RELICS OF KREML|N

ing Place of Cars.
Ivan or Bell. Contains SO Bells

Moscow.-The Kremlin, like the For
hidden City in Pekin, is inclosed by
wall entirely independent of that en-
circling the city. says William Wisner
in the National Geographic Magazine.
1t marks the part which escaped the
great confiagration when the outlying
districts of Moscow were burned by
the Russians, who were besieged by
Napoleon. The present wall replaced
one of oak-some 500 years ago
which, like the Great Wall of China,
was erected as n defense from the
Tartars.
Within this inclosure is the imperial
palace, the treasury, the arsenal and
three cathedrals, which for centuries
have respectively been the places OF
the crowning, the marrying and the
burying of the cZars of this great ma.
ton. The inclosure also contains
convent and many great monuments.
On one side. far below, flows the River
Moskva, from which the city takes
It's name. From the rivers opposite
bank the view of the splendor of this
collection of buildings is unsurpassed.
Probably nowhere in the world does
an inclosure of the dimensions of that
described by the wall of the Kremlin
contain precious stones approximating
the value of those displayed here. 1t
has been aptly stated that they should
not be counted by thousands. but
measured by the peck. To guard them
500 soldiers are constantly in and
around these buildings.
The Ivan or Bell tower is the most
conspicuous structure in the inclosure
and contains SO bells, two of which
are of silver, the largest of the col
lection weighing 65 tons.
This large bell seems to lose its
magnitude when we come to examine
the one resting on stone foundation

Just outside the tower, which weighs
200 tons. 1t was originally intended
to hang within the walls, but soon aft
ter 1t was cast a fire destroyed the
building which sheltered 1t, causing
nine gaping cracks and the displace-
ment of a piece of the bell weighing
nine tons. Owing to this misfortune.
its tongue has ever remained mute.
Not far from the bell tower stands
the arsenal, in front of which is dis
play of $50 bronze cannon, trophies
captured from the Turks and French.
Prominent among these is the great
gum" its mouth having a diameter of
three feet, surrounded by SO thin a
shell that regard for safety probably
accounts for the fact that 1t, like the
great bell, has never spoken.
These two curios. coupled with Mos
cows prevalent paving material, are
spoken of as the three ancient won
ders of the city. "The heaviest bell
which never was rung. and the largest
cannon which never was fired. and
the greatest amount of cobblestone
pavement" (Which ought to be fred

Murray Turner of Hammond was called
upon and he moved that the club en-
dorse the suggestions made by the

had the people of the district prepared
the recommendation themselves. they
could not have thought of anything to

A. G. Lundquist suggested that the

the following were selected: E. w

that Mr.. Mickey would be out OF town.
so George w. Lewis was named in his
stead to represent the East Chicago
club. It was also decided to ask Gov
Marshall and the mayors of the various
cities to attend the meeting of the
