BELLS OF BUDDHA
Their Tones Vary With the
Tastes of the People.
&Ese1CS ~
Continuous Symphony Of Thinking In
Raneoon and Neutrality-suspicious.
csc More Stern In Tone.


The bell is almost as characteristic
q symbol Of Buddhism as Is the seated
figure of Buddha himself. 1t varies,
lin the different Buddhist countries,
with the temperament and tastes OF
the people. In Burma, where even
Buddhism turns to sunshine and to
prettiness and the towers of the tenn
pies evaporate In lace work and jewel
ry, the bells, glittering with precious
stones, hang In clusters from the UNI
brellalike top of the pagoda spire and
ring at their own sweet will. In the
temple courts of Rangoon and Manda-
| lay there is continuous symphony
of tinkllng and Ginning things
dainty, casual, hayward.
But the bells of China and Korea
and those of Japan are more gran
dose and sober. Like the stained
glass windows of European cathedrals,
Japanese bells are stored records of
their temples and their times. They
bear inscriptions by famous poets and
scholars; they are nodded into a
wealth OF symbolism. And around
them cling, like the moss and flow
ers that have overgrown the woodland
| Buddhas of Nikko, legends and tales
and history that live on the lips of gen.
erations who have dwelt in the
shadow of some great bell and whose
lives have been unconsciously attuned
to it's grave and somber harmony.
Yet, though the imagination of the
people clings around it, the temple
I bell seems to speak most eloquently
from lonely places, from the heart Of
monastic woods, from heights TO which
the contemplative may withdraw for
meditation. 1t has none of the IA
miliar and sociable character of the
occidental church bell. Though Chris
tianity, like Buddhism. has under
stood the value of the bell, the differ
ence between the bells of East and
West is typical of difference in the
genius of the two faiths. In the cities
of England and northern Europe the
bell is the first to speak out on any
occasion of special significance TO the
people. 1t announces funerals, we'd
dings, fires and wars. 1t is at its best
| in the expression OF communal joy.
The very method of ringing-in CARL
Ions, chimes and joyous changes
makes ii seem representation OF
many voices raised in chorus of
gladness.
The Buddhist bell has none of these
social characteristics. 1t could hard
ly quicken its deep tone to speak OF
! Joy. 1t seems voice apart from tenn
,p5FII Things. c0giizaInt Urrft of eternity
and Nirvana. Yet on any occasion
Of general sorrow its accent-tranquil,
remote, unhurried-may be immeas-
urably consoling. An American who
lived In Kobe while the epidemic of
influenza was at its worst often speaks
of the comfort he felt in the sound Of
the temple bell from tie hill. All day
he saw the procession of the dead
pass his house and smoke of the Gre
matories dimming the sky; but every
night at nine o'clock the great bell
spoke out--serene and gracious on
the evening air-and its grave voice
seemed to be saying: Fret not; for
all this passes. 1t is well."-Marjorie
Latta Barstow in Asia Magazine.

TWO FAMOUS YANKEE SHIPS

Bear, In Humble Service, Still
Are Making Good"


Trading along the west Mexican
coast carrying panocha, hides, bees
wax and other freight Is the fate OF
the once proud American gunboat Mar
blehead.
The vessel has been sold to Jose
Delaliave, a Mazatlan ship operator,
by the United States government for
a few thousand Mexican dollars. Del
allave has renamed the Marblehead
the Aqua Prieta.
Thus passes the old "pepperbox,"

Navy.
The announcement of coast guard
authorities that the U. =. G. G. cutter
Bear probably never will sail into the
North again marks a sharp turn in
the history of one of the most famous
adventure ships flying the American
flag.
After more than two-score years OF
battling with ice foes and arctic gales,
the Bear is under orders to make San
Diego her base and serve as training
ship for coast guard recruits.
Since the Bear, in charge of Com
modore Schley, later admiral, rescued
the seven survivors of the Greeley arc
tic expedition In 1884 she has been
devoted to service in the northern
seas with the navy. the frontier rev.
enue service and In recent years as
part of the coast guard fleet. She was
built In Scotland In 1874 as whaler
and sealer. ~ri

Among her many duties she has kept

ried the law to the shores where Kip
ling said no law extended, protected
the fur-seal herd from poachers of the
"Sea Wolf type, and given the sane
ton of the white mans standards to
marriages beyond the arctic circle.
Natives, teachers, missionaries,
traders and marines in the North have
for a generation regarded the annual
cruise of the Bear as a routine part
of their existence.
Not a season has passed-including
the present one-that the Bear has not
saved lives by imperative operations
performed in her sick bay, by the res
cue of marooned or shipwrecked crews
or by landing provisions to the inhab-
itants of isolated shores.

