E.-HAND BELLS.
Peals of Hand Bells for practising change-ringing, or for tune playing, may be obtained from any of the chief bell founders. In ordering it is necessary to mention the key-the largest bell striking the key-note; and if required for tune playing, it is advisable to get some "accidentals," sharps or naturals, so as not to be confined to the harmonies of one key.
For plain change-ringing, a useful set of bells is a peal of twelve in G or A, with an accidental sharp second, which gives a small handy peal of eight. For tune playing, no peal is worth having if less than two octaves and some extra bells.
The following would form a useful set :-Two octaves in G, with two F naturals and two C sharps. This peal can be easily added to, by three bells above and four below, so as to get three octaves in C major if required at any time.
Some idea of the cost may be obtained from the specimen peals that are annexed ; but all bell founders have different rates, so the prices are merely approximate.
Size 15, Eight in C about£4-, 18, Eight in G £5 ss. , 15, Twelve in C £s ss . ., H!, Twelve in G £6 6s. , 18, Fifteen in G (two octaves), ... £7 , 22, Twenty-two in C (three octaves), £15
If semitone bells or accidentals are required, the prices will be increased accordingly.

LAW WITH REGARD TO BELLS.
'' Though Churchwardens have a general power to manage everything connected with the fabric, this does not include the right to interfere with the bells, so far as to decide independently of the Minister when they shall be rung for purposes not directly con· nected with the summoning of the parishioners to worship. It may
be taken to be perfectly clear law, that the Churchwardens have no power whatever to order that the bells shall be rung on this or that occasion, without the permission of the Minister." [Frqm Whitaker's
Almanack, T879].
The following paragraphs are taken from "The Book of Church Law," by Rev. J. Blunt and W. Phillimore, D.C.L.
"The Vicar or Rector alone has any legal right to the keys of the ••• belfry . . . and no one can legally use them for entrance thereto except by his permission. In cases where churchwardens have . . . in any way obtained access to the . . . belfry without the permission of the incumbent, they have been severely censured by the judges, and condemned in costs." (page 271).
" Access cannot be had to the belfry, nor can the bells be rung without his (the incumbent's) consent."
'·The bells of a certain place were rung contrary to the express order of the Vicar, the doors of the belfry being broken open for
the purpose. The ringers were prosecuted, and condemned in
costs; but being unable to pay, remained in prison for five weeks."
(page 323).

H.-FORM OF SERVICE FOR THE DEDICATION OF CHURCH BELLS.
(TAKEN BY PERMISSION FROM "CHURCH BELI..S, ")
Tlu bdls being suspended at a convenient height, the Ministn- or Bishop, if present, standing on the East side, begins:
Our Father, &c. Amen. V. Sing we merrily unto GoD our strength. R. Make a cheerful noise unto the God of Jacob. V. 0 GoD, make speed to save us. R. 0 Lord, make haste to help us. V. Glory be to the FATHER, and to the SoN, and to the Ho1..v

without end. A mm. V. Praise ye the LORD. E. The Lord's Name be praised. Antiphon. Praise Him upon the well-tuned cymbals. Praise
Him upon the loud cymbals.
PSAI..M CL.
0 praise God in His holiness : praise Him in the firmament of His power.
Praise Him in His noble acts : prais.e Him according to His excellent greatness.
Praise Him in the sound of the trumpet : praise Him upon the lute and harp.
Praise Him in the cymbals and dances : praise Him upon the strings and pipe.
Praise Him upon the well-tuned cymbals : praise Him upon the loud cymbals.
Let everything that bath breath : praise the Lord. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen.

Our help is in the Name of the LORD ; R. Who hath made Heaven and earth. V. Blessed be the Name of the LORD, R. From this time forth for evermore.

Then the Minister or Bishop shall say : V. The LORD be with you. R. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.

