OLD LIBERTY BELL.
Il 10 Not Only Cracked, but 10 Suffer.
ino From Metal Sickness.

It 10 Not Only Cracked, but 10 Suffer.
ing From Metal Sickness.
'sThe Liberty bell IL 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
tion 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 q
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
1t. When 1t was planned to ship 1t 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 1nde.
pendence hall. In his latest report Mr..
Outerbridge says:
''1t is no hyperbolical figure Of speech
to say that the venerable Liberty bell is
affected with serious disease. Metal
lurgists have adopted into technical
phraseology the term diseases of met
ais and recognize several such mala.
dies. myself have no hesitation in
saying that the bell has a distemper,
which should insure its most careful
preservation from all shocks such as II
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 so per cent Of it's tensile
strength by three remeltings. The Lib.
erty bell was recast three times, and
J perhaps even at that time it had al
ready been attacked by the disease
that has been eating into its copper and
tin vitals ever since.
