THE LIBERTY BELL CRACK
Result of Diseased Metal Which
Has Caused Loss of Vitality. IL
Illustrations of Malady.

Mex York Evening Post: Many
things have been written and said
about the Liberty Bell, but little is
known about present conditions and
the famous crack. While it is being
used symbolically in liberty loan
campaigns, fw are aware that the
bell itsel is diseased or sick, or rath-
er that the metal is. Metals have dis

come tired or fatigued, like individ-
uals and are weakened in conse-
quence. There is no better illustra-
ton of the disease OF metals than
the old Liberty Bell. in Independ-
ence Hall. Philadelphia.
The bell was first cast in London
by Thomas A. Lester. 1t arrived IN
Philadelphia i'll l752, and was tested
in August of that year. 1t was
cracked at once by the clapper's
stroke. Instead OF being returned,
it was remelted and cast again, but
10 per cent more copper was added
to it. This seemed to spoil its sound.
1t was remelted a third time and
cast. with tin added to restore the
sound. The actual composition OF
metal is not known. but it is GER

pounds needed at least two dozen OF
the largest crucibles or melting pots
then known were required. 1t IS ev-
