Seville, Spain, enjoy themselves in the
clock towers Of the cathedral. for on
such occasions a curious custom permits
them TO ring tine bells. and they do so
after their own fashion, in an ingenious
and original way.
While the regular bell-ringers repose,
these Spanish lads climb up on the bells,
throw them forward with all their
strength, and ride upon the great masses
OF metal in their furious swinging to
and fro.
Imagine what an unroar is produced
when ell the bells OF cathedral are be-
ms ban- 4 about in this manner Any
young man who is able may exercise his
skin. and the duration Of the ringing de-
ponds upon the endurance Of the
ringers.
The spectacle is very strange Of the
crest bells swinging with one two or
more bold young ringers hanging from
them Ia any attitude which seems to
them best adapted to pushing them The
larthost and beating out the most noise.
In the Girald2 at Seville (says

IS IT A SuRTERFUGE7

The sale, real or apparent, of the N. Y, N. H. & H. electric railroad hold ings in Massachusetts has created a considerable furore in that state. The general belief seems to be, however, that despite the announcement of a sale, the New Haven road is as much i'll control of the electric lines now as it ever has been, that the New England Security Company is a creation of the railroad company for the purpose of warding off undesirable legal complications, and that the entire deal is but a subterfuge, a wheel within 8 wheel. as it were, to evade Massachusetts laws prohibiting the N. Y, N. H. 6 H. Company from owning and operating electric roads in that state.

An instance was cited where one man, ill looking over package of papers, came across a policy issued by one of the now defunct companies and found that his property had been unprotected for several months.
