Actually it is only bottoms and tops of biscuit cans tied to the limbs of a dogwood tree grow ing in the front yard of Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Kinard on 530 Wright Street. The tops and bottoms are swinging close to gether and when the wind blows the tins create a musical sound like chimes. There are over two hundred tops swinging, on the tree. A reflector light has been erected to show many va rious colors on the tins. The tins shine in daylight as well as at night.
