The Clock Of Strassburg.

The late transit of Venus curiously
proved the accurate calculations of the
ancient makers of that famous horo-
logical curiosity, the Strassburg clock.
A few days before the transit, the
american Register tells US, visitors to
the cathedral, inspecting in the planeta-
rum attached to the clock, noticed that
one of the small gilt balls representing
Venus was gradually moving toward a
point between the sun and the earth,
and on the day of the passage the ball
stood exactly between them. Old Con-
rad Dasypodius, the Strassburg mathe-
matician, superintendent the manufact-
ure of the clock and its accompanying
planetarium some time between 1871
"A, the dates differing according to
various authorities; and it is interesting
to note that, after three hundred years
of existence, the clock faithfully full
fills the calculations of its dead inventor.
A correspondent sends the foregoing,
which is quoted from the London
Graphic, expresses doubts of its cor
rectness, and asks for information. One
of our astronomical correspondents
sends us the following notes:
The construction of machine which
could exhibit accurately the motions,
distances and magnitude of the planets.

The Outer Hebrides.

One mile from Mingalay lies South
Bernera, the southernmost of the isles,
a bold mass of gneiss, about mile in
length and half a mile in width, sloping
gradually downward toward the east,
but presenting to the western waves
precipitous front of about seven hun.
dred feet in height, crowned with
magnificent lighthouse of granite and
iron, such as may defy the widest
storm and warn all mariners to keep as
far as possible from this deadly coast.
1t is said that this blessed light can be
discerned at a distance of upward OF
thirty miles, but practically the height
of the crag on which it has been placed
is found to be a disadvantage, as its light
is often shrouded in mist, while all is
clear below.
Lonely indeed is the lot of the men in
charge of this beacon light, left to their
own resources on this uttermost isle,
their only communication with the
outer world being when, twice a year,
the lighthouse stores are brought by
steamer, which can only lie to for
few hours, for there is no manner OF.
anchorage, and the only possible land
ing-place is shelving ledge of rock, on
which if he who would 60 ashore he must
spring at the moment when his boat
rises on the crest of a wave, and then
make the best of his way to the summit
by scrambling up slippery shelving
rock.
Once a year, too, a priest from Barra
comes here to visit his little flock, num-
bering about two score-a fine, hardy,
self-reliant race. Their isle supplies
pasture for cows and goats, so they
have the blessing of good milk; other
wise the sea-birds who congregate on
the cliffs-puffins and auks, guillemots
and kittewakes-supply their larder
with fresh meat in summer and salt
meat for winter use; also, with oil for
their lamps and feathers for bedding.
When fishing is possible the boats GO
off to wrest harvest from the sea-
cuddies, haddock, herring, founders,
lythe and sythe, rock-codlings and
skate. Eels they viii not touch, but
dog-fish are welcome, and are salted
and dried for winter store.
In the spring time thousands of eggs
are taken by bold cragsmen, who ad-
venture and sometimes sacrifice their
lives in this quest.-AH the Year Round.

must meet

Must spend with their wives one hour a day
And women must ever be groaning.
Three wives followed after three husbands,
and saw
Them laughing and drinking and smoking,
so gay,
Around a small table, and playing at draw"
with business cards in a business way.
For women are curious always to know
What business takes tired husbands out so,
And when they find out there is groaning.
Three husbands, unconscious of danger, were
Yet drcading three lectures they knew
they'd incurred.
Three furious women marched in, and-be-
hold,
Three husbands marched out without saying
word.
For none are so meek as are husbands when
caught,
And none are so good-for day as
those taught
BY wives that they, too, must be groaning.

the sight of Tom and Jerry eating up

claiming, jOyfully:
They've taken the pledge really and
truly. I'm so gladr'
1t was impossible to help laughing;
but the man was very sober again as he
said, slowly, with his hand on Jimny's
shoulder:
You shall write another for me.
I'll sign it, and keep it, too, if you will
help me, nv good little son."
II will, father. 1 will!'' cried Jimmy
with all his happy heart, and then ran
in to carry the good news to mother.

last; for he delivered many more when
