been held that cracked bell is impossible t,
mend unless the whole thing is melted uE
and remoulded. For this reason cracked bells
have always been sent back to the foundry to
be melted up. The successful repairing of
the cracked bell in the Episcopal Church, by
Mr.. G. M. Irvine, of the V. & T. Railroad
Shops, is a thing never attempted before. ex-
cept in this city. He first made an assay Of
the material and found that it was composed
of 81 pounds of copper to one pound of tin.
He then melted up quantity of tin and cop
per in like proportion and run the molten
mass into the crack If the bel first laying
| the bell on it's side and surrounding 1t With
| earth. It filled the crack, and after cooling,
the supurtiuous mass of metal was removed
! and the new metal filed down to level with
the old. About $50 pounds of material was
used to get the 81 pounds necessary to fill the
crack. This was done because less amount
would have cooled too quickly. The old
Centennial bell which first rang out the vel
come tidings to the world that the Declare
ton of Independence had been signed, is
cracked in the same way, and no attempt has
been made to rejoin it, bell founders holding
the thing to be impossible. If the old bell
can be sent to Mr.. Irvine, he will put it in
such condition that it will ring out as clearly
as it did on the morning of July 4th 1916.

A WORD ABOUT CLOTHES. clothes do |
not make the man, but they 90 long way |
toward making the outside Of him. Only |
truly great men can pass muster in old and |
badly fitting clothes. Some people labor |
under the foolish impression that they cannot |
appear in suit of clothes unless it is made BY |
a fashionable tailor in San Francisco. This
is a foolish exhibition of pride, not to say
ignorance, when clothes just as
good can be purchased of Koppel & Plat for
half the money The dealers in ready made
clothes are now able to turn cut goods that
can successfully compare with those which
are made to order. Koppel & Platt have
lust laid in an immense invoice of Winter
ysods marked clear down to the bottom notch.