SIS tobacco going TO have its scalp
beside that of the lamented but as
yet not altogether late alcoholf" is
the question asked by Garrett Smith
In an article In the current issue of
Leslie's Magazine"
The writer reaches the conclusion
| that while there has been increased
agitation and legislative activity on
the subject OF tobacco following the
success Of the drive for prohibition
of liquor the efforts of reformers seek
Ing TO abolish tobacco have no general
support. This opinion Is based on the
results of the questionnalres on the
subject sent out to newspaper editors
Of the country by the Press Service
Company OF New York City.
The questions asked were:
Cd Do you favor the enactment Of
laws prohibiting the personal use OF
tobacco by adults?
(2) In your judgment does the gen,
eral sentiment of your community
favor such legislation?
(3) Is the use of tobacco personal
ly Objectionable to you?
No arguments accompanied the ques-
lions and from their form it was i'm
possible for any editor to determine
the attitude of the questloners
Out of 1858 editors questioned,
7,S47 replied according to the summary
given. These editors, II is estimated,
represent combined circulation of
2l,S70,046. OF the 1917 editors reply
ing, 1893, or 90 per cent, represent
public sentiment in their communities
as opposed to antl-tobacco legislation.
Only 260 editors, or 8 per cent of
those replying believed there was any
considerable sentiment favorable to
tobacco prohibition. There were ia,
or per cent, in doubt, while 20 failed
20 record their judgment.

Arizona's Practical Joke

"A bill, introduced in the current
session Of the legislature of Arizona
TO prohibit smoking in public dining
rooms and other public places, was
first amended TO prohibit the consump-
ton in public of peanuts, chewing
gum, tea and coffee and then defeated
by the senate. The QUESTIONABLE
returns from that state were 92 per
cent no.
I'm Iowa where the nos were 95
per cent bill to repeal the anti
cigarette law has been passed and
signed by the governor.
"A bill to repeal the anti-cigarette
law in Kansas, with 50 per cent nos,
is receiving the attention Of its legis-
lature. Last year n petition for a
referendum in Oregon to prohibit the
use OF tobacco failed of sufficient sig
natures to bring the question TO a
vote, and 95 per cent of the editors
declare their public against legislation
In Oklahoma an anti-clgarette bill has
been reported unfavorably in the
house. The editors of that state re.
ported 94 per cent against Its public
support.
Outside OF Utah, where Mormon
influence predominntes, the article
concludes, "the anti-tobacco move,
ment appears, as in the case of Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Iowa, to be los
ing ground and is not to any consid
cradle extent supported by the PEG
ple."
The friends Of tobacco feel particu
larly elated over this showing, mas
much as 1920-21 was a maximum yeal
In legislative circles with ~ state leg
latures In session and the tobacco sub
ject received an unusual amount OF
consideration.

-
reporting public opinion favorable to
prohibition Of tobacco came from Utah,
where AZ per cent of the editors
thought the public were for such a
movement. Utah is the only state
which has since adopted an anti
cigarette law. The result was fore
cast by several of the editors who
stated that the influence of the Nor
mon Church was against tobacco. The
Mormon Church is also strong in Idaho,
which Is the other state where the use
OF tobacco was recently prohibited,
but the governor has signed the bill
just passed, In which the prohibitory
legislation Is repealed. In this state
50 per cent of the editors estimate
sentiment I'm their communities as
against tobacco prohibition, which,
nevertheless, is per cent below the
average reported opposition.

weeks ago passed and the governor
has signed a bill repeating the anti
! cigarette law Of that state The ques-
tionnaIre showed % per cent of its

this state 81 per cent of the editors
