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 Tyopa, 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 or
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
ter days for the gold and silver they
contained. The sweetness of their
music. in fact. was due to the circum-
stance that about % per cent of the
crudely refined copper from which they
were cast was silver and g0ld.-Mil-

MAN OF FAITH AND LEARNING
origen Considered One Of the Great
est OF the Early Church Fathers
Upheld Christian Faith.

Origen, surnamed Adamantius, who
lived from 1855. to 254 A. d., is con-
sidered. by some authorities as the.
greatest OF the early church fathers.
Alexandria, In Egypt, the great seat
of learning of the time, is thought
TO have been his birthplace. He was
q teacher and deep student of phi
losophy and of the Scriptures, and
he became d great defender of the
Christian faith. His literary produc-
tons were numerous and several have
come down To the modern world,
among them being a treatise on theol-
ogy. few sermons or discourSes OF
that nature, parts of commentaries on
the Gospels of st. Matthew and st.
John and st. Pauls Epistle. TO the
Romans. His greatest work is his
defense of Christianity against the at
lacks I'm the writings of CELSIUS, an
Epicureau philosopher of the Second
century. CELSIUS work is not extant,
but. the character of it is. made clear
in Origer's refutation. which contains
many quotations, and ORIGINS line OF
argument indicates clearly the. line of
attack followed, by CELSIUS. The at
tacks upon Christianity by many crit
les are simply. repetitions. of Celsius
objections, which Origen answered
about seventeen hundred years ago.

country's National Parks.


There are. nineteen national parks,
with total area OF 10S59 square
miles, under the supervision OF the
secretary of the interior and seven
national military and other parks
under the supervision of the secretary
of war, and number of other ma
tional monuments, such as the petri-
tied forests of Arizona, etc. under the
Jurisdiction of the secretaries of the
interior, agriculture and war. For
many years the Hot Springs reserva-
ton Of Arkansas was the only national
park. in 1892 an area of i e square
miles on which are 46 hot springs pos
sessing curative properties was set
aside as n national park. II was not

national park was created, the yell

Intensity. and outsider" are two
words, less than a hundred, years old.

there was no other in existence to ex-

sists of flower pot of the usual
shape, but having a double wall. The
description runs, according 10 the Lit

The space between the two walls
constitutes a reservoir of water. INTO
this there extends two 10 four curved
tubes, according TO. the shape. OF the
pot. Each OF these tubes contains a
wick. The lower end of the tube dips
into the reservoir. of. water while the
other end is bent so as TO dip beneath

pot. Consequently we really have. a
set of siphons which are set in action
by the capillary attraction which
causes. the water to rise in the WICK.
Thus there is gentle but steady flow
of moisture TO the plant.

Puss Puts TWO and Two Together.

This account of q eats remarkable
display of reasoning was recently given
to friend of the Companion by
minister whose word, one correspond
ent remarks, is OF course not to be
questioned.
When Mr.. and Mrs. M 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, it appeared. 10 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.
M that her cat was at her first
home in the extreme western part OF
the city.
Apparently puss had reasoned that
its former owners had returned to
their old. home; so it FASTENED there,
travelling. either through or round a
busy city a distance Of fully three
miles. Mrs. M went and got the
cat at, once and. carried ii to the new
home, where it nov, lives contented.-
