Bigger Bell than NIoscow,s.

The biggest bell in the world. not
excepting the cracked one OF Moscow,
is in the pagoda of Mengoon, little
north of Mandalay, in India. 1t was
cast about the beginning of the CEN
tury by King Bodawpaya as an accom-
paniment to the huge brick pagoda
which he never finished.
1t is said to have been cast on an
island and RATED across. The weight
is about ninety-eight tons, circumfer-
ence at the bottom 511a feet and at the
top 26 feet. 1t averages more than a
foot in thickness. The bell itself Is
more than twelve feet high, and the
shackle, which was intended for logs
of timber. about ~ feet. The pin in
the shackle has a diameter OF 16
inches.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Evidence OF Former Inhabitants

If the find of Colorado miner be
taken as evidence, there is little doubt
that the human race existed on this
continent as long ago as the time when

tion. -Four hundred feet below the sur
face, a number Of human bones, as
we'll as an arrowhead of tempered COP

silver ore. The bones and arrowhead
must have been lying there before the
ore formed around them, and that

FREEING PULP WOOD OF KNOTS.
The New Machine Accomplishes Better
Results Than the Old Method.

y machine has been patented for
taking the knots and foreign substan-
see out Of wood for sulphite pulp The
freer the wood is from knots and for
eign matter the whittier and better
quality of pulp 1t makes. The old
method was to bore the knots out by
hand auger, but many of the knots
ran crosswise, and could be only be
partially removed. Hand picking of
the knots was also resorted to after the
wood had been Clipped, girls and wo-
men being mostly employed for that
purpose. Very few mills in America
could afford the enormous expense of
hand picking. but in Europe. where
women and girls can be employed for
few cents day, this laborious process
was adopted. In consequence the Euro
rean manufacturers have been able
10 furnish American markets with a
mach cleaner and better grade of pulp
than is manufactured in this country.
But the new machine will clean the
can do 1t in the same time. The
metEod is simple ana costs little. The
wood is prepared in the usual manner
by passing the blocks through the
clipper. The chips are then taken up
by blower and discharged against a
steel plate, which dsintegrates them.
after which they are passed through
the machine which cleans out the
knots. This is tank or vat filed with
water. After entering the water the
chips are submerged by machinery
and taken to "A carrier. The clean
wood chips suitable for pulp float and
are taken out, while the knots and re-
sinous matter sink and are carried
off from the bottom of the tank. The
claim of the patent is for an improved
method of simultaneously moistening
and asserting the clear wood chips for
cooking in the digester.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.
