Tubular Chimes.

Tubes instead of bells for chimes
came into use In England half cen
fury ago for three reasons-they have
a mellower, more musical tone; they
take up much less space than bells,
and they weigh much less. The sub
Ject Of tubular chimes has all the in
terest that pertains to bells generally.
In making bell the most expert
founder cannot predetermine with ex-
actitude the tone Of the bell General
ly bells and tubes have to undergo nice
notifications after they are finished,
and 1t Is much easier to alter the tube
delicately to get just the pitch and tone
quality sought than to modify the bell.
Tubular chimes used in tower clocks,
organs and elsewhere are fundamen-
tally identical with the dangling gold
tubes upon which the gifted vaudeville
performer plays Home. Sweet Home"

HuMoR OF THE GREAT WAR.

0NeN VNUe
There is not much to relieve tho
somberness and sadness OF the war,
but here and there one may detect .
bit of humor in the situation. AS an
example of this, we note that Ger
many ccuse the British of not tax
ing the war seriously enough and Of
treating it as a sport. And then, to
match this charge, we have the Lon
don Times replying in all seriousness
to the German criticism. To read
the Times n would conclude that
the English revel in the reputation,
if not in the possession. of a spirit
of frivolity. It has been SO long since
the British people have been accused
of being merry that they are actually
delighted even when their most bit
terly hated enemy points the accusing
finger, says st. Paul Dispatch. In
stead of "damning them with faint
praise" the Germans have praised the
English with faint damns, and the
Times can hardly conceal it's satisfac-
ton Owe it. The thing is SO pleas
ing to the British that we need not
be surprised to hear that the Asquith
government has approached the kaiser
with offers of an entente cordiale to
take the place of the present unsavory
tussle between these two foes who
ought to be friends.
