Xamp Horns.

"This is a vamp horn," said the an
tiquary. THE price is $40"
The horn, very old and weather beat
en-, was over six feet long-long and
straight, like coaching horn.
"What was it used for?" the reporter
asked.
"It was used TO call the people to
church on Sunday mornings" said the
antiquary. "In the olden times church
bells weren't as common as they are to-
day. They were so expensive that only
the richest churches could afford them.
The poorer churches used vamp horns
instead.

'There are about two dozen vamp

A Worm That chew. Iron.

Some years ago the engineers en-
ployed ON the railway at Hagan, in
Germany. were puzzled by accidents
which always occurred at the same
place. The government sent a COM
mission to the spot. 1t was not, how
ever, until six months had elapsed that
the surface Of the rails appeared to be
corroded as If by acid to the extent Of
over hundred yards The rail was
taken up and broken, when it was
found to be literally honeycombed by
thin, threadllke gray worm. The
worm was about two centimeters in
length and about the size of a small
knitting needle. On the head are two
little sacs, or glands, filed with a most
powerful corrosive secretion. which is

The same bailie was trying another

The court was informed that the wit
