D.. here gees: BELLS were known before the Jews went down Inte Pgypf. And vet they're mentioned In enlr four place;, in the Hlblc all in the. Old Testa ment. The first bells were uwd for religious pur poses. tn medieval churches they were used te frighten away the evil spirits that filled them when services were net in progress. Many old churches in Southern Europe I ve seen them in villages of the Mediter ranean country have n small deer opening te the north. It is said that centuries nge a bait would qe rurus during services, and then the deer would be opened for a moment te give "Auld Cloetie" a chance te take the air. H,v command of Pepe Jehn IX church bells were rung ns n protection agalnit thunder and lightning. DID you ever hear of the Villein? Jt'n the prophetic hell of Spain, and they tell -.)) Herfs of spook things about It. The native in its vicinity assert that when the father of the present King of Spain died the bell tolled of its own necerd. During the Spanish -Ainet lean War it tolled for Spanish defeat, two or Mire strokes, long before any news hed ceme of Spanish reverse. Itussla is the home of bells, but nothing hns been heard of the Kremlin bell blnce Limine end Tretzky get btib.v. It is, nnd was. the coronation bell. It wan mm of the h-rgest hanging bells iu the world. Known ns (lie Kmpcrnr's bell, it never raiig save in the tVur'n honor. The bell-ringer bad a life job. Hefere the great temple of Huddha, in Tokie. Japan, is one of the largest bellu, if net the largest, lu the world. It is greater Mian the ,;rent bell of Mos Mes cow, which stands lu en- of the public squares and is used ay n chapel. The circumference of the Tokie bell at tbe nm Is OS feet, and it is 1 feet high. PLUHAPS "M. R. D." has read of the attempts of flappers who wear sloppy gale-dies te introduce a new ide.i in the way of tiny bells en the sagging buckles. Although the news pniagrHphers tried te make it nppe.ar as an innovation, it is old stuff. Heary with age that H the idea. Thirty-live jenrs nge the girls of Bosten tried the rclieme of weiring little bells, miniature sleigh bells. 0n their shoe tops. They mafje a tinkling sound ns they entered n room. The bells were of silver and purchased nt the jewelers'. Hut the fad died out in a few months. It didn't get ns far as Chicago.

Prem the antique lettering en it It proved te be ene of the eldest Chrlstlen church bells in the world. It dnted buck te the eighth century, nod possibly before that. The largest bell in this country today is said te be the ene hanging In the belfrj of the Church of St. Francis de Sales, In Cin cinnati. It weighs 30.000 pounds. It is net likely that anv mere eaunllr , large bells will be cast lu tills country. v eiruiiK prejudice aim giewn up against bell-ringing en Sundays as well ns ether dnj s. , They annoy invalids nnd wake night workers from their necessary dnj light alc.p.
