In every country of tho world where civilization has taught mankind the Importance of cel ebrating hi holidays brazen throated ,,ullM wl" ol,c' thl JctIon nt tho '"Idnlght moment which ninrka tho passing. of llll 1 Into 1012. i Every bell, every chime, every peal. como It from brass or steel or glnss, , sounding In mellllluous beauty In tho h unco of nluht. marks the observance not less ring in tho new, Is not nn Impulse to celebrate with mere noise another swing of Fa ther Tlme'.s scythe. The custom hns a significance, n benuty of mennlng Identified with some of the earliest ob servances of the church. From remotest nntlqulty bells .play ed a part In retiglous worship, in Egypt the feast of Osiris was announced by the ringing of bells. Aaron and other Jewish high priests wore bells attach ed to their vestments. In Athens tho priests of Cybele used bells In their rites; the Greeks employed them In camps and gnrrlsons. nnd tho limit solemn moment in the ritual of tho Catholic church is preceded by tho ringing of silver chimed bells. Puullnus, bishop of Noln, introduced tho bell into the Christian worship In tho year 400 A. D. The first bells wero mnde In Com pnnln, hence tbo term cnmpnnlloorbcll tower. The adoption of tho boll Into tho services of the church soon gave tho chimes tho comforter's olllcc In tho minds of the devout. In their slmplo faith tho worshipers believed that con secrated bells hud tho power to pre vent storms, to drive away ovll spirits and to bring repose to tho sufferer. Tho direct forerunner of tho Now Year bell is what was known as the "passing ImsII." This was r,ung at tho death of a believer." In theory devils troubled tho expiring patient. Hut the peals of a consecrated, bell were believed to possess a potency that tho most malignant of devils could not withstand; hence with ev ery death the ringing of tho holy belts exorcised the evil spirits and assured theuoul n happy passing Into a futuro untroubled penco. From this ancient custom dovelopcd cnslly and naturally tho habit of ring ing out tho old year nnd ringing lu tho now. Centuries hnvo passed, a thousand yenrs, nnd still COO moro havo been numbered since tho first Now Year was hailed by tho music of tuned brass, hut man still finds tho custom beautiful nnd comforting, and 1012 will ho saluted by moro penis than nny of Its predecessors. The ImjII most favored Is mnde of tin nnd copper. In tho reign of Henry 11. oxperts decreed that n boll should havo two parts of copper and one of tin. When Mr. Lnynrd made his fnmous In vestigation of the ruins of Nineveh ho found beautifully toned bells whero the proportion was ten parts of copper against ono of tin. Later experts havo decided that four to ono Is about tho right proportion, Experiments have also been made with bells of brass, German sliver, rcnl silver nnd gold. Some inndo of steel wero shown to hnvo n beautiful tone, but deficient from tho fact that It could not bo sus tained. Glass bells of great thickness glvo out an oxqulslto melody, but tho material Is too brittle to withstand tbo constant Impact of tho clapper. So most of tho bells that grcot 1012 will bo made nccnrdlng to tho formula of four parts copper to ono part tlu. Tho most fnmous of the bells that have greeted Now Year aro now si lenced for all time. One Is n prized relic of tho world'B greatest autocracy; tho other Is u worshiped memento of tho struggle for liberty that launched Into exlstenco tho world's mightiest re public. Tho great hell of Moscow, now lo en ted In the Kremlin, wns cast In 1734, It was tho design of its makers that it should llll tho nlr with n vol- ( nine of melody that should mako It world famous. In both height and di ameter this colossus of bells Is twenty one feet. It weighs 103 tons. It tit how vuln Is tho planning of mankind N proved by the tragic ca reer of this monster of sound. Only for three years did It toll forth tho be ginning of the new year. Cast In 17.11, it remained In Its plaeo till 1737. Then It fell during a lire and from Its great weight sank deeply Into tho earth. For exactly ono century It wns per mitted to remain hurled. Then It was raised, hut the exeat vators found In Its side u gaping hole, where a great piece had been broken out. No more should the bell ring. Rut they raised it. placed it on a solid foundation, and It now forms tho dome of u small chapel mado by ex cavating the space beneath It. Now, though It may no longer ring In the new year, It can be tho sanctuary for tho Now Year prayers of tho faithful. Every Now Year evo citizens of Philadelphia gather around tho shrlno I of liberty, Independence hall, to hear i tho new year rung In. Formerly this servieo was performed by tho bell now known ns the Liberty bell. Itafore that memorable day In 1770 when tho nation's fathers gnvo forth to the world their Declaration of In dependence, whoso signing was her alded by tho ringing of Liberty bell, the old bell had baui used to ring In the uew year. 4"f4 I?
