CHAPTER X.

Webber never once relaxed in his
watchfulness, and appeared daily less
and less desirous of leaving Austin and
Margaret alone.
Had he also been conquered by the
mighty passion, and, thus vanquished,
had he forgotten that he was mere
police detective, set by his superiors to
find out whether certain man had, or
had not committed certain murderp
But the day came when Austin deter
mined to see Margaret alone. AS usual,
he made an appointment to meet Web
Der at the Westminster, and at the
very time knocked at the door of the
house in which she lived.
Ellen Fotheringay ran to Margaret,
her face white, her lips trembling, and
she said, He has come alone, and he is
in the back drawing-room, waiting to
see you"
For moment, Margaret hesitated,
then she walked quickly to the room in
question, and was, for the first time,
alone with Austin Sivory.

THE Brockton, Massachusetts,, Enterprise
has the following wise words to say of ad-
vertising: The matter of advertising as a
business measure is often misunderstood
1t is an undeniable rule of trade that ad-
vertising pays. Of course the same judg-
ment and prudence must be exercised in
advertising as in any other part of ones
business. If this is not done, instead of
paying it may become a source of loss. 1t is
more necessary to advertise now than it
was fifty or hundred years, or even twen-
ty-five years, ago. People are more busy
now than they were then. They have less
time and leisure to look about for
what they want. They look to the newspa-
per to learn where their wants can be sup
piled. and they accept it as settled rule
that the man who advertises the commodi-
ties which he has to dispose of, instead of
waiting for the people to find it out them
selves, is the best man to deal with, and
most likely to give satisfaction.

DURING his recent visit to Canada to
'scool off," Gen. Sherman is quoted as say
ing to Goderich, Ont, reporter: 81 have
always wanted to see the Canadian peninsu-
la annexed-that is, that part of Canada
from Montreal to Georgian Bay westward to
the lakes. 1t would make splendid State.
It's the only part of Canada would like us
to get; they could keep the rest.". An allu-
sion having been made to the Generals mar
row escape from being shot as Fenian on
his first visit to Code rich, he said he had a
poor opinion of the Fenians, and they would
never amount to much. 81 don't think
they'll trouble Canada again. If they do,
just coax them into the woods few miles,
where they can't get out easily, and then go
for thenf; they're poor set,' and his eyes
twinkled as he made the suggestion.

THE Christian Leader says: ''No, we
cannot destroy the ofice-seeking mania.
But we can make the business odious."
Whereupon the Concord Monitor comments:
"Now will the Leader get down off its high
seat among the political pharisees, and tell
its readers why aspiration to serve the gov
ernment in any honorable capacity, a gov
ernment supposed to be of, for and by the
people, should be made ''odious." As the
Lowell Courier remarks, ''To make office
seeking odious is to make office holding dis
reputable, and that is to make our civil SER
vice as bad as it can be-" And while it has
the subject in hand, will the Leader go a
step further and tell us by what right, in
herent or assumed, admission to the civil
service can be made dependent upon mere
scholarship?

ECoTToN is now cultivated in nearly every
southern county in Virginia, and the crop
has crept up from almost nothing few
years ago to several thousand bales last sea-
son. The Virginians propose to go into its
culture still further, and make it staple
crop. They give as reason that tobacco
will not pay for its production, besides
greatly impoverishing the land.

The oldest tower clock in New York
is in st. Paul's steeple. 1t was made
in l.7S by John Thwait, of London.
The clock in ST. Johns Church was
put in the tower in 1872. The Trinity
clock was placed in its lofty station,
ECO feet from the pavement, 1876, by
James Rogers. In dry weather this
clock runs well; but in damp, chilly
weather 1t sometimes stops, owing to
the precipitation of moisture on the
wheels. Originally two men were re-
q uired to wind it, esck of the three
l,500 pound weights haviag to be lifted
over fifty feet. Some time ago the
winding gear was changed so that one
man can now wind it.
Describing the operation of winding
the clocS-keeper says: ''The crank is
about twenty inches long, and when /
turn it around / make a sweep of
thirty inches. It's good deal harder
than turning a grindstone, but the ma
chine has a ratchet, so that can stop
and rest when | want to. The crank
has to be turned $50 times to turn the
barrel twenty-one times. Around the
barrel is wound the vie rope that
holds the 1,500 pound weight. The
weight is simply box with pieces of
iron init That is very old fashioned
Now We have iron weights so nodded
that they can be added to or subtract
ed from, and the weight can be graded
TO nicely. A new wire rope was put
to the chimes weight the other day. The
rope is what is called tIller rope, and
is 2sO feet long and three quarters of
an inch thick. 1t takes me an hour
and half to wind up the clock"
st. Paul's clock has a single back
gear and two weights of loco pounds
each. IL takes tbIee-quarters of an
hour to wind it. st. Johns clock is
wound in less than an hour; while the
modern clock Of st. Georges in charge
of the same keeper, is wound in fifteen
minutes

