. When the British evacuated Char
lesion Major Traille, Of the Royal
Artillery, claimed the eight bells as
one Of the prerequisites Of war. He
took them back to England, and
there they were sold. Sir Guy Car
Teton, who was then at New York
was appealed to, and he issued an
order for the return Of the bells.
Meanwhile, they had been bought
in London by a Mr.. Rybenau, for
merly a merchant Of Charleston, as
commercial venture He had
them shipped back to their former
home, hoping to make a profit on
tehir sale when they arrived.
Just after the battle of Secess-
sionville, in 1862, St. Michael's
chimes were taken down to escape
being injured in the bombardament
of Charleston. They were sent to
columbia for safety. This move
turned out disastrously, for during
the occupation of Columbia by
Sherman's army, the bells were
burned in the fire Of February II,
1865. But they we're so loved that
the fragments we're sacredly guard
ed, and when the war was over
these pieces Of old metal were ship
ped to England, to Mears & Stein
bank, in London, the successors of
tho first founders, and recast.
Strange as it may seem, the original
moulds into which they had been
poured a century before, had still
been preserved. In February, 1867,
the eight bells came back once more
to Charleston. The entire set of
chimes had crossed the Atlantic five
times, and two Of the bells seven.
Since then they have passed un-
harmed through many dangers. In
spite of cyclones and earthquakes
that nearly demolished the church,
they still swing uninjured high up
in their steeple. Every Sunday they
call the people for half an hour be-
fore the time of each service. They
toll or ring joyously to mark ami
versaries or holidays; in fact, their
mellow sound is one of the chief
beauties of the picturesque old
town by the sea.

The Chimes Of St. Michael's S.
Fort Mill Times.

Fort Mill Times.
The cornerstone Of the Church OF
St. Michael, in Charleston, was laid
in 1852, on the site first occupied by
old St. Phillips, one of the most
ancient colonial churches in Amer
ca. It was not until twelve years
later that the chimes of eight bells
was in stalled in the high steeple,
says a writer in Harper's Weekly,
which long served as a guide to mar
iners along that part Of the Carolina
coast. The money for these bells
was raised by popular subscription,
and they were cast in London: 1t
was gala day when they arrived
and we're swung into place in the
lofty belfry, where every one
thought that they would ring for all
time to come.
4 life Of devotion and peace had
been arranged for them, but it con-
tinued only eighteen years. Then
their vicissitudinous history began.

HALLEY'S COMET.
f:roposal to Bottle the Ar on May
18th.

| ondOn Malt
Prof H. H. Turner, who holds the
Savilian professorship Of astronomy
at Oxford held by HALEY in 17O4,
lectured to a crowded audience at
the Royal Institution in Albemarlc
street recently on sHalley's Comet.
In the course of a fascinating ad-
dress, Prof. Turner made this very
striking suggestion:
"On May Is We shall be in the
tail Of the comet. If you like to
bottle some of the air and hand 1t
down to your grandchildren they will
have in their possession some of
Halley's comet of 1910.
II Think added the lecturer,
"that this institution ought to bot
tie large quantities of all on thai
night and find out what is really in
the comets tail.''
From the investigation Of Prof. A.
Fowler of the Royal College OF
Science, South Kensington, it would
seem, said Prof. Turner, that the
contents Of the tail are similar to
some substance which is present IN
a tube which has contained hydrogen
when the hydrogen is extracted
What that substance is, Prof. Fow-
Ter has not yet been able to deter
mine, but it has the same spectrum
ais the comets tail, and therefore it
IS reasonably certain that this ex-
sremely attenuated and unknown sub
stance found in the hydrogen tube
is present in the tail, and some OF II
Will be added to the air we breathe
on the night Of May 18.
Dealing first with the'path of the
comet, Prof. Turner explained with
great clearness the fact that a comet
moves slowly when, at its greatest
distance from the sun and very
much faster when nearing and pass
ING round the sun. ''It's striking
fact" he said, "that Halley's COM
arc beyond Neptune, and takes only
ct spends half its time in a small
a few weeks to travel the same dis
lance when it gets near the sun
Thus there are millions of comets
lowering like hawks in space ready
. to pounce upon the sun. Once In a
thousand years they make the pounce
You ought to think of this envelope
Of millions Of comets surrounding
each star"
! Some of the peculiarities Of the
tails Of comets were described by
Prof. Turner with the aid Of graphic
drawings and lantern slides. Some
times, he observed, comets lose thel1
tails. That is not always because
the tail disappears but sometimes
because it is behind the comet, and
for a time, therefore, invisible. Al
times the tail lies across the Fdirec'
ton of movement pointing away from
the sun, and apparently blown out
wards by some force from the sun
This force which blows the tail Of
the comet from the sun ''liWe ehaf'
is either electrical, or the light Of
the sun itself, which has a force Of
it's own. The dissipation Of the taals
of comets is now accepted as a fact
and leads to the conclusion thai
comets gradually grow smaller
until they "probably break into
small meteors.
