Legend CT "the Poor Sinners ssifr
That Was Cast In ersslau.
The poor sinners bell is q bell In
the city Of Breslau, in the province of
silesia, Prussia, and hangs in the
tower Of one of the city churches. 1t
vas cast July II, 1886, according to
historic records. 1t Is said that a
great bell founder of the place had
undertaken to make the finest church
bell he had ever made.
When the metal was melted the
founder withdrew for q few moments,
leaving n boy to watch the furnace
and enjolnlng him not to NEEDLE with
the catch that held the molten metal,
but the boy dlsObeyed the caution, and
when he saw the metal flowing into
the mold he called the founder.
The latter rushed in and, seeing. as
he thought, his work Of weeks undone
and his masterpiece ruined, struck the
boy a blow that caused his immediate
death. When the metal cooled and
the mold was opened the bell was
found to be not only perfect, but of
marvellous sweetness of tone.
The founder gave himself up to the
authorities, was tried and condemned
to death. On the day of his execution
the bell was rung to call people to at
tend church and offer a prayer for the
unhappy mans soul. and from that It
the name of "the poor sim

surprise when you notice that that cow

not purple you might reasonably con-
suit an oculist. That would be a sign
that your eyes needed attention.
But you may never have tried to
figure out why the COW is purple. Here
Is the answer: The complementary
color of the green pasture Is red. The
sight OF green always suggests red, al
though we don't realize it. Flooding
the scene Is the yellow sunshine. The
yellow, the red and the green combine
to tint the grazing neutral colored
