RANGE Of Notes on church eeIIs.

Saint-Saens, the French composer,
possesses a remarkably acute ear. He
has pointed out that the notes of
church bells contain high notes. much
higher than the usual octaves, and
low notes several octaves below the
fundamental.
This observation has been proved
by the French scientists. At the
Academy of Sciences the experiments
of NM. de Sizes and Massol were
communicated. showing the presence
of these low and high octaves In the
notes of the bells.

town, who like Frederick Barbarossa,
had long and flowing beard:

a section OF the wire he returned to the
house nearly frozen to death. A black
smith took the post away from his
whiskers the next morning!

RemarkabIe BurqIar.Proof Safe.

The most remarkable burglar-proof
safe in the world has just been placed
in a bank at Newburg Island. At night
the safe is lowered by cables into an
impregnable metallic-lined sCb-vault of
masonry and concrete. After reaching
the bottom it is fastened down by
massive steel Tugs, operated by
triple time lock. Until these Jugs are
released automatically at desired
time, no human agency can raise the
safe, and to break in through a mass
of stone and concrete which measures
10 feet by 10 feet by 16 feet with
dynamite would wreck the building
without making the safe available.

Slump in Manicurine business.


Manicuring girls find that their bust
ness, like most others, is suffering as
a result of the slump in the stock mar
ket. But they are still doing fairly
well, thanks to bridge whist. "As long
as folks can afford to play bridge
we'll havee good business" explained
one of the nail ,polishers. Women
who play the game have to be careful
about the looks of their hands, they
are so conspicuous when dealing and
shutting. In fact, the bridge craze
saved the lives of most manicures.
Highly polished nails had gone out
of style, and the business was going
to the dogs when the bridge craze
saved the day."-N. Y. Sun.

Cardinal Newman,s Writings.

After rumors that have been going
the rounds for some years as to the
place that the Holy See would assign

be stated on authority now that the

by the pope's recent encyclical on
modernism.
