In England. the Fcns. to the extent of probably moro than 00.oOO.00O acres, have been dikcd and duched. and are now In state of matchlcss fcrtil' ity
 In the Imperial Settlements. the al kali cuts no figure at all. There are iu some places some salt tn the land. but as a rule. the amount improves the quality and fertility of the land rather than otherwise and this post. ,ion Is backed up by the experience of experts above quoted.

HE COU R | E r

Of twelve bells no less than 4I9,O9l, 600
changes can be played. The largest
chime Of bells in America, if not in the
world is in the tower Of the court
house in Minneapolis. Persons living
many miles out Of town are able to
distinguish the tunes played upon these
remarkable bells.
With the exception of the largest or
tenor bell, which is mounted like
church bell and can be rung independ-
entity. the bells in a chime are sus-
pended stationarily from a frame
work, and should be placed just above
the level of the tops Of surrounding
houses. Chains and rods leading from
the clappers are attached by pulleys
and straps to the manuals, which
are in the form of levers, in
appearance not unlike d row Of pump
handles. When struck by the clapper
a bell distinctly changes shape. AT one
moment il is an oval, with its longest
diameter at an exact right angle to lis
longest diameter at the preceding IN
stant. These repeated changes cOnsu-
tute it's vibrations and produce the
tone which varies according to the
size and weight of the bells. The play
ing of a chime IS a purely mechanical
performance. No help can be gained
from the sound, as each note must be
struck before the reVerberatlon or the
preceding one has reached the player 5
ear. The proposed memorial chime to
be placed in the Methodist church IN
this city will consist of ten bells, the
largest weighing 1000 pounds. Similar
chimes have been placed in the old
Vanderbilt church, Staten island, y.
Y; in the Methodist church of Water
town, Mass; in the Trinity church of
Watertown, y. Y, and IN old trinity
church of Newport, r. l. OF the SIX
thousand dollars necessary to secure
this chime ffty-one hundred dollars
have already been subscribed. 1t is to
be hoped that all efforts of the COM
mittee to raise the remaining amount
will meet with an enthusiastic response
from patriotic citizens.
