FAMOUS BELLS OF BOSTON
Not the Least in the Historic Old
City Is the One That Was Cast
by Paul Revere.

A bell which was cast by Paul Re
we're still hangs In the belfry of Kings
chapel. built when Boston was in its
infancy. This bell was the one hun
dred and siXty-tirst cast by Revere.
Besides being bell caster Revere al
so was an engraver, goldsmith and
a dentist. Rising above the modest
houses is the old North church. from
which Revere received his signal
previous to his famous midnight ride.
Christ church. the second Episcopal
church of Boston, is situated in the
north end, and is an off-shoot of Kings
chapel. Its spire. designed and built
in 1923, has served as landmark to
guide ships into the harbor. In 1904
this spire was blown down by great
gale. and was shortened by 16 feet.
The chime of bells, now silent, which
hangs in the tower, was made in 1874,
in the foundry of Abel Ruddall. Of
Gloucester, England. Each bell has
engraved upon it an inscription denot-
ing its history. The bells. as was COM
mon belief in that time, were supposed
to possess the power to dispe evil
spirits.

British warship's Great Guns

AT first sight it may seem strange
that the Hood should carry ONLY the
same armament as the Queen Eliza
beth, built some eight years before the
Hood. AS matter of fact. the Queen
Elizabeth's guns are fortytwo calibers
in length; but the guns Of the Hood
are forty-five caliber long and have
greatly increased muzzle velocity 1t
is believed that the gun weighs lit
tie under one hundred tons and fires
1,950-pound shell with a muzzle vel
ocity of $500 foot-seconds Another
improvement over the Queen Eliza
beth is that the new guns have an
elevation of 80 degrees for maximum
range of $4,000 yards. The loading
gear has been so improved that the
Hood is credited with being able to
fire Il salvo of eight guns every thirty.

DOGS AND CHURCH WINDOWS
Both in Ancient and Modern Times
Animals Representation Has
Been Frowned Upon.

The stained-glass representation OF
the "Pedlar and his Dog" to which
attention has been directed by the dis
covery of a boundary stone of "Ped-
lars Acre." on the site of the new
county hall, was removed, owing to the
alleged incongruity of introducing the
figure of a dog in church window,
says the Westminster Gazette.
Quite recently Chancellor Prescott
of Carlisle refused faculty stained
glass window in Westmoreland
church because the design included
dog; and perhaps the only existing ex-
ample of dogs used for ecclesiastical!
decorations are to be found in Lord
Brownlow's private chapel at Ash
bridge.
In this church one stained-glass
window depicts Tobias and Sara in bed
and dog sleeping on the quilt. while
in another window lob is shown being
Knocked by three men. one of whom is
holding dog by a chain.

STAGE and Movie.

To me the joy of the theater is in
the attention forced by Skillfully con-
structed play acted by players of con-
viction and artistic power. have Of
ten watched an audience coming from
movng-picture theater, and rarely
have seen look of more elation or
spirit upon the faces of the crowd
than would result from the perusal of
il newspaper. Whereas. after an eve
ming at an interesting play, the audi
ence pours forth in animation; and
even though the play may have been
a tragedy, emotions have been stirred
and minds stimulated until the reac-
ton shows on every face. SO long as
the human relation is preserved be-
tween actor and audience, SO long will
the acted drama retain its supremacy
in any communicating Skinner in
the North American Review.

trian statue of Louis Nv which stood
in the square until the Revolution,
was the work of Bouchardon Pigalle.
one of his contemporaries surround
ed this statue with figures emblematic
of Strength. Wisdom. Justice and
Peace. The square received its pres
ent form in 1854 from designs by
Hittorf. The great statues of the
cities were made by four famous
French sculptors. each of whom did
two figures.
AT the entrance to the Champs
Elysees which forms the western
boundary of the place. are the famous
"Horses of Marty" by Guillaume
Coustou. and at the eastern side at
the entrance to the Garden of the
Tuileries. are the "Renommees" of
Coyzevoz-Mercury and Fame be-
stride horses.
In the center rises the obelisk Of
Rameses ii, towering 76 feet, and

Simple Trick of Artist.

Everybody has noticed that the eyes
In some portraits follow one wherever
he goes in the room. 1t is a bit un-
canny TO move about an apartment
and have the eyes of a picture always
upon one. Some superstitious persons
are afraid to go into a picture gallery
where portraits of their ancestors are
to be found. The effect is simply an
optical Illusion and is secured by hav-
ing the eyes in the portrait looking
directly toward the front. Under such
circumstances the pupil is necessarily
in the middle, with an equal amount
of white" on each side. This rela-
ton does not vary at all with the
position of the observer. No matter
where you stand the pupil will he in
the middle of the eye and the eye will
seem to be looking at you.

The Wonder of Eaas.

One cannot find among the multitude
of wonders i'm nature anything more
marvellous than the development of
an egg, writes Elsa G. Allen in the
American Forestry Magazine. Wheth-
er it be butterfly which tlourshes for
day only to die after depositing it's
eggs, or a reptile which lazily leaves
its eggs with only the warm sand to
mother them, or fish, like the salmon
which, with incredible strength, jumps
the rapids to SPAWN in the upper
reaches of rivers, or most appealing
of all, bird which builds beautiful
nest for its treasures, the egg in every
case is structurally the same. and the
miracle of life unfolds according to
the same laws of cell division.

MOUNTAINS AFFECT BIRD LIFE
Der of Species Found in
South America

The richness OF South American
biro-llfe is due TO the presence ot the
Andes more than To any other che
thing Ii is the absence ul great
mountain chains in Africa. which nc
counts for the comparatively small
numbers of species of birds in that
continent. From base to summit, four
distinct zones of life-tropical, sub
tropical, temperate and alpine-are
found in the higher Andes, and each
zone has species which are confined
to 1t.
1t is not only the height of the An
DIES which affects bird life. In places.
for hundreds OF miles. this gigantic
range may appear as two or three
chains, each not less than 10000 OF
1000 feet in height, and these eli.
matte walls are as impossible to the
species living in the tropical or sub
tropical valleys they inclose as though
they extended to the zenith. lsola-
ton is, therefore, added to the fac
tors of climate and sedenta,iness in
the making of the species and the
three combined have produced great
er variety of bird life than is found
in any area of similar extent in the
world The American museum of nat
ural history inaugurated in 1911 a hi
illogical survey of the Andean region
with particular reference to its bird
life. AS result of the collections
and field studies made, the museum
is now in possession Of large cnllec-
tons and data from the more north.

GEORGES NOW AFTER
 CHAMPIONS GROWN

PARIS, oct 13-"Now for Demp- sey," was the comment of the Paris boulevards today on the victory of Georges Carpenter, the French boxing idol over Battling Levinsly in Jersey City, N. J.. last night.
 No boastful expressions were heard but may the best man win," and i've think Carpenter the better man." all were saying. The fight created less interest than the bout between Joe Beckett, the English heavyweight, but many Parisians sat up all night to await the news of the result.
 Madame Carpentier when informed this morning of her husbands victory displayed no surprise.
 T knew all the time that Georges would win" she said, "but I don't like boxing. l hope the next fight, with Mir. Dempsey. will be his last. win or lose. so that he may come back to me"
