An ominous crack has just been dis
covered in one of the most famous
bells in the world, the so-caled La
Clemence," in the Cathedral Of st.
Peter at Geneva. 1t is the bell which
was sounded at the "Esoalade" Of the
dark night Of st. Thomas Day, Dec.
21, 1902, when the 5000 Savoyards
made their attack upon the Rome Of
Professionalism" The assailants had
crept close TO the Notifications unob-
served, and had planted their ladders,
the Jesuit m~issioners e~xhorting them
in whispers. "Climb, climb Every
rung of the ladder is a step toward
heaveni" when the loud changing of
La Clemence was heard, calling the
citizens to arms and Geneva was res

The advantage Of fasting for intel.
lectual work IS being exemplifed by a
professor of the West Virginia univer-
sity, who will refrain from eating food
for 80 days, during which time he will
daily deliver his customary lectures to
the class of the summer quarter. It is
the professors idea that the less food
there is in the stomach the more blood
can be drawn to the brain, and that its
action should be superior in every way
to that of a man who is clogged with
food. It will be interesting to watch
the professors lectures daily becom-
ing more brilliant while his weight de-
creases. One a imagine that the
farther he gets to infinite wisdom, un-
I'll, when he arrives at the Both day of
his fast, the thinking world will be
simply dazzled by the intellectual out
burst. If this is demonstrated, all we
need to do to produce a "Thanatopsis"
or a "Gray's Elegy" is to take a com
monplace poet and place him in a cell
for thirty days on a diet of filtered
water.

The American Machinist, Of recent
date says: Mr.. w. c. Leland, a ma
chinist Of Brooklyn, referring to our
inquiry some time ago for a spring
made of a substance which would not
be affected by heat, sends US some
pieces Of mica arranged to act as a
fiat spring, and he says that a mica
spring continues to act as a spring
when exposed to very high tempera-
lures. A specimen he sends us acts
as a spring when held in a gas flame
and continues to so act for a consid-
cradle time-at least as long as our
patience has held out to test it. OF
course, as many layers of mica may
be superposed as is necessary to get
the desired thickness and for ex-
pedmental purposes at least we would
imagine that such a spring may be
quite useful"

Invention Of a Chicago Woman.

else has seen some other women make
an effort to perform the feat. AS a
practical solution Of the question Of
what to do with the umbrella when
not in use and both hands are wanted
for some other purpose this invention
seems complete, and as its use elimi-
mates the possibility of losing an UNI
brella by laying it on a counter when
shopping it win probably be considered
a good investment by ladies who have
met with this misfortune. The device
consists Of a single piece Of leather,
cut to form a straight hanger, with
two staps projecting from either side
to clasp the umbrella at about its
thickest part. The fastening devices
may be either buckles or snap buttons,
though the latter are preferred. The
hanger may be attached to the belt by
the eyelet at the upper end, which is
formed of another snap button secured
in the proper place to allow the point
Of the strap to be folded back on it.

weight to the costume, and it is very
easy to detach the umbrella should 1t
be needed In a hurry. Eva M. Bowyer
Of Chicago, H., is the inventor Of this
practical novelty. {

DRUGGISTS Slams.

The familiar big colored glass
bulbs are gradually ceasing to be a
feature Of the decoration Of druggists

necessary to every drug store as a
red and white pold is to a BARRIERS

has, a well-dehned history. All that
druggists know Of them is that they
have been always used as window
ornaments. The brilliant liquids that
they contain are made cheaply and
plainly Of chemicals and water. Thus,
a solution Of copper and ammonia

makes orange; aniline dyes have Of
