a sun-dial that strikes the hours has
been invented by Able Alle@ret. It is
simply a modification OF the solar cOun-
ter for registering the times when the sun
shines or is obsctred. There are two
balls, one black and the other yellow,
fixed at opposite ends OF a lever sustained
by a central pivot. When the sun shines
the black ball absorbs more heat than
the yellow one, and the vapor of a liquid
contained in the former is elevated to a
higher temperature than in the latter.
As a result the vapor leaves the one ball,
and becoming condensed in the other,
this being the heavier, overbalancing
the equilibrium. A pair of these balls
is fixed at every hour mark, and so con-
nected with machinery that ii gong is
sounded as many times as the number of
the hours to be indicated. OF course
this works only when the sun shines.

COOLING OEE 1 " LETTING.

The street-preacher, feeling his mission
superior to that of other men, doesn't
always recolIect that the golden rule
should form part of his creed when he
selects a place for his wild ~oratory. But
there's a street-preacher Ill San Francisco
who will probably be more discreet in
future in this respect. He established
himself at Il corner of Third and Market
streets in that city, and soon the cracked
tones Of his appealing voice summoned
sinners to a hearing, The sinners came
i'll crowds, not SO much for profit us
amusement, and they blocked up the
sidewalk, and impeded business. The
annoyed proprietor of the store in front
of which the lowly evangelist was hold
ing forth, entreated him to move on,
but the lowly evangelist wouldn't move.
What We're the affairs of this world to
those of eternity? He cared not for
scOffings and deridings; he would OBJ
struct the thoroughfare if he chose, and
laugh at the threatened martyrdOm.
Then the %martyrdom came. The mer-
chant, tired Of appeal, b%ethought him of
another remedy. He got cut his hose,
affixed tito the plug, and turned q brassy,
threatening nozzle upon the crowd.
Still the preacher preached. Then the
torrent was let on, and the audience Of
that preacher scattered before the first
vengeful squirt. In vain the shepherd
sought by renewed shouting to gather
his sheep. The hose was levelled at him
and a cataract roared upon his abdomen.
Then he too took to the heels of the
flesh and left spiritual matters to take
care of themselves. 1t was & fervept oc-
casiOn, but the course of the indignant
merchant seemed to have thrown what the
old darkey termed "a GOODNESS over de
p~erceedin's." Public opinion was with
the merchant. \ street-preacher may be
III earnest, but he has 40 more right than
Il banana peddler to obstruct a thorough
fare.

THE NEXT ID.

The next world. There is something
very terrible to some minds i'll the idea
Of leaving all they have enjoyed and most
valued, and going away to the cold and
silent grave. They cannot hear it. They
turn away from the grim spectre, they
flee from the unwholesOme thoughts that
would intrude themselves upon them.
They cannot bear to be alone-would
have any one, no matter whom, with
them, rather than remain i'll solitude.
They strive to drive away the thought
which presses on them, reminding them
that the days are passlng-passlng that
the hour is approaching when the soul
and body must part, when time will be
the shadow and eternity the substance.
1t is with the life of such as it is with Il
