BELLs.-The nearer bells are hung to
ahe surface of the earth, other things be-
ing equal, the further they can be heard.
Franklin has remarked that many years
ago the. inhabitants Of Philadelphia had
bell imported from England. In order to
Judge of the sound it was elevated on a
triangle IN the great street of the city, and
struck, as il happened on market day,
when the people were coming to market,
were surprised on hearing the sound Of a
bell at a greater distance from the CITY
than they had ever heard any bell before,
This circumstance excited the attention
of the curious; and it was discovered thai
the sound of the bell, when struck in the
street, reached nearly double she distance
it did when raised in the air.
