AGED BELL FOUNDRY
LONDON HAS ONE THAT Is SEW
ERAL CENTURIES OLD.
Founded In 1870 It Is Still Turning
Out Work for Cathedrals and
Churches of the British
Empire.

London. This city has bell foundry
in Whitechapel road, founded in 1870.
where the big bells are still made. A
peal Of eight bells for the Rochester
cathedral was turned out few days
ago. Two are entirely new, the treble
and second bell -Four, which were cast
originally in 1885, 1868, 1895. and the
fourth having no date, have been made
over. Two of the old bells. cast In 1T12
and 1884, have been retained, The in
dustry calls for superior workmanship.
To be O successful bell founder one re-
quires not only to be a good musician
and mechanician, but he must also be
practical metallurgist and possess
some Of the qualifications OF an archi-
tect To be able to cast and tune bell
In consonance with others of the peal,
one must have precise musical ear, and
as bell metal is mixture OF copper and
tin 1.-THE latter being somewhat less than
fourth of the whole weight. it would
be ruinous II the bellfounder were not
an expert.
But the onerous duties of the bell
founder do not end there. He has to
make the bell wheels and fittings, and
in order to appreciate the strength OF
the belfry in which the bells are to be
hung, he must have good knowledge of
architecture. And still further TO insure
success he must be a bell-ringer. All
these attributes are to be found at the
foundry whence the great bell OF West
minister. the largest ever cast In Lon
don; the great ben of Montreal cathe-
dral, the largest ever shipped; Great
Petet' of York Minister; Great Tom" OF
Lincoln cathedral; the clock bells of st.
Paul's (the hour bell ringing since 1709) !;
Bow Bells" of Cheapside, and host OF
others, had their origin
The industry Is most interesting one
In all its branches. To begin with the
casting of large bells, the shape of the
bell is vital factor. II is its SOUL AL
though the shape has not changed per-
ceptibly for hundreds Of years, yet to the
eye of the expert the advance Of science
can be SEEN The first difficulty is TO get
the shape true That done, the tone Will
be true.
To bring this about an iron mold Is

much like coal. The peat is pressed
through an open tube. instead OF against
a fixed resistance mold. and the only
base is the movable base OF Other
briquettes being pushed out ahead, which
offer resistance by friction against the
side of the mold. Yet that resistance
gives a pressure of 80 tons to the square
inch, and makes brtquette much more
dense than could be secured by pressure
In fixed die. The surface Is then
scared, or glazed, to make It weather
proof.
And because tails new plan has been

quantities at one dollar or less per

five dollars per ton for II. In order that

But these peat makers seem to have
the bcst of the argument. az the peat
lands are al but worthless without

required. 1t Is fundamentally correct
a core of brickwork with lining of loan
on the top. The core and lining Is so
manipulated that space Is left for the
exact thickness Of the bell. The next
step is to place the mold In loan
pit. The loan, which is In the vicinity
Of the furnace In which the metal Is
mixed and melted. must be absolutely
dry. Wet or damp, an explosion will
occur. The mold is then buried with the
exception Of the orifice to which the
metal is drawn from the furnace. When
the mold is full, a pool Of molten metal
is left on the top of the pit. SO as to obvi-
ate the mischance of making an un-
sound head to the bell. A bell In COOL
ing contracts and the greater thickness
of the base draws the metal away from
the upper part; hence the necessity for
the pool of metal.
When the metal is cooled. the mold is
taken from the pit and the extraneous
parts cut off from the head. II neees-
sary, 1t Is then tuned. In the case Of the
Rochester peal, the bells were cast to
act in unison with the old or tenor
bell. which has been doing duty for soms
80 years. II the new bell happens to be
too sharp, it is placed on the tuning ma
chine. head downward. This machine
works In circle and cuts metal from
the inside of the bell. This process is
continued until the correct note has been
obtained. A bell can be sharpened only
by cutting II down. but this Is rarely re-
sorted to.
Next comes the fitting Of the tongue
or clapper. This IL delicate operation.
The staple Is first forged. then the clap
per and Its stem are welded together. and
the lot fitted In with mathematical pre-
cision. In the forge the steel frames are
also made.
The bell is identified with wheel and
head stock. The wheels are made in two
halves OF English oak, and. as In other
parts OF the foundry. everything is Eng
fish. a circumstance all the more re-
markable when scarcely an Enelishman

PEAT AS NEW FUEL.
CHICAGO CONCERN READY TO
MANUFACTURE IT.

Yankee ingenuity has dragged II from
those ancient settings into the strong
light of modern industrial utility. to act
as guide 10 the common people, To lead
them, In fact from the coal barons'
Egypt into promised land, which shall
be smokeless, sootless, sulphurlosa and
cinderSess. Yankee ingenuity has
found way to manufacture excellent
coal out OF Yankee peat. the new process
being made practicable by certain pat
ented machinery invented BY Chicago
man, J. Campbell Morrison by name.
But whether the common people will
be benefited financially thereby to any
material extent Is an open question.
since the new process is owned by q cor
poration, and corporations are heartless
things. The process is already dem
onstrated success to the point that this
new manufactured peat coal is being
made every day in Chicago, and when
put to use as a steam riser or for do
nestle fuel it answers all the require
ments of the most perfect and econom-
ical sort of fuel. 1t has as great heat
value as anthracite; 1t will burn as long.
and It is a conspicuously good fuel In
that 1t Is actually smokeless.
Like all good things with a COM
mercial value, however. the science of
making coal out OF waste prairie lands
and marsh ground is not to be pushed
as a philanthropy TO give the people q
rebate on their winters coal bills, or TO
clean our city skies, although both may
follow as incidental advantages This
new application Of science to the crea-
ton OF wealth was no sooner perfected

Now Unlawful to Shoot Birds in
West Virginia.

The open season for cartridges,
pheasants and wild turkeys expired
Tuesday. and it is now unlawful. to
kill these birds. While the birds
were fairly plentiful this season, the
largernumber killed and the recent
severe weather and scarcity of food
have operated to pretty nearly ex-
terminate the coveys in this section.
Unless something is done to preserve
the few scattered birds yet alive, the
sport next fall will be productive of
