At sunset, round Its rock-rlmmcd pools

'Twns there my Vera strayed across
Thick Mower-starred curpctlugs of moss,
To watch tho wind-blown billows tosB
Their foam-crests, white ns Mlkrn (loss
Upon tho const.i of Brittany;
Till I, forgetting only part
Of my old skill and my old art,
Still painted In, with loving strokes, her

SHU sings tho sea In tender tone,
Around that blossom-belted zone;
Hut I havo chosen for my own
Tho fairest faco that ever shone
Upon tho coast of Brittany.
And, dwelling In my own far land,
I havo my Vera still, to stand
Ucsldo me, giving Joy to life and cunning
to my hand.
And though tho world mny never know
Whenco comes the skill that sets aglow
My painted sens and sands of snow,
And lights that chango and waves thai

Upon tho coast of Brittany.
And though below us now wo see
Tho city's myriad llphls to be,
Still picture I tho magic bind whero

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.
Andicw Mnck'j Christmas presentation
of tho "Ragged Earl" In tho Jersey City
Academy of Music was more notable for
tho members of tho company than for tho
audience. With tho company thero was
nil act of which tho public had no ldeu.

was ilnnlly piescnted beforo nn audience
made up of tho members of tho company

and surprised possessor of a handsome
gold watch. Thero was no formality
about tho prcsci tatlon, and therein rest
ed Its greatest beauty. It happened on
Monday night.
James It. Wnlte, It Is reported, has
about mado up his mind to abandon tho

tho dramatic companies which, under his
direction, havo fot several seasons been

In tho smaller cities. Walto has Indeed

M. A.-Whnt Is tho "Stnbat Mater?"
Answer. The Stabat Mater Is a Lat
in hymn on the crucifixion, which Is
sung In Roman Catholic churches dur
ing Passion week. Jncoponc, a Frnti
clscnn monk.who lived In tho thirteenth
century, is accredited as being the au
thor of the words. Aside from Its an
cient setting lit Plain Song various
composers have written music to the
Stabat Mater. The settings which are
best known nro those of Palestrlnn,
Pergolesl and Rossini. Of these a
prominent musician snys: "The first of
tho threo Is a noblo work, tho Eccond is
full of pathos and expression, and the
last Is a quaint unison of opcrntlc ef
fects and ilorld vocal writing."
C. W. G.-l. How is tho chlmo of
bells in Elm Park church rung?
Answer The chiming mechanlsmcon
slsts ot a frame-work supporting ten
horizontal levers. A long strip of wood
extends from each lever upwards to Its1
corresponding bell at the top of the
tower. The upper end of this strip of
wood, or "tracker," connects with a
chain, which In turn la attached direct
ly to tho clapper of the bell, or, as in
the smaller bells, with a hammer which
strikes tho bell from the Inside. With
the exception of the largest boll, which
may be rung with a rope In the usual
manner when desired, nil the bells are
hung In a, stationary position. The
ringing of the bells requires a quick
downward stroke of the levers with tho
hands of tho player, consequently rapid
chango ringing or chiming calls forth
vigorous muscular exercise. A few of
the deepest toned bells mny bo played
with the feet also by means of pedals
which connect with tho hand-levers. It
Is, therefore, possible to play threo bells
at the same Instant. The Elm Park
bells are tuned as follows: E Hat, P,
G, A Hat, B Hat, C, D Hat, D natural,
E flat, P. Tho compass Is therefore
ono note more than an octavo and the
bells may bo played In the keys of E
flat and A Jlat major. With only ten
bells1 it Is, of course, not possible to
play every hymn-tune even when
transposed. Somo of the tunes run too
high or too low, or have accidentals for
which there are no bells. Many times,
however, a change of ono note In a
hymn-tune makes It possible to play
tho whole tune on the ten bells.
o
2. How do tho chimes In Elm Park
church comparo In slzo with thoso of
other largo cities?
Answer There nre few chimes In this
country which exceed ten bells, but In
Europe chimes are much larger. This
Is especially true In Belgium and Hol
land, Chimes in Europe are called caril
lons. Among the most celebrated may
bo mentioned those of Antwerp cathe
dral (40 bells), Bruges (48 bells), Mal
lnes (44 bells), Ghent (48 bells), de
Tournnl (42 bells), de Boulers (39 bells),
Louvaln (35 bolls), etc. Theso carillons
are played both by hand and by ma
chinery. The keyboards In many cases
are clumsy affairs with wooden keys
so far distant from one nnother as to
admit of being struck with the flst
without disturbing the keys on either
side. There are carillons at tho pres
ent day that may be played from an
ordinary keyboard with the fingers. It
was my privilege to be present In the
tower of Antwerp cathedral while the
"carllloneur" was playing the bells by
means of a keyboard operated with the
fingers.
As I have already said tho carillons
are played also by machinery. Tho
bells nre sounded by means of a large
barrel connected with and regulated
by clock work, strong pins llxed on
tho barrel coming In contact with lev
ers which raise the hammers. Tho
barrel may be arranged fir various
tunes on tho principle familiar to every
one in the ''music bov."
Thero nre nt tho present time several
fine carillons In England, as, for ex
ample, In the town halls of Manches
ter, Bradford. Reading and Rochdale,
also in Worcester cathedral and var
ious churches, all of which are rupplled
with n most perfect carillon machinery
of English invention.
Where there Is a clock present In
the same tower with a carillon, (and
this Is probably always the case), tho
bells play the tlrst quarter ot u tuno
at quarter past the hour, half tho tune
at half past tho hour, three-quarters
of the tuno at a quarter of, and the

