Under the terms of an act of Congress
approved January ., 1901, the Commits
sioners of the District were authorized
and directed TO close portion of the al
ley in square 169, abutting upon the prop
erty of the Washington Y. NJ. c. y. This
action was to be taken upon the request
of the Y. NJ. c. a, who were directed to
pay for the land to be conveyed TO them
after the closing of the alley a sum equal
to the assessed value Of the property at
the last assessment.
In pursuance of the closing of the al
ley in accordance with the provisions OF
the law, the Commissioners requested
from the Assessor a few days ago a
statement of the amount to be paid by the
association. The Assessor has now adj
vised them that under the terms of the
law the association must cover into the
Treasury of the United States the sum of
81 i,34750 the value of the land, accord
ing to the last assessment of 50 cents
square foot.
The Assessor recommends that the Sur
veyor of the District be directed to desig-
nate the alley so closed by number with
a view to the correct listing on the rec
ords of the Assessors Office.

. Queer Turkiah Eish.

HApril 10 is the great fete day Of "Ba-
lukli," or place Of fishes. This is a
small church situated outside the walls
of Constantinople, and it enjoyed no
particular reputation before the con-
quest Of Constantinople by the Turks.
At the time Of the invasion, however, q
monk was cooking some fish there
when messenger came and told him
that the Turks had entered CONSTANT
nople. The monk did not believe the
story and said he would sooner believe
that the half cooked fish would jump
back into the water. AS he spoke the
fish jumped back into the water, and
since then the place has had great
reputation for it's healing powers.
A church has been built over the
spring dedicated to "Our Lady Of the
Fishes" and on this day regular pill
grimage takes place from all parts Of
the town. Many sick are carried thith-
er, and many miraculous cures are re-
ported. The truth Of the story is proved
by the presence in large marble lined
tank in the church of the lineal de-
scendants Of the half cooked fish. Any
one who does not believe has only to
look in the water, and he will see them,
brown on one side and white on the
other, swimming about at their ease.

The Legend OF a Bell.

The largest hanging bell in the world
is in Buddhist monastery near Can
ton. 1t is IS feet high and As feet in
circumference and is of solid bronze.
Canton has q pretty little fable con-
nected with 1t. The story Is told by
Mrs. ]. P. Newman In one Of her
sketches of travel. The life Of the
founder Of the greatest bell of China
had been threatened by the emperor
because Of his unsuccessful attempts
to make bell having perfect purity
of tone. The bell founders beautiful
daughter, witnessing her fathers
agony while imploring the emperor for
one more trial, consulted the gods as
to the reason for failure. Being told
that should the blood of a fair maiden
mingle with the bell metal the result
would be secured, she, waiting beside
her father until able to see her face in
the molten ore, plunged in and was de-
stroyed. To the sacrifice Of this maiden
the Chinese attribute the beauty and
sweetness Of the tone of the great bell
