SEARCH FOR SHRINE
OF SAINTEO QUEEN
Relics of Etheldreda Believed to
be Buried in Ely Cathedral,
England.
COVERED WITH GEMS

LONDON, Oct. y.
a romantic search for the body Of a
sainted Queen and the marvelously rich
shrine in which It was inclosed, IS about
to be Instituted in the hoary Cathedral Of
Ely.
Nearly 80 years ago. when Henry VIII
suppressed the monasteries and issued an
edict for the removal Of all relics. images
and shrines, Ely Cathedral possessed q
venerated relic Of great value in the Jew
eI-bedecked shrine Of st. Etheldreda. the
Virgin Queen The shrine mysteriouSly
disappeared. and Notwithstanding all their
exertlons the Kings men were unable to
recover il From that day 10 this no one
has seen the relic.
Tradition had il that the shrine had
been placed in some cunningly-devised
hidinEplace within the Cathedral, and
from time to time search has been made
for it. Walls have been tapped. the floor
has been dug UP and numerous likely
places. have been thoroughly explored. But
disappointment has always attended these
efforts
Now a further attempt is 10 be made,
and tie dean. DR.. Stubbs, hopes that II
will be successful. At the southwest cor
ner, in the two angles OF the facade, are
two octagonal towers, with a circular
staircase in each. But while in the west
tower the staircase goes from top TO bot
tom. I'm the east the staircase extends only
from the top to the first floor. Below this
IS apparently solid masonry, and It is con-
jectured that the shrine may be hidden
here.
The shrine was covered with rich gems,
and the silver reHquary blazed with
pearls, onyx. beryl, amethyst and other
stones. The corpse of the sainted Queen
was placed in R saTcOphagus Of white
marble.

BERLIN, oct. Is.
The annals Of German Social Demo-
eracy have just been enriched by an
anecdote from Coburg, where dwells a
harmless widow who keeps an umbrella
stall on the market-place. This widow
advertises her goods oy means of large
red signboard.
y few days ago the Emperor visited
Coburg, and just before his Majesty's ar
rival gendarme appeared at the widows
stall and ordered her to remove her red
signboaTd, as the Emperor and Empress
might take offense at so open a display
Of the revolutionary color.
The widow. who is innocent Of any. as

an assurance from the authorities that
she might replace il after the departure

Remarkable Bells

TUST when bells were first made is not
! recorded in history. The Old Testament
has frequent mention of bells. The Book of
Exodus gave probably the earliest mention
of them in its allusion to the six golden bells
which tinkled around the vestments of the
Levitical high priest Euripides and Aristoph-
anes speak of bells, and Plutarch refers to
them in his hfe Of Brutus, and Ve1gil n his
Georges. Various ancient examples have
been found in excavations in the Far East
There is no trustworthy evidence of the
use of large bells before the dawn of Christian
ity The credit for the invention of them is
given to Paulinus, Bishop of Nola. in Cam
pania. Paulinus lived about 400 \. D. 1t is
claimed, however, by some antiquarians that
the credit should 60 to Pope Sabanus, who
succeeded Saint Gregory in the papa chair
in 6o4.
The earliest bells were probably not cast,
but were made of metal plates riveted together.
One set, which belonged to Saint Gail in $50,
is still preserved in the town named for the
saint in Switzerland and another set, which
tradition associated with Saint Paul, is shown
at Belfast. These are made of iron, and are
only about six inches high
In ancient days, when the art of bell
casting was still in the hands of the eccesiastics,
the furnace and castings were blessed.
Bells were first used in France in $50, in
Greece in 864, and in the churches of Europe
in 900. In Switzerland they first appeared
in 1920. The first tunable set of bells known
in England were first used in Croyland Abbey,
Lincolnshire, in 600.

Japanese Tone Secrets

THE Japanese are said to make the most Won
derfully musical bells in the world These
are used in connection with the Buddhist
temple service, or are carried about the
country by begging priests. They are called
rim, and beyond their graceful outlines and
beauty of metal, at the first glance there is
little to indicate the high value placed by the
Japanese upon these bronze bowls" But no
sooner is the slightest touch applied to their
rims than their extraordinary qualities
revealed and the listener acknowledges that
in the making of bells, in many other arts,
the Japanese possess secrets as yet unknown
in other countries.
The first bell rung in the new world was
swung in the first church built in this hemi-
sphere early in 1904 Columbus landed at
Isabella on the Island of San Domingo, in
December 1903, and soon built church.
Shortly afterward a new city was begun on
the royal plain at La Vega, and was called
La Vega, or the City of the Plains The church,
with its bell and all the other houses of Isabella,
was then moved to La Vega This bell is of
bronze, eight inches high and six and half
inches wide.
The only set of chimes to which historic
interest is attached in this country is that which
peals forth every Sunday morning from the
steeple of old Christ Church, Philadelphia.
These bells were brought from England, a
present from Queen Anne In the Revolution,
when the Quaker City was in danger of falling
into the hands of the British, the precious
bells were taken down and sunk in the
Delaware by some patriotic members of the
old church who feared that if the enemy
got possession of them they would be melted
and cast into cannon-ballS. Afterward they
were drawn up from their watery bed and sent
to Allentown, Pennsylvania, for shelter, and
when the war came to a close were removed
to Philadelphia and hung again in the old
belfry The bells are referred to by Longfellow
in Evangeline Distant and soft on her
ear fell the chimes from the befry of Christ
Church.

Alabama's Heavy Bells

THE heaviest chime of bells in this country
were placed in the Saint Michaels and All
Angels Church, at Admission, Alabama, in
$500 The largest bell weighs four thousand
three hundred pounds the clapper of which
alone weighs hundred and seven pounds.
These bells are said to be of beautiful tone,
and the combination is such as to go far be-
yond the range of ordinary church music.
In the large tower of Morella, Mexico, hangs
a monster bell, which is rarely sounded; but
there are many others of moderate size which
are continually Ginning. All these bells, and
indeed nearly all the bells in the Republic,
are remarkable for sweetness and softness of
tone 1t is rarely that one hears harsh bell
They are exceedingly melodious and pleasing
The chief reason why the Mexican bells are
more musical than many is that they are
artistically made, shaped with reference to
art intelligently manipulated, not mechan-
ically cast without reference to the sound it
shalt produce The great bells are struck with
a clapper and not swung
The largest bell in the world is to be seen
at the temple of Ularo, in kioto Japan. 1t
hangs in a tower on the hill and is said to be
almost perfect in tone. 1t is found by measure
nent to exceed in size the great bells at Picking,
China, and Moscow Russia, which are so
famous. The entire surface of this wonderful
bell is covered with Chinese and SanScrit
characters but no modern Japanese scholar
can translate them. 1t is twenty-four feet
high and sixteen inches thick at the rim.
Where the bell was cast. or by whom, is lost
in the shades of antiquity.
The bell used at Wellesley College, Massa-
chusetts, is from an ancient Buddhist temple
in Japan.
