Thereof.” INSCRIPTION THAT IT BEARS “Proclaim lberty throughout the land, wunto all the Inhabitants thereof,” is the Biblical quotation | which forms the principal Inseription |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 Nor- | ris, speaker of the colonial assembly | of Philadelphia. When the bell was rung at the signing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, July 4, 1776, its inscrip- tion proved to have » far greater | meaning than anyone had supposed | it would have. The from Leviticus xxv, 10, The bell weighs 2,00 pounds, and fs now supported inside by means of a steel “spider,” to prevent further orack- ing. A long crack, extending from the |end of the old big crack, and rusning | partly around the bell near the top, has | appeared on the surface within the last | few years. Electric lights have been arranged to illuminate the bell at night on its pres- ent trip, for at all hours people are found awake and waiting to cheer it as it passes through their town, the Philadel phia committee says | At Hamburg, Mo, and other towns |along the line, coming to Omaha, crowds demanded speechee at 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning. When the bell's car is in motion, the bell itself swings slightly. Chairman Hutt of the committee explained that it quotation s was so ficed to give it vibration and {thereby prevent further cracking. He |says the cracks have not become larger since the bell left Philadelphia on this trip. | ‘There is hardly a fraction of & square inch on the bell's surfaces that is smooth and clear.
