OLD LIBERTY BELL.
It Is Not Only Cracked, but Is Suffer-
ng From Metal Sickness.

u Is NoE Only OFdCkSof put % 0AiSi-'
ing From Metal Sickness.
"The Liberty bell is suffering from
the disease of metals" says the Iron
Age. This is due to several causes.
The famous bell was badly cast in the
first instance and was recast thrice by
amateurs, who changed the compost
ton of the metal with each recasting.
The first crack appeared when the bell
was tolling on the occasion Of the
funeral of Chief Justice John Marshall.
In 1909 it was discovered that the
crack had extended to double its orig
inal length.
The bell has been transported to a
distance on six occasions and has been
clipped by many vandal souvenir hunt
ers. Its trips did it no good, as more
or less rough handling was scarcely
avoidable.
When the new crack appeared Alex
ander E. Outerbridge, Jr, an expert
metallurgist, was called in to examine
it. When it was planned to ship it to
San Francisco for the Panama exhibit
tion Mr. Outerbridge was again sum-
moned, and on his report it was deter
mined to keep it hencefOrth in Inde- |
kendence hall. In his latest report Mr.. !
Outerbridge says:
''It is no hyperbolical figure of speech |
to say that the venerable Liberty bell is
affected with a serious disease. Metal /
lurgists have adopted into technical
phraseOlogy the term diseases Of met
ais and recognize several such mala-
dies. l myself have no hesitation in
saying that the bell has a distemper.
which should insure its most careful
from all shocks such as it
would be subject to in long journey"
The Iron Age says that with each Of
the remeltings to which the bell was
subjected it lost largely in tensile
strength, residence, etc Mr. Outer
bridges experiments show that pure
copper loses 80 per cent Of its tensile
by three remeltings. The Lib
erty bell was recaSt three times, and
perhaps even at that time it had al
ready been attacked by the disease

Hiahsst Speed Ever Attained.

The highest speed ever attained by
man on the face of the earth is one
mile in 25.2 seconds, equivalent to
1925 miles an hour, according to the
Railway Age Gazette. 1t was in an au-
tomObile run by Teddy Tetzlaff on the
level salt beds at Salduro, Utah, 112
miles west of Salt Lake City. The best
speed ever made on rails was with an

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face' to
try a remedy for freckles with the guar
antee of reliable dealer that it will not
cost you penny unless it removes the
freckles; while if it does give you a clear
complexion the expense is trihing.
Simply get an ounce of othine-double
strength-from any druggist and few
applications should show you how easy
it is to rid yourself Of the homely freckles
and get beautiful complexion. Rarely
is more than one ounce needed Tor the
worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the pre-
scription sold under guarantee OF money
back if it fails to remove freckles.
