A MONSTER BELL.
It's the Biggest in the World that Is
in Ringing Order.
On the principle that a living dog is
bettor than a dead lion, a bell that I's
whole should bo better than one that is
cracked, even though the latter be th
bigger of the two. For some time past
there lias been a sort of dead-heat be
tween the two biggest bells in the
THE BELT., A8 IT HANGS.
world, the one at the cathedral in Mos
cow, and the other at the unfinished
pagoda of Mengoon, a little north of
Mandalny. If the former was the big
ger of the two, it was cracked, and
therefore useless as a bell, while The
latter, though whole, had dragged its
supports down till It rested on the
ground, aud would not emit any sound.
Now, however, it has been reswung,
and can claim attention as the biggest
bell, la working order, In the world.
In 1800 the Burmese community de
elded to have the belli raised, and em
ployed the Irrawaddy Flotilla Com
pany, limited, to do the work. The
work has been successfully accom
plished. The bell hangs on a large
steel girder, with a distributing girder
on the top of It, and the main girder
rests on two large Iron columns, 25
feet high, which rest on concrete foun
dations. The bell swings, with its low
er rim about three feet from the ground.
The weight Is about 08 tons, the cir
cumference at the base being 51% and
at the top 20 feet. It averages over a
foot in thickness. The bell itself is
over 12 feet high, and the shackle,
which was Intended for logs of timber,
about 12 feet. The pin in the shackle
has a diameter of 16 Inches. The bell
was cast about the beginning of the
century by King Bod aw-pay a as an ac
companiment to the huge brick, pagoda
which he never finished.
Poor Eyesight In Schools.
In the public schools of France more

nearsighted; in those of Germany, 3o
per cent.; In those of the United King

A New York newspaper, In speaking
of the Spanish-prisoner fraud which
has been practiced so often, says that it
has been confined to Europe for its vic
tims until a New Hampshire man was
swindled with It the other day. This is
a great mistake and one which no New
York newspaper should make. It has
been practiced in this country for many
years, and it has been tried more than
once wjtliin eighteen months upon New
York men with more or less success. It
began to find victims as early as 1895,
and the swindle has continued ever
since, in spite of the publicity which
has been given to it. To the police It is
as common as the gold brick trick.

Alone on Shipboard With a Maniac Bent

sion Save the lutended Victim's Life—
A Farmer Has a Terrible Kxperlence* ,
It WHS on the fifth day of our voy
age, writes a ship's doctor in the Lon
don News, and we were amusing our
selves on deck when a message was
brought to me to say that Mr. A—
would like to see me in his cabin.
I had no difficulty in finding his
room, and was met at the door by Mr.
A— himself. He shook hands very cor
dially, and invited ine to enter and
take a chair. . No sooner had I done
so than he carefully locked the door.
Thinking this rather strange, I in
quired as to his illness. He did not
reply for some time, and then said:
"lam not ill. I sept for yon," lay
ing his bund oil a largo knife, "to cut
your throat."
He was ft man I had not before par
ticularly noticed, but now, as I looked
up, I fully made up my mind that he
was a maniac.
I am not a coward, yet even now the
thought of that moment makes me
shudder. There I was, in a remote
part of the ship, alone with a madman
of twice my strength, without a chance
of escape, or means to give an nlarm,
and being unarmed, quite at his
mercy.
I had heard of other somewhat simi
lar cases, and, though a tyro in the
profession, had had some experience
among the insane. I knew, therefore,
that resistance would be of the least
service to me, and that apparent ac
quiescence would he best. All this
quickly flashed through my mind, and
accordingly, feigning the utmost in
difference I could, I said:
"Ah, yes, Mr. A—, to he sure. It
won't take long, will it?"
"Oh, no," said he, calmly, survey
ing the knife he now held in his hand.
"Oh, no; the job is quite a lightone."
Here he poured out a glass of wine
and begged me to drink it. As I did
so an idea struck me, aud I said:
"By-the-by, Mr. A—, your knife
doesn't look very sharp; the trachea
is tough, yon know, and will want
some cutting."
He looked hard at me, as if to read
my thoughts, but after a time, con
vinced that my suggestion was a good
one, and examining his knife mere
closely, he said:
"Yes, doctor, I think you are right.
