QUAINT OLD ENGLISH CUSTOM
DweIIers In Cornish Village Maintain
Their Right to Look on Statue
With Reverence.

In Launceston, small town In Corn
wall, one image and one old custom
have remained in spite Of the Purt.
tans, says a contributor to London
Country Life, who relates curious
survival Of the old days when Oliver
Cromwell and his image-smashing SOL
diers ruled England. Perhaps it was
because the Cornish did not take kind
ly to the Puritan spirit, continues the
writer, but the Magdalen Of Launces-
ton remains and the people of Launces-
ton still believe in her power for good
and evil. The figure, which rests in
a canopied niche between the center
of the three windows at the east end
of the parish church, is little less
than life-size, and represents the Mag
dalen as lying face down in an atti-
tude of grief. BY her side is what is
described as skull or the box of
ointment.
What is still more interesting is the
large number of stones, pebbles and
pieces of slate always to be seen scat
tered and untidy on the back of the
figure or upon the sill of the window
above. They represent the triumph of
custom or superstition. The people be-
lieve that If YOU cast a stone up at the
figure and 1t remains upon it you will
get your reward. If you treat the stat
ue with disrespect you will suffer.
The stones on the window sill repre-
sent failure; those on the figure, sue
cess. The people of Launceston are
reluctant to talk about this belief of
theirs. If you ask, they will half shyly
tell you that the children believe it,
and that they remember that when
they were children they threw stone
up when they wanted new pair of
boots or a treat of some kind.
"And did you get it?'' you ask.
You will generally be told, "Yes +"
If you watch, you will see that the
children still believe it. and that some
of the children" have long since pass
ed school age. The stones are always
there, always increasing. OF the many
stories l heard of the Magdalen of
LauncestOn one was of how the mar.
rator, Wien a boy, many years ago,
came running home from school and,
passing the statue, jumped ut 1t to hit
Its face. He told me that it might
have been that or 1t might not. but
before he was out of the churchyard
he slipped, sprained his ankle and was
In bed for many days. No one seems
to know how old the custom is. but the
statue itself is not old as ecclesiasti.
cal figures count age.

Noiseless Coins.

II Is quite probable that the twen-
tieth century will soon see new type
of coin, noiseless and clean, which may
replace the metal ones, which become
grimy and dIngy with use. If expert
ments now being conducted at the roy
nj factory at Neissen are successful.
Germany may have 2 and mark coins
in constant circulation. The expert
ments, carried on at the request OF
the ministry OF finance, give promise
of feasibility. as the composition Ia
light and compact and while as wash
able as cups and saucers, is perfectly
durable. 1t is said that these coins
would he difficult to counterfeit be-
cause of the technical apparatus re.
quircd for their minting.

Power From Gas.

The question of transmitting power
long distances by means of gas made
In the coal fields is raised in the en-
cheering supplement of British pa
per. One of the objects sought In
erecting the proposed capital power
stations in Ene!pnd and distributing
electricity from them, is to save the
cost of conveying coal TO individual
factories. 1t is possible that the same
advantage would be realized by trans
mltting gns iDstend of electricity.
1t is suggested further that the gas
now made in multiplicity of gas
works scattered all over the country
could he generated on modern lines in
large works on the coal feds. The
writer calculates that the money spent
on the carriage of one years coal by
one of the London gas undertakings
would alone suffice to pay for main
large enough to bring from Yorkshire
all the gas 1t makes in the year New

The Longest Tunnel.

The longest and largest tunnel In
the world will probably soon be built
under the Hudson river to connect
New York with New Jersey. There
are several tunnels large enough for
a railroad train but the new tube un-
der the river is to be large enough to
allow two or three large teams or au-
tomobi'es to run abreast. The tunnel
Will be much more than a mile in
length and thirty feet or more in
diameter. 1t is estimated that 6,O46
vehicles can pass In both directions
every hour in such tunnel, which is
more than twice as many as pass up
and down Fifth avenue, probably the
busiest street today in the world. The
great problem of the tunnel is to pro-
vide ventilation, since the tube will he

Sixty.Pound Piano.

