There is bell in Tokyo, Japan,
which is made from tobacco pipes.
SO says the legend inscribed around
the outside I'm four languages, English,
French, German and japanese.
The English version runs as follows:
This bell, cast in the city Of Tokyo,
Japan, Dec. 10, 1892, by Tsuda Sen, is
made from the metal Of tobacco pipes
OF more than a thousand men, once
slaves, now free men,"
The story Is that In 1892 woman
missionary from America waged war
on tobacco smoking and persuaded
over thousand men to forswear the
habit. They therefore had no further
use for their metal pipes, which were
melted down and cast in the form of
a bell. The metal resembles bronze,
and the bell has pleasant musical
ring
