Prince WilheIm's Deformity.

If the throat trouble Of the Crown
Prince Of Germany causes his death
soon, the heir to the throne will be his
eldest son, Prince Wilhelm, Of whom
the Countess Won Krocknow writes:
The Germans can not forgive an heir
apparent of the throne having been
born mediocre in figure and imperfect
ly formed. Prince Wilhelm has Il
crippled arm The fingers are mere
knobs. In the Hussar uniform there is
a pocket, and he wears it because the
three fingers Of the helpless member
can be hung in the pocket. Otherwise
it hangs awkwardly and hclplessly in
the sleeve. His horses are especially
trained, and before the Prince is to
to mount are ridden thrcc-quarters of
an hour to wear them down. He can
just manage to hold the reins. We
were together in a country house. |

which he eats. 1t is of silver, and not
conspiciously different from others, but
fixed 10 the under tine there is a sharp,
small blade. What the Prince can not
cut with the one hand and with this
blade he does not undertake to eat.
The right hand and arm are large and
of extraordinary dcXtcrity, but the lit
tie finger is dcformed by a growth
which the Prince only imperfectly con-
ceals by wearing rings up to near the
third phalange. ~. Y San.

THE BIGGEST CLOCK,


Phiiadelpi,ia's City Hall.
Philadelphia is coming to time, and
vice versa. The clock that is TO be
put into the tower of the public build.
ing at Philadelphia is to be a grand af.
fair. The dial will be twenty-five feet
in diameter, and the center of the dial
will be 36l feet above the street. The
dial will be illuminated by electricity,
and it is calculated that the time can
be c at night from any point in the
city, and with Il ficld-glass the position
OF the hands can be distinguished at Il
distance of fifteen miles, The minute
hand of the clock will be twelve feet
long, and the hour hand will measure
nine feet in length. The size of the
Roman figures OF the dial will be two
feet eight inches in length. A steam
engine will be place in the tower to
wind the clock up every day. The
clock-makers who have been invited to
give their views concerning the build
ing of the clock all say that nobody
in this country is able to build such
an enormous time-picce. 1t will take
a whole year to place the clock ma.
chinery in the tower after the building
has been completed. The bell for the
clock is to weigh between 0 1000 and
$4,000 pounds, and will be calculated
TO peal out so loud that it can be heard
in the distant parts of the city. There
will be what are known as Westminster
chimes, and they will ring on the
quarter. half. thrcc-quarters and hour.
The bell will be the next heaviest on
the continent. The heaviest is in the
cathedral in Montreal and weighs 2s,.

TIE DIRT DAUBER.


lhls strange Fellow.
Did you ever study the dirt daub.
cr,' said Mi Joseph Ormond. ut is
a very curious fellow, lie builds him
Il little mud house ON the wall, deposits
an cgg in it, catches half Il dozen
spiders, or flies, stiugs them into in
s~ensibiiity, puts them in the house
around the egg, closes up the door and
goes about his business. These spiders
are not killed. When the dirt dauber
stings them, he %injccts 4 poison into
them which p~aralylcs them. 1t sus-
ponds life, and does not produce death.
There is no decay, no shrinking. The
spider remains plump, and precisely as
it was in life, but is unable to move.
When the young dirt daubcr matches
out, he lives on these spiders until he
is able to crack the shell of his house,
and 90 out into the world"
"Wcll, what is the point of all this?"
Every important. Chemistry is the
coming science. A chemist declares
that he can analyze almost any sub
stance given him. When he once dis

made, he can reproduce it in guam

mcnts. Now, the dirt daubcr in
iects into the spider some liquid
poison that simply arrests the vital
functions, without bringing about de-
cay Suppose a chemist now can an
alyze this liquid poison, and ascertain
ing its elements, reproduce it in
quantity. Then the world would be
revolutionizcd. You could take a
thimbleful of it, inject it into an OK
and he will keep fresh for fifty years.
You could paralyze poultry with it, or
any sort OF animal you desire to keep.
Why, even a murderer could be handled
with it. Instead of hanging the MUIR
derer, just condemn him to fifty years
of paralysis, Inject your poison into
him and lay him on the shelf. This
would do away with iails, by establish

tcriiy to withdraw the poison at the
end of Il hundred years. He can then
come back on deck again, and live ont

ditions. There is y great future in

a large dirt dauber, collect a quantity
of his self-aeting anmsthetic, analyze
it, then synthetic 1t, and you have the
