Bell Must Be Tuned.

!. The general impression Is that the
tone of a bell is largely matter Of
accident. but this is not SO. A bell
must be tuned the same as piano
or any other musical instrument. Ev-
cry bell has five sounds, which must
blend together in perfect harmony,
and this is accomplished by shaw
ing down certain parts until the de-
sired harmony is secured. In the
event OF shaving too deep the bell is
not injured, but the tuning operation

posal was gladly accepted.
Each span Of the bridge was com
posed of nine chords of three timbers
each. The q sills were to be cut
simultaneously, so that the span would
drop between the piers into the river.
The cutting was to be accomplished
by burning through the wood with
loops of iron resistance made red-hot
by the passage of the electric current.
Fifty-four resistance loops were
heated to wreck each span, and the
spans were wrecked one at time.
Sufficient current was used to heat the
iron wires cherry red. The result was

exactly the same with every span. Be
tween the turning on OF the current
and the fall of the span an hour and
40 minutes elapsed. Then the mass
of timbers fell into the water well in
side the piers, SO that they were unin-
jured
The cut made by the hot wire was
sharp and clean, and the wood was
not charred more than an inch from
the place Of fracture.
Tho current was first turned on at
about five o'clock in the morning, and
at two in the afternoon the last span
