TRULY WERE GOLDEN CHIMES
Bells Cast in Ancient Mexican Village
Composed in Large Part OF
Precious Metals.

In the Mexican state Of Sonora, at
the headwaters Of the Rio Mayo, is the
ancient mining village Of Tyupa. which
in early days was famous for the
sweet-toned bells cast there from cop
per procured In the neighbOrhOod
1t was from Tyopa that chimes Of
bells were obtained for many missions
on the Pacific coast, and from the same
source came bells that were hauled by
OK teams across the desert to mission
settlements in Arizona and New Mex
leo There was one such settlement
at Sitka, Alaska. established by Fran
cIscan monks, which got its chime OF
bells from Tyopa.
Some of these bells are still In ex-
istence, their tones as sweet as ever
Many of them have been melted in lat.

contained. The sweetness OF their
music In fact, was due to the circum'

were cast was silver and gold.-Mil

LIVE THOUSANDS OF YEARS
Idea That Some Trees Are Immortal
Has Been GraVeIy Asserted by
Many Naturalists.

The Idea Of immortality IN trees Is
often met with in the works Of the
ancicnts observes writer In the New
York Sun The historian, Josephus,
in his Jewish War;" relates that in
his day there was near the city Of
Elbron a turpentne tree which was
as old as the days Of Adam.
1t was reserved for modern natural
lists to show that these assertions,
however extraordinary they may ap-
pear, are still correct and that many
.. Of our trees In some sort indestruct-
ible may have seen the nnal scene Of
creation and, after Drawing the action
of so many ages, are still upright
and living to this day.
1t Is now over hundred years since
Adanson, by ingenious calculations
showed the learned that such Ideas
though extraordinary, are yet facts Of
the most scrupulous exactl1nde This
naturalist by happy chance found in
the interior Of the trunk Of the baobab
In one of the Cape Verde islands an
inscription which had been traced on
It by the English 800 years previously.
Starting from this point and compar-
ing the dlameters Of the stems OF
many Of these bulky trees. the French
savant succeeded in proving that the
most vigorous Of these primitive in
habltants of the African forests might
be at least 5000 years old.

AT REST ON BARREN ISLAND
Land Where Sir Ernest Sha ,Itl-t ton
Sleeps Was Discovered by the
Famous Captain Cook.

South Georgia island, where Sir
Ernest Shackleton will sleep on the
fringe Of the wild and frozen soli-
tudes against which he opposed the
might of hero's WILL Is in about the
same latitude as Cape Horn, which lies
100 miles westward Of 1t.
When Captain Cook was making one
Of his historic voyages around the
world in the Eighteenth century he
happened on South Georgia island, II
is recorded. At first he thought II
might be the "terro incognia Australis'
he was in search OF, so he went ashore
and as he recorded in his diary, took
possession of the country" in his maj
esty's name, under discharge Of
small arms
When the great circumnavigator ex-
amlned his discovery a little more
closely and found 1t TO be a mere
bunch Of icy mountains, he concluded
that II was mot worth the discovery" J."
Nevertheless he called this land the
Isle of Georgia in honor Of his mai
esty." His majesty, by the way, was
none other than George III.
A hundred years later the seafar-
ing men Of New England came to the
conclusion that South Georgia island
was not as worthless as Captain Cook
had supposed. 1t was great place
for fur seals. They slaughtered more
than 1,0000O0, virtually exterminating
them In that part of the Antarctic.
Then came a harvest Of elephant oil, y
extracted from the blubber of the
sea elephant, the giant Of the seal
family.

Puss Puts Two and Two Together.

This account OF n cats remarkable
display Of reasoning was recently given
to a friend of the Companion by a
minister whose word, one correspond
ent remarks, is of course not to be
questioned.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Nj were
about to move to California they left
their cat with some friends who were
living in suburb perhaps two miles
from the eastern side Of their home
city. After an absence OF Is months
they returned and spent two weeks
with their friends. Though the cat
remembered them, 1t appeared to be
content with its owners; so when Mr..
and Mrs. M went to live in a new
house in the northeastern part of the
city they left the cat behind. A few
days later 1t was missing from its
home in the suburb for the first time
since It had gone there to live; and
three days later friends notified Mrs,
NJ that her cat was at her first
home in the extreme western part OF
the city.
Apparently puss had reasoned that
It's former owners had returned to
their old home; so 1t hastened there,
travelling either through or round II
busy city distance Of fully three
miles. Mrs. M went and got the
cat at once and carried it to the new
home, where It now lives contented.-

Rutland, May 8.-Collins NJ. Graves
OF Bennington, federal prohibition di.
rector, has rendered his resignation
to Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes and asks to be released from
duty on or about June 10, as Mr..
Graves pans to devote his entire
time to his law practice, his son
having entered his law Office at Ben
nmgton.
Mr.. Graves became director for
Vermont last August, succeeding
James E. Kennedy OF Essex Junction.
For several months the director Of
fee was located in Burlington in con-
nection with the Office OF the collect.
or OF internal revenue. At the time
Mr. Graves assumed the office there
was an assistant, one clerk and three
prohibition agents employed in the
federal prohibition work in the YER
mont department and inadequate
quarters were assigned TO the force.
/ Mr. Graves succeeded in having the
Office transferred permanently to
Rutland where there are now ample

ed in executive and clerical duties.
Under Mr. Graves administration
as director ne field force has been
very materially increased and a chief

many years connected with the inter-
nal revenue department, has been APP
pointed. The Vermont division has
now an assistant director. Harry c.
Shaw OF this city, who has recently
been appointed to tie position
With the increase OF work in the
Vermont department OF the federal
prohibition enforcement unit, it has
become necessary for the director to
practically put aside his professional
practice, and because he finds it in.
compatible to attempt to direct the
affairs of the federal prohibition de-
partment and give his law practice
the attention 1t deserves, he has de.
cided to resign.
The name OF City Judge Leonard
f. Wing was mentioned last evening
as possible successor TO Mr.. Graves.
