THE LEGEND OF THE GREAT
BELL TEMPLE:
SOUTH AFRICAN ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE.
The greatest bell in the world is the Tsar Kolokol of Moscow-the Great Bell of the Kremlin. It was cast in 1733, and measures 60 feet round the rim and 19 feet in height. Having been broken in the fire of 1737, it was never bung, and remains to this day supported | by, a circular, stone wall. The largest bella actually hung are the five cast at Peking in the beginning of the 15th century, by order of the Chinese emperor. Yung Lo. Each of these bells is 18 feet high, 45 feet round, and 9 inches thick-being much nar- rower at the base then the Kremlin bell, on account of the cylindrical or barrel shape in which the Chinese bells are cast. Two of them are placed in temples within the walls of Pek- lazing another is in the Imperial Palace

Now Kuan Yu bad a daughter, about six teen years of age-his only child; and, on returning to his house, he endeavoured to relieve his mind by narrating to this fair maiden the story of his failures and the Emperor's threat. Like a dutiful daughter, Ko-ai did her best to encourage her father, who devoted himself once more to his task with redoubled energy. Meanwhile, the daughter betook her self to a celebrated astrologer to ascertain the cause of these frequent failures, and learnt from him that the third attempt would like wise prove futile, were not the blood of a maiden mixed with the metal as it settled into its ultimate shape in the mould. Though struck with horror at such an announcement, Ko-al resolved, on her way home, to sacrifice herself rather than allow her father to be dis graced; and accordingly, on the day appointed, having obtained permission to be present at the ceremony, to rejoice in his success she took up her position near the mould, in front of the immense crowd which had assembled to witness the final frial which was to result in either honour, or degradation and death for Kuan Yu. The pouring of the metal was witnessed in dead silence by the vast assemblage, when suddenly a shriek was heard, and with a cry of for my father's sake, Ko-al was seen to hurt herself headlong into the seething stream. The father, being restrained from leaping after his daughter, became a raving lunatic; but when the mould was afterwards removed, and the bell suspended and struck, the astrologer's prophecy was fulfilled, for it was found to be perfect in every particular."
Now comes the point to which we want to call attention. Ko-ai jumped in so suddenly not SIEMSSEN & Coal one of the bystanders having the slightest fan notion of witht was going to happen, that no Hongkong, 18th May, 189,.:

you and your sister care to come to tea with me in the members enclosure I will meet you behind the Pavilion at 4:30 whichever day you like, I am afraid I shall not be able to come and take you for the walks round the ground as you suggested and as I should have very much Benjoyed doing, because these are Rovers' tic- keis, and I shall not know where to find you. Perhaps, however, wa may manage something of the kind after tea
Yours very sincerely,
ted too often,
By the way, 1 admit. that your pretty little nicce to whom you once introduced me la Derbyshire, but whom you do not invite to stay with you for the seasod, knows more than a little about cricket. She plays matches in a charming green skitt, and she bowled me clean at the ragged net in the rectory field, and, if the. wicket was not perfect, her figure was. If you' had been going to bring her to Lerdanext week. instead of your sister, she would have explained everything to you in the softest whisper that would have disturbed nobody, and toned down your more idiotic expressions, while I should not have swarped the best seats in Block B. for the Rovers tickets that fell to the lot of my younger brother simply in order to lose you as effectually as possible.
As it is, I have now given you a few instruc- tions that will be entirely wasted on you. May I add that the summer sales began early this year, and that the remnant counters at Debgrove and Snelbody's are piled with unpa ralleled bargains, while their Paris models are being simple given away? I do not write of Hurlingham, the Hippodrome, or .Henley: they are alliterative, if you know what that is; but I fear inadequate, to, the task of turning you from your fell purpose. Should you, however, think that your stock of extravagantly unnecessary clothing may need to be supplemented cheaply, you may thank me far reminding you of the other attractions which July brings to rival cricket. In that case send me back the tickets at once, or for- ward them to "The Reverend John Jones-, Robinson, Ditchley-in-the-Mud Rectory, Rut- land." He would make better use of them than you will. I know you won't give my love to your niece, so it is of no use my asking you to do so.
Yours truly,
