the tower each mounts to the ben
he is to ringQnd stands astride the
shoulder OF the brazen monster.
Then he presses the bell with his
feet, holding ON the crOsspiece ON
which the mass of metal is swung,
Gradually the great bell sways to
the muscular movement of the man
astride it until it acquires a mo-
mentum that swings the hammer,
first gently and then with increas-
ing force as the sweep of the bell
widens, until the air is trembling
from the giant blows that strike the
massive sides of the monster.
The mere vibration of the atmos-
phere as the huge bells ring out
would be enough to make an un-
practiced ringer turn dizzy and fall
from his perch. But this is not
all, for many bells are ringing in
the belfry at the same time in ODE
dience to the movements of their
riders, and the din is deafening.
Notwithstanding all this, the
riders bend and rise and fall with
the action of the bells, now appear
ing to the observer from below to
be in horizontal position as the
bell reaches the limit of its swing
and again riding gracefully to an
upright position as the monster
sWays backward with another thun-
dering note.
The most extraordinary part Of
the daring performance is the sight
Of bell ringer calmly swaying the
bell while it hangs far out Of the
belfry over the city, FOR the out
ward swing sends the counterpoise
with the ringer into space beyond
the arch.

The oriental origin Of hockey is
proved BY the fact that il is often
mentioned by Arabian writers in
the earliest days Of islam at time
when France and England had no
national existence. They speak Of
it as koura and describe it as a
game in which the ball is struck
with a curved stick called mihdjan
or sanladjan. The latter word Is
Persian, which seems to indicate
that the Arabs learned the game
from their neighbors Of Iran, who
first taught them civilization.

A Chinese Ruse.

Over 1000 years ago there was
a war between China and Mongolia,
and China was invaded BY d Mon
golian army under Maotun. The
Chinese emperor was besieged in
the city of Ping, and when the sit
uation seemed to be hopeless he
ordered that a number Of lay fig
ures representing beautiful women
be made and exposed on the city
walls. He then caused a message
to be sent to the wife of the Mon
golian leader to the effect that these
attractive maidens were intended as
a present to her husband. The ruse
was entirely successfully The siege
was raised forthwith, and Maotun
was removed out Of the temptation
zone by his apprehensiye spouse.

THE DEATH DICE.
Dramatic Climax 20 a Test ussd In
Trial For Murder.

ttf&t t@A tFt@t W.T.
There is shown in the Hohen-
zollern museum a gift of the Ger
man emperor, the "death dice,
with which one of his ancestors de-
eided difficult case in the seven
teenth century. Their history is
an interesting one.
A young girl had been murdered.
Suspicion fell upon two soldiers,
Ralph and Alfred, who were suitors
for her hand. Both the accused
men denied their guilt, and even
torture failed to extract a confess
sion from either Of them.
Then Elector Frederick William
decided to cut the knot BY means
Of the dice box. The two soldiers
should throw for their lives, and
the loser should be. executed as the

to death.
