Bell Must Be Tuned.

The general impression is that the
tone of 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 shay
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
is prolonged, as other parts must be
operated on and cut away to CORE.