ALMIGHTY GoD, who by the mouth of Thy servant Moses didst -command to make two silver trumpets for the convocation of solemn assemblies, be pleased to accept our offering of this the work of our hands, and grant that through this generation, and through those that arc to come, it may continually call together Thy faithful peo· ple, to praise and worship Thy Holy Name, through JEsus CHRIST our LoRD. Amen.
Grant, 0 LORD, that whosoever shall be called by the sound of these bells to Thine House of Prayer, may enter into Thy gates with thanksgiving, and into Thy courts with praise ; and finally may have a portion in the new song, and among the harpers, harping with their harps in Thine house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.
Grant, 0 LORD, that whosoever shall, by reason of sickness or any other necessity, be shut up, so that he cannot go into the house of the LORD, may in heart and mind thither ascend, and have his share in the communion of Thy saints, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.
Grant, 0 Lord, that they, who with their outward ears shall hear the soundofthese bells, may be aroused inwardly in their spirits, and draw nigh unto Thee the Gon of their salvation, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.
Grant, 0 LORD, that all they, for whose passing away from this world the bell shall sound, may be received into the paradise of Thine elect, and iind grace, light and everlasting rest, through JESUS CHRIST our LCllm, to whom with THEE, and the HOLY GHOST, be all honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
PsALM CXXIL
I was glad when they said unto me : We will go into the house of the Lord.
Our feet shall stand in thy gates: 0 Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built as a city : that is at unity in itself. For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord : to
testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord. For there is the seat of judgment : even the seat of the house
of David. 0 pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love
Thee. Peace be within Thy walls: and plenteousness within Thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes: I will wish Thee
prosperity. Yea, because of the houoe of the Lord our God .: T will seek tw
-do Thee good.
Appendix.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen. Antiphon. I was glad when they said unto me: We will go into
the house of the LORD.
The Ri1tgers will then sound one short peal, after which will be Slllti{ :
Now at length our bells are mounted To their holy place on high,
Ever to fulfil their mission, Midway 'twixt the earth and sky.
As the birds sing early matins To the GoD of nature's praise ;
This its nobler daily music, . To the GoD of grace shall raise.
And when evening shadows soften, Chancel cross, and tower, and aisle ;
It shall blend its vesper summons, With the day's departing smile.
Christian men shall hear at distanee, In their toil or in their rest,
J oying that in one communion Of one church they, too, are blest.
They that on the sick bed languish, Full of weariness and woe,
Shall remember that for them, too, Holy Church is gathering so.
Year by year the steeple music O'er the tended graves shall pour;
There the dust of saints is garnered Till the Master comes once more-
Till the day of sheaves ingathering, Till the harvest of the earth,
Till the saints rise in their order, Glorious in their second birth.
Till Jerusalem, beholding That His glory in the east,
Shall, at the Archangel trumpet, Enter in to keep the feast.
Christ to T!)ee, the world's salvation, Father, Spirit, unto Thee,
Low we bend in adoration, Ever blessed One and Three. Amen.
THE BLESSING.

!.-TABLE SHEWING DURATION OF PEALS, ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF CHANGES RUNG PER MINUTE.
Changes 1000 15040 per Minute. will take will take about
This table may be useful to persons listening to a peal, for reckoning the time at which the bells ought to come round. A false peal might be detected in this manner. The " rate " should not be taken until the bells have had time to settle into their proper compass, i.e., towards the end of the first half hour, for, as the striking becomes more regular, it is likely to get rather quicker. But when a peal is being performed by a party of good ringers, on bells they are accustomed to, it is probable that the " rate " will vary very little all the way through, and each part-end might be expected to come up exactly at the appointed time. This would be a proof of first-rate ringing.
There are some very interesting remarks on this subject in Mr. Snowdon's ''Treatise on Treble Bob," Part I.
K.-CHIMING APPARATUS.
In places where the requisite number of men can be found capable of chiming all the bells for church services in the ordinary way-by swinging-and when the ringers are willing and able to do so regularly, this method is much to be preferred, as the full tone of the bells is brought out much more fully thereby. But in other less fortunate places, an apparatus, by means of which the whole ring can be sounded by one man, is found of great convenience, and may sometimes be even considered a necessity.
To provide for such cases, we would draw attention to the simple contrivance invented by the Rev. H. T. Ellacombe, ·and now fre-
Appmdi.r.
quently put up, with some slight modifications, by the leading bellhangers. The bells are all fitted with extra hammers and ropes, which are brought down into the ringing-chamber, or even to the floor of the tower. These can be connected for use in chiming, or disconnected at pleasure, and in no way interfere with the ordinary ringing, nor is there any risk of injury to the bells.
The annexed diagram has been especially prepared for us by Messrs. Taylor of Loughborough, and is a facsimile of the apparatus put up by them in St. Paul's Cathedral.
'Ve would also call attention to the advertisement of Messrs. Warner on the same matter.
The pnce of erecting this chiming apparatus may be roughly .calculated at from 30s. to 40s. per bell.
L.~DALE'S CLAPPER STAYS.
Dale's "Clapper Stay" for silent practice on bells is shown at Fig. r ; it is inade of wood, to which i; hing-ed another small piece,
Appendix. 139 ~--~-----····- --- - -----·------
C, at B ; it is opened and placed on the Clapper just above the ball, as shewn at Fig. 2, and fastened by means of a very simple fastening (A, Fig. I). It can be attached or removed in about
five seconds, and with it the bell goes much steadier than when the Clapper is lashed with ropes. Price about Is. 6d. per bell. It may be as well to add that as the inventor has not taken out a patent for this Clapper Stay, it may be made by any carpenter by referring to the diagram.
M.-DUMB PRACTICE APPARATUS.
The Editors have much pleasure in drawing attention to Mr. Seage's invention, by means of which any band of ringers can practice in the steeple to their hearts' content, and yet cause no annoyance to persons outside. The main principle of the invention may be easily explained as follows : A set of small handbells or gongs is fixed in the ringing-chamber and connected by wires with the big bells above. The latter have their clappers lashed, or are kept silent by means of "Dale's Clapper Stays, " but when rung in the usual manner, cause the gongs below to sound their respective notes, and thus enable the ringers to test the correctness of their striking.
This apparatus has been in constant use by the Oxford University Society for some years, and has ·been of the greatest value. Cost of setting up about .£2 per bell. See advertisement, page 150.

