AImsbox Chained to Altar.

The village church of Parham. SUI.
folk. England. possesses an ancient
almsbox which is distinctly unusual
both as to shape and position. Though
nothing is known Of its date or his
tory, it is easy to surmise that this
quaint kegshaped box, with its clum-
sy lock and rough but effective pro-
tecting bands, may have been the re-
suit of the joint efforts of the local
carpenter and blacksmith.
Most almsboxes are found In the
porch or somewhere near the entrance
to the church, but this is chained to
the altar rails.
Possibly its use may have been re-
stricted to- receiving the offerings
OF the communicates and the fees at
and other ceremonies, or,
Is the iron ring in the lid seems to
show. It may have been carried about
a. occasion required. and chained
to the altar rails for greater security
when not In use.-The Connoisseus.

The height of the tallest point OF
the giant rock is 1,439 feet above sea
level. 1t is three miles long and about
three-fourths of mile wide. Natural
and artificial caverns and tunnels run
through it in every direction. While
little is known to the outside world
concerning these underground CALLER
les, they are said to be many miles
in extent and to be placed tier upon

are many chambers filed with ammu-
milton and war supplies and bristling
on all sides, extending from almost
the bottom level to the top, are hid

equipped with guns that are said to
be capable Of commanding the Strait
Of Gibraltar. which forms the western
entrance to the Mediterranean.

railroad give access for the transfer

new route saves 70 miles in distance

The canal gives mobility by an inte-
rior smooth channel through which
New England can receive her crude
material at low figure. Congested
land lines cannot supply 1t, and manu-
facturers must have it promptly and
cheaply II they are to replace vanish

Government and state having failed
