A curiosity of great antiquity is still to be seen within St. Andrews church, at WilloughtC.n, near Gainsborough, says a Sunday magazine. This is a quaint speaking trumpet, with an ob- scure early history dating back to the times of the Knights Templar. In shape it resembles a French horn, and is more than five feet long, having a bell at the end of the graduated tube. It was formerly six feet in length, but is now telescoped at the joints where the metal has apparently decayed. Tradition declares it was formerly sounded from the tower to summon aid in case of need, as when blown al height the weird, deep notes the trum- pet produced could be heard at a great distance away in bygone days. It is believed that this curious instrument has often been used to call toget ther the villagers, thus dispensing with the usual bell, and to give additional power and strength to the choir, being prob ably used by the chief singer, as the trumpet intensifies vocal sound to a marked degree.-St. James Gazette.

CURIOUS MODE OF NAVIGATION
R0ats ON the River Elbe in Germany
! Are Wound Up and Down Stream
! by a Chain.

Propulsion for boats is secured in
AN odd manner on the upper Elbe, in
Germany. A heavy chain of peculiar
construction lies on the bed of the
river, and reaches from Melnick, in b.
lhemia, down to Magdeburg, distance
of 200 miles. The system was once
in operation as far as Hamburg, but
lit has not been in service there since
1898. That section of the river is so
broad and fiat, and the current so slow,
that the chain does not possess the
advantage which it has further up, says
lthe New York Tribune.
The chain is practically motionless.
1T does not behave in the same way that
IA cable does on cable road. The
fboats grip this chain, but use it as
IA man would pulling hand over hand
ON rope whose end was fixed. They
draw the rope in over their bows and
pay it out astern. 1t is so heavy that,
except Immediately in front of and
behind the boats, the chain sinks to
the bottom. In the middle of each
boat there is huge drum around
which the chain makes three turns,
ion its way from the bow to the stern,
when lifted out of water. A steam en-
CINE slowly rotates the drum. The
latter is geared in such way that it
will run faster when the vessel is going
down stream than against the cur
rent, because the same amount of
power will then be more effective. Oc-
casionally boat has an ordinary
screw propeller in addition to the
drum, and thus has double provision
for movement. Speeds vary from 21s
to three miles going up, and from six
to ~ going down.
Boats that travel up stream and
those that are going down use the
same chain. There is but one. When
two boats coming from opposite direc-
tions are about to meet, one must let
go to allow the other to pass. The
rule is that the one going down stream
shall yield to the other, because it can
manage itself better under the cir
cumstances. The operat ton of letting
go and taking fresh hold is somewhat
complicated. The chain is manufac-
u
tiers long (1,64o to $3.50 feeD and
these are connected by special fast
enings called lock links.
To release itself from the chain, the
boat must temporarily remove one of
these links. To do so. its navigator
must watch carefully until one is pulled
in by the drum. Before disconnecting
the two links, he makes fast to them,
so that they cannot get away, and
comes to anchor himself. Then he
closes up the gap again, and leaves
the chain at the service of the up
bound boat. That having passed, the
downboat reopens the chain, passes
it around the drum again, restores the
connection, and then pursues its way.
These removable lock links are also
used for repairing an accidental break
in the chain. For one boat to pass
another requires from Is to 80 min
utes.

OYSTERS BUILD ISLANDS.
Some Have Been Found in Beaufort
HarbOr, N. c., Which Resemble
Coral Work.

