
ing the Sound. 1t has been very
smoky west of the divide OF the Cas-
cades, so we could not see around
we'll. We have passed through great
pine forests most all day and doubt
less forest fires caused the smoke.
From Tacoma to Portland there is
not much of note except pine
trees, until we reach the
Columbia river. The sun had set by
the time we pulled into Kalama
where the train is taken across by
ferry. Our whole train composed of
ten cars and an engine, and another
engine We're all taken over at one
time. The train was broken into
three sections and run on to three
parallel tracks on the boat. Most of
the passengers came out OF the cars
and promenaded around the boat and
had a fine view of the river. But
some of the passengers, myself in
Guided, went up on the observation
deck and here we enjoyed one Of the
most beautiful of natures pictures.
We swing down and across the river
in long majestic curve. The ex-
haust pipe of the engine gives slow,
hoarse, long-drawn, musilal puffs and
volumes of black smoke pour out of
the huge smoke stacks. Looking up
the river, we can see it extending
away till it is lost to view by bend
five or six miles away. In the fore
ground is beautiful little island.
Looking westward can be seen some
low lying clouds behind which the
sun has lately sunk to rest, and but
few miles over there the boundless
Pacific stretches away. The shores
on either side are low and wooded
and a pretty little village nestles on,
the shore which we have left. But
soon we land and are rushing on to
Portland It is dark before we arrive
there 50 we can see little of it but
electric lights, it seems to cover con-
siderable ground. Here we stop half
an hour and change cars to the
Southern Poetic. As we leave WEI
catch a glimpse of the Willamette
river with the dark outline Of huge
ship resting upon the water.
