Total Products.

The total product for 1901 was 55,T7.-

1900 OF s.21s4 404 gallons. The value of
this product is 1855. 1862, an increase Of
s1,3i1, 190 ever the value of the product
OF the previous year. II is of interest to
observe that the average price per gall
Ion for 1901 is abou- 1876 cents, as COM
pared with 12.5 cents in 1900.
The North Atlantic States show the
greatest gain in the number of springs.
and the greatest gain in production and
value. There is net gain Of 55 springs
for this section, IS having been added
and only 3 being dropped. This leaves
the total for 1901 at 249. as compared
with 1874 in 1900.
The main addition was in Massachu-
setts, where the State board of health
has recently made thorough ex-
animation of spring waters, with the
result that 50 new springs have been
added to the list. OF the other acquisi-

Under Wrong Impression.

Contrary to the popular impression.
the bell did not ring at Philadelphia on
July 4. l776. after the passage of the
Declaration of Independence Its service
to American independence was that it
called the colonists to public meeting
at the State House on July s, I77s. at
which the Declaration OF Independence
was first proclaimed.
If the Liberty Bell comes to st. Louis
1t Will be the sixth journey the bell has
taken. The BELLS first Journey was from
Philadelphia TO Allentown in 1777. to
save IL from falling into the hands of the
British. when the Americans evacuated
Philadelphia. The other four journeys OF
the bell have been TO American exposi-
tfons: To New Orleans, on the east bank
OF the Mississippi River, in 1885; to Chi
cago in 1885,; to Atlanta in 1895, and to
Charleston in 1901.
