The first public clock was raised on

striking clock was placed on tower at
Bologna in 1856. From Italy the inven-

sessed public clock. 1t was set up on
tower of the kings palace, and was
built by German workmen.
The FREELY, SO frequent in the warm

Prescott tells us that when the Spanish
invaders were marching upon Mexico
they camped one night on rising bit of
land near the city, and as the darkness
set IN numerous moving lights became
visible In the valley below. Column upon
column seemed rushing to and fro, march
ing and countermarching. The soldiers
were impressed with the belief that a vast
army, carrying fiambeaux, was moving
upon them; they rushed to arms. only to
find the moving lights the lanterns of in

The old style Irish harp was about
four feet high, had no pedals and was
strung to the back with straps. The one
belonging to King Brian Borue, who was
killed at the battle of Clontarf in 1914,
is still preserved in the museum at Trim
ity college, Dublin. 1t is black with
age, and polished, but worm-eaten. The
old relic is adorned with silver ornaments
The kings son, league, took the harp to
Rome after the battle, and presented it
to the Pope, together with the crown
and regalia that had been worn by his
father. a succeeding pope gave it to
Henry VIII, together with the title of
defender of the Faith, and Henry gave
it to the Earl of Clanricarde in whose
family it was held until the beginning
of the eighteenth century. 1t then passed
through several hands until 1856, when
the college became its owner

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Care of Pastures.

The pasture is almost always the most
neglected part of the farm, and partly
for the reason that, however much is done
to it, the land will still not be so produc-
tive as in some other crop. If manure is
applied it makes weeds grow, with little
chance for getting them out. If there is
increased growth Of grass one-half the
grain is wasted by the trampling of cattle
and horses. Still, it will often pay to
top-dress a pasture, especially year or
more before it is to be plowed, so that
the manure can be well worked through
the soil. Cultipator.

A Procession of Sun.Spots.

Everybody who watched the sun with
a telescope last summer must have Won
dered at the great belt of spots lying
across the southern part of the disk dur
ing last half of July Several of the spots
and groups were of extraordinary size,
and their arrangement was very singular.
When the belt extended completely across
the sun, there was visible at one time
most every characteristic form that sun
spots present. There was the yawning
black chasm with sharply defined yet
ragged edges, vast enough to swallow up
the whole earth, with room to spare and
surrounded by regular pcnumbral Dor
der as evenly shaded as an artist could
have made it; there was the double or
triple spot whose black centers, though
widely separated from one another, were
tangled, as it were. in one twisted and
torn veil of penumbra, or connected by
long, shadowy bands; there was the
monstrous spot of grotesque form sur
rounded by crowd of smaller spots
of even more fantastic shape, and envel-
oped in broad, irregular penumbra as
bizarre and wonderful rs the mighty sun
chasms inclosed in it; there was the
great spot, often Of singular outline, ac-
companled outside its shadowy borders
by one or more swarms of minute black
spccks pitting the white photosphere in
the most extraordinary fashion; there
was the huge group, visible even to the
unasssted eye, and consisting of half II
dozen or more large spots intcrmingled
with smaller ones whose number seemed
to defy counting, and envelopcd in
pcnumbral cloak of becoming amplitude:
there, near the edges of the disk, were
the crinkling lines and heapcd-up masses
of faculp, the mountainous hydrogen
flames which marked the places where
the intensest solar action was going on
in short, there was panorama in which
every variety of sun-spot seemed to be
passing in gigantic procession across
the disk. And what procession it
long enough, nearly, to reach
from the earth to the moon and back
again three times !-P1pular Science

NitrO-Glyccrine.

Nitro-glycerine is made by adding,
drop by drop, nitric acid of certain
specific gravity to glycerne immersed in
a freezing mixture. An amount of sui
phuric acid is then added to the mixture,
it being still kept at a very low tempera-
ture The oily nitro-glycerine that floats
on the top of the acid liquid is then
taken off, and it is ready for use. Giant
powder or dynamite is made by mixing
nitro glycerine with infusorial porous
earth. Gun cotton is made by sleeping
cotton fiber for forty-eight hours in a
mixture of one part of sulphuric acid
with three Of nitric acid. 1t is then
washed in running water and dried.

A reliable foreign authority ON dairy
matters gives the following opinion in
regard to this question:: First of all,
the cream must be taken from the milk
while it is perfectly sweet. Twelve
hours in summer and twcnty-four in
winter should be the maximum time
which the milk should stand before the
cream is taken of Many people will say
that great deal of cream would thereby
be left in the milk, Then l say, take a
second Swimming, but do not mix it with
the first. Churn both separately, and
then judge for yourselves whether you do
not get first class butter from one and

The Troy Times says that as two speci-
mems of that new variety of animal
popularity known as the dude were pur-
suing their conspicuous yet harmless way
along the streets of Troy, two represent
tatiyes of the farming districts spied
them. The grangers halted and surveyed
the curiosities with surprise and increas-
ing interest, but look of disappoint-
ment overspread their honest counte-
nonces as one of the ruralists said to the
other; Gosh What things we see

Surprising to French People.

An article on "American Methods of In
struction," by Mr.. Theodore Stanton, the
son Of Mr.. Fl. b. Stanton and Mrs Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, in the mid-January number
of the Nowelle Reu7te, appears to have attrac-
ted an unusual degree Of attention ON ac-
count of the novelty to the French mind of
its statements. Mr.. Stanton, whose prin-
cipal theme is Cornell University, describes
the characteristics Of student life in our uni
versties and colleges in general, and dwelis
in particular upon the peculiar features Of
the institution at ithaca. The things that
arouse the most curiosity judging from a
review OF Mr. Stanton's article by NJ .Quarcey,
the famous dramatic critic, in the NIX Siicls
for January II, are his description Of the re-
ligious freedom which prevails at Cornell
and his interesting account of the success
OF the experiment of the co-education OF the
sexes which has been in operation there for
10 years. The co-educat!on plan especially
excites the astonishment of NJ. Quarcey.
Mr.. Stanton's article is written In an en-
tertaining style, and will doubtless serve to
awaken In France desire to hear more of
the peculiar aspects Of American life.

The curtain of the back drawing room
was drawn aside, and we were rather sur
prised to see nothing hut a wooden rocking
horse on the temporary stage. We were
told to guess an island in the Greek arch
ipelago. After some demur, one individual,
brighter than the rest, exclaimed, "Delos--

The curtain fell, and after pause rose
again, displayed to the astonished lockers
on the very identical, irrepressible rocking
horse, with his head in the contrary direc-
ton We were told 10 guess another island
in the Greek archipelago.
There was dead silence. Some one
vainly suggested "Chios," misprononced
shy horse; but that would not do for the
deal horse was as steady as old Time, At
length a small hoy, late from school, ex-
claimed "Samosw and It was the same
