THE OFFICE OF

RINGING CHURCH BILLS,

HOW IT IS DONE.

There is an intere ting article on this subject to the September issue of World's Work at Play. The author, Mr. C. A. Nevile, states that as a national pursuit, changeringing on church bells may be said to ranke very near to sport, inasmuch as it is widespread over the whole country, and is patronised by all classes. It differs from sport, however, in that it owes its popularity, not so much to the excellent exercise it affords, or to the feeling THE HONGKONG, CANTON AND of god-fellowship it engenders, as to the fact that the practice of the art is based on a ma [1203thematical science. It is both a science and an art, for the theory of it is science and the practice an art. Aptitude for ringing is to some small extent hereditary, because the exercise has in the past been confined to cer- TEOR TODAY TUESDAY), the 1st tain families, and information on the subject

handed down from father to son; but the quallicationt of a good ringer are those that any ordinary individual possesses, namely, quickness of eyes, alertness of mind, concen.. tration of thought, and a fair sense of time and tune. In addition to this, as so much depends on the members of a band working | together, the individual ringer must have the capability of acting in sympathy with the other, and ever be prepared against being misled by another's error.

"A touch" consisting of more than 5,000 changes. Is technically termed a "peal." It is usual to record an especially good peal by write ing particulars of it on a peal-board, and hang. ing it up in the belfry. Every belfry in which change-ringing is indulged in is furnished with

Each man in the belfry has one bell under his charge. When he wishes to strike, he pulls the rope with just as much weight as will carry the ball round one complete revolution til it is on the balance again. The clapper, meanwhile, set in motion with the bell, is carried along by

its own momentum, swings across, and strikes the opposite side of the ball just before the latter comes to rest. Thus each revolution of the bell corresponds to one note, Each man has his own bell completely under his own control, and times the ankes as he wishes by letting the bell remain a shorter or a longer time of the balance, according as to whether he has to strike early or late. When the bells are rung in rotation from the treble to the tenor down the scale, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, they are said to be rung in

The troops have been hard at work since we came here (Funghwangcheng), building roads and bridges, and in erecting large storehouses, writes Mr. R. J. MacHugh to the Daily Telegraph. Their method of bridge building is very simple. The materiál nearest at band is utilised in the work and most sub- stantial structures are put together in a won derfully short space of time. For instance, a bridge was built over a branch of the Tian River, close to the correspondent's camp, in about four days. This included the work of felling the trees, and transporting them to the bank of the stream. The pine trees in the wood where our camp is situated furnished both piles and stringers, the only sawn timber used being that employed for the chesses. ne morning a lot of soldiers appeared in our wood, and for a day and a half the crash of falling trees.was incessant.
