CHURCH BELLS "MIRACLE"
When they heard the bells of the little church of Sante San Pietro, Italy, ringing for a number of days and nights, appai*ently by themselves, the villagers thought it portended a miracle. The clappers OJ the bells were tied, and the parish priest locked the bell tower and put the key in his pocket. But still the bells went on ringing. Finally the local electrician atecovered the bells were being, rung elec trically, as the overhead wire for the tramway line between Lucca and Maggiano had come into contact with the. belfry. That night the villagers were able to sleep again.