A Gigantic sea-Worm.

The Duke of Sutherland has wisely
instituted at Dunrobin Castle, Golspie,
n. B., museum, to which his tenants
send anything rare or remarkable dis
covered on the property. During the
past week his secretary, Mr.. Wright,
has kindly informed me of most mar
velously interesting addition to the
aquaria of the museum, namely, very
rare specimen of gigantic sea-worm
caught among some sea wrack by some
of the Dukes deep sea-line men, of
Golspie. This remarkable worm, when
full l-sized, is said to attain the length of
from eighty to ninety feet; he is capa-
bic of shrinking himself up to a very
much smaller length. He is as fat as a
ribbon, and only five or six lines in
width, of a brown violet color and
smooth and shining like vanished
leather. Very little if anything is
known of the habits of this monster
worm, except that it turks, under
stones and the hollows OF rocks, where
he coils himself up into a hesp
of knots, which he is necessarily
loosening and tightening. He has,
however, the power of undoing his
knots and extending himself in a
straight line. In this way he swims,
or rather glides through the water +,
propelling himself by means OF fine
cilie. When he has found a new
demicile suited to his purpose he coils
himself up again into knots. His long,
dark-colored, ribbon-llke body is ter
mi mated by head which is of some
what snake-like appearance, only there
NO forked tongue nor teeth, poison
Gus or otherwise. The Dukes speci-
men is apparently small one, between
four and five feet long, but perhaps the
creature has not uucoiled himself his
whole length. His scientific name is
the "'Lineus Marinus." There is q
beautiful figure Of him in the proceed
ings Of the Ray Society, 1873. The
discovery of this gigantic sea-worm
makes US all feel more than ever how
littls we really know of the Inhabitants
of the mysterious depths of the vast
ocean.

Extending tbs Telephone.-An ingeni-
Gus police officer has conceived the idea
of extending the telephone to wider
and more important uses In connec-
tion with the suppression of crime In
the city. The advantages of the alarm
telegraph and telephones connecting
the stations have been apparent, in the
way of sending information, and it is
now proposed as an experiment in the
more disturbed and dangerous districts
to extend the system sitter the pattern
of the hre alarm telegraph by putting
up boxes, with telephone communica-
tions, at suitable points, The KEYS of
which are to be instructed to orderly
and law-sbiding citizens, as well as to
police, so that in case of a fracas, a
robbery, accident, or anything calling
for the services Of the police, they can
be summoned with the least possibly
DELAY. In connection with the alarm
a reserve force Is to be maintained at
the stations with wagons and ambu.
lances, and ali the paraphernalia neces-
sary for riot or accident. Should il be
a murder, robbery, or any Otner crime,
the perpetrators of which have es-
capped, the alarm Is to be given to
every man in the district by sounding
large bell. which is 10 be placed upon
the roof of the station. Upon hearing
this, every officer on duty is to run 10
the nearest telephone box and cores
pond with the station, and it is also
proposed that they report by the same
means every hour, whether anything
occurs On their beats or not. Ii is not
expected that the scheme will go into
peri oct practical operation at once.
Drunken roughs may smash the boxes,
thieves cut the wires, and small boys
play pranks with the arrangements,
but this was no more than was done
with the fire alarm telegraph when it
was first established, ami that the
police telephone alarm contains the
germs Of an equally sound idea Ii evil
oent.