A plano weighing only GO pounds
may not compare favorably in looks
with baby grand, but 1t has other
advantages. Soldiers at the front were
able to tuck it away in their equip
ment, and 1t helped to while away many
hours. The piano has regular five
octave range, but tuning forks instead
of strings are used to produce sound.
This does away with necessity of tun-
ing the instrument. When key is
struck a hammer drops on tuning
fork, setting 1t in vibration and pro-
ducing sound. The fork is connect
ed by spring to a sounding board
which reinfOrces the sound. The pi-
anO is also equipped with loud
pedal. A damper that rests on the
end Of one arm of the fork may be
raised, when the fork Is free to vibrate
loud and long.

DID NOT FALL FROM CLOUcS
University Of Michigan Professor 9th
er~ise Explains Presence Of Worms
After Heavy Rainstorm.

Reports from Lexington, KY, that
hundreds of angle worms from two
to five inches long fell from the clouds
during a rainstorm there, were de-
clared to be inaccurate by Professor
Peter Okkelberg of the faculty of the
University Of Michigan.
The worms probably crawled up
through the ground, drawn by the
lure of the rain, according to Professor
Okkelberg. Cases have been known.
however. according to the professor,
in which cyclones or tornadoes have
created such suction in the air that
worms and fish have been picked up
from ponds and lakes and dropped a
considerable distance away.
According to the Lexington story.
the worms were incubated by the warm
winds from the moisture in the air
while being waited In clouds. This
Is an impossible assumption, according
to Professor Okkelberg.

Nitrates From the Air.

When Thomas Edison was asked re-
Gently what he considered the great
est inventions since the electric lights,
he mentioned first wireless teleSraphy
and second he American process for
making nitrogen from the air Be
fore the war we depended upon Ger
many for orr supply of nitrogen, and
especially for the fertilizers which
made our farms SO productive. The
Germans had deposits which they only
need dig out of the ground to sell at
enormous prices. Today there are
great plants In the south where the
air is put under pressure and frozen
to liquid form from which In turn
the nitrogen Is extracted. The sup
ply is of course absolutely limiiless.

Bible FOR CHINA
New Translation Has Been the
Work of Many Years.
Said to Be the First Ever Put Into
the National Language Of the Race,
and Almost Perfect Literary
Production.

After continuous labor extending
over more than quarter of century
by Chinese and foreign scholars, the
announcement is made new transla-
tiOn of the Bible has been completed
for the Chinese people. The publica-
tion Of this translation at an early
date, under the title Of the Revised
Mandarin Bible" is announced by the
American Bible society. The compile
tion of the work will, 1t is stated,
place this particular version in the
ever reached by any other translation.
There have been Bibles in China for
many years, of course, millions of
them, but the Forthcoming issue will
be the first translated into the national
language Of the Chinese, and it is
claimed that it will be the most nearly
perfect literary production in the
Chinese republic.
1t Will be interesting to many OBJ
servers the world over to take care
full note in the years to come of the
effect of this translation upon the
masses of the people of China. From
the point of view of the western
world. China is not rich In literature.
This estimate is not disputed by many
of the Chinese educated in America,
and European colleges. Confucius,
when he edited what the Chinese de-
nominate the sacred canOns, in the
sixth century before the Christian era,
prescribed he model of Chinese liter
ary form, and reached, in the belief
OF his followers. the pinnacle of phil
osophic wisdom. These classics, in
Guiding the works edited and actually
written by those who called them
selves his disciples, possibly excel, in
literary merit at least, the works of
any other ancient civilization, and it
is true that no other written words
have for so many centuries nodded
the character, culture, morals and gov
ernment of so great a nation. The
veneration given throughout the CEN
turtles to the wisdom of Confucius has,
because of the constant study of his
philosophy, preserved the language al
most unchanged for thirty centuries,
ana set permanent standard in the
nations literature. In one of the
books of this great series, that known
as the "Analects" of COnfucius, in
which his views and maxims are re-
tailed by his disciples, there are given
what purport to be accounts of the
habits and records of the teachings Of
the great Chinese moralist In it there
is found the sage's text on altruism,
called the golden rule In its Chinese
form, which, translated, reads: "What
you would not others should do unto
you, do not unto them."-Christian
Science Monitor.
