A. curious object lesson of tho
enormous pressure of water is furI
nished bywhat was once a diying-bellI
designed to be used in Lake Michii
gan, but now shapeless mass Of
metal. 1t was a hollow cube of about
six feet, constructed Of plates Of phosI
or-bronze fve-eighths of an incl
thick. The windows through which
the divers could look were thred
inches square and were strengthened
with iron bars, while the window
panes were made Of glass plates al
inch in thickness. The who'll
weight Of the bell was rather moro
than ten tons. When it was finished
it was sent to Milwaukee, and the1l
toEed about 10 miles into the lake.
where there is a depth Of something
like 200 feet Of water Then it wal
lowered, with strong timbers attached
to it, in order to. test its strength
After it had reached the bottom, il
was noticed that the timbers came uni
in splinters, and when the bell waA
pulled up, it was crushed out of all
recognition Of it's former shape, while
the windows, in spite Of their
streR 9Th, we're simply pulverized. Il
has been calculated that at the depth
to which the bell descended the pres
sure was just on 81 pounds to tho
square inch, which would give a total
pressure Of 353,924 pounds on each
side Of the bell, and would give a re-
sulting pressure Of over ], 800 tons on
