Despite the fact that the Liberty Bell is one

October 1751, by the superintendent Of the state

Thomas Lester Of White Chapel London, cast
the bell and by August, 1852, 1t arrived in Phila-
delphia and was erected on trusses in the state
house yard. While being tolled and tested early
in September Of the same year it was cracked by
the clapper. though by no unusually powerful
stroke. Concerning this accident. Isaac Morris
wrote, March TO- 1858:
Though the news Of our new bell cracking is
not very agreeable to u.s. we concluded to send 1t
back by Captain Budden. who had brought it from
London last August but he could not take 1t on
board, upon which two ingenious workmen under
took to cast it here, and am just now informed
they have this day opened the mould and have
got good bell, which. confess, pleases me very
much, that should first venture upon and sue
coed in the greatest bell cast, for aught know.
in English America. The mould was finished in
very mastery manner, and the letters, am
told. are better than toni the old one When we
broke up the metal our judges here generally
agreed 1t was too high and brittle, and cast sew
eral little bells out of 1t to try the sound and
strength and fixed upon a mixture of ounce
and half OF copper to the pound Of the old bell
and in this proportion we now have it.
Herman Pass from the Island Of Malta, and
Jacob Stow Of Charles Stow. the doorkeep-
er Of the assembly, were the two ingenious work
men referred to in the above letter. After the
second casting of the bell it was again hung and
tested in the spring of 1888. More defects were
soon found. however. The American casters,
Pass and Stow, who were not bell founders by
trade at all. had put too much copper In the metal
SO that its sound was impaired Disappointed
with that failure and also nettled at the gibes OF
their townsmen concerning it. they asked permits
sion to cast the bell second time. Thomas Les
ter the original maker of 1t, also offered his
services, but the authorities decided to allow
Pass and Stow to proceed again. and thus the
third and present casting was made. and again
the bell was raised; this time in the state house
steeple itself. That operation was completed by
the end Of August of 1853. when the American
casters were paid ESQ 1885, sd. for their labors.
Then began its chimes August ~. 1853. when
it called the assembly together. ringing out the

The bell echoed the hopes Of the peoples hearts
and its melodious Bon Voyage" sounded over the
Delaware he sailed away.
When the planning and splitting mills were
closed and the manufacture Of iron and steel prod
ucts was prohibited by acts OF parliament In
Pennsylvania and the kings arrow was amxed
upon pine trees and the trade of the colonies IN
all parts OF the world restrained, the bell was
again tolled to assemble the people in the state
house yard to protest against such outrages.
Thus did the bell long before the Revolution,
become the beloved symbol of truth and freedom
reinforcing with pugnacious and violent peais the
cry of determined citizens, in the largest poiticai
meeting held up to that time in the state house
yard that none Of the ship "Polys detestable
tea" that had just been brought into the port
should be funneled down their threats with par
lament duty mixed with it"
When the port of Boston was closed in May
1774, and the heart of the country was growing
heavier with its afiction, the bell was once more
carefully muffled and tolled in solemn and pro-
phetic manner, both to announce the closing OF
the port and, little later, to call a meeting to
relieve suffering in Boston on account OF the
restriction of its trade.
AS the conflict with England approached the
bell was rung more and more; its use became
matter of course and then, on April 20. ITO
just after the reports to Philadelphia OF the
Battle of Lexington, it rang wildly to assemble
5000 people in the state house yard and to In
spire their souls to resolution pledging their
all to the cause of liberty.
It rang also to assemble the Continental con-
gress to its daily sessions. both at Carpenters
hall and Independence hall, and finally. Its crown

again one of its first uses was to ring upon the
announcement Of the surrender Of Lord Cornwall

- OF the question as to whether the relic
should be permitted to travel any more appears to
be about DUE and just now, when the anniversary
Of the nations Independence is upon US Is rea-
sonable time for discussion of the matter
Wilfred Jordan, curator of the Independence
Hall Museum, measured the second crack before
the bells last Journey and then measured 1t again
after its return. He found that it had increased
In length to slight degree.
No one knows Just when, this second crack
occurred. and opinions differ; but compared to
the old crack it is Of recent origin and is die
tinctly visible. Mr.. Jordan, however was the first
to call attention to long and almost invisible
extension of the second crack and finds that 1t
now reaches one-third way around the bell, from
the end of the old original fracture. which was
chiseled out In 1916 in an attempt to make the
bell sound properly.
Putting an end to the bells pilgrimages would
in no sense at all be due to dsincnation OF
the people or councils of Philadelphia to allow the
west to view and possess the sacred relic even
for short time. Indeed Philadelphia would be
only too glad to send 1t, for since the bell has
already helped by its travels to lessen the Sec
tonal feelings between the north and south. so It
would help unite the citizens Of our republic who
live on the Atlantic seaboard with those whoSlive
on the Pacific.
Little do either sections realize how intimately
the bell is connected with the contamination OF
. our nation, early political ideals and with the
fondest Of its impulses in Colonial days This old
bronze relic not only helped to proclaim Inde-
pendence, but for years before ITS rang loud to
celebrate the hopes of the people and rang low
to intone their woes!
Upon its sides Is this inscription:
"And proclaim liberty throughout all the land
unto all the inhabitants thereof.-Lev rs, 10. A
strange Providence indeed wrote that inscription
N its crown many years before its throbbing
Changers and melodous eloquence had aught at
all to- do with liberty!
Announcing proclamaticns Of war and treaties
of peace welcoming the arrival and bidding God
speed to departing notables; proclaiming some
accession or the English royal family to the
throne and the secession therefrom of the Ameri-
can colonies! It's more customary use. however,
was TO call the members of the assembly Of Penn
sylvania together at the morning and afternoon
sessions and to announce the opening OF the
courts.

AN ELUSIVE LAKE.
Queer Antics Of an Erratic Body Of
Water IN Switzerland.

Water IN Switzerland.
In the canton Of EN!ais. in SwitZcr-
land. ut the foot Of the great .Alrlsch
glacier. lies Il small body Of water.
Lake MaricIrn. Of which the Journal
DIES Voyages reports Il strange fact.
At irregular intervals every three Or
four years Lake A%larieIrn completely
and suddenly disappears. The phe-
HonlenOn always occurs during the last
days of August. Without warning the
lake cmpties itself. and the great guam
tity Of water chat it contained uisap.
pears through assures in the rocks to
swell the waters Of the river lihOne.
So rapidly does the lake empty itself
that the water level of the tllonc rises
several meters in Il few hours, and the
valley is flooded. An old custom
grants a new rair-O Of shoes to the first
peasant who. ome to announcc the
disappearance OF the lake to the in
habitants Of the valley.
All the autumn. after the disappear
ance of the waters. the basin of Lake
Marjelen remains dry. but during the
following winter and spring it grad
ually fills again.
Scientific men believe that the pte-
nomenOn is caused in some way by
the neighboring glacier. Little by lit
tie the melting ice raises the level OF
the lake until at the end of three or
fam voorc ti,n accumulated Wutar pY-
erts such an enormous pressure upon
the sides and bottom of the lake that
the basin gradually becomes rs porous
as q sponge. At some point or other
the water begins to escape. Then it
flows more rapidly until at last It
pours through the assures on every
side.
