The ftr*t bell* were mart" In Om
panla. hence the term camp?nl'e or bell
tower
The adaption or t#e bell into im
services of the church si>on ^.'\c the
chimps the comforter's o#ce In the
mlu'.s of the devout In th-ir <-'mpo
faith the worshipers believed that < on
secratod Ix l' < h-d the power to pre
vent storirs. to drive away evil
nnd to bring repose to the sufferer.
T'.ie dlfv-t forerunner of the New
Year belt is wh.it was know i i * t'ie
"passing bell " This nn? rung (it the
death of h l??liever In theory de\ II*
tr mhled the *xnlring patient.
Rut the peals oNa consecrated bell
were believed to po*?css a potency
that the at ?t nwHimant of devil*
could not withstand: hence with ev
ery death the ringing of the hob lells
exorcised tl'e evil spirits and
the soul a happy pacing t?tn a future
untroubled pn'1?.
From th's ancient custom drvelopcd
easily and naturally the In'-it of ring
Inc om the old year and ringing It
the new
Centuries have passe*!, a thousand
years, and still iW more have l?ee:
nutnl>ered s|n-e the first New V? -
waa bailed by the music of tnnetl
brass, but man still finds the custom
tieanttfnl and comfort lac. and 1U12
will tie sainted by more pea'"* than any
of Its ptvdeeessora.
The l*eli most favored is made of tin
and copper In the reign or H nry 11.
ex ports decried that a bell should have
two parts of copper and one of tin.
When Mr. 1-ayard made Irs fnmo-is In
v estimation of the runs of Nlne\ oh ho
found beautifully toned hi lis
I he proporti >n was ten par's of copper
again*" one of tin. I.iter est ? rts have
deHdol that four to one Is about the
right pro|w?rtion. Kxperi meats have
also been made with l?ella of brass,
German si.ver, real silver and cold.
Some made of stoei were shown to
have a l?crntiful tone, but deficient
from the fact that It could not be *us
taired. CJTrss bells of pvfit thi? kness
give out rn exquisite melody, but the
material is too brittle to withstand tho
constant Impact of the clarper.
So n Kt of the bePs that greet 15'12
will be mad? according to the formula
of four parts copjier to one part tin.
The mo-; famous of the bells that
hsvc greeted New Year are now si
lenced for i ll time. One is a J lised
relic of the world's creates! autocracy;
?he other is a worshiped n'eweoto of
the s:m rle for Hbetiy that launched
iat i e'Ntetve the world's mightiest re
J imlilfe"
The crvRt N?l1 of Moscow, now lo
cated in the Kremlin, irtts eSrt jn
1734. It w>? the design of its makers
that it should fill the air with a vol
ume of me'ody that should make It
would famous In l<oth height and di
ameter this colossus of bells is twenty
one feet. It weichs 1J1S tons.
But how va n is tl?e planning of
mankind is proved by the tragic ca
reer of this monster of sound. Only
for three years did it toil forth the l?c
pinnitig of the new year. Cast In
1734. It remain*** In Its place till 1737.
Then it fell during a fire and from Its
great weight sank deeply into the earth.
For exactly one i-entnry it was per
mitted to remain bnried.
Then It was raised, but the exca
vators fonnd in ita side a gaptnp hole,
where a great piece had Iteen broken
out. No more should the boil tin*.
Rut tbey raised ft. placed it on a solid
foundation, and it now forms the
dome of a small chapel made b;. ex
fr.vstlng the sjwee ben-eth It. Vow.
though it may no 1 >npcr ring in the
new year, it can be the sanctuary for
!the New Year tmyers of the faithful.
Every New Year eve . itireas of
Philadelphia gather aronrd th- shrine
; of liberty, ln:teix"tdr-nce hull, to boar
the new ye::r Hag in. Formerly this
wrwe was performed by the beii now
known as the Liberty bell
Be.Vre that memorable day in 177R
wheo the nation'* father? gave forth
to the world their Declaration of In
dependence, whose sign in r was her
; aided by the ringing of Liberty bell.'
the old bell had beta useU 13 nag tr
i the new year.
