TIE BIG BELL OF MOSCOW.
Too Heavy to Hang In q Tower, II
Stands In the kremIin.


The great bell at Moscow, Russia,
cast In 1858, weighs no less than 19S
tons and is the largest bell In the
world. 1t has much silver and gold in
Its composition. Because Of its great
size and weight it was never hung in
a tower. But at one time 1t was
swung between supports about twenty
five feet in height. Even then it was
tool heavy to be used. 1t was not rung,
but was struck, the clapper being UNI
clasped and used as a striker.
During a severe winter the bell was
cracked. and the part between the
cracks came out. AS 1t had been
cracked In the shape Of IN acute angle
the piece that fell out left an opening
like a Gothic doorway. The bell was
then placed upon the marble and
syenite pavement of the Kremlin. The
opening was really made a doorway,
and the bell became a small but ex-
quisitely unique and beautiful chapel.
1t is used only for prayer. The ring
ing Of the words spoken therein Is of
ar soft, musical, altogether peculiar
sound, producing a weird. thrilling, yet
solemn effect.

HEARTACHE.
BY GRAHAM BOYD.

Literary Press.

Nell noticed the girl as the car came
to a stop. She vas undeniably pretty,
though her clothes were a little too
pronounced In color and cut, and her
hat was distinctly loud" The white
~parasol, however, softened the high
coloring of clothes and complexion and
moved the man In the seat ahead to
the audible reflection that she was a
peach"
There was a trifing delay to the car
ahead, and Nell was about to turn her
attention to the trouble when Vance
Joslin dropped lightly from the rear
end Of the a and approached the girl.
For an instant she seemed to resent
his address, but as he spoke her man.
ner changed, and a moment later they
moved off up the street together. The
man In front remarked to his compan-
lon that "the Johnny had his nerve
with him"
The vulgarity of the remark empha-
sized the shock Nell had felt when she
had seen Vance speak, and with a
crimson face she turned her head
away from that side OF the car that
she might not see them as the car.
now In motion again, overlook them.
She had not e Vance board the
car, and she was certain that he had
not 9 her, else he would have made
his way to her side. They had been
engaged just three days. Only that
morning he had told her over the tele-
phone how sorry he was that a bust
ness engagement prevented him from
asking her to lunch, and yet he had
apparently left the a to take this
girl to lunch
Nell had meant to stop or at the lit
tie restaurant where she had 30 often
lunched with Vance. He would prob
ably take his client there, and he
would have a chance at least to speak
to her. And when one Is but newly
engaged even a word and a look are
worth the while. Now she decided
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1908-09-25

that she did not want any lunch. She
only wanted to get home and have a
good cry.
But she was not permitted to enjoy
this luxury, for at the transfer corner
she ran into a party of her old school
chums. The solitaire told its own story,
and Nell was carried off to a fashiona-
BILE restaurant, there to be the guest of
honor at an impromptu banquet.
AS she entered she gave a start, for,
though Vance was sitting with his
back toward her, she had no difficulty
In recognizing him. and the girl was
u~nmistakable. While she had been
chatting with the girls he had proba-
bly, passed them. His order had been
given
She led the way to a table at the
other side of the room that she might
not be compelled to recognize him, but
the precaution apparently was need
less. When the girls were leaving the
place, Vance and his guest were still
absorbed In each other. Vance was
drinking coffee, and the girl was con-
Stunning highly colored cordials. Nell
led the way from the place. thankful
that none Of the other girls knew
Vance.
The luncheon had been an ordeal for
her. She wished that she had slipped
off the ring when the first impulse
came to her to do so. Then she would
have been saved the humiliation of ac-
cepting n celebration lunch at which
she sat and planned the letter which
she should write to accompany the
ring. AS 1t was. the lunch had broken
her nerves completely. and, hurrying
home. she wrote the fateful letter. then
took to her bed. She was crying her
heart out in comfortable feminine fash
ion when her mother opened the door.
Vance is downstairs and wants to
see you," she said gently. 81 told him
that o were i'll. but he insisted on
seeing you just a moment"
"Ill see him." said Nell, with sud
den determination. Tell him l will be
right down"
She sprang from the bed and began
to dress. While lying there she had
thought of many things to say that
were even more bitter than the things
she had said In the letter, and in her
present mood she wanted to hurt him
as much as he had hurt her. She
wanted to taunt him with his choice
and to see him shrink from her de-
scription Of the girl as seen through a

To Tell AGE and Birth Month.

Tell your playmate to think of the
number of the month when he was
born, January counting as No. l, Feb
ruary as No. 2, etc. Say he or she
was born In August. That would be
No. 8. Tell him to multiply 1t by 2,
giving 16. Add 3, giving 81. Multiply
by 80, giving 1850. Add his age-say
twelve years-giving 1,062. Subtract
365, giving GOT. Add H.. giving S12.
This is the final result, which he must
give aloud. You then without hesitation
tell him he was born in August and
is twelve years old, because the nu-
neral at the left is the number of the
month, and the other two stand for his
age.

Luminous Beetles.

Our little firedies are only as a taper
beside an electric light compared with
luminous beetles found in the West
Indies and parts of South America. If
you were in a rural district of Santo
Domingo, for example, and should de-
sire to read at night you might be sur
prised to have placed or a table by
your side a bottle containing a few
luminous beetles. One of these beetles,
1t is said, viii emit sufficient light to
enable a person to read small print,
while half a dozen of the little crea-
lures will answer the purpose of an
ordinary lamn.

that the inner plate will float and turn
easily. Watch the plate spin and the
figures go around.
This can be turned into a game by
placing a figure outside the plates as a
goal. Each figure inside the dish has
a number, and the game is to spin the
plate. When it stops, the number on
the figure opposite the goal is put down
to that players credit. At the end Of
the game the one who has the most
count wins the genealogical Ex-

Oddities About insects.

The honeybee has a comb in the
foreleg, lying in the angle between the
tibia and tarsus, which is used to
cleanse the antennae comb, which
forms a deep notch protected by a
spine at the lower end Of the fore
tibia.
The mouth, whether armed with a
comb or not, often is used to keep the
body trim and clean. Cockroaches
draw their long %antennae from time to
time through the mouth.

The Lords PRAYER.

Everybody knows this beautiful pray

Anglo-Saxon origin. In the first edi-
tion of the authorized version of the
Bible, 1911, the words debts" and

"trespasses' and "trespass." Temp
tation" was the only word of Latin
origin before that alteration was made.
Now. of course, there are three. This
prayer is a model of simplicity, com

~ NJ. R.

Dear Lord we do not ask to know
The crosses that may come
To try our faith or test our love.
While on our journey home.
We know what ere our lot may be
Thy hand will guide our feet,
Unto that land of perfect rest
Where we our God shall meet.
Darkness will come to each and all
And burdens we must bear.
Must walk wherein His feet have trod,
Must all His sufferings share.
Must trust Him in the darkness
AS well as i'm the light;
Our clouds will all be silver-lined
And burst in radiance bright.
Then do not ask for other gifts,
Ask only for His love;
Twill give TO US a foretaste
OF that happy home above.
Then we can pass through waters
wild,
Can stem the current deep,
Because we know His loving hand
Will us from danger keep.
Then let us never wander from
His crushed and bleeding side.
We want to stand within the shade
OF the cross on which He died
We want to feel the pressure Of
That nail-torn hand each day,
His hand viii lead Us step by step
To realms of endless day.
