London. August 16
THE harsh honk OF the automobile has
not driven the melodious bell out OF
modern life, IL one is to accept the
experience OF the famous Spitalfields
foundry OF Messrs- John Warner and
Sons. 1t has work on hand to the value
OF about 100000. from submarine signal
stations to cathedral towers.
BELL making was never more alive than
1t Is to-day" said a member of the firm
lately. 1T Is only within recent years
that bell founding has become an exact
science New applications OF our art are
continually being found. We are making
numbers of bells for submarine signalling
stations and / don't think the old found
ers could have made such bells, for their
notes have to be in exact accord with a
microphons receiver, a result which can
be attained only with such apparatus as
We have here. In the old days the In

The Spftafields foundry cast the famous

the great bell OF Moscow and the bell OF

was established in 1853, is now filled with

THE prices OF all woollen goods have

IN the European markets it will take $3.50

This east front is really the back Of the
