" hat a Billy Goat Did.

An English girl, near Manchester, tied
string TO her toe and let 1.-THE string not

man friend 10 pull in order that she might
EOt miss her music lessons. The rector of
the church, it is further stated, hearing of
the arrangement, refused the couple the sac
rament. And this reminds US of little
story. Oncc upon time young lady who
disred to get up with the lark in order to go
on clipping tour. adopted the English girls
plan and the lover to be on hand at day
break to give the signal. The string used
for the pedal communication was q stout
cord. and ono end was dropped out of the
third story window into the back yard, and
the other end, of course, was attached to the
damsefs great toe. And the legend runs
that healthy goat of the William persua-
sion arose earl y next morning to look for the
carly worm, as it were, and wandered into
the yard. Alter eating up all the old toma-
to caDs, barrel slaves, aud broken crockery
ware, he found the string and took that in
as dessert. AS soon as tho cord was drawn
taut. the goat stood on his hind legs and gave
the string an iupulsve jerk. The girl
awoke. The goat gave another sudden pull,
and the maiden jumped out of bed with a
smothered cry of pain. TLen she stopped
down to detach the cord Just as the ridicu-
lous beast gave anather violent jerk, and
she lost her cqiiibrium-and her toe, too, al
most, the cord cutting into the tender flesh
She spang to the window and called down in
hoarse whisper
Stop pulling, Charles-1'll be down in
minute"
Then she made made another effort to un>
lie the cord, bu, the dioboica guat gave his
head several angry hobs, and each time the
girl gave cry of pain. Again she softly
called out in the darkness:
Charles, if you don't stop jerking that
way, I'll not come down at ali !"
She was answered by another savage pull,
aud the cry of anguish that escaped from
her lips brought her mother into the room,
with look of alright and lighted lamp.
The young lady tainted, the eopement
was nipped in the bud. and the disappointed
maden's big toe was sore for two weeks

A Gas Clot L.

1t is said that there is clock in the
Guildhall Museum, London, of which
the motive power is hydrogen gas, gen
Grated by the action of diluted sulphur
ic on a ball of zinc. The clock itself
resembles a large eolered glass cylinder
without any cover, and about half full
of sulphuric acid. Floating on the top
of this acid is glass bell, and the gas
generated forces forward this eoneave
receiver until it nearly reaches the top
of the cylinder, when. by the action of
delicate lever, two valves become sim
ultaneously opened. One of these al
lows the gas to escape, thereby causing
the receiver to descend and the other
permits fresh ball of zinc TO fall into
the acid. The same operation is repeat
ed as long as the materials for making
the gas are supplied, and this is effect
ed without winding or manipulating Of
any kind. The dial plate is fixed to the
front of the cylinder, and communi-
Gates by wheels, etc., with small
glass perpendicular shaft, which rises
with the receiver and sets the wheels
in motion.
