Wet leather is damaged much more
readily than dry leather, says the hu-
rean of Chemistry, United States) De-
partment of Agriculture. But it ij
hard to get the average user of lea-
ther to keep this in mind, and as a
consequence much leather is damaged

great indeed was the gladness in the
hearts of the officers and members of
the church, for, in the slang of the
present day, they were some bells.
Although cast by hand before the
advent of modern mechanical contriv
anees and advance chemical practices,
these bells are of remarkable quality
and the secret of their superior sweet-
ness and the unusually great carry-
ing power of their tones remains an
unsolved mystery.
These musical bells kept company
with one of the signal lights one Ap-

Mr. John Francis Amherst Cecil,
with the name of a "younger son,"
and the position of one, that of first
secretary of the British Embassy in
Washington, is to wed an American
heiress, Cornelia Vanderbuilt. There
is nothing unusual in that, but when
he says: "I exjtect to spend the rest
