Among the many unfortunate con-
sequences Of the European war is the
destruction Of many Of the bell towers
and carillOns Of Belgium. Mr.. William

carillons are set OF tower bells at

four Octaves Of bells the lowest sew

The bells are connected with Il key

Speed Upon the Water.

A boat has been designed by D. N.
Brown OF Grand Haven, Mich, which
on tcSt runs has attained speed Of
40 miles an hour. says Popular Sci
cncc. The body OF the craft is made
of thin galvanized iron over Il bass
wood framework two feet wide and
twenty feet long. Two galvanized iron
air tanks are attached to an outrlggcr
five feet from the rear end on both
sides. When the fOur-cylinder motor,
set In the rear, whirls n six-inch pro-
pcller, the prov rises out Of the water
and the craft skins along like huge
bird over the surface the entire
weight resting on about three feet Of
the stern. The two tanks maintain
the equilibrium.
The boat has proved a success In all
ways, and the inventor believes, with
IN improved design, that he will have
craft capable Of making 60 miles
an hour without being crowded.

Mobilize Nations Food Supply

NEW YORK, Mar. 10-In a state
ment made public today the National
agricultural society urges that steps
be taken in the near future look
ing to the mobilization Of the coun-
try's agricultural resources.
The National Agricultural society,
whose headquarters are in this city.
was formed about a year ago by a
number of well known men actively
interested in farming and live stock
raising. Its president is James Will
son OF Iowa, formerly secretary Of
agriculture during the administra-
lions Of Pres't Mckinley, Roosevelt
and Taft. Among the members Of
the executive committee are Theo-
dore y. Vail, r. Y. Lindabury,
Robert a. Fairbairn, John A. Spoor
and q. Howard Dawson.

it is somewhat surprising that lit
