Elwood Dorm is its name. For the past

The boat makes hourly trips, and II is
easy to cross, get married, and return on

this couldn't be done. The clergymen
could not marry those who came fast
enough TO send them all back on the re-
turn trip. AZ one parsons house the va
rious couples filed the good mans parlor

hall. They watched one another get mar

A MODERN GRETNA GREEN.


TRENTON, N. j., Dec 2O.--New Jcr-
sey has It's Grctna Green. 1t has
its place where lovers resort when they
desire the marriage knot tied without at
tracing attention and without any legal
obstacles being intorposcd, Burlington
Is the name OF the Jersey Gretna
Green 1t Is an ancient and sleepy
town, situated on the banks of the
Delaware river Il few miles below
here IL lives ON its history The
traditions OF the place say that William
Penn originally intended TO make Burling-
ton what he eventually made Philadelphia.
He changed his mind simply because naW-
CATION was better at the spot where
Philadelphia stands than where Burlng-
ton Is, Among the famous Burlington
natives now under the sod were James
Fennimorc Cooper, the novelist, and
Capt, Lawrence, the bold naval hero. At
one time or another Burlington had for
citizens Admiral De Camp, Commodore
Engle, cX-President Grant, and cX-United
States Attorney.Gcn, Bradford. 81. Mary's
church received its charter during the
reign of Queen Anne, and the town Itself
Is one OF the oldest in the country. 1t
still possesses number OF quaint old
houses, and the Quaker element is very
strong, probably stronger than In any
other place OF It's size in the United
States
II Is only lately, however, that Burling-
ton has become a Gretna Green, IL is all
owing to the new marriage law adopted
in Pennsylvania This law only allows
marriages after licenses have been OBJ
tanned from the county clerk, The county
clerk Is required to ask number OF
searching questions that a good many
lovers hesitate to answer. Hence balled
SWANS and lasses seek some spot where
the law Is less strict, and where the min
lister can take the word of the bride aud
groom as TO age and the like. Burlington
proves TO be the spot II is the only
place for miles that can be quietly
reached from Pennsylvania without at
tracing attention. Cambridge aud Tren-
ton are too large, and there is risk OF
discovery But Burlington is perfectly

PNEUMATIC TINE.
Clocks Kept Wound by an Air-Blast, aud
Regulated by IL Every Hour.
New York sun.


A new system for furnishing correct
time to any number of offices or houses
from a central station is on exhibition at
No. 10 Broadway. The Vita principle OF
the new invention is the use OF com
pressed air TO wind and regulate ordinaly
clocks. Attached to each clock is q little
upright brass cylinder within which is Il
rubber bellows. A tube conducts com
pressed air from the central station to in
fate the bellows, and the current of air
is 80 regulated that blast sends the bel
lows up at the end of every hour. The
rise OF the bellows winds the clock as
much as it has run down during the hour,
and also throws the minute hand around
exactly TO the XII mark, provided the
clock has gained or lost any during the
hour.
The machine for creating the air-blast
is operated by water-pressure from the
city mains or any other untailing source.
The blast is controlled by means Of a reg
uator clock, which opens an electric cur
rent ut the right time.
