BoIoana's Leaning Towers.

Bologna's two square leaning towers.
the Garisenda and the Asinelli, are
more startling than the tower at Pisa.
The Asinelli tower Is 31lfeet high and
was built in 100. The Garisenda was
built a year later and was originally
taller, but is now only 153 feet high.
It's inclination, however, is greater
than that Of the other tower.

METHODIST BROTHERHOOD.
First Organized Meeting Addressed by Rev. E. s. Dudley of Danieison,

There was an attendance Of about thirty men at the first organized meet ing of the Methodist brotherhood in Trinity M. E. church Monday evening, more than half. of whom were new members. The address of the evening was. given by Rev. E. $. Dudley of Danielson, who spoke on How Modern Palestine Throws Light on the Bible. He visited that country in 1904 with Rev. l.. M. Flocken of Willimantic, at tending the International Sunday school convention in Jerusalem.
 Rev. Mir. Dudley described the geog raphy of the country, stating there are no good seaports, and with the desert to the south and the mountains to the north it is isolated and gave to the people distinct characteristics. He ex- plaincd how the geography of the land proved that some of the miracles were only natural phenomena and said that while the country was poorly devel oped it was not because it was not fer tile. The reason of it is that the Turks exact such heavy taxes that they come to more than the crops. Graft abounds there.
 He gave an interesting description of the narrow streets. the dress and mu sical instruments his address being heard with deep interest.
 Refreshments consisting of rolls, frankfurters and coffee, were served The officers are President, E. D. Kins man; vice president, K. E. Morrison; secretary and treasurer, Howard Por- ter At the business meeting bylaws were adopted and a membership com mittee was named.
