TUNING the Bells.

Troy, =. H.-The general impress
sion is that the tone of bell Is large
ly matter of accident, but this is
rot so. A bell must be tuned the
same as a piano or any other musical
instrument. Every bell has five
sounds, which must blend together in
perfect harmony, ard this is accom-
plished by shaving down certain parts
until the desired harmony is secured.
In the event CT shaving too deep the
bell is not injured, but the tuning
operation is prolonged. rs other parts
must be operated on and cut away to
a corresponding degree.
