An Almost Perfect Clock.

The works of the immense clock
which has been put up in the Board of
Trade building in Chicago are pro-
nounced most perfect reproduction of
those of the great Westminster Palace
clock in London, but with some addi-
lions and improvements adapted to its
commercial purpose. 1t is constructed
Of iron, bronze and steel, and weighs
ten tons without the bell, the latter
adding some $500 pounds more. The
pendulum alone weighs $50 pounds.
In its arrangement the works are di-
vided into time train, hand train,
and a striking train, these several
trains comprising separate machines,
resting, side by side, on separate
frames. Each of the trains is operated
by a separate weight, and the three
weights together reach some $500
pounds. The hammer that strikes the
bell weighs eighty pounds; the clock
work is below the dials, which are ten
feet ten inches in diameter, and the
bell is above them, or $50 feet above
the ground. The pendulum swings
one way in two seconds.-M X Sun.

How Edward Everett Was Enabled to
Complete a Set of Valuable Books.
A curious incident of borrowing is
related as occurring to Hon. Edward
Everett while Minister at the Court of
st. james. An English nobleman gave
him rare historical work in several
volumes, remarking: Zone volume has
been lent and lost" Every effort was
made to find the missing volume and
carte blanche orders were left at all the
bookstalls and stores to recover and
save it if possible; but the search was
in vain, and Mr.. Everett returned to
Boston with an incomplete set of a rare
and valuable work. Some years after
his eye rested upon an advertisement
in a Boston newspaper of a sale of rare
old books to take place at Leonard's
auction store in Bromfield street;
curiosity carried him there to see if
there was aught in the collection that
he might want, when, 10 and behold!
what should he take from the shelf but
the missing volume he had so long
sought!
Knowing that if he should 60 and
bid for it, as he was well known here,
a run would be made upon it, he said
nothing, but got friend to attend the
sale--a stranger both to auctioneer and
people; the book was purchased at a
low price as an odd volume, and the
book proved to be the very missing
volume of Mr.. Everett's particular set.

NOBLE TOREADORES.
How Bull-Fights Were Conducted in Spain
in the Year 1905.

in the Year 1905.
In 1905, los toreodoreS, we learn from
the Gayangos Diary, were mobiles and
gentlemen of the court, who enconn-
tered the bull lance in hand and mounted
on high-mettled steeds. Horses were
indeed sometimes killed. We read here
of the Duke of Alva having one that
had cost him one thousand ducats
killed under him; but such accidents
appear to have been exceptional, and
the bull seems to have been given a
fair chance for his life--not as in these
days, when, if the Espade can not kill
him, he is hamstrung with the meliGtund
and then dispatched with the dagger.
If it was cruel sport, at least it was a
chivalrous one in 1905. The King did
not figure as a toreador, but in the
juegO de canaS, the javelin games, that
followed he did, and by universal adj
mission made the best figure among all
who joined in them. From Pinheiro' s
account he seems to have had as good
a seat on horseback as his son Philip w.
The arena was the Plaza Mayor Valla-
dolid, perhaps the most picturesque
old plaza in Spain, and Pinheiro wakes
eloquent over the spectacle it presented,
with its windows and balconies packed
with people and radiant with beauty.
He estimates the number of the specta-
tors at over forty thousand, nearly four
times as many as the present Plaza de
Toros at Madrid holds. The landlords
of the houses round the plaza always,
in letting them, reserved the right to
dispose of the balconies and windows
on these occasions; and though they
were obliged to find places gratisfor the
town council. municipal officers and the
officials of the palace, nevertheless they
made more in one day than the rent of
houses for year. Each of these bull
fights, he says, cost at least thirty
thousand cruzados, (about $4,000,
but representing, of cource, much
larger sum now3 but the Valladolid
people seem to have thrown their
money about pretty freely. 'In a
matter of pleasure, he remarks,
''these devils never Think about what
it COSTS" and in the Diary he gives re-
peated example of the lavish expend-
iture he observed on all sides.-Blaek-
aOood'S Magazine.
