A NATURAL WONDER.
Ringing Rocks That sound Like q
hell When Struck.

bell When Struck.
With all manner of legends cluster
ing around their history and various
reasons given by geologists for their
presence. the Ringing rocks. two miles
north Of Pottstown. Pa, are the great
est natural wonders Of Montgomery
county. Although these rocks and
bowlders are scattered over a large ex-
tent Of territory, there is one place,
covering over two acres. where they lie
so closely together as TO suggest that
that particular spot was the center Of
n volcanic disturbance that rent the
eaHh and piled the rocks as they are
today. II is the general opinion that
the spot was once the crater of a vol
canO.
A rich. bell-like tone, n-siuced by
striking some OF the stones with a ham
mer. explains in part why the name Of
Ringing rocks" was given them. Wis
itors carried OF some of the smaller
stones OF unusual musical quality, but
this practice has been stopped.
Located some distance away from
the main deposit Of rocks are grOtesque
formations like the Haystack rock,
looking like a petrlfied haystack, but
rent from top TO bottom by a convul-
sion Of nature which probably also
made It a "leaning tower" In the
Bullfrog rock a company OF soldiers
could stand, the Umbrella rock could
shelter twenty or thirty. and the Stone
House and Cave, rising thirty feet in
height and covering half an acre OF
ground. suggests some Of the wonders
Of the Yosemite.
A cave under the rocks was pene
trated several years ago by Dr. w. b
Shaner and j. S. Bahr. who upor
throwing a stone into an opening could
hear II reverberating for a great dis
tance and then fall into a body OF wa
ter. This is surrounded by many leg
ends. One is that robbers made j
their rendezvous and into it carried al
their plunder, defying pursuers to fol
