THE CLOCK.

Among the many wonderful pieces Of
mechanism to be seen at the Paris Exhibi-
tion, the pneumatic clocks exhibited in the
Austrian section are not the least interest
ing. These clocks give exact time to all
the clocks Of q city simultaneously, whether
the distance of the latter from them be six
miles or sixty. The system has now been in
operation for about two years in Vienna,
where t ; time is sent in this way from
the Imperial Observatory, through tubes
laid along the gas mains in different parts
of the city, to all the public clocks, the
hands Of which all move by this arrange
ment at the same time. The city of Paris
has recently authorized the "Societe des
Horloges" to make a public trial of this
pneumatic app ratus, with q view to the
possible adoption, of the system.
The principle upon which these clocks
work is this IF q column of air, inclosed
in q tube ut a given tension, be subjected
to pressure it Immediately transmits that
pressure to all its parts, even the most re-
mote" But the compressed air, after hav-
ing exerted its force, must be expelled from
the lube and replaced by a fresh column {;
because il the tube were not alternately
opened and closed, this column would act
precisely like IN elastic spring conse-
quently the mechanical effect on the pis-
tons would be Insignificant, and the hands of
the clock would remain at n standstill, pow
erless to move. The pneumatic clocks are
ut once simple and perfect; they are not
likely to get out of order, and the escape
Of air, even, from the distributing pipes
cannot alter their movement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TWO FINEST
]. STEAMERS IN THE WORLD.

Within the last few years, great improve
ments have been made in the construction
Of steamboats, nj railway cars, adding
largely to the comfort and convenience Of
travel. In the first rank of these improve
ments stands the Fall River Line, whose
magnificent palace steamships Bristol Z"
and Providence" plying between New
York and Boston, Uid Newport and Fall
River, are the largest and the finest in the
world.
The " Bristol :" and Providence " orig.
inally cost l ,250, 900 each-a handsome
fortune in itself and to keep them up to
their proper standard costs in the neighbor-
hood Of $3.50, 900 yearly.
The reader can get but a faint idea of
the magnificent proportions. The Bristol
is 1913 feet in length, SO feet beam over all,
and 10 feet depth of hold, the hull proper
measuring 5000 tons.
The engine is Of the vertical beam type,
with n 110-inch cylinder and IL feet
stroke Of piston, developing a power equal
to $500 horses. Steam is furnished to this
giant engine by three low-pressure boilers,
each of which is 35 feet long, and 140
inches diameter of shell.
The same grandeur of proportions as
marks the sister boat IRE to be found on
The Providence" and there are many
who travel on this line WHO scarce can tell
one from the other yet there is a percep-
tible difference when you come to examine
closely the interior decorations. In uphol-
STEERING, different colors nave been introduc-
ed and blended with a richness of effect not
to be found on any class Of vessels in the
world. There is no steam line engaged in
inland traffic which can SO justly boast of
having as large and fine o feet Of vessel
as the Old Colony Steamship Company.

MORE BEER AND LESS WHISKY.

According to the internal revenue returns,
the citizens of the Republic are drinking
less whisky and more beer. Whisky-that
part of it which paid revenue tax, at least
fell off from 81, 900 gallons for the
fiscal year of 1877 to so, 704, 900 in 1854
difference of nearly $500, 600 gallons. For
the same time, the revenue-paying beer in
creased from 9,4S0, 600 barrels to 1887, 900
barrels-an increase of 457, 600 barrels, or
1871 900 gallons. During the last 10 or 12
years, if not longer, there has been a per-
ceptible d%iminution here, considering the
over-growing census, in the consumption of
whisky and other liquors, and a CORE
spending increment of beer, as is shown by a
decrease in drunkenness and its attendant
ills.-Neto York Times.
