LAST OF THE DARLING FAMILY

PauPer.

Brother of the Famous Grace Now
PaUPer.
The news will be received with some
surprise, not to say disappointment
that the only surviving brother of the
famous Grace Darling is now paupeT
in receipt of parochial relief, says the
Westminster Gazette. George A. OAR
ling, the last of the family, is an old
man, and though once fairly prosperous
has, through the failure of the poor
fishermen of Seahouses, North Sunder-
land, where he lives, fallen into such
poverty as to necessitate his receiving
relief from the parish rates. The old
man adds to his scanty living by selling

interior Of the church whprn IL still
lies, weather beaten and rain worn
Very curiously, the roof of the tran
sept in which the original ef1gy is pre-
served has just given away and is de-
clared unsafe. The outside monument
some Is years or so ago was restored
and new efigy placed beneath the
stone arcaded canopy, but in the great
storm of four years ago the canopy was
blown down and the second effigy de-
faced. After lying in ruins for some
two years new canopy has just been
erected and the recumbent figure of
Grace Darling repaired. The coast is
a wild one, but there has been some
thing strangely fatal in the fortunes
of the tombs of once whose praises
once rang through Europe. Far worse,
however, than any ruined monument
is the cold neglect of the heroine's last
surviving relative. Surely" says the
correspondent who sends us these par
ticulars, something should be done to
brighten the eventide of the life of one
so closely associated with a great Eng
lish heroine"

Not Improved BY the Use Of Gold On

Not Improved by the Use OF Gold On
silver in the Metal.
There is general belief that the
introduction Of silver or gold in the
casting of a bell assures for it a supe-
rior tone, but an expert in founding
bells says in the Church Economist
that such belief is erroneous. He
says that the best tone effect in bell
metal is confined within very narrow
limits, for any so- called bell metal
having more than so parts copper to
20 parts tin is too soft to produce the
best quality of tone, while that hav-
ing more than % parts IN the 100 Is
much too brittle. There are bellies in
Europe whose clear tones were for
many years credited to gold and sill
yer that were supposed 10 have been
added to the bell metal. An analysis
was made not long ago of the metal
in one of these bells and it failed to.
show any trace of gold or silver. The
old German bell founders used to make
their bells of 80 parts copper and 20
parts tin. In the opinion of this ex-
pert the strongest and best toned bell
is obtained from IS parts copper and
81 parts tin. after the bell is
drawn" says the expert, two sweeps
are made and adjusted to an upright
| spindle in the center of an iron case
or flask, the flask having perforations
| all over it. Over the surface of the
! flask is coated-wet-a layer Of loan
of equal and suitable thickness and
/ Il, t.
on and baked, and so on, layer after
layer, until the proper shape, etc., is
secured. There are two such iron
molding cases, one fitting over the 9TH
! er. The under one has the loam coat
ing on its outer side, which has the
inner shape of the proposed bell. The
upper iron molding case or flask has
the loan on it's inner surface and
forming the outer shape of the bell;
this is let down over the under mold
and carefully adjusted equally all
around, leaving a space inside between
the two molds. The under flask is
called core The space is filled up by
| the molten bell metal, which, when
cooled, is the bell When the bell is
taken out of the molds it is polished
and then the hangings, tongue (ol
clapper), etc., fitted to the bell, and il
receives a severe ringing test, partly
to ascertain it's tone and resonant
quality, and to observe its mechanical
excellence and adjustment. Then, II
it appears to be good in all points, II
is shipped to the purchaser. The max
ing and shipping of bell usually re
quires from ten to fifteen days in the
smaller sizes. The larger sizes, /. g.
from 800 pounds and heavier, require
more time A peal of three or more
bells requires from forty to ninety
days time, while chime of nine OF
more bells requires from three to si1
months. Any foundry can, of course
readily make and select nine or ter
bells in tune for chime, but tune IL
one thing, tone is another"

Has Catamounts for Pets.

Mrs. Helen Link, who resides at the
foot Of reversing mountain, near
Reading, Pa, has two catamounts for
pets. They are about full grown, are
allowed to run at large, and never
harm anybody. They and their family
dog get along very well together. They
frequently roam over reversing noun
tain, but always return.
Mrs. Link found them in hollow
tree near Joanna Heights about a year
ago, while she was out hunting. They
were but ten days old and SIS playful
as kittens. One is named Nancy, and
she is striped like a tiger. The other
is Josie. somewhat larger.

Reason Why a Lawyer Oouldn't Tell One
Animal from Another.

Animal from Another.
From the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat: An ambitious young lawyer
paid his first visit to a country court
holding its session not far from New
Orleans not long since. He went to
represent a big railroad in a suit
brought by countryman to recover
the value of an OK, which departed
this life in a vain attempt to hold
up the limited mail. Tho question be-
fore the court was one of identified
ton, and the countryman had testi-
fed that he knew the OK by it's color
and the flesh marks. The young city
lawyer rose and with dignity said: II

question that this witness has sworn
falsely when he testified that an OK
can be recognized by his color. was

Judge, land l will fine"
"Hold on, Judge" said the clerk;
"there hain't been but one yoke of OK

Henley's been a-haulin' wood, and the
lawyers been counting the same oxen

Judge, and the city lawyer, glad to es-
cape the wrath of his honor, took his
departure. sadder but wiser man.

rhe Rlrds, Rnlanoe OF Iower.

