I EACH HOLDS THE SECRE It Is a Mystery to Science, and the M: Who Is Able to Penetrate That My: tery Will Be In a Position to Revy lutionize This Planet of Our:. This is not an Aesop fable. althoul It has a moral. There are two things in whose pre euce science stands wondering at abmshed-the little glowworm (or 11 yet tinier firety) and the mighty coml, arching the sky with its glimmerir train. Each of thern holds the sac secret-how to make ight withol heat. The man who gets that secr r-ll revolutionize the planet. The late president of the Royal A tronomical Society of Great Brita: referred to the value of tlU comet secre-t in his retiring add_""_. r thought that we do not sutlicit.tly a preciate the wondrous spectacle of comet's tail. It shows us hurdreds < billions of cubic miles of spnce simt taneously glowing with luminosil whose origin is a mystery. It Is a gigantic experiment in branch of physics of which we as y< know very little. The comet Is it mersed In what we may well reg: as a vacuum: at least ;t is a far moi perfect vacnum than we can produc Yet the persistent glow of the comet tail shows that there is no real vacun there, but a vast quantity of extrem .y attenuated matter which no don1 is the cause of the luminosity. We ought. Professor Newall think to awake to the importance of th hint. -Who knows," he says. -whet: er. If we could discover a method < disrupting gases and vapors In ult vacuous spaces artificially maintaini on earth, we should not have a met od of artificial illumination as econor ical as that of the glowworm and : briniant as Is needed for our nocturn life?" This thing may really be within ot reach. although at the present tin we cannot even suggest to ourselvy exactly how It is to be attained. B1 the tandency of recent Investigation in that direction. As Sir John He schel said of another discovery whic was just at the door. "We can feel trembling along the farreaching liI of our analysis." There are not a few men, who a] regarded by their harder headed sclej tife brethren as "dreamers," who p ture to themselves a fast coming tin when we shal not only obtain light : as cheap a rate as the firefly has I but when we shall have tapped the e: haustless stores of energy that slet all around us in nature. We are like one in a dream su pended in the midst of a vast worl shop crowded with multitudinous-m: chines. all .whirling and fluttering 1 a storm of energies, but which he cs neither control nor understand. we could see these thin-s they mig] terr'' us. as the dreamer Is terrine by tne -vhlrring belts and spinnis wheels of his vision, seeming to gras at his life. If the scientific investigator- nee to establish a raison d'etre in the ey< of the public, which cannot folio either his processes or his results, I has onlfto-point to the fact that i greatest practical discoveries of mot en times have come out of the labor tories from things as incomprehensib: to the-unitiated as so much magic. Is a well known fact that the growlr might of Germany springs from b devotion to "pure research." Referring again to the pregnant hi, of the comet. Professor Newall: dlearly right in saying.

There are several old bells in Scot land, Ireland and Wal's. The oldest are; often quadrangular, being made of thin Iron pl!ates which have been ham mered and riveted together. At the * monastery 4f St. Gall in Switzeriiand; the four sided bell of the Irish missln n ary St. GalI. who !i-:Ad1 in the seventh century. is s'ill preservcL but more ancient sti!l '. the. bell of St. [.itrick in Belfast. which is ornjamented with gold and gems and silver tiligree work. ; The curfew bell is that :;bout which most, has been written and said. It has been thought that Itwas only used id in England. but it was quite common e on 'lhe continent in the middle ages. et The ringin; of bells by rope is still t very i,opular in England. especially in le the country. where almost every ham :t let, however small. has its church with e its peal of bells. which are often re markably wel! rung. The first real peal of bells In England was sent by n Pope Calixtus Ill. to King's college, s Cambridge. and was for 300 years the elargemst pealI in E1ngland. .Ahout the beginning of the year 1500 setsi of eight a bells were hung in a few of the large churches. In the middle of the seventeenth cen tury a man named White wrote a fa mous work on bells in which he Intro a duced the system of numbering them at 1.2 3. 4. etc. on slips of paper in dif - ferent orders. according to the changes intended to be rung. It is calculated e that to ring all the changes upon twen ty-four bells at two strokes a second s would take 117 billion years. m One of the most famous bells in the world is the first great bell of Moscow. which now stands In the middle of a square in that city and Is used as a ehapel. This bell was cast in 1733, but was in the earth for over a hundred years. being raised In 1S3G by the Em !a peror Nicholas. It Is nearly twenty feet high. has a -circumference of sixty feet, Is two feet thick and weighs al most 200 tons. The second Moscow bell, which'Is the largest bell in the world that Is actually In use, weighs 12S tons. There are several bells ex t tant which weigh ten tons and over, of which Big Ben. the largest bell in Eng land, weighing between thirteen and fotfrteen tons; Is one. Big Ben Is un i fortunately cracked.-London Globe. h HISTORY ON A TUSK. It te Picture Made by a Cave Man Millions of Years Ago. Iong ago, so long that even a scien tist would hardly dare venture a gues as to the date. a man clad with only a wild beast's skin about his loins was it sitting at the mouth. of a cave In one t of the rocky highlands in what Is now ' southern France. He was scratebing V with a sharp Sint on the fragments of an Ivory tusk, perhaps picturing for some youthful admirers adventures through which he had passed or an! mals he had slain. That Ivory chip was stored away as a treasure, to be n lost and forgotten after the cave man's if death One day a man'named Lartet. Sdigging In the cavern Uoor,found It. d On It was scratched a very fair rep resentation of the hairy elephant. Sprobably at once thit oldest picture and the oldest human record 'In ex Istence. SWe know the cave man was a faith 'ful workman, for the melting Ice fields eC of-Sibera ae yielded a perfect specd emen of this ei'tlnct mamal, and the - paleolithic picture Is a true copy. Not Sonly hans this ancient sculptor given us le a sample of the earliest art, but he has [t el't us, more valuable-than all. a his Etorical record of his time, for this i rude picture Is simply a page from the cave man's history which, translated it into twentieth century Engh. say. Is "Men1 thinking men, were contimpo a raneous with the hairy elephant" No record that any of humankind Shave ever left Is half so ancient as ~this. The oidest Egyptian papyrus'Is a thing of yesterday compared to this paleolithic sculpture. While the cave man was living in Europe the valley 7 of the Nile was yet only a wild waste. 7 Egypt was not yet Egypt, and civilizs St~on as we knrow It had searcely made a bhginnbng.-I.ppincott's.
