oratOns, gold and silver being lavished on parts
Of its surface. The principal ornament is a con-
ventionalized dragon. the eyes inlaid with gold
and the lines forming the body Of silver wire
The characters forming the inscription on both
sides are also made Of silver wire. A vast
amount Of historic and sacred lore clusters
around this bell Bells OF this pattern were
known long before historical recollection. The
Emperor Huang-Ti in the twenty-second cen
fury B. c.. and others still earlier are said to
have cast bells. This means that bells were
among the earliest elements of Chinese culture
and are probably as old the early sacrifcial
vessels among the ancient bronze works.
The rules and regulations Of the Chou
dynasty the Chou-Li. give an account of what
a bell ought to be, the alloy of which is stated
to be five parts of copper and one part OF tin,
and should contain less tin in proportion than
other bronze works, such as lances, swords, ar
row heads and hatchets. The highest proper
ton Of tin. 80 per cent of the alloy was used in
the metallic mirrors, The Chou-Li did not know
the use Of an admixture Of silver. like the pious
people Of the Middle Ages. who sacrificed their
family treasures to be melted and cast into
church bells.
The art OF casting bells was in full sway in
China in the first millennium Is. c. One of the
main differences of the Chinese bell from that
of European manufacture is the absence of q
clapper. The large bells are not swung, but
securely sustained by ropes and chains fastened
to the handle in a frame constructed Of strong
beams. The bell was struck by a wooden log
suspended from above by two ropes and allow
ing the log to swing against a certain part of
the bell, the striking Of which would bring out
the sound to the best advantage. Nearly all
the bells were covered with q characteristic
ornament OF the period. but the ornaments of
the Chou dynasty were often initiated later on

style OF a huge convex lens The lower open
ing was somewhat wider than the top part. The
side surfaces showed either straight lines or
Slightly convex ones. thus giving the bell the
shape Of a hattened barrel, with little resem-
blance to the bells Of Europe
The top OF the old bell In this collection has
a tube sticking out to allow a rope or chain to
be attached Among its odd and peculiar orna-
ments are number OF thumbIike projections,
from the size OF a button to that OF a finger
arranged in three rows of three or four sites. in
all twenty-six projections. All the ancient bells
OF this kind show these buttons. which are
thought to have been used for the purpose OF
regulating the sound Of the bell since the bell
was one Of the chief musical instruments used
in tuning the temple orchestra Some OF these
projections show traces OF having been fled
down to obtain certain pitch Of sound The
bell was divided into parallel sections, care
fuIIy ranged IN their dimensions The one run
ming around somewhat below the middle was
designated as that part on which the bell was
to be struck. Some Of the designs on the upper
sections of the bell now in the Museum Of Nat

found on certain bells described in the catalogue
