RAISING A BIG BELL.
1t Weighs Ninety-EIght Tons and is Over
Twelve Feet High.

1t Weighs Ninety Eight Tons and is Over
Twelve Feet High.
For some time past there has been
sort of dead-heat between the two big
gest bells in the world, the one at the
Cathedral in Moscow, and the other at
the unfinished pagoda of Mengoon,
India, north of Mandalay across the
river. If the former was the bigger of
the two, it was cracked, and therefore
useless as bell, while the latter,
though whole, has dragged its sup
ports down till it rested on the ground,
and would not emit any sound. Now,
however, it has been reswung, aud can
claim attention as the biggest bell, in
working order, in the world, says Lon
don Sketch.
In 1896 the Burmese community
decided to have the bell raised, and
employed the Irrawaddy Flotilla Com
pany, Limited, to do the work. The
rim of the bell was first supported by
huge baulks of timber wedged in all
round, and tripod erected over it to
fasten the shackle to and keep it up
right. The old supports having been
knocked away, two large iron columns,
twenty-five feet high, cast by the IRA
waddy Company, were erected, with
concrete foundations. A large steel
cross-girder, with distributing girder
on the top of it, was then passed
through the shackle, and the bell was
raised by screwjacks all round aud
wedges of timber, until the cross
girder could be placed on the pillars
and riveted in position. The screw
jacks were then eased and the bell left
swinging, with its lower rim about two
feet ten inches from the ground. The
weight is about ninety-eight tons, the
circumference at the base being 51i
feet, and at the top twenty-six feet.
It averages over a foot in thickness,
The bell itself is over twelve feet high,
and the shackle, which was intended
for logs of timber, about twelve feet.
The pin in the shackle has diameter
of sixteen inches. The bell was cast
about the beginning of the century by
King Bodaw-paya as an accompani-
ment to the huge brick pagoda which
he never finished. 1t is said TO have
been cast ON an island and RATED across.
No proper means yet exist for striking
the bell, but when hit with a heavy
piece of wood it gives out deeT
vibrating boom.

Canada Covets a nToose Head.

Harry NJ. Church, of New Bedford,
Mass, who last October shot the larg-
est bull moose ever seen in New
Brunswick, has just received word that
the Provincial Government at Fred
erickton has confscated the moose's
head and placed it in one of the public
buildings at Fredericton, says the
Boston Herald.
Mr.. Church left the head to be
dressed when he returned home, but
found afterward that the man he left it
with had endeavored to steal it from
him. He secured legal advice and
made a strong fight to secure the head.
Finally the attention of the Govern
ment was called 10 the matter, and, it
being the finest specimen ever shot in
New Brunswick, the antlers spreading
out over five feet and having twenty
prongs, the head was confscated ON
the ground that the animal was illegal
ly shot, and it was thus prevented
from leaving the Provinces. The
moose weighed 1000 pounds.

derivation Of the Name. Of the DAYS.

Sunday is so called, because it was
auciently dedicated to the worship of
the sun. Monday means literally the
day Of the moon Tuesday was dedi-
Gated to Tuisco, the Mars Of our Saxon
ancestors, the deity that presided over
combats, strifes aud litigation. Hence
in England Tuesday isAssize day; the
day for combat, or commencing litiga-
tion. In this country it is generally
the day selected for the opening of
court terms or sessions. Wednesday
is so called from Wodin, or Odin, a
deity or chief among the northern
nations of Europe. Thresday was
named by the Saxons from Thor, the
old Teutonic god of thunder. Friday
is from Frea or Friga, goddess of the
old Saxon mythology. Saturday means
simply Saturn's day, the name being
derived from the deity of that name

sonn rrom sunfower seea..

Those interested in new industries
may be glad TO hear that it is possible
10 manufacture good soaps from sun
flower seeds. Sunhowers grow easily,
and need little attention. A company
has been organized in the United
States to manufacture this sort of soap.
II is claimed that the average yield OF
plants to the acre is 2500 pounds gross;
percentage of oil is one-third the
weight of the seeds, so that 600 pounds
of seed will make 200 pounds of oil.
The latter, when refined and ready to
use in making soap, is worth about
81 a pound, and is said to make the
finest of toilet soaps. The net profit
of the sunfowers to the grower is put
at Sll an acre.

When John Andrews, farmer liv-
ing on Island No. 8, in the lower Ten
nessee, woke up one morning during
the recent high-water experience he
found good-sized house stranded in
one of his fields. Like other struct-
ures carried away by the food, it had
fioated down stream from some point
above to find lodgment in the shadows.
The wanderer was a large two-story
log house, sealed and plastered and
filed with furniture.
One of the results of the food in the
west end of East st. Louis brought
about a novel funeral procession. Will
lam Lorman, plasterer, died. The
street was flooded and neither car
riages nor hearse could get near the
house. The street-car company was
appealed to and responded with two
trolley cars. One was used for a
hearse and the other was utilized by
the mourners. The journey to the
gates of the cemetery was made in this
manner,

Illinois women are making a strong
elEort to lift the compulsory education
law of their State into activity. At
present the law only remains that
every child shall attend school for six
teen weeks each year. Children easily
evade it by an irregular attendance
during the last term Of school. When
the school has closed it becomes diff
cult to determine whether OF not they
have had the prescribed amount of
tuition. Actually, although there is a
penalty for infraction of the law, and
although infraehon is frequent, the
penalty has never been imposed. 1t

ming of the term, and providing for the
