FAMOUS BELL STOPS TOLLING
to Brave Little Nation
of Belgium.

A night or two before the German
invasion called the whole of Belgium
to arms the biggest of the Client bel
fry bells, named Roelandt, after the
architect who built the town hall, was
tolling as usual when it was suddenly
reduced to dumbness and was found to
have sustained crack about twenty
two inches long and one-third of an
inch wide. 1t is supposed that through
the excessive heat the metal had ex-
banded and become unequal to the
violent beating of the new hammers
used since the restoration of the bel
fry two years ago.
The bell is one of the most cele-
brated in Belgium, and the belfry in
which it is hung is only equaled in
celebrity by that of Bruges, whose
fame was sung by Longfellow The
belfry of Client is 375 feet in height
to the top of the spire. and contains
A bells. The one which is now, I'M
fortunately, cracked was originally
made in 1914, but was recast in 1859.
1t bore in Flemish the inscription: MY
name is Roelandt; when | toll then
there is a fire; when l peal there is q
victory in Flanders"
In 1889 the Austrians fired at the
belfry to prevent the citizens ringing
the alarm. The cannon ball hit one
of the bells and made hole in it, but
the tone is said to have remained IN

BY LIGHT OF THE EARTH |
Somber Regions Of the Sky Iiluminat-
ed by Reflections From Our
Own Planet.

It has been remarked that the globu-
lar light from the whole sky IL su-
perior to the sum of all the quantities
Of light sent to US separately by the
stars. Even the most somber regions
seem Lit by diffused light which truly
has its origin in the terrestrial atmos-
phere. It is the light Of the earth.
Different people have endeavored to
evaluate the intensity Of this earth
light and have found that it is Of the
order Of one-tenth part Of the intensity
of a star of the first order of magni-
tude.
It is attributed, at least partially, to
a permanent aurora borealis which is
revealed by the characteristic green
ray which is observed on obscure
nights in the whole heavens. There is
probably something else; the contin-
ual bombardment Of the upper atmos-
phere by meteoric swarms and cosmic
dust may also illuminate. The mass
of meteoric matter which would suf
flee to explain the observed phenome-
ma has been calculated and the figure
found is in good agreement with that
given by a direct calculation Of the
quantity of cosmic matter which
strikes the earth.

standards of beauty, he carelessly de-

That There Were Persons With

The simple-hearted Weary One and

the walls Of the works, their tins Of

Weary One had in his the added lux

Wherefore, as they say, did Bill

Weary One, Il once card of a chap

But the Weary One was incredu-

Just then he was called away by
the foreman, and on his return he
picked up the tin which he had trust

vanished like lightning.

He did not mean to be selfish.
Sometimes at the end of meal he
caught Romans wistful glance and
felt uncomfortably that he was fail

went straightway to his room and
his precious sleep, adhering rigidly
to his routine-toil. eat, sleep and toll

said, "A man must be for himself?"
And always there floated before him a
picture SO sweetly pathetic as almost
to invoke tears: Unity, the faithful
Penelope, trustingly awaiting her ad

Thus the life fashioned him. 1t was
no longer self-denial that he might
earn qualification at another time, but
self-control lest he go down in the

To prove that a public nuisance has
been committed is one of the most diff

1t is therefore gratifying to note that a
plaintiff who set up the plea that
nuisance is perpetrated in causing
noise by banging milk cans, unloading
trucks containing the empty cans, dis
charging ice through a chute into a
building from the sidewalk, emitting
steam through windows and doors to

as when I left home.

Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food

"Oh! Hullo!"
"Hello!" she said quietly, and moved
away toward the kitchen.
"Kazia-"
She paused inquiringly.

corrected without enthusiasm. "I'n

He sat at the table, loftily amused.
Probably-thus he considered her I'M

doubted his sincerity. And she had
reason, beyond question; on the whole
he had been selfish In his rigid seclu-
sion. He must repair that.
Kazia, bearing his breakfast, inter
rupted his musings. He surveyed ap-
provingly the dishes she set before
him.
You're a fine cook, Kazia. Now
DON'T" he protested humorously, SAY

Unsmilingly she ignored both the
compliment and the jest. "Will that

What else?"
"You might" he smiled, "sit down
and be-friendly."

1T seems" he complained, you're
always working"
She shrugged her shoulders. That's
what I'm for" And she left him.
He frowned. 1t might have been
raining on his holiday. He was able,
nevertheless, to make a substantial
breakfast.
Back in his room, which she had set
in order while he ate, he formally and
finally dismissed Kazia from his mind
and began his weekly letter to Unity.

stared at him from an otherwise
empty page, and he was glowering out
