The Metals In Bells

Bell making is of the few which has been in practice from the earliest times but to this day it has never reached state perfection. Very skilled workmen needed construct bells that they shall be meiodious, artistic and durable

 The bell today is usually composed of five parts tin sixteen parts copper. It has been much tin a bell often causes undesirable results, of which cracking is the most common But the satisfactory results have been obtained by ing very old copper and procuring good tin, which comes from Australia.
 In construction a large bell the first step is to make the mold. This is really the vital in the whole process for the slightest at this point would certainly lead to failure and the work would all have to be done again.

India and the Gold Standard

The London Statist notes that Lord CrcWe gently told the House of Lords that there that the Indian people at last beginning to cognze that in hOarding the precious metals they are depriVing themselves very valuable addition to their incomes, and putting it their power to construct many of those public works which are urgently needed in great de- pendency. If that be true-and We only too glad to believe that it is true-then it follows unques- uonablN that the demand for gold will increase. If Indians, instead of hoarding, in the past ploY considerable proportion of their savings for investment they will add immensely the pro- ductiVc power of the country and therefore, it's trade. In that they will not only need gold, but also they will grow ambitious to be a footing of equality in regard their currency with the greatest nations of the world Moreover, it is never to be lost sight of that China settles down she will nee da great currency system. Apparently she is not advanced enough yet to eDdow herself with a gold currency. If she is wise she will be- gin at all event, with q silver currency And if she does it is quite possible that the habit of hoardlng is weakening and the habit of investing aWakng, that India may be able to sell large pro- portion, of her silver hoards China In that she will be able to provide herself with the gold she may desire without trenching mcuh upon her savings"

If the critics members of that unsung band of heroes the sec ord eleven who get the knocks in daily practice but of the glory, the criticism would be less surprising.