A little grinding will do no harm, so,
if you don't mind waiting, I will just
run to the carpenter's shop."
This was exactly what I wanted, as
feeling sure he would not lock the
door after him, I thought my escape
would be easy. What was my dismay,
then, on his departure, at finding that
it was locked as securely as before!
I passed up and down in despair,
tore at the door, flung open the port
hole window, and shouted with all my
might, but ull without avail.
Time went on, minute by minute,
and he could not be long now. In
the frenzy of despair I groped about,
from comer to corner, iii search of
some weapon of defense; but no, not
even the merest stick, not the smallest
thing upon'which to lay hands. And
then I heard the footsteps approach
ing in tho distance.
I felt my pulse quicken, my brow
brow hot. Impulsively I flung
off my coat, gpt to the farthest eud of
the room, ana, standing as defensively
ns possible, resolved to fight to the
last.
I remember then tho door bursting
open, and the cry of A-—, not alone,
as I thought, but securely pinioned,
and attended by two of the ship's
crew, in charge of the second officer.
The relief of the moment was so
great that it completely prostrated me,
and my nervous system was much
stiaken for some time, while the inten
sity and reality of my situation often
now makes me feel something akin to
what the condemned, about to be
hanged, must experience.
I learned afterward that the peculiar
and excited manner of the maniac, the
large knife in his possession, and his
anxiety to sharpen it, drew suspicion
on him, which, with the fact that I
had been called to see him, induced
t,he officer to secure him and come to
his cabin.
For the remainder of the voyage he
was kept securely confined, and
watched day and night, and ou arriv
ing at New York was handed over to
the proper authorities, who, on inves
tigating the case, found that the man
had escaped from a private lunatic
asylum near Liverpool, and had by
strategy aud cunning eluded the vigi
lance of his keepern and taken pas
sage in our vessel. He was, I believe,
transferred to England again, though,
happily, not under my cure.
fA Farmer Has a Terrible Kxperlence.
A Jasper (Fla.) dispatch to the
Cincinnati Enquirer relates the follow
ing: Bud Harvey, a farmer, living
nbout ten miles out in Big Turkey
Hammock section, started for town
Monday, in the midst of a driving
rain. Soon the wind increased to a
terrific storm, the rain coming down
in sheets and the wind almost throw
ing the buggy over. Coming to a de
serted house, he stopped, as if to go
in. Suddenly a terrific roarwas heard
behind him. Looking hack, ho saw
a dense, black cloud hovering over
the ground, reaching to the tops of
the trees. He could see big, tall pines
falling in every direction and splin
tering neross each other, while the
noise was appalling.
It was rushing rapidly in his direc
tion, and, seeing his peril, he whipped
up his horse. The latter, a thorough
bred, took the bit in his teeth and
started on a dead run up the road.
Nearer and nearer came the hurri
cane, aud he could hear the noises of
falling trees a few rods baok of him.
the frantic efforts of his horse barely 1
keeping him in front of the terrific |
whirlwind.
Suddenly he felt an upward twist of
his buggy, aud, to his horror, real- .
ized that he was riding in midair, as I
it were, the rear end of his buggy j
being lifted up over a foot from the I
ground. Frantically he plied the j
whip, and for a few seconds the race j
with grim death was n terriflo
one. The horse, wild with terror, i
sped onward with his utmost speed, :
the buggy careening from side to side,
running only on the two front wheels, ,
and it was ail that he conld do to keep
from being dashed over the side. Sud
denly he felt the buggy settle down 1
into the road again, and he knew he '
was safe. The horse ran half a mile j
before he could he pulled up. Look
ing bnck, Harvey saw that the road- !
way he had just passed over was so j
thickly strewn with fallen trees that
he could have walked a mile on the
trunks without touching the ground.
The whirlwind had ceased as sud- j
denly as it came. For a distance of
four miles and a quarter in width the
destruction was complete, the terriflo
storm making a neatly cut path
through the thick forest, leveling the j
trees close to the ground, presenting
a scene of the utmost destruction.
A Lucky Escape.