DR.. Grave, of the United States fish
commission, has recently been studying
the island found in Newport river and
Beaufort harbor in North Carolina,
says the Fish Trades Gazette. The
islands, which are in various stages of
growth, are shown to be built up of
generations upon generations of oys-
sters, and appear to grow invery much
the same way as the coral islands of
the Pacific. The original reefs grow
across the river, and the reason of
that is because the swift current keeps
the edges clean, and thus makes ia
vorable surface for the attachment of
the young spat. In course of time. by
action of wind, waves and vegetable
growth on the accommodating genera
!tion of oysters, the reef eventually be-
comes established as an island.
Islands of oysters are by no means
rare. There is every reason to believe
that the islands at the mouth of the
Tagus, in Portugal, owe their origin
to reefs of oysters. The mouth of the
River Tagus is comparatively narrow,
OoU Oub lhlO d Ndsb
pond several miles wide, and in this
pond immense deposits of oysters of
the well-known Portuguese variety ac-
cumulate. The area is studded with
reefs of these oysters formed of gen
Grafton growing upon generation with
here and there islands which were no
doubt formed in thesame way as those
in the Newport river, q. S. A.
1t must not be considered that the
Tagus basin is in fossilized condition
Oysters flourish there vigorously
Considerable quantities were brought
to England every year and relaid in
beds for fattening. 1t is said that 1O0.-
100000 could be taken from these beds
annually and their absence be hardly
noticeable, so abundantly do they
flourish.

THANKFUL FOR MOTHER.
A Thoughtful Son Furnishes nm Ex-
ample Which Is Well worthy
of Emulation

Mother looks just as young as she
did when you saw her and better
than ever" said a young man, in an
swer to my question as to the welfare
of his mother, writes Susan Teall
Perry, in an exchange. 1t had been
many years since l had looked into
that mothers face, for we had drift
ed in different directions, but l re-
membered her as young mother
with a family of little children, and l
had noted her sweet devotion to their
interests and her patient ways in her
daily ministrations to them in the
home. | had not seen this mothers
boy since he was her little cavalier
in far-off town in the west. l had
congratulated her on having a boy so
thoughtful of the little things that
go to make mothers daily routine
so much happier and lighter. l was
glad to find that, with the growth
into manhood, he had still kept up
that beautiful way of thinking all the
while of something to help and cheer
mother.
Il see that mother gets vacation
every year before l take mine," he
added, with bright smile on his
face. This year she has been east
to visit her old home and the friends
she knew when she was girl and it
has done her lots of good"
"The same mothers boy as ever" 1
said. What a blessing you must be
to her. She has thanked God very
often for giving her such son, 1
know"
I've thanked God many a time for
giving me such a mother" he re-
Joined. 1T is a great blessing for a
boy to have good mother such as l
have, and | want to do all can for
her, because she has done so much
for me-
"That is the secret of her looking
SO young and being better than ever"
l thought. There are many, many
children in the world, and most of
them love their mothers very dearly,
without doubt, but they are not
thoughtful of them. They take it as
matter of course that mother
should do for them, even if she is
weary, and they often try her and
vex her in many ways, instead Of
making the days of her toll easier
and happier for her.
By cultivating this beautiful char
acter in childhood of being thought
full of mother, the boy will not neg
lect his mother when he goes out into
the world to make place for him
self. The interests of mother will al
ways be in his mind. He will not for.

but ! never thought of it," said a
young man, after his mother had
passed away. He loved his mother,
but he was not thoughtful of her un-
til it was too late.

tention of her boys, even if they have
grown to manhood-to her they are
her very own just as surely as when
they were little children in the home

The Octoraro Stream.
BY 1. R. t.


Down from its northern forest source,
Flowing on by wildwood hills and vales
Southwark in its meandering course,
On through autumn frosts and winters gales
Along its shores the Indian had his home,
And ranged his forest hunting ground,
Where he was ever free to live and roam
Except his implements no trace of him is
found.
Ever on, thou winding stream, will thy waters
glide,
And thy Indian name forever cling to thee,
Mingiug with the Susquehanna's tide,
Till lost at last, in the deep blue sea.
Still his memory lives in other hilsand streams,
Where he ranged the wildwood shore,
Or sat beneath the moons bright CLEANS;
But he will tread those hunting grounds o
more.
Alas the poor Indian, exiled from his native
home,
To the wildwood distant regions of the west,
Along the Pacifc's eastern shores to roam
And there to end his days in peaceful rest.
