RINGING NOTRE DANES BELLS

NOtre Danes famous bells are
to he rung in future through the
medium OF electric motors, and it
is possible that sentimental Paris
ians will mourn the change as a
dissertation. In fact, Victor Hugo
:las made it necessary that the
whole world shall think Of the
bells as being rung by hand in ac-
cordance with the tradition which
generations of mankind have APP
proved. But is the change q cause
for regret? The old bells are Still
there and will ring. after thcsWyr $
silence. with their accustomed
tones; and. what matters itFthat
electricity is to be the medium
through which the ringer controls
their voices? People say that cleo
trio motors are matcrAiistic and
lacking in atmosphere. But is a
motor really more" materialistic
than a piece of rope? Is it's at
mosphcre less romantic than thai
of tarred hemp? Bell-ropes have
nothing to recommend them except
their antiquity and the recognition
which literature has accorded
them: and it is probable than when,
i'm some future century, an innO-
vator suggests ringing the old
bells by radio, sentimentalists will
again sorrow over the passing OF
the romantic motor. - Baltimore