In our camp on the Guanuco river,
on the coast of Venezuela, savs a re
turned traveler, a little Irishman
named McCarty had a thrilling experi
ence. He was a reckless fellow, and,
rising one morning before the rest of
us were awake, he thought he would
take a swim. Running to the edge of
the high bank, he dived without first
looking about him, far out into the
water. As he came to the surface in
the middle ofr the narrow river, and
shook the water from his eyes, the first
sight that met his gaze was two jaguars .
on the opposite bank, looking at him
and snuffing inquisitively. He turned,
only to see on either side—and alto
gether too near—an alligator regard
ing him with marked attention; while
under the bank from which he had
leaped, lying with its tail in the water,
was coiled a big boa, that he must
have passed directly over in diving.
The situation was too much for Mc-
Carty, and he yelled for help. At his
outcry all of us ifi camp jumped to our
feet, grabbed shotguns and rifles, and
ran to the bank. There wo saw Mc-
Carty "treading water" out in the river
with jail liis unwelcome company about
gazing at him with growing interest.
They clearly had been taken aback by
the suddenness with which Jio bad ap
peared among them, but as their sur
prise wore off they seemed disposed
toward closer acquaintance.
We shot one of the jaguars and tho
boa; the other jaguar ran away. Then
we peppered the alligators with bul
lets and shot so hotly as to keep them
away from McCarty while he swam to
the shore. It was a tine sight to see
him clawing his way up the steep bank,
slipping back in the wet clay almost j
as fast as he climbed, until he got near
enough for us to give him a baud. He .
had a lucky escape and a practical •
illustration of the wisdom of the say
ing, "Look before you leap."
Thrilling Adventure of n Boy.
An lowa boy recently passed through
an experience which he will not forget
if he lives to be 100 years old. He is
only five years old, and one day when j
his father went to the wheat field to ;
drive the harvester he took him along 1
and perched him on the liigh seat at
his side. . For a time the little fellow (
watched tho yellow wheat lop over as
it was cut in a wide swath, and the tall .
arms sweep it back and bind it, and
finally the fat bundles being tossed
aside one by one. For a time all this
was very interesting, but presently the
little fellow grew tired and began to
squirm and complain. And then, just
as his father was leaning over to look
more closely at some of the machinery,
off tumbled the little fellow on the
conveyor. He shrieked just once,and
his father tried vainly to stop the
horses. But before he could even
slack the speed the boy had been driv
en up through the elevator canvas
with half a bundle of wheat, the bind- j
ing twine had twisted swiftly aronnd
his neck and legs, and he was rolled
out on tho wide carrier, securely hound
in a wheat bundle. He was almost
choked and there was a tiny bit of skin
torn from his shoulder, but otherwise j
he was unhurt when his father cut
the string and helped him up again. (
But a worse frightened boy would have
been hard to find.
Copperheads In Ills Cellar.
Albert Knapp, a farmer living at
Fislikill Village, N. Y., had a desper
ate fight on a recent night with five
copperhead snakes. Knapp went into
his cellar with a light to draw a pail
of cider for a party of friends, aud saw
a large snake coiled on a board.
Knapp secured a long-liandled hoe
and prepared to kill tho snake, when
he was horrified to see four others
come from under a large ice box in the
corner.
Knapp managed to kill all five of
the snakes, but was nearly exhausted
when he came from the cellar and told
of his terrible struggle with the ven- j
omous reptiles. Farmers in the neigh- 1
borhood cannot remember when poison
ous snakes have been so numerous as
this year. Tho wet weather is sup- i
posed to have something to do with
their appearance. More than 400 cop
perheads and rattlesnakes have been
killed there this season.
Largest House in tho World.
The largest house in tlio world is in 1
Wieden, a suburb of Vienna. In this
domicile there are 1400 rooms, divided
into 400 suites of from three? to six I
rooms each, and they at present shelter i
2112 persons, who pay an annual 1
rental of over 100,000 florms.
There are now four times as many j
wire nails made as cut nails.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
I'Ookc Wagon Tir*.
After so much wet weather it might
he supposed that wagon tires would |
give no t rohbl e on even the oldest and ;
most dilapidated wheels. This is true
so long a* the roads are muddy. But |
nowhere in August will the roads re
main wet very long. The previous
thorough wetting which the wheels i
have had during the recent wet '
weather has swollen the woodwork, j
which shrinks all the worse for this
when exposed to sun and winds. It
pays to paint the woodwork of wheels
once a year, doing it when the wood
is thoroughly dry. If the wheel has
an application of linseed oil when dry,
much of it will soak in the wood, and
the painting will last longer without
renewing.
