NIGHT IN LAHORE

n WING to the serious rioting
~ which occurred in Lahore, follow.
ing Mr.. Gandhi's passive resistance
movement Of 1918. the city was placed
under martial law. Among other reg.
ulations, public meetings were forbid.
den and the inhabitants required to be
in their homes by eight o'clock at
night was assigned to tile command
of troop of horse which nightly
patrolled the Indian city.
A ride through an Indian walled
city at night, under the restrictions of
martial law, is strangely weird ex-
perience. Our patrol sets out some
hours after sunset; we walk along the
Mill and through Anarkali to the La.
hore Gate. Only an officer on a
motor cycle and the troops at the tele-
graph office are seen. Perhaps a man
here and there is sleeping outside, on
an old charpoy or rope bed. snuggled
up in rug and thrusting his head
out to see who are these disturbers
of the night; and then "Haltl who
city gate and we pass still further
into the heart of silence and semi.
darkness.
The streets get narrower, and the
atmosphere gives ones olfactory or
gans more and more varied unasked
and undesired experiences. Even the
houses. with unfriendly and unwashed
expression, frown upon us as we pass
under their overshadowing upper
stories. Like old hays. worn and
decrepit with age and clothed with
rags. they seem to resent the appear
ance of well-fed men and horses, wan
dering into their silence and self-satis-
faction. One wonders if all the prod
ucts of our universities, who talk glib
ly of the East-its glamour it's wis
dom and ancient thought-have seen
the cities of the people and how the
comm IN Oriental mind expresses itself
in material things where it's daily life
is concerned. For, after all, it is re-
fetal and artificial Western civiliza-
ton may be, 1t has brought about
greater cleanliness.
So our solitary patrol marches on
sometimes in threes, sometimes In
pairs. and sometimes our horses must
walk in single file. Not soul is to
be seen; only an occasional light
looks down into the dingy street, and
Peeping Tom appears at the window
for furtive glance Dogs show their
annoyance in noisy fashion and stink
away into mysterious holes and cor
ners. The journey is Cneventful.
Winding, irregular streets are aggres-
sive in their silence and lifelessness.
Only the stars above seem to possess
any animation as they glitter over
this city Of the dead.

Then and Now

"Fifteen of my first active years
were spent in Kansas" said w. f.
Jensen, now residing in Chicago,
"and, like all Kansans, I have the
fondest feelings for the dear old
state.
'srhirty years ago Kansas was
happy but rated poor. 1t still is hap
by but is now eating cantaloupe for
breakfast.
II recollect a business trip con-
nected with the early creamery de-
velopment, in the year 1900, to a
little town in western Kansas, where
/ stayed at the best hotel. On en-
tering the dining room for breakfast
! was met by prim little lady who
asked me where I wanted to stat
the 25-cent table or at the 5O-cent
table. This aroused my curiosity and
asked what the difference was, and
received the answer that, at the 80
cent table I would get an orange
and at the 25-cent table would not.
! still remember sitting down at the
25-cent table and enjoying break
fast of oatmeal, ham and eggs, cakes
and Coffee Chicago Post.

Worlds Largest Bells
in Russia and China
Russia possesses Il

Russia possesses the largest
church bell In the world.
Some authorities declare that this
bell, known as the Gear bell, when
cast in the days of Boris Godunoff,
weighed 1876 tons. Others claim it
weighed 1873 tons. Its size can be
imagined II one considers the state
ment by q. NJ. Grove in book on
Moscow that the bell itself has done
service as chapel.
Grove recounts that the bell was
recast in the middle of the Seven
teenth century and raised into its
belfry. 1t had only been there two
years when fire destroyed the belfry
and the bell crashed to the ground
and was broken. There it lay until
1875 when Empress Anna ordered 1t
to be recast on the spot.
Two years later the scaffold for
reraising the bell caught fire, the
bell became almost red hot, and the
tremendous amount Of water used to
extingulsh the fire cracked the bell
and a large piece fell out. 1t was
then left on the ground until 1886
when Emperor Nicholas Il had it
raised and placed on granite ped
estal where, for long time, 1t was
used as a chapel, the broken side
serving as the door.
According to reference books the
worlds largest bell ever actually in
use is also in Russia. 1t Is said to
weigh 1913 tons-nearly two and
half times the weight of the next
largest bell, in Peiping.
