NOISE NU,sANcEs.
Some Early Efforts Toward Their Sup
preston.
From the New York Times.


IT is so quiet uptown now that the
patient listener ma now and then
catch some OF the softer noises of the
world, said a semi-invalid lawyer who
spends most of the day sitting by the
open window of his Harlem fiat.
u have naturally taken a great deal
OF interest in the present crusade
against unnecessary noises, and have
been reading up on sporadic attempts
to suppress Them" he continued. The
the reign OF George III, when a circus
banG was silenced by injunction on the
ground that its noise was a nuisance.
In another old English law report it
because a flock of wild ducks was
frightened by the persistent firing Of a
gun. The learned judge held that this
constituted q public nuisance and was
a prejudice to private rights. In Geor-
gia gathering in a noisy way at a
pigeon shooting has been judicially de-
clded to be a nuisance. A North Car
DINA court held thai the stamping
horses in a livery stable near the plain
tlFs dwelling was sufficient annoy
ance to e11title him to damages.
Even the noise incident to an ordi-
nary business roa be a nuisance. A
gold beaten pelting a thin sheet of gold
into shape, h %hanl1nering on the anvil
IN the blacksmith shop, the noise OF a
Skating rink. and so on, have all been
held up to be abatable n~uisances
The test laid down In the books is
that any noise which constitutes an
annoyance to Il person OF ordinary SEN
s1bllitN TO sound so as materially to in
teriefe With the ordinary comfort of
life ana lnpair the reasonable enjoy
ment of his habitation. is a nuisance
to him.
1t is within the bounds OF POSSIBLE
ity that in great centers OF population
a new class of experts will arise to
draw salaries from the municipality as
noise specialists. Unusual noises long
undoubtedly induce deafness,
aside from irritating nerves and muir,
derins sleep. At any rate, they de-
stroy a discriminating nfcety in hear
ing, especially in those who have what
is called a musical ear"

Much is said in these days about the
Importance OF training the young to
habits of observation. 1t is well to keep
ones eyes open. but as there are two
sides to every shield, SO there are times
when IT Is not u mans first duty to
see everything that is going on.
A farr-er hired a man. the story goes.
and put him into his field to work.

Temporary Insanity Pleas ignored.

From the Newark News.
Two cases where temporary insanity
was the plea put onward by counsel
for would-be murderers have been
quickly disposed of in court at Cam
den. The first was that OF the man
who shot his wife after she had de-
serted him. His attorney attempted to
show the court that the prisoners
mind had become unbalanced by rea-
son OF his deep love for the woman
and his brooding over her desertion Of
him. But Prosecutor Henry s.. Scovel.
IN arguing for the state. refuted this
claim and declared that the use of a
weapo whether 1t be a revolver or a
knife. gives unmistakab1e evidence of
an intent to take life, and the safety of
the community and public justice re-
qufre that criminals with these vicious
shall be dealt with in such
a manner that they and all Others with
like tendencies shall have a proper
regard for the life OF others"
This latter view OF he matter was
accepted by Judge Joline, who pro
ceeded to sentence the husband to IL
years in state prison.
The second case In which the same
principle was involved was that of a
man who shot at a ~saloonkeeper be-
cause the latter had refused to sell him
liquor, and accidentally II a
policeman. The claim was set up that
the accused. at the time of the shoot
he was drunk. This plea was also
by Prosecutor Scovel on the
same grounds as in the first case, and
the judge imposed a sentence OF four
years at hard labor.
These are instances of Jersey justice
that ought to be more frequent. If the
same principle We're applied in Similar
cases in this state and throughout the
nation, the medical expert would find
his occupation in the criminal courts
gone, and the people would be relieved
OF the necessity OF witnessing such
long drawn out travesties on justice as
the Thaw case.

BELLS IN
WORLDS CHURCHES
Sound of Some Reaches for
Miles and Some Require
Is Men to Ring.

The famous old clock owe ''1'Orre
de Orologia" stands in the north side
OF the Piazzo San Marco, overlooking
h waters of the Adriatic. A huge bell
surmounts the tower, on either side of
which stand two bronze figures which
strike the hours with ponderous ham
nlers, in obedience to the works Of the
gold clock in the tower just beneath,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. The
great bells in the old Church OF st.
tower, in Florence. served as a study
for the artist Blaslllield for his beauti-
full painting of the three angels IN the
belfry, ringing the bells that the joyous
message might be sent forth.
In England for ages past churc bells
sacred in life. Here the bells are loved
for their old associations. Who has not
heard of the famous Bow Church
chimes" OF Cheapside, London? They
date from 1861, and are a final peal of
~ bells in c, their total weight being
nearly IL tons.
The whole bell tower is swayed by
their ringing. and their rich tones vi
brate throughout the entire city. MS it
Is said those Of the bells in the lofty
tower of ST. Ivans do in Moscow.
The Bow bells are famous in london
as the traditional chimes which rang
out the melody of hope to the de-
%spondent prentice boy Dick Whit
tington, as he sat on the milestone and
imagined he heard a summons from
the far away London bell over ito
turn again and become lord mayor OF
London.
Great Peter OF York Minister" an
other monarch bell of the kingdom,

Harry tower" whose eight bells ring
on all occasions, both festive and sol
emn.
"As loud as Tom Of Lincoln" became
a provcrb in England. although this
bell is far from being us heavy as
Tom." OF Lincoln cathedral, was more
widely known and became more pop
ular. 1t originally weighed five and
One-half tons, but when 1t was ecast
in 1886 another ton Of metal was added.
"Old Gabriel is the popular name Of
old Kate" hangs in the tower Of st.
Marks; and another bell at Dewsbury
is familiarly known by the name of
BLACK Tom of Sothill."
The college youths in 1915 took great
delight in the science OF bell ringing,
and 1t is recorded that on Easter Mon
day of that year, at New college, 10,O0S
Grandsire Bob Caters were rung by
them. Those We're the red letter days
Of change ringing in England, when
the church bells We're put through Won
derful revolution and somersaults and
whirled+ upon their gudgeons and rung
In time.
It was the musical peal OF Limerick
cathedral sounding over the broad
stream Of the Shannon one evening as
he listened to them, which inspired
Moore to write:
How many a tale their music tells
OF youth and home M that sweet time
When last I heard their soothing chime.
