There Is a curious custom among the
young Spaniards Of the city Of Seville
On certain fete days, relates tourist,
the young men Of the place have per
mission to ring the bells in the clock
towers Of the cathedral. They have an
ingenious and original way Of ringing
them. While the regular bell ringers
repose these amateurs climb mp on TO
the bells, throw them forward with all
their force and ride upon the bells in
their furious swinging to and fro. We
may imagine what an uproar is pro.
duCed when all the bells of cathedral
are being treated in this manner. Any
man who is able may exercise his skill,
and the duration Of the ringing de-
ponds upon the caprice or the strength
and patience Ct the ringers.
The spectacle is very strange Of the
great bells swinging, with one, two or
more bold ringers hanging from them
in any attitude which seems to them
best adapted TO pushing ont the most
noise In the Giralda at Seville. the
first time | witnessed this, the Clamor
was frightful. When looked up. l
thought at first some unfortunate was
entanglcd in the hell rope, but | soon
found 1t was n matter of sport. Anoth.
er ringer appeared suspended in the air
holding the bell by the ears or the rim
or the wooden framework and follow.

feet, sometimes head, downward. Such
are the daring bell ringers CT Seville.

The man who is content with O
modest average of six miles walking
day scarcely realizes that every -
years he walks distance sufficient to
girdle the earth at the equator.
Startling as this simple calculation
is, he may be excused feeling of in
credulity when he learns that in walk
ing this distance he has expended suffi-
Gent energy to raise our 3S first class
battleships foot high.
1t is calculated that in walking an
average mile man uses sufficient en-
ergy TO raise 171@ tons to the height of
foot, or conversely a ton (of Goals.
say, to three times his own height. The
mere thought Of such feat Insufficient
to deter man from taking the most
modest constitutional.
Thus every year the man who walks
six miles day does sufficient work to
raise ton weight to a height equal
roughly to IL times that of Mont
Blanc, or to raise all the gold current
throughout the world a foot higher
than his own head. A trampo of 1S miles
a day involves as much exertion as the
days work of an ordinary laborer

AT recent meeting Of the interstate
commerce commission in Chicago
sharp contest was developed between
the mlllers and the grain shippers over
the question of relative freight rates on
wheat for export and domestic trade.
The export rate on wheat is now higher
than that for domestic shipment. The
shippers insist that the export ratio
should he lower than the domestic rate.
claiming that it is absolutely necessary
IN order TO move the surplus out Of
the country to Europe, and that if the
millcrs used all the wheat produced
here they would arbitrarily fix the
price. The millers in turn contend that
a lower export rate on wheat would
glN9 an advantage to foreign millers
ard also place the domestic millers nj
disadvantage in buying grain. The
controversy Is regarded as one Of the
most important with which the com
mission has had to deal but it is diff
cult for the uminitiated to understand
why tn" rates for the transportation Of
wheat should not he the same whether
u Is 10 he ultimately shipped to Europe
or 10 be consumed in this country.
