The King of Spain is the only monarch who does not sign his name to documents and edicts. His signature is simply "Yo, el Rey"—"l, the King." One of the oldest and most curious samples of the locksmith's art is attached to the dc»or of Temple Church, London. The key weighs 71b., is 18in. long, and the lock was made to fit it. The amount of air that a man will inhale in twenty-four hours will fill seventy-eight hogsheads and weigh 531b. A church organ has recently been made in Belgium which is composed entirely of paper, the pipes being rolls of cardboard. The sound is sweet and powerful.
