REBUILT BY BENEDICT MONKS
One of the Oldest of English Abbeys
to Again open lts
Doors.

Buried in the heart Of Devon, be-
tween Buckfastleigh and Ashburton,
at a place called Buckfast, very
old abbey is on the verge of reopen
ing its doors, London Answers says.
For many years a body of Bene-
dict monks have been busy rebuild
ing what is perhaps one of the oldest
monasteries in Great Britain.
The very early history Of Buckfast
abbey is unknown, SO the date of
its foundation will always remain
secret, but documents that are at
present in existence prove that it
was before the coming Of the Nor
mans.
A grant by Canuts Of the manor
of Zeal Monachorum is the earliest
authentic document now in the pos
session of the monks, and it is re-
corded that this abbey was occupied
by monks until the time of the Ref
ormation.
In 1888 the abbey was suppressed
and for over three hundred years the
buildings were in the hands of pri-
vate individuals, until in 1882 the
monks of st. Benedict of La-Pierre-
qui-Vive of France bought the site.
When the monks again took over
the property the buildings we're
made up of a modern house which
had been built from the ruins of the
original wall.
None other than the monks of
St. Benedict have had anything to
do with the rebuilding of this abbey.

EVERYBODY ON WHEELS

We may be having hard times,
but we are still able to buy automo-
biles. The motor vehicle registra-
ton for 1921 totaled 10,448, 632-
an increase of more than a million
over 1920. About half Of these cars
are believed to be owned by farmers,
although there are no actual figures
as to distribution. At any rate the
country is on an automobile basis,
and those alarming statisticians,
who are forever trying to show by
figures that the national income is
not large enough to buy tires and
gasoline, might as well throw away
their lead pencils and begin to
worry about something else. We are
going to keep our cars, and buy
more. That is settled. And if the
income won't stand the increasing
investment and upkeep, why wen
have to increase the income. Farm

For That Reason Jsvanese Islanders
Perform Ceremony Which They
Call Wedding.

Rice is the most important food
product of the island of Java. The
islanders believe that rice has soul.
In order to keep on good terms with
the "rice SOUL prayers are offered
to the rice plant, and offerings Of
fruit and flowers are made to it. One
of the prettiest ceremonies OF the
island is the wedding Of the rice
a make-belieye marriage ceremony
which takes place every year at har-
vest time. o
On the lucky day the Dookoon
calls the relatives and friends OF the
owner and leads them into the field.
They are all in holiday dress and
wear garlands of flowers about their
heads and bodies. The Dookoon Sc
lects two stalks of rice Of the same
length and thickness, to represent
the bride and groom. Then four
other stalks, two to represent the
bridesmaids and two to represent the
best man, are selected.
The bridal party" is smeared
with yellow unguent, decorated With
garlands of flowers, shaded from the
sun with palm leaf awning, and
the stalks are cut around them.
After a great feast the party sets
ont for the granary, where the
bridal party is locked for 40 days
to denote the passing Of the honey
moon.

HERE'S A Two-YEAR CLOCK

One of the limitations of the or
binary desk clock is that, frequently
through oversight, it is not wound
up, and consequently stops. This
generally causes annoyance and per-
haps, the loss Of a business engage
ment. A new electric clock has
been designed to overcome this. It
is arranged to run for two years on.
small battery of dry cells. The
clock is Of the average desk type
and has two wires leading to the
batteries. These occupy small
space and may be placed in the bot
tom drawer Of the desk. The clock,
it is claimed, will require no atten-
ton until the batteries give out.

SAYS STARS ELEMENTS
ARE SAME AS EARTH'S

The fact that the stars and other
heavenly hodies are composed of the
same elements as the earth was DEM
onstrated in Il lecture by Prof. Henry
Norris Russell. professor of astron-
omy and director of the observatory
at Princeton University. to an audi
ence of a large number of prominent
American scientists. AT the Carnegie
Institution OF Washington.
The fact that various metals ana
elements the same as those on the
earth, were existent III other heaven
" bodies has been known for the
past sixty years. by the fact of the
lines given by the various elements
being present in the spectrum. Many
bodies, however. failed to snow all
of these elements. and it was conSe-
quently supposed that they were nom
existent on that particular body.
took to show that these elements
were present in these bodies. and
also why they did not produce the
customary line on the spectrum.
Taking an atom. which consists OF
a nucleus and a positive electric
charge, surrounded by a number Of
electrons, Prof. Russell explained that
in stars with temperatures ranging
from 5000 to 10000 degrees. the cleo
irons surrounding the nucleus of the
atoms would be pulled away from the
atom in the whirl on the bodies CT
the higher temperature. thus account
ing for the fact of the line of that
atom Of the particular metal that the
atom formed a part of not being
present on the spectrum. With the
cooling down or the recatching of
the lost electron by the atom. the
line Of that particular element would
again appear on the spectrum.
This has been a great question with
scientists, and the theories presented
by Prof, Russell are considered most
valuable knowledge in the further
ance of scientif1c work

President Cosgrave adheres TO his de-
termination not to permit any modi-

here that Lloyd George will hold the

stitution is enacted by the British

come in November. In this way, it is
