SCIENCE KILLS OFF ROMANCE
Electric Motor to Ring Notre Dame
Bells, Made Famous by Victor
Hugo's "Quasimodo."

few days ago word came from
Paris that the bells of Notre Dame are
to be rang no longer by hand but by
an electric motor. Quasimodo will be
supplanted by an impersonal force as
strange as the lamp of Cassiodorus
that burned without wick or oil, the
secret of which Quaslmodo's master
was not able to discover. This mechan-
ism will have no such delight as the
one-eyed, limping, deaf bellringer had
In his great bell, Marie, in the south
tower, or such IAN affection for his
bells" as came upon him when he
assembled the north tower, felt the
whole cluster of the bells moving
under his hand, and ran from one rope
to another "animating the six song
sters by his voice and gestures like
leader of an orchestra squirting ON
scientific musicians" Science has
now come to displace the last leaders
of a long line of bell-ringers. Per
haps before long perforated card
will become the automatic player, TAX
ing the place of the demon of music
who shook sparkling bundle Of trills
and arpeggios" out over the city in
the March day in 1882. remarks New
York Times writer.
For readers of Victor Hugos "Notre
Dame" Quasimodo will go on ringing
them down the centuries. Marie will
peal with a tempest breath. Gabrielle
will continue to sound her holiday call
t. AaI1 nil
quit his tagging and make his hear
ers deaf as the ringer If they come
too close. Guillaume the biggest, Will
be shamed by Pasquier, the least, to
greater effort. The Sparrows will BIO
singing even though their brazen
beaks seen only to be gaping. So at
the goading of Quasimodo the bells of
Notre Dame will be heard still by null
titudes who have never looked in pious
admiration upon the solemn and
mighty cathedral and will be rung by
Victor Hugo's bell-ringer though his
twisted limbs no longer swing furi-
ously at the end of rope; peals Of
the great bell for high mass, rich
gamuts running mp and down the
small bells for weddings and christen-
ings, like an embroidery of all sorts
of delightful sounds" Literature has
preserved what science cannot take
away.
Perhaps Kipling, or his like, will
come to interpret the mysterious
demon of music imprisoned in the cleo
tric motor as Quasimodo was impris-
oned in the great stone carapace from
which he looked forth like one of the
gargoyles-one who will help to re
cover the lost provinces" which ma
chimes have taken over. by piercing
the romantic, imaginative matter of
the things themselves and help the
matter-of-fact world TO perceive the
significance and philosophy not only
of steam but of that still more subtle
force which has come to burn in lamps
without wicks or oil and to ring the
AngelNs without hands.

A story is told of farmer who
met another driving in a narrow
country road in deep snow in the
winter.
IF you don't turn out for me,
said the first farmer, an do what
did to the last man who wouldn't
turn out for me-"
Not wishing to have trouble, the
other man pulled out into the deep
snow and let his neighbor pass. When
he got back into the road again he
turned and shouted back to the Other
farmer: "Tell me, neighbor, what
did you do to the man who wouldn't
turn out for your"

Practical Innovation.

Recent discussions concerning the
decimal system of weights and meas

paragraph reprinted In the Journal des
Debats from its issue Of August q,
1905. when Napoleon I was at the

there were two dials on the principal
building Of the Tuileries, one counting
the hours by twelve and the other by
ten. Taking advantage of the need for
repairs, the dial divided into ten hours

TELEPHONE CORD
PLAYS VITAL PART
II Damaged will Interfere With
the Giving of Good Tele-
phone Service.

Good telephone service depends to
great extent upon what appears to
be an unimportant part of the equip
ment-the telephone cord.
II not in good condition, this little
cord, usually between five and six
feet in length, can cause serious trou-
Bile with the service.
For instance, simple knot or twist
may cause break in the service by
weakening the delicate wires inside
and IL these wires are completely
severed the service will be entirely
cut off.
Sometimes a subscriber absent mind
eddy Jerks the telephone to Strengthen
twisted cord. While that jerk may
not cause any serious trouble at the
time, yet 1t may be the means of tear
ing loose connection inside he tele-
phone which will eventually cut off
the service.
1t Is well-known fact that moisture
causes corrosion or rust when IL comes
In contact with metal and In the tele-
phone business thousands of trouble
complaints arise from wet telephone
cords. If the cord rests against a
wet umbrella or sponge on the
desk or If rain blowing in from an
open window falls on the cord, the
result Will probably be trouble with
the service.
Baby, In playful mood may chance
upon the telephone cord in his travels
and start chewing. Everyone knows
that baby's sallvary glands are ex-
ceedingly active and, of course, the
danger of saturated cord is the re-
suit Teething is an important pro-
cess, but 1t is hard on telephone cords.
Moisture will gradually work Its
way into the cord and the result viii
be corrosion of the wires, which at the
very least means noisy line and
sometimes the service is cut off en-

Friends, our lives. our efforts, our works. our sins really ignore the faith our fathers and mothers lived and died in. God help Us to be ashamed of it.
 If Christian religion is fake, let us burn these churches to the ground; let us quit the assembling of the saints take these monuments away from mothers and fathers grave, let the blue smoke curl from these dis tills that make the damnable stuff that will ruin any nation. church or home. But if you believe in Jesus Christ and his church, in his com mandments, forsake not the assemb- ling of yourselves together. God help us to be more willing, more jealous. more spiritual, more determined to build up the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Amen.
