LIBERTY BELL IS
A SCARRED RELIC
"Proclaim liberty Throughout the
Land Unto All the Inhabitant
Thereof."
htsciuption teat it bears
"Proclsim liberty throughout the
land, ' unto all the . Inhabitant
thereof," Is the Biblical quotation
which forms the principal Inscription
on the Liberty Bell. It was put on
the bell when It was cast In 1751,
and was supposed to have been se
lected as an Inscription by Isaac Mor
ris, speaker of the colonial assembly
of Philadelphia.
When the bell wss rung at the
! signing of the Declaration of Inde
pendence. July i, 1776. Its Inscrip
tion proved to havt a far greater
meaning than anyone had supposed
it would bars. The quotation Is
from Leviticus xxv, 10.
The bell weighs t.OM) pounds, and la
now supported Inside by means of a
steel "spider." to prevent further crack
ing. A long crack, extending from the
end of the old big crack, and running
partly around the bell near the top, has
appeared on the surface within tha last
few years.
Electric lights have been arranged to
Illuminate the bell at night on Ita pres
ent trip, for at all hour peopla are
found awake and waiting to cheer It aa It
passe through their town, the Philadel

demanded apeeche at S and 2 o'clock In
the morning.
When the bell car 1 in motion, th
bell Itself swing slightly. Chairman
Hutt of th committee explained that it
was so fixer! to give It vibration and
thereby prevent further crarkln.. Ke
ays the crsrks have not become lancer
since tha bell - left Philadelphia on this
trio.
There Is hardly a fraction of a square
Inch on the bell's surfaces that is smooth
and clear. It certainly Is a much scarred
relic It was last cast in ITU.