N.-BELL ROPES.
In ordering ropes, it is only necessary to give the height from floor of ringing-chamber to top of bell frame, stating also the weight of the tenor.

INV ENTOR :
E. SEAGE, IJ, CODRINGTON STREET, EXETER.
TH E above inven tion, having for its object the successful acquirement of Scientific Change-U..inging without the annoyance to the public caused by the practice of
inexperienced ringers, is an invaluable a djunct to a ll ~teeples. The method by which this desirable end is attained is by means of a mechan ical arrangement fixed in the belfry a nd bell-chamber, by which , when the cla ppe rs of the large bells are lashed, the motions are accurately conveved to t he ringers by the striking of small bell s, which ring in peal in the exact time in which the tower bell~ would be striking in open ringing.
Th e apparatus has for several years been before the public, it has b"en tried in various towers in England and Scotland, and its success has been unexceptional.
Fo11owing are a few of the places where the inven tion has been in use :-Bampton, N orth Devon; Bradninch (St. Paul's); Burton ·on-Trent (St. Paul's); Chittlehampton, North Devon; Crawley, Sus!'.ex; Colchester(St. Peter's); Dunster, Somerset; Exeter (St. Sidwell's); Edinburgh (St. Mary's Cathedral; Great Totham, \Vitham, E ssex ; Hursley, Winchester; London (St. John's, Pimlico); Merton, Beaford, North Devon; New Zealand (Cathedral); New College, Oxford; St. Mary's Church, Devon; Tiverton, Devon (St. Peter's); Shipbourn, near Tunbridge (St. Giles); Tiverton (St. Peter's); Woburn, Beds; Winchester College; Weybridge, Surrey.

THE BELL NEWS AND RINGERS' RECORD:
A 7ournal of the Rin.r;in.~ Exercise; and Compendium of Information for the Clergy and Churchwardens.
On and after APRIL 8th, 7882, the above will appear as a WEEKLY publication.
The succe>S which has attended the introduction of the above paper ha;; determined it;; projectors to bring it out on the above date as a weekly publication. This will be carrying out the wishes of many of its present subscribers, who have looked for some time for such an announcement to be made. THJc BELL NEWS AND RINGERS' RECORD will continue to be a faithful reflex of all matters connected with the Art of Ringing, and endeavours will Le made so that all performances may be recorded in a satisfactory and lucid manner. The value of such a journal as THE BELL NEWS as a medium for the interchange of opinion among the Exercise has been definitely established.
The editorial duties are conducted by a practical ringer and composer, and valuable assistance is also afforded in this direction by the majority of the most successful ringers and composers of the day. The paper deals with all subjects that are supposed to affect, or be of interest to the ringing art, and articles from time to time appear upon many matters pertinent to the science from pens of acknowledged ability.
In bringing out the weekly issue the projectors hope to more fully and firmly establish the paper as a vehicle of usefulness to all concerned, and as its progress and circulation has hitherto been steadily increasing, it is hoped that every one interested in bells from whatever point of view may assist the aims it has m view by becoming subscribers.
The desire of its promoters is to make for THE BELL NEWS a position as a paper welcome to all Churchmen, and having this aim in view, original articles on subjects immediately connected with this object will appear from time to time. ----