In a recent lecture Pro-. Wilmer
Stone Of Philadelphia cited Inany facts
to show that birds are natures great
check on the excess of insects, and
that they keep the balance between
plants and insect life. Ten Thousand
caterpillars, it has been estimated,
could destroy every blade OF grass on
an acre of cultivated ground In thir-
ty days from the time it is llatched an
ordinary caterpillar increases 10000
times in bulk, and the food IL lives and
grows on is vegetable. The insect
population of single cherry tree in
tested with aphides was calculated by
a prominent entomologist at no less
than 12,00O,OOO! The bird population
of cultivated districts has been esti-
mated at from 700 to 1000 per square
mile. This is small compared with
the number of insects, yet as each bird
consumes hundreds of insects every
day the latter are prevented from be-
coming the scourge they would be but
for their feathered enemies.

Use for old Gold.

One of the most sensible "fads"
among the girls just now is to save up
all their old jewelry, old gold thimbles
which have the tops worn off, gold fob
chains, gold bracelets, and pins, and
even necklaces, and take them to some
reliable jeweler, who will either melt
them down and make what she wants
out of them, or else will exchange
them, allowing her for the weight Of
the gold. One girl made collection
: for several years of boken bits of jew
elry and, with some Of her grandmoth-
er's added to them, sold them to her
own jeweler and now is the happy
possessor of a beautiful pearl necklace
which she got in exchange, = Harpers

Surprising Results Of Experiments Made
by Noted british scientist.


by . Noted British scientist.
How long does it take a man to
think? Professor Richet, at the recent
meeting OF the British association,
gave the results Of his Investigations
into this subject. He found that by,
mentally running up the notes of the.
musical scale for ono or mere eetages
and then dividing the total time by
the number Of notes thought of, the
time taken for each note was one
eleventh of second. There are va
rious ways of arriving at conclusions
as to the amount of time necessary for
realizing any physical sensation or
mental impression. If the skin be
touched repeatedly with light blows
from small hammer a person may.
according to Professor Richet, distin-
guish the fact that the blows are sep
arate and not continuous pressure
when they follow one another as FREE
quently as 1000 second The SMALL
est intervals of sound can be much
better distinguished with one ear than
with both. Thus the separateness Of
LAO SAASAA9 VI q 4A4E bOObAACu NIAGCA
was noted by one observer when they
did not exceed sixty to the second, but
using both ears he could not distin-
guish them when they occurred often
er than fifteen times a second.
The sharp sound of the electric
spark of an induction coil was distin-
guished with one ear when the rate
was as high as 500 to the second. Sight
is much less keen than hearing in dis
tinguishing differences. If a disc half
white and half black be revolved, 1t
will appear gray when its revolutions
exceed twenty-four per second. 1t has
been found that we can hear far more
rapidly than we can count, so that II
a clock-clicking movement runs faster
than ten to the second we can count
four clicks, while with twenty to the
second we can only count two Of them.

eral completed but detached sections OF
a big ditch.
Mr.. Brick Whalen, the contractor on
section No. 8, had finished the heaVy
work there, and was preparing TO
move camp to section No. when the
company went broke. 1t was, in fact'
upon the very day the suspension was
posted that Whalen, having tad his con-
tract work inspected, took the engln-
eer's certificate up to headquarters TO
get his check. He received instead
statement that the company was IN
temporary difficulties and an assur-
ance that it would soon resume.
Whalen had before this worked for
shaky corporations; he knew better
and lost no time in acting on his
knowledge.
''No good howlin' over a broken pipe
or tryin' to save the pieces" he told
himself. To his gang Of twenty men
he said: 'B'ys, the companys broke,
and so am 1. can't pay We, and l
can't feed We. You got to rustic"
whats the matter with us taking
the mules?" said one.
Them mules and scrapers don't be-
long to me, as I've often told We" said
Whalen, whose custom it was to refer
to legendary hacker. "This ditching
outfit is the property of Martin, OF San
Francisco, and any man that NEEDLES
with it will get the sheriff after him.
"I'll take one. just the same" said
Shorty, land tell Martin he can have
him again when my wages is paid.
That's about fair"
A few others took the same view OF
the equities involved, and took mules,
to which Whalen made only wordy
resistance. Most of the men were in
duced to accept orders on the defunct
company for the amount due them,
payable with large interest. "And if
you don't get it very soon, the interest
will double your money" said Whalen,
When the last man had gone, Whalen
went out to the corral and counted the
mules. "Forty-one head; that was a
pretty close CALL" said he.
1t was late in the season to find an
other job of scraping, but the mules
could not live on sagebrush, and were
at once started for the railroad. On
a small stream where camp was made
one night, band of trail sheep was
also camped. Whalen eyed them dis
painfully.

he.
