CHIMES IN PEACE.
Iowa State College Happy Over Its New
Acquisition.


Ames, Dec. 21.-After a wait of. a
month or so since their arrival, the
Iowa State college chimes have at last
been placed in the tower erected for
their reception. The expert sent out
by the .Gorfmm company of New York,
who has the contract for putting in
the bells, placed Professor Lennox,
who has charge of the machine shops
of the mechanical department of the
college, in charge of putting in the
bells. The largest bell weighs 5000
pounds, and the other nine range from
that down to 600.
To hoist these pondrous things 116
feet from the ground was by no means
a small job, and after they were up
there is required no inconsiderable in>
genuity to get them into their proper
places in the tower.
Professor Lennox's inventive ability
overcame these difficulties, however,
with apparently little trouble.
A system of pulleys was used which
made it no trouble for a team of horses
to pull each bell up to the window
through which it was taken into the
tower. When at, the proper height,
the bell would be rolled into the tower
by device which was entirely original
with Professor Lennox, and which was
a great time saving arrangement.
The bells are all stationary except
the smallest one. A clock is also be-
ing put in, which will strike the quar-
tiers and halves, and at the full hour
the Westminster chimes will be rung.
