How Bells Are Tuned,

There are few who know how a bell
receives its joyful or solemn tones.
All bells after they are cast and finish
ed must go through a process of tun-
ing. the same as any other musical in
strument, before they respond with
clear tone. Every bell sounds FIVE
notes, which must blend together in
order to produce perfect harmony.
The tuning of bell is done by means
of shaving thin bits from various parts
of the metal, 1t Is as easy for an ex-
pert bell tuner to put bell in tune
as II is for piano tuner to adjust his
instrument to perfect chords. At first
thought 1t would seem that q bell
would he ruined should the tuner
shave off too much at the last tuning,
or the fifth sound, but such is not the
case. He would, however. be obliged
% begin over, starting again with the
first tone, and shaving the bell till 1t
gave forth its harmonious sound at the
fifth tone.-Scientific American.

A LEAF OUT

fellow is from Adam, but I'm the man

echoed Barrett in listless apathy.
Lord Jocelyn looked from the one
to the other in bewilderment But
just now you were moving heaven and
earth to effect his escape" he cried.
The young woman wruug her hands
in desperation. oh, will you go?"
she cried. Never mind my inconsis-
teucies. Go, before it IS too late!"
Lord Jocelyn turned toward the
door. There seemed to be no alterna-
tive but to comply. He could not
force this sacrifice on them IN despite
of that determination. But even as he
laid his fingers on the handle of the
door he heard the heavy tread of foot
steps ascending the stairway. They
reached the top stair and halted, and
others succeeded them. Then all
could hear voices of men, pitched in
low tones, without.
The girl hesitated for an instant;
then, without a word, she darted to-
ward the door that led into the IN
terror room. She flung II wide and
few through, beyond another door,
and into q passage terminating in a
stairway. Following, hastily, Jocelyn
heard the girl hurrying down, and
caught sight Of her, three flights be-
low. hurrying in hot haste toward the
back egress. Some impulse that he
made no effort to analyze turned his
footsteps back into the room which he
had vacated. Barrett stood there
alone in gloomy meditation. JoceIyn
went up to him and held out his
hand.
