The Grade of Pine Street.

The re-paving OF the lower end OF Pine
street, o in progress, has put many
AUDITORS to considerable expense and in
convenience, because the old grade of the
street has to be- changed. The lines of

souths side OF the street, but on the
north side many old buildings like that
occupied by the X. l.. Rose Company, find
their ground loo openings anywhere
from one to two feet below the sidewalk
as the new grade demands. Commissioner
Smith says the new grade is not new, it
being really the old grade, which was es-
tablished a long time ago, but which the
AUDITORS did not conform to, thinking
that there would be time enough later
on. Instead, however, OF having to raise
the buildings implicated, he says 1t will
only be necessary TO raise tie floors. In
the meantime pedestrians have to raise
their feet in order to pass through.

The general form OF the church bell
was perfected ky medieval founders,
and no radical change from this has
ever been made with good results. 1t
has been argued by some that bells of
hemispherical shape, without the usual
flare at the bottom, would give purer
tone, but this theory is not in accord
with the facts. The lines OF the new

tons. 1t will take rank, therefore, very
creditably, among the largest bells OF
the world-the largest in England, the
Westminster bell weighing about the
same, while one in Vienna, the largest
in actual use in Europe, weighs about 20
tons. 1t is true that the monster of
Moscow, which lies broken and pros
trate, weighed more than 200 tons; but
It was simply a huge mistake, which
having failed as bell is now used as a
chapel. 1t is stated, too, that there is
n monstrosity somewhere in China that
weighs about 60 tons; but its shape is
abominable, and its tone eXcruciating

were determined by Mr.. F. p. Lott, su-
periptcndcnt OF the Buckeye foundry,
where the belliscast according to n rule
of his own devising-but this rule is
carefully regarded as n trade secret,
too valuable for publication. The
metal used is the usual alloy of copper
and tin in the ratio OF IS to 20. No other
metals or proportions give so satisfac-
tory result. The idea that an ndmiX-
ture of silver will sweeten the tone is a
popular delusion.
To produce such casting requires,
when all is ready, upwards of eighty
hours. and the slightest mismanagc-
ment would result in failure. Even Tie
cooling must be carefully regulated.
There is perhaps but one other foundry
in the United States-that at Troy, n.

Bells have been cast which required
