CowbellE

-.ralEa4. NI-sr4-rH .NFFIlEst Eu.a-.Al-=.
One Of the comparatively few things
that the hand of improvement bus not
touched is the COW bell. which is made
nov just as it was SO, 100 and more
years ago and has now just the same
peculiar, clanking sound rs ever. Cow
bells are made some. of copper aud some
of a composition metal, but most Of
them are made of iron and finished
with o coating Of bronze. The cowbell
is not cast. 1t is cut from q sheet Of
metal which is folded into shape and
riveted. The metal loop at the top,
through which the strap is passed. is
riveted into the bell. Cow bells are
made Of ten sizes, whose sounds range
through an octave. Sometimes musical
entertainers who play upon bells Of one
sort and another ON to the manufac-
turer and by selection among bells of
the various sizes find eight bells that
are accurate in scale.
There are only four factories in the
United States in which COW bells are
made, and in each case the COW bell is
only an item Of production among many
other things. Cow bells are sold all over
the country, just the same "a ever, but
much the greater number are sold in
the south, the southwest and the west,
where farms are larger, less likely to be
under fence, and cattle are more likely
to stray. There are sold in thoee parts
Of the country o hundred sdosen COW
BELLS to every ten dozen soldfnahe east.
American COW bells are exp9xted to the
various countries Of South HGhaerica and
to Australia New York Sun.

What He Saw For Himself and What the
Divers Told Him.
Ensign w. v. 7. Powelson was called
che third day Of the court. He testified
that he had been present on the Maine
every day from the arrival Of the boat
Fern, and during q great deal Of the
diving. He first gave a technical descrip-
ton Of the condition Of the wreck ae
nearly accurate as possible from his own
observations.
Ensign Powelson then asked IL the
court meant for him to say anything
about what the divers reported or just
what he saw.
The Judge advocate replied that he
would like to have him state any impor-
tant discoveries which, might lead the
court to draw some conclusion as to the
cause, and II u diver gave such informa.
ton to state the divers name. Before do
ing SO the judge advocate asked witness
to state II the forward and after part of
the ship were in line. Ensign Powelson
replied that as far as he could judge they
were 1Ot. The end where the explosion
occurred seemed to be pushed from port
to starb0ard from five to ten degrees, he
should judge, with the apex to the star.

that at a point where the lO-inch shell
room should be they discovered 10inch
shells regularly arranged but the ship
had sunk down 90 much that some Of the
shells were In the mud.

Gunner Morgan reported that in walk.

the port side and went down in the mud
He also reported that, as far al he could
Judge, everything seemed to be bent up
ward In the vicinity Of this hole. He also
reported that the plates seemed to have
been puahed over to the starboard and
then bent down.
Ensign Powelson then said that ae-inch
powder tank that he saw appeared to be
an empty tank broken by the explosion,
- 1t was not badly dented and merely
ripped the length Of the seam. A l0.inch
tank; was badly battered out Of any con.
ceivable shape.

Bssed on Observation.
Witness, In reply to further questions,
said his opinion wa based upon the OBJ
%servation Of things above water. He gave
no weight to Mr.. Morgan's statement
about falling into q hole on the port side,
because Morgan might have been mis-
taken about 1t. Referring to lis notes

deck was covered with q greasy deposit,
the starboard side being comparatively
free fromit.
The forward smoke pipe, between the
main and superstructure decks, did not
show signs Of tho internal pressure of
gases. On the main deck forward OF the
coming tower, where the fore and after
angle bulb beam was located, the plank
ing was blown OF on the only remaining
plate OF the main deck on the port
aide, while tho wood was still
attached to that part on the
starboard side between the coming tower
base and the turrets. What witness saw
would indicate that the pressure lifted
the protective deck up on the port side,
and the protective deck on the starboard
side held fast and bent that deck down

sketches to the court showing diagram Of
various parts Of the sunken ship and ex-
planned them to the court.

The poets blood was boiling,
Warmed by patriotic fire.

As he tuned his patent Tyre

Breathed a tinkers maledictiOn
On the few who chanced to live
To detract from Dewey's glory
When they had a life to give,
Close to Hong Kong.
