ONLY ONE SERVICE A YEAR.
The story of a Curious Little Church
on an English Hilltop.

There stands upon a hill in the village
Of Uphill. in the County Of Somerset,
saws London Tit-Bits, a small and very
old church. which is surrounded by caves
in which the bones of all kinds of ami
mails have been discovered. This historic
place Of worship, which looks down upon
Uphill Castle and the village itself. was
at one time the only place OF worship for
miles around.
For several years no Sunday services
have been held within its walls. and the
only time that the public is allowed to
worship there Is one night In the year
on Christmas eve-when the vicar Of Up
hill or some other clergyman dictates
There is a foOtpath leading up the hill
to the church. but as the hill is a very
steep one and the distance great very
few people visit the church It is by
order of the ecclesiastical commissioners
that It is opened 10 the public once a
year.
Curious stories are told regarding this
interesting ediice. one of which is to the
effect that the church was purposely built
on the top of the hill so that the preacher
could feel convinced Of the sincerity OF
the faith Of those who accomplished the
task Of climbing to it. The church has
been visited by people from all parts OF
the world. It is the only building In
Engiand-probably Ia the world-in which
divine service is conducted only once
year.

BAGGAGE SMASHER
His Occupation and Methods
Are Passing.
ONLY WEAK TRUNKS BREAK
Devices OF the OIdea Days to stop
the Habit of Trunk SmRshing-One
Boa Constructors - Railroads Re
quire More Cave Nowadays.

In other days" said Mr.. MaeBlink in
che New York Sun, "the story Of what
the baggage smasher did to the truni; was
a hardy perennial. ever blooming anu I'M
failingly appealing. but where is ina;
story now?
In those days when the baggage mas
ter wanted to get trunk down from the
top Of a high pile of trunks he never
lifted il down, but Just pulled It far
enough forward to let gravity get 1t. and
then, with just the right slew on 1t that
It would land on its corner. let it fall.
And then baggage masters used simply
to push trunks out of car doors and let
them fall any way they would, and they'd
tear the straps off trunks lifting on them,
and yank of their handles, all these va
riations Of the baggage story being sup
posed TO be funny and often repeated.
People seemed never to tire of il in
what was perhaps its most favored form,
which told how the brawny baggage
HEAVIER lifted the trunk by one handle and
swung It twice around his head, and then
launched it on it's flight from the station
platform TO the baggage car to land VIC
lently there and split wide open, and scat
ter its contents everywhere. In these
days. indeed. the baggage master was the
baggage smasher, and, always provided
that it was not ones own trunk that was
thus demolished, everybody enjoyed read
ing the stories told about this brawny
mans feats of strength and destruction,
which formed indeed q conspicuous II not
the leading feature Of the comic literature
Of the day. But where are those stories
now?
The Snake Trunk.
They were eked out for a time by bag
gage stories of another sort, dealing not
with what the baggage smasher did to the
trunk, but with what the trunk did 70 the
baggage smasher. There. for instance.
was the story, widely reprinted at the
time. of the circus man who, having his
trunks smashed up TIL he was tired Of it,
finally filed a frail trunk with boa con
strictors and got that checked, and when
the baggage smesher had smashed the
trunk the boa constructors thus released
from It wrapped themselves around and
crushed him.
And there was the story OF the dis
gruntled mining man who finally filed
and checked a trunk full Of dynamite
the baggage smasher who handled that
trunk never handled trunks and more. And
the story Of the humorous traveller who
had his trunk fitted with corner pieces OF
peculiarly elastic rubber, so that when
the baggage smasher dropped this trunk
out OF car door 10 fall on a corner, as
ne was sure TO do the truuk would fyy
Up and hit him under the chin.
But evidently the trunk smashing
story in whatever form, was petering out
when 1t came 10 this. and soon there
after it passed out OF fashion and dis
appeared entirely to be heard no more
from that TO the present time.
Perhaps the people had tired OF II. IS
they DO tire OF all things; perhaps there
was less reason for writing it. Trunks
came to be better made. for one thing:

ally less boIsterous now than we were
then; things that we stood for and
laughed over then We would not stand for
now.
Improved Methods.
I'VE do many things better now. and
one of our many Improvements is found
in our manner Of handling trunks. The
railroads now discourage trunk smash
ing and seek to deliver baggage in the
shape in which IL is received. Not but
that things do happen even now to
trunks, but they don't happen as they
used to.
In fact what with the requirements Of
the railroad company and his own sense
Of the later and higher art Of baggage
handling it is not considered good form
now for a baggage man TO smash trunk.
He still does pull trunks down from the
tops of tall piles and drags trunks from
ear doors and from the tails Of wagons,
but no longer, as rule, 10 let them fall
on their corners.
Now when he pulls down or drops a
trunk he so manipulates It in falling as to
make 1t drop not on a corner. but squarely
on its end. This stirs the contents Of the
trunk up pretty well. and it may strain
the trunk more or less. but dropping it
squarely on the end distributes the strain:
it doesn't smash the trunk as trunks
were smashed in the old days when they
were dropped on their corners. In the
present day development of the art Of
trunk handling to smash any but a very
weak and fragile trunk would be con-
sidered bungling.
so times have changed and the old
story no longer goes. The old Zines were
brought back to me yesterday by seeing a
trunk fall off a baggage wagon into the
street, a sight. I confess. that was joyous
to see.
But I suppose It is better as it is"

SENSE OF SIGHT IN ANTS.
Experiments Indicating that They
Don't Depend on Smell.

Experiments Indicating that They
Don't Depend on Smell.
The old theory that ants could not see
and were guided entirely by sense of smell
has been demolished by q series Of expert
ments reported in the Revue ScientihQue.
a little platform Of cardboard was set up
near one Of their nests with Inclined plane
leading conveniently down to the en-
trance. Then number of the insects and
a quantity Of their eggs were placed upon
the platform.
For a few minutes the ants seemed
greatly perturbed. but they very soon
found the inclined plane and at once
started carrying the eggs down it to the
nest.
A second inclined plane was located
on the opposite side Of the platform. but
they took no notice of It. The expert
mentors then twisted the platform around
so that the second plane pointed TO the
nest entrance.
Without hesitation the ants ceased using
the old plane ana took TO the new one.
showing conclusively. il Is argued. that
they were not following a trail by scent
but were getting their bearings by some
other sense.
The next step was TO mark some OF the
ants with 4 view to seeing whether each
Individual always used the same path and
the same entrance to his nest II was
found that no such thing was the case.
They all seemed to know all the en-
frances and TO have a sense Of their di-
rection. They struck out new paths for
themselves, and always reached their
destination without fail This was re-
garded as establishing some form OF
visip1.
Finally an electric-Iight bulb vas set I'D
near one entrance to the nest. It seemed
10 have an immediate attraction for the
ants, as they unanimously used the en-
trance on that side coming to and going
from the nest Then it was changed over
TO the other side, causing great excite
ment apparently among the insects. which
ended in their changing over to the newly
illuminated way.
Changes in the brilliancy OF the light
seemed to have no perceptible effect on
the ants but they never failed to detect
the change Of direction. All possible pre-
cautions were taken to prevent the heat
from the lamp from reaching them. so
that It is regarded as certain that thew
perceived the light
