TONE or CRACKED BELLS.

Every once in q while someone some
where wants to know how to restore
the tone OF cracked bells. II is not
usually q question Of economy either,
but often one Of affection. for each
bell has an individuality OF tone that
no substitute can replace TO those who
have heard II as a familiar voice
through many years. Discussing this
subject In its April number Popular
Mechanics magazine states:
Every attempt 90 far made to re.
store the tone OF cracked bells has
proved unsuccessful. In many instan-
ces the cracks have been fled and
sawed out and hot bell metal has been
poured In. but the results have been
the same, Bell metal Is an alloy com
posed Of 10 per cent copper and 20
per cent tin.
"'The only way the tone OF crack
ed bell can be restored Is by recaating
H." says the manager Of the McShane
Bell Company. There have been any
number Of experiments made by those
claiming TO restore the tone In various
ways. but these experiments have
never been successful
"The same assertion ls made ~
Chester Msneely. Of the Meneely Bell
Company. who says that the hot bell
metal will not fuse properly and the
cFacks appear after q few blows have
been struck with the hammer"
