Of Topical Interest

HH Americans have, in their desire to record all aspects of life on the sound screen, recorded the = dying squeals of the animals slaughtered at the abattoirs in Chicago. HE new and the’ old have been uaintly mixed in a Cornwall villagy&. where the bells of the chira@ have not functioned for twenty-five years. The expenses of putting these bells in order being more than the population could bear, an ingenious scheme was lighted on. In the ancient, ivy-grown tower an elec-tro-dynamic speaker and power amplifier was installed. With the aid of a pick-up and a special record, conveniently situated in the manse, the bells chime out every time there is a‘call for them.
