A CLOCK THAT Winds Itself Up.-In
Septe mber last new perpetual clock was
put up at the Care du Nord. Brussels, in
such position as to be fully exposed to
the influence of wind and weather; and,
although it has not since been touched, it
has continued to keep good time ever since.
The weight is kept constantly wound up
by fan placed in chimney. AS soon as
it approaches the extreme height of It's
course it actuates a brake, which stops
the fan; and the greater the tendency of
the fan to revolve, so much more strongly
does the brake act to prevent it. A SIM
pie pawl arrangement prevents down
draught from exerting any effect. There
is no necessity for FIRE, as the natural
draught of chimney or pipe is sufficient;
and if the clock is placed out of doors all
that is required is to place it above pipe,
sixteen or twenty feet high. The clock is
usually made to work for twenty-four
hours after being wound up, so as to pro-
vide for any temporary stoppage, but by
the addition of wheel or two it may be
made to go for eight days after cessation
Of winding. The inventor, M. Auguste
Dardenne. a native of BEGUN, showed his
original model at the Paris Exhibition of
1873 but has since considerably improved
upon lt.-Jour,,az Of the Society of Arts.

EMBALMING IN ITALY.-The prime ipal
Italian embalmers keep their special pro-
cesses secret, although the chief steps
are well known. The process of embalm-
ing is stated to consist of five steps. First,
cold water is injected through the whole
circulatorY system until it issues quite
clear. This may take as long as five
hours. Alcohol is then injected for the
purpose of abstracting all the water from
the body. This is followed up by the IN
lection of ether. to dissolve out the fatty
matter. This injection is carried on for
several hours-in thin subjects for two, in
very fat ones for even as long as ten hours.
After this strong solution of tannin is
slowly injected, and full time is allowed
for its soaking into all the tissues; this
takes from two to five hours. Lastly the
body is exposed for from two to five hours
to current of warm air, which is previ-
ously dried by passing over heated chloride
of calcium. The body can then be pre-
served for any length of time without un-
dergoing change, and is as hard as stone.

Man and His Buttons.

Did you ever see man in the solitude
and privacy of his study attempt to sew on
a button by himself9 1t is, in all its de-
tails, one of the most interesting perform
ances in the world. First he hunts for a
button. Generally, to secure it, he robs
Peter to pay Paul, and cuts one from
! another garment. This button may be
much larger Or much smaller than the size
he is wearing. Next he hunts needle
Probably be goes out and buys paper of
needles. He always chooses the largest
needles, having an impression that large
les. AS to thread, he gets the coarsest he
can find, and this he doubles. He would
thread his needle. He takes his big needle
in one hand and his coarse black thread
in the other. He bites off the thread to a
desirable length. Then he tries to twist
it to a fine point. Generally in this he
succeeds in making two, and sometimes
three, fne points out of one end. Of course
he can't get all these points through the
needles eye at once. He tries hard to
make that needle and thread get on friend
ly terms with each other, but they won't.
They don't want to get acquainted. They
don't wish to have anything to do with each
other. Sometimes it is the needle that
kicks; sometimes the thread. Sometimes
he imagines he has really threaded his
needle. 1t is an ocular delusion. The
thread has missed the needles eye by half
an inch. 1t is harder work than saving
wood. At last the needle is threaded.
Now he tries to sew the button on with
out taking his trousers off. This proves a
failure. He twists himself into an I'M
comfortable position, and so would sew.
But he can't sew so. He runs the needle
int himself, and the contrary thread al
ways insists in fouling or in doubling
around the next button. Then one part Of
the doubled thread won't WORK harmoni-
ously with the other part. One part draws
through the buttons eye first and leaves
the other part behind. Then it gets hitch
ed up, and the ambassador swears. Or the
needle breaks.-And then he swears. He
may not swear audiblY. But the recording
angel knows what is going on inside of him,
and debts him with every item. He sews
hard. He has forgotten all about the ne
cessity for thimble. He jams his thumb
down on the needles head and it pune
lures his thumb or runs it under the nail.
By and by he sews the buttons eye full of
thread. His big needle won't pass through
any more. He must stop. He ends by
winding the thread as many times as it
! will go under the button. And perhaps
he leaves off with two or three inches Of
thread sticking outside. A woman can,
through many outward indications, tell
when d man has been trying to sew on a
button. He doesn't know the shibboleth
of needle and thread, and it catches some
VIII ere every time. At last the button is
sewed on and he is proud of his work

Ut was the first time she had ever called

that, too" said Lefty, hurriedly.
Forgive me, Brougham, but l must
see Rick"
And the good fellow, hesitating no long

with a tugging at his heart strings, went
off to seek his rival. He found him and
brought him back to the girl they both
loved.

What Might Have Been.

The sorrow over the fate of belong and
his companions, who persisted amid the
Siberian SHOWS. will be increased by learn
ing how near they were to safety. The
latest account of the facts obtained by the
search party indicate that but for acct
dents and mistakes of the most trif1lng
character all but one of De Longs party
and himself might have been alive to-day.
The first and most grievous mistake was
the leaving of their only shot gun at the
hut where they first found shelter after
reaching shore, and the taking in its stead
a rife. Had they kept the shotgun they
could have subsidized on ptarmigan--a spe-
cies of grouse-until assistance arrived.
The rifle was an Intellectual weapon against
ptarm igan, which from De Longs record
appears to have been numerous, and it was
rarely that one was brought down. Had
they even remained at the hut where they
left the shot gun they would have been
saved, for the natives visited the hut a
short time afterwards and found the shot
gun there; saw also the footprints of the
party ''only two days old' but thinking
they were the tracks of smugglers or rob-
GERS, went away, and when they learned
subsequently that it was De Longs party,
fearing punishment, they remained silent
for some weeks until rescue was too late.
IT belong had landed thirty miles further
west, or pursued westward course thirty
miles-he would have struck village of
natives who live north of Bulun all the
year. It is now ascertained that within
thirteen miles of the route which the par
ty took, twenty reindeer carcasses were
hanging in hut for winter food. By a
slight DETECTION from the line of route on
starting it is now said that the party
would have struck this well provisioned
hut. A more grievous chapter Of acct
dents, all tending to the one fatal ending,
cannot be imagined. It shows upon what
slight, almost trivial circumstances the
life or death of individuals may depend.
If belong had not doubted the existence
of the Island of Stolboy, or assumed that
his boats had passed it long before, and if
in that view he had not persisted that they
were on the Island of Titary, about TWEEN
ty-fve miles from Kumak-Surka; if he had
not taken the supposed route to Kumak-
Surka when in point of fact he was NOV
ing toward Stolboy; if he had gone west
ward but thirty miles, or in anothe. direc-
ton branching off fifteen miles from his
line of route, or if he had not left his shot
gun at the hut, or if he had halted but two
days there, the whole party, except the
one sick comrade. and perhaps even he,
might have been saved. But it was fated
to be different, and all hypothesis amount
to nothing. It is so easy to be wise after
the fact.
