_Cachecope Bell_ (Vol. iii., p. 407.).--Is it possible that this word

may be a corruption of the low Latin "Catascopus" (Gr. [Greek:

kataskopos]), and that it was applied to a bell which a watchman tolled

to give an alarm of fire, &c.? I have seen a bell set apart for this

duty, in churches on the continent.
