BUNDLES stan

Bundle is disappearing from sacred
places, but his staff, which was his
chiefest pride, remains and is carefully
preserved in the v~estries Of many Lon
don churches. The glory Of the staff
was its knob. Some of these knobs pre-
sent some very elaborate specimens Of
silver carving, for, in addition to the
ordinary plain pear shaped knobs, there
were staff tops representing buildings,
crosses, crowns, m~edalions, statuettes
and various other objects. Some Of these
slaves have a historical interest. The
beadle's staff Of st. Giles in the Fields,
the top Of which lisa figure Of old Time,
with his scythe erect in his right hand,
was used in the church in which Arch
bishop Laud oficiated, in 1928. And
st. Giles, Cripplegate, possesses one
which was presented to the parish in
1693.-New York Herald.

Distinct tides in the atmosphere, cor
responding to those Of the sea and pro-
duced twice daily by lunar attraction,
have been traced by M. Bouquet de la
Grye in the barometric records Of sta
tions removed from powerful local dis
turbancea. The recorded observations Of
Brest, st. Helena, Cape Horn, Batavia
and Singapore give positive evidence Of
a regular ebb and flow according to the
moons position. The effect is slight,
but measurable, the greatest atmos-
pheric tide AT Brest being shown by a
movement Of one-quarter Of an inch in
a water barometer, which is equivalent
to about one fftieth Of an inch in the
mercury barometer. The tide seems to
bear about the same ratio to the weight
Of the atmosphere that the sea tide bears
to the depth Of the ocean.

It was recently ascertained that the
tower Of Darlington church, about four
miles from Pontefract, had suffered
some damage during the winter gales.
The foundations were carefully exam
ined, when it was found that under the
west side Of the tower, only about q foot
deep from the surface, the body Of a
man had been placed in a sort Of bed in
the solid rock, and the west wall was
actually resting upon his skull The
gentle vibration of the tower had opened
the sutures in the skull and caused a
crack of about ~ inches long. The
grave must have been prepared and the
wall placed with deliberate intention
upon the head Of the person buried, and
this was done with such care and art
that all remained as placed for at least
600 years-till, in fact, the storm Of De-
cember last found out the weak place.
The spot can still be seen, being protect.
ed by a framework Of bricks -York.

Edward Holland Of Elizabeth town
ship, near Galena, Ills, went to his
barnyard the other evening to collect
eggs for marketing. On one nest he
found a turkey hen, evidently very much
perturbed, and on q second glance he
found tho fowl was held charmed by a
snake which lay ooiled in the grass be-
fore her. He killed the snake and drove
the turkey from the nest. Then he dis
covered that the egg that had just been
laid was without a she'll, and the mem
brane was drawn out at one end in per-
feet similitude to the body and head Of
the snake. So perfect was the impression
that the eyes and mouth were plainly
discernible. Exchange.

Llvinr stones In FaIkIand.

The most curious specimens Of vege-
table or plant life in existence are the
so called Giving stones OF the Falk-
land islands. Those islands are among
the most cherries spots in the world,
being constantly subjected to a strong
polar wind. In such a climate it is inn
possible for trees to grow erect, as they
do in other countries, but nature has
made amends by furnishing a supply Of
wood in the most curious shape imagi-
nable.
The visitor to the Falklands sees scat
tered here and there singular shaped
blocks Of what appear to DO weather
beaten and moss covered powders in
various sizes. Attempt to turn N Of
these 'bowlders" over, and You will
meet with a surprise. because the stone
is actually anchored by roots of great
rtrength-in fact, you will find that
you are fooling with n Of the native
trees. No other country in the world
has such a peculiar forest" growth,
and it Is said to be next to impossible
to work the odd shaped block into fuel,
because il is perfectly devoid Of grain"
and appears to be nothing but a twisted
mass Of woody hbors. London Ex-
