Cid Crack Extends.

The bell was taken for exhibition purposes to New Orleans in 1885, to Chicago in 1893, to Atlanta in 1895. to Charleston ill 1902, to Boston in 1903, to St Louis fin 1904, and it appeared in the Founders day procession in Phila- lelphia in 1908
 A new extension of the crack to the crown Is said to have developed when the bell was removed from it's stand in Independence hall, Philadelphia, for the clapper to be taken out and prep arationS made to insure the bells safe ty on the trip Last year the old crack widened and reached the crown. The new crack Is declared to have extend ed this at least six inches.
 A steel spider" has been clamped to the interior 10 prevent any further widening of the old crack by iolts and jarring on the railroad. This is of ex- celIent workmanship and we'll insert ed. It would even hold the bell to- Eether should disastrous break oc- eur. But it cannot in any way relieve the internal strain in the metal which IS the cause of the cracking.
 The bell has been mounted on spe- cial new supports carrying the orig inal swinging block. and the spider" framework inside Is not visible The old relic will be shown in its glass car on itS long journey. and the clapper that helped to peal out the first glad tidings of American independence will also be exhibited beside it in q mahog any case.

ELECTRICITY LOCATES
 BULLETS IN WOUNDS.
American Hospitals Adopt Extractioss
 Device Used In War.

American hospital surgeons are ap- plying Il new and practical use of cleo tricity learned from the field hospitals In France. In the war zone many thousands of cases of bullet and shell wounds are treated daily. The old and tortuous manner of searching for the bullet has been discarded in favor of the electrical locator, which quickly and definitely discovers the metal with out adding pain to the wounded. Al ready numerous American hospitals have installed the device, develop ment of the Hughes induction balance
 The instrument consists of two sets of wire coils, one of which rests on the operating table and the other in the surgeons hand. A telephone receiver is placed over the surgeons head like a telephone girls helmet and connected to the movable coil The coils are so wound that they balance and are inac- tive when not in service
 When the wounded soldier is brought ill the surgeon moves the hand set of coils over the body. The instant the coil passes over the metal the electric balance is disturbed and the telephone receiver emits long series of click ings. The intensity of the noise in the surgeons ear indicates the size anG nearness of the bullet The sound grows louder or more feeble as the coll is moved nearer or farther away. It will be loudest when directly over the metal

Fear For Its Safety.

There are many who fear the treas ured bell will not return whole. There was strong opposition against It's be ing subjected to the risks of the jolts of the long journey. Permission would not have been given but for the many petitions that sought 1t. Among those who urged the council to consent were President Wilson and almost every body else whose name Is In "Who's Who In America"
 Metallurgists say the bell has bad, chronic case of disease of metals" There was much discussion among them as to whether its health would not be lost completely by reason of the the experts feared that it might be ruined utterly.
 Imperfect mixture of metals in the original bell and the failure to get q homogeneous admixture in the recast- ing are blamed for the cracks that are constantly spreading over it's surface.
 To minimize to the fullest extent the perlls Of the trip special car, yer itable Pullman gondola, has been built to carry the bell westward The car will offer the slightest possible vibra- ton to the venerable metal structure. Passenger car springs have been pro- vided, and strains and stresses will be reduced to the minimum
 The cracks in the bell are chiefly due, it Is thought to the frequent trips the bell has made about the country to various eXpositions These journeys have not only extended the original crack, made at the time it was last rung, in 1885. but new hurts have been suffered. and there are series of cracks that extend to many parts of its surface.

 Mayor Blankenburg of Philadelphia, head of the commission which has charge of the bell, was invited to ac- company the party, but declined on the ground that he could not spare the time He hopes, however, to make the trip direct and meet the bell on its ar rival at San Francisco.
 Patriotic organizations and citizens committees all along the way will wei come the old bell.

ENDED IN CHILDISH TRAGEDY,
Fate of Two Pickaninnies Who Went
 on a Cruise.

Afioat on the bounding wave-in a washtub-two pickaninnies went cruis- ing Thursday, says the Houston Chronicle. They sailed until they were rescued, and with that event came a rainwater bath. White men pulled them to the shore to leave them gur- gling in the arms of two black man. mics.
 There were no signals of distress fy- Ing as the two babies in a tub f1oated swiftly down White Oak bayou. The current was running like a mill race, but the tub was properly balanced for the ride.
 As 1t emerged from the jungle into the ship channel the apparition in- spired immediate action. Straightway into the brimming tide plunged man after man. They swan strongly for the tub and-tipped it over. Into the turgid stream fell pair to draw to.
 With difficulty they were fished from the water, screaming Justify for their ship" continuing like a derelict on down the stream.
 Meanwhile two buxom colored wom- en, mothers of the black babies, had appeared. Gathering the drenched and crying pickaninnies in their arms they marched away to their cabins.
 The cruise started in play about the water edge and ended fin a woodshed, when, with wet clothes stretched tight, every spat stung fiercely and walls sounded over the inundated bayou flats

 reason. So with honorable escort and flags afioat I'm to answer their western call; A man of my age on a pilgrimage From Independence Hall! Cf course they will give mo an honor1

 And the people will throng around me, But mine are the ways of the ancient

 Where the things of the past sur
 round me. in the midst of their modern pomp and
 display
 1 may not look fine at all, But 1 know I'm great in mine own estate At Independence Hall Suppose the folk of that great far land Age hasn't had time to mellow, Look with surprise in their western eyes And call me "queer old fellow?" I'll wish myself back in my good old
 home
 Where the ghosts and the memories call: Where l hold my state with the good and
