A Remarkable Invention,

A remarkable clock, or time globe.
has been invented, which, according to
the description given in the Je,Ue3sr,
exhibits the time, longitude, and lati-
tude of any place in the world, as we'll
rs the difference of the same between
two or more places. The device con-
sists OF globe, on which is complete
map of the world. A large dial encir-
Giles the globe at its equator, at which
the time Of the various meridians is
indicated. At the north pole is a
smaller dial which shows the mean
time at the place where the globe is
located. The remarkable feature of
this device, however, is the fact that, by
the mechanism inside of it, this
miniature globe actually revolves, as
does the earth, once in every twenty
four hours. The actual time a. any
part of the world can be easily and
quickly ascertained by reference TO the
large dial encircling the globe at the
equator. 1t has sliding vernier,
divided into $50 degrees, by means of
which the latitude of localities can be
ascertained, or the proper degrees of
inclination OF our own or any other
heavenly body illustrated By setting
the globes at the proper angle of
inclination, giving the poles the proper
direction north and south, and letting
light, properly applied, fall upon it, it
will give not only the amount of light
light and darkness such country has,
but the very time at which it has it.
The time, longitude, and latitude of any
place in the world, as also the difference
OF the same between two or more places,
are thus given.

wish my pen could do justice to the

gorgeous blending of all that is beauti-
full, all that is harmonious, all that is
picturesque, is found here. Wild, lux

streams, offer a never. ending and in
cess antly exchanging variety of scene.
The swlft-movlng cars, as they fly
through the heart OF this region of
beauty, seem like intruders upon the
realms of peace. Sometimes we wind
along the serpentine banks of the rip

long into the sombre depths of noble
forests, such as only South America
can boast; often we pass under arbors
and grottoes formed of fowery vines

Panama railroad Is stupendOus affair,
not in itself, but in its associations.
It is stated that each tie beneath the
rails marks the death of one of the
builders. The Isthmus of Panama,
despite is beauty, is one of the most
unhealthy countries in the world. For
eigners who rem ain there any length of
time are morally certain of catching
the Chagres fever,-a sort of cross be-
tween ordinary fever and ague and
typhoid fever. And having contracted
the disease, the chances of recovery
and death ars about even. For a long
time after locating IN this country, the
foreigner must devote all his energies
toward accllmation. 1t is not to be
wondered At, therefore, that the build
ers of the road, going to work immedi-
ately after landing from ship-board,
easily fell victims to the fever. The
number who died has been variously
estimated, but it seems to be impossi-
bic to arrive at the correct figures,
which run far up among the hundreds.

After MANY DAYS.

Pennsylvania, which has a great

markable case of a conscience awaken

The Allentown Bulletin tells the story
as follows:
twenty years ago man living in
this city lost q wallet containing $50,
and q lady living in Catasauqua had
the fortune to find the money, but
lacked the honesty to return it to The
owner, though she knew who he was.
Years passed on, the husband of the
covetous lady prospered and grew
rich, the man who lost the pocket book
with the money got poorer and poorer,

Suspension Bridge.

An examination of the cables of the
Niagara Suspension Bridge has been
made, and some of the weak points in
the structure have been revealed. The
cables at each end of the bridge before
they are anchored in the pit are divid-
ed into seven strands, each strand
numbering $40 wires, and terminating
IL a collar" which is fastened to the
snchor-bar On examining these
strands ii was found that nine of the
wires on the under side of the collar"
had corroded and parted. These it is
said, can easily be replaced by splicing.
One piece of the corroded wire about
three feet in length has been removed,
and it was found capsule of sustaining
$50 pounds, and drew down to half
its size before parting. None of the
wires on the bridge have as yet shown
any tendency to eloDgation, and when
a weight is removed from the bridge
they return to their normal condition
with the natural spring.

EMPLOYEES AT TEE CENTENNIAL.
A noticeable feature of The Clark Thread
Company has always been their thoughtful
and considelate attention to the welfare and
pleasure of their employees. The Centenni-
al Exhibition afforded an opportunity for
its practical illustration which should rot
pass unnoticed in this article. Desiring to
give all their operatives an opportunity to
witness the great Exhibition at Philadel-
phia OF what the nation had accomplished
daring the first hundred years of its exist
ence IN Industry and art, the company
planned and carried to complete SUCCESS a
monster excursion to Philadelphia which
embraced their fifteen hundred employees,
with invited guests members of the press,
and the mayor and Common Council Of the
City of Newark, Some idea of its extent
may be gained when it is known that forty
five railroad coaches were employed for
their accommodation, and the cost for
transportation, admission, entertainment
ETC., exceeded six thousand dollars. But
this large sum is small compared with the
unallOyed pleasure which was afforded the
grand army of industrious people who find
employmsDt at the Clark Thread Company
Works in Newark. The Common Council
passed and caused to be beautifully en-
crossed and presented to the Company, a
series of resolutions from which for lack of
space we copy only the following extract:
ResolUsd, That we witnessed with great satisfac-
ton the kindness and attention shown by the Off
GERS Of this Company to their fifteen hundred
working people and the evident good feeling that
exists between them; recognizing that when labor
and capital thus harmonic, prosperity must ensne.
hesotued, That the location of the CLARK THREAD
COMPANY in our city, with their immense
works, and their army of operatives, has proved a
vast benefit, and that Newark is and should be,
justly proud OF her manufactures on which her
growth and prosperity must ever iepeud, and that
this municipality should foster aud encourage by
every proper means their bishment and success
Resolutions of thanks TO the Company were also
passed by the employees.
