ANCIENT BELL CALLS
TO CHRISTIAN WORSHIP

The accompanying picture shows the
Japanese bell which hangs in the tower
of the Green Ridge Presbyterian church
and which was presented to the church
by Il. b. Sturges. Mr.. Sturges pur-
chased the bell during his recent tour
of the east, and converted to Christian
uses bell that had long called To the
worship of false gods. Ii is not loud,
but particularly sweet toned bell that
attracts attention and comment when
ever sounded.
AS stated heretofore in The Tribune,
the bell is supposed to be nearly three
hundred years old, and for generation
after generation called the faithful to
worship at IA Buddhist temple in Kyoto,
Japan. 1t is of bronze alloy, and much
thinner than the bells of today. 1t will
be observed that the shape of it is also
very much different and that consider
able effort was spent in exterior decor
alton. Seven hundred pounds is the
weight of the bell, and it stands four
feet high.
Because of the thinness of the sides
of the bell, there is rim or fange on
the inside at the bottom, against which
the striker knocks in ringing The str

cE GORGE FINALLY BREAKS.
Residents Along the Allegheny River
Move to Higher Ground.


Pittsburg, March 1.-The great
en- and the ice is sweeping down on
this city. The first break occurred at
Montrose, about $3.50 a. m. and an
hour later the gorge near Sandy creek
broke with roar like that Of heavy
artillery and began to move slowly
down the river.
Caugh. in the swiftly moving ice
packs were two steamboats,, the d. T.
Watson and the George Browdy, with
crew of four. The Watson was re-
ported from Montrose fighting her way
against the heavy ice in the middle OF
the river. II is considered extremely
doubtful whether she will be able to
eurvive. The Browdy is OFF the mouth
Of Sandy creek in IN exactly similar
position.
The residents of the river towns
have been warned Of the approaching

Of the ice gorging again. causing the
river to overflow The water at this
point has only risen about a foot In "a
hours and at 10 o'clock the river was
free of ice, the head OF the gorge not
having reached the city.
Reports at 10 o'clock were that the
Ice had gorged again at Montrose, Six
Mile Ferry and Sharpsburg and that
IL was still intact at Brill station. At
Montrose it is piled 90 feet high from
shore to shore. The Freeport road Is
under two feet of water and all the
houses along the road are partly sub
merged The lower sections of Nero-
