Daniel Mosart, the well.known watch
inventor, has just been taken to the in
sane asylum at Kalamazoo. Mich. He
has been for four years at work on watch
which, without being larger than usual,
was to show quarter seconds, hours. days
Of the week, days of the month and
months Of the year, and every fifth time
it was opened, it was to wind itself: He
has completed it, and had received a
large offer for the right to manufacture
it. \ short time ago he took the model
apart to fix, and being unable to put it
together again, some part having been
lost, the intense mental application upon
the difficulty has deranged his mind. ,

In the museum at Pompcil there arc
preserved the most pathetic witnesses of
the last days Of the ill -fated city. When
the w"rkmen we're digging in 1868, they
struck into small cavity, and poured
plaster of Paris down its crevices. As
soon as the plaster had hardened the
crust of lava was carefully removed, and
10! the form Of a human being IN his
death struggle perfectly preserved. Bu'
ried in the lava that hardened about him,
his body had cruinbled to dust and LEFT
this wonderful mould. Several bodies
have thus been reproduced-one Of them
with the features perfectly preserved, SC
that there is still expression in the face
Two female bodies lying near each othc,
arc called mother and daughter There
is nothing at Polnpeii more touching
the despair depicted in the attitude Of
this group.