When to Handle Her*.
To handle bees with the most satis
faction, select the warm, bright days, i
when the bees are flying most. The !
fact is, the warmer the day, the less
danger of stings.
Avoid as much as possible working
with them on cool, cloudy days, as
they will be always found more
irritable 011 such days. Also avoid
handling them early in the morning
and late in the evening, for the same j
reason.
Bees abhor being molested at night. (
aud no work cau bo performed with
them at that time with any satisfaction. !
They are always the most peaceable
when they are gathering honey, and
may be handled as safely as a brood of
chickens.
Sorghum For the Silo. 1
While 110 kind of grain as feed can
supersede corn in cheapness and value,
sorghum is a formidable rival to it for
fodder, especially when put up in the ;
silo. It stands drough better, which j
is likely to make it popular in the arid |
portions of the West, where corn often I
fails. The sorghum lias too tough a 1
stalk to feed greeu, hut when cut and |
putin the Hilo there is enough fermen
tation to soften the stalks so that they
can be eaten. The sweetness of the
sorghum furnishes carbonaceous nutri- .
uient just as does the starch of corn
grain, and in even more palatable form.
Wherever cane sugar is made in the |
.South the workmen who attend the
grinding always grow fat from the
sugar they eat.
Muck Overestimated.
Many people still think that block,
mucky soil must necessarily be very
rich. But the fact that it remains with
out fermentation shows either that it
has little nitrogenous value, or that it
is so saturated with water that it has
become sour. Yet we have known
many city people buy black muck from
swamps to pot flowers in, and pay
tweuty-flve to fifty cents per bushel
baskets for it, when dry earth from
the side of the road, with much less
vegetable matter, would be much bet
ter. Most muck, especially from ■
swamps, lacks mineral fertility. It is
easy to handle and to work in, and
this is what makes it popular. But it
needs both ammonia and potash to
give the best results.
Poor Milker*.
Success in dairying must depend
not only on having cows able to give a
liberal mess and keep at it, but also
on the kind of milkers employed. A
eareless, lazy milker will easily lose
more than his wages during the time
to is employed. Not only this, but he
will quickly convert a really good cow ;
Into a poor one. The milk which the
careless milker leaves in the udder is 1
always that which has the largest
amount of butter fats. If it is not
drawn the fat is re-absorbed into the
cow aud helps to dry her off. The
difficulty in getting help that can be
depended on is the great drawback in j
running a large dairy farm. It is also !
no light job to milk ten, twelve or
more cows twice every day. It will
make any man's hands tired until he
becomes used to it.
UrjinK Wet Grain.
All who are used to handling either
brick or tile, know that when thor- \
:>ughly dry they will absorb a great j
amount of water without being satu
rated. Advantage is taken of this fact 1
by grain dealers and farmers, who 1
place dry bricks which are easiest to j
handle and least likely to break among
damp grain to prevent it from heating.
It is surprising what an effect this will !
have if a very few bricks are inter- :
spersed through the heap. Each brick
will absorb fully half a pint of water 1
if it is dry to begin with. This will
dry out the surplus moisture out of a
good many bushels of damp grain.
This might be used in mowing away
damp hay or grain in the bundle, I
though in neither of these positions is
there so much likelihood of injury ns
there is where threshed damp grain is
closely confined in bins.
Waste of Sweet Cprn Stalk*.
This is the time of year when the .
sweet corn ears are gathered. l T s- I
ually 011 each stalk there aro two or
more ears, one fully ready for use as !
green corn, the other small and im
mature. To save this Inst the stalk
is left uncut. But in most cases the j
second and always the third ear is too j
small to he profitably marketed. !
Whenever there is only one ear 011 a
stalk it should at once he cut and fed
to the cow or horse. It is worth more .
then than it ever will ho again. We ;
are not sure that this is not true, even
when there are one or more nubbins
left 011 the stalk, if fed to milch cows.
Ordinary fodder corn is very poor feed.
It needs to he supplemented, as this
sweet corn fodder does, with a greater
amount of nutrition, which is worth as
much in increased milk yield as it is
in a few nubbins of corn. Sweet corn
fodder is more wasted than any other.
It ?s wasted in trying to save nubbins
of corn worth more for feeding than
they are for anything else.