whole tune nt tho hour, after "which
tho lurgest bell of all strikes tho hour.
Some times, when tho bells nro fewer In
number changes nro rung lnstend of a
tunc, but on the same principle that
has Just been Indicated; as, for In
stance, those of "Westminster." "Tura
Again Whlttlngton," "Lord Mnyor ot
London," etc.
Penl ringing Is extensively practiced
In England and the British Isles. In
n. peal the bells are tuned according
to a dlatonlo scale. Instead of being
stationary as In a chime or a carillon
they are rung by a rope In the usual
manner, that Is to say all the bells
swing, consequently several ringers
are required to operate tho bells.
Chango ringing on peals Is an Inter
esting and engrossing nrt and has been
practiced In Englnnd for the last 230
years, during which tlmo many per
sons of rank nnd education have prac
ticed It ns nn nmusement. It lins been
estlmnted that upon a peal of twelve
bells, (tho largest mado), 479,001,600
changes may bo rung, which would re
quire 3S years to perforin.
HUMAN EYE AS A CAMERA.
Absurd Stories Havo Originated from
Somo Experiments.
From tho Literary Digest.
The popular notion that the eyes ot
tho dead sometimes retnln complete
Imogen of scenes that have been en
acted before them nt the moment ot
death has received fancied confirmation
In late years by experiment, and thera
nre some who, from reading careless or
cxnggerated accounts of theso experi
ments, might get an Impression that
science hns placed upon this notion tho
stamp of approval. Tho following note
from The Lancet (London) gives us tho
very small modicum of truth that Is the
basis of all such stories. It says:
"Under the title of 'In Dead Eyes' an
evening contemporary recently made a
statement which carries Its own con
futation with it. It Is to the effect that
a physician and enthusiastic photog
rapher, being desirous of testing tho
amount ot truth In the theory that dead
eyes retain complete Images, had care
fully examined the eyes of hundreds of
dead people, and though ho had never
seen nnythlng like a distinct picture
mirrored he hnd certainly distinctly
traced both letters nnd objects on tho
Iris of the eye, nnd that when the pho
tographic test was applied these Im
ages became visible. In ono case a
capital letter of peculiar form was
shown which could bo traced to a Tes
tament held In the hands shortly be
foro death. In another case a numeral
was distinctly pictured which wns
traced to a clock faco In the room. Tho
nrtlclo In question continues: 'The
chief scientific paper of France only tho
other day gave full particulars of a
case where a woman who died In one
of the hospitals had two numbers, 10
and 45, mirrored In the iris of her eyes.'
The absurd stories originate In th'i
well-known experiments of Kuhne on
the visual purple of tho retina, in the
course ot which ho showed that by
making special arrangements the cross
bars of a window focused on the retina
could bo brought Into rclle... Tho e
thuslat'tlc photographer, If Iil- bo n.it
misquoted, ought to have known that
no well-defined Images of tho external
world are cast upon the Iris, nnd none,
therefore, could be preserved. The sur
face of the Iris is far too uneven to act
as a mirror. Moreover, as no arrange
ments were made to prevent the further
nctlon of light after death, they would
If formed be certainly obliterated as
the lmun on a photographic plato
would be If permanently exposed. The
only mode In which an Image Impressed
on the retina could be rendered vlslblo
would be to ndopttbe method ot Kuhne,
namely, by exposing the eyo previously
kept in the dark for a minute or two
to an illuminated object, then extirpat
ing It, opening it, and Immediately
plunging It Into a solution of nlumn.
The Imuce develops In the course ot
twenty-four hours."
