DEATH OF JUDGE THOMAS c.
GREEN.--Judge Thomas G. Green, a
member of the Supreme Court of APP
peals of West Virginia, died at his
residence in Charlestown at IL O'Clock
on Wednesday. He has been in de-
clinIng health for long time, but his

suited from apoplexy. Judge Green

he married the daughter of Col. An
gus w. Mcdonald. He held no Office
before the war except that of mayor
of the town, which position he held
during the John Brown raid and SUBJ
sequent trial and execution. Judge
Richard Parker appointed Judge
Green to defend John Brown, but
Browns friends having engaged other
counsel, he at the request of Brown,
retired in their favor. AT the begin
ming of the war he joined Company
B, Second Regiment Virginia Volun-
teers, as private, and served in that
capacity, fighting CALAMITY in the
battle of Manassas, and other places,
until he was elected to the Virginia
Legislature, where he served one
term, and was then appointed com.
missioner of internal revenue for the
Confederacy, which position he held
until the close of the war. He then
returned to Charlestown and resumed
the practice of law. In 1876 he was
appointed by Gov. Jacob to the Su.
preme Court Of this State to fill va
cancy caused by the death of Judge
Hoffman. This position Judge Greer
held until his death, being twice elect
ed by the people, first in 1876 and
1880 for a full term of twelve years

Curioua HaIlatones.

Curious phenomena Of the hailstorm,
which visited Philadelphia on Oct. ]
last, are discussed by Professor Edwin
]. Houston, Of the high school, in the
current number Of The Franklin Insti-
tute Journal. It is stated that on some
Of the hailstones which fell, though not
on the majority, were well marked crys-
tails Of clear transparent ice projected
from their outer surfaces for distances
ranging from an eighth to quarter OF
an inch. "It is difficult to conceive"
saws Professor Houston, "what condi-
tons could have existed in the dense
masses of vapor from which the stones
received their successive coatings, which
permitted the vapor to act as a mother
LIQUID, despite the violent motions of the
stones, so generally to exist during their
formation. The formation OF such crys-
tails would seem to require comparative
rest of the stones in dense vapor a short
period before their final fall to the earth. ("
Professor Houston suggests that the
theory of an ascending current OF air
would seem to offer the best explanation.

EpIsoN,s EIENplsH CLOCK.
The Wizards Latest Invention Il DIabol-
Ical I'm Its Possibilities.

Thomas Edison, the phenomenal In
ventor, has reached a critical stage in
his career, and it would be a strange
sarcasm Of fate II his latest invention
should make him positively abhorrent
to the growing generation. Over in his
laboratory at Llewellyn park is this in
vention. 1t has been tried and found
perfect, and it is a photographic clock
which, instead of Ginning the hours,
calls them out at every quarter in a
voice full of clearness. 1t may be fitted
with any set to suit the purposes for
which it may be intended. To a re-
porter it was exhibited yesterday.
The inventor was CHEEKY and playful as
he always is. "The clock" said he, "isI
an improvement, and If it were only inI
the market now it might save you report
ers a great deal Of worriment. For in
stance, say you are at a political meet
ing with dozen speakers carded. They
are each to have half hour. You know
what fiction that is. But now, if you
had a clock like this, see how it would
work." and here Mr.. Edison placed set
within it. He pointed the hand to the
quarter of an hour and voice came ring
ing out; "This speaker is half through" /"
At the half hour the clock blurted out:
"The audience will please not encore.
The gentleman now gives way to an
other"
"The only fear have" continued Mr..
Edison, sis that the young unmarried
folks may not relish it. You are married:
No? Well, don't give this out as bribe,
but when you get entangled in the pre-
liminaries come to me and will give
you one that you may present to the
family into which you aspire to be ad,
mitted. 1t will be tibber. I'm little
in doubt about the popularity of the
parlor clock with the younger people"
Mr.. Edison has good reason to fear. A
more tantalizing ornament TO a pair ot
ardent lovers than matrimonial parlol
photographic clock cannot be imagined
Fancy, for instance, a Sunday evening il
cozy parlor with two hearts beating al
one startled by the voice from the man
tel: "Good night, fond good night. Ii
another hour it will be midnight" Thel
dolefully at quarter past and each sue
ceeding quarter comes out its hoars
croakings, until 1855, when it blurts out
"In five minutes more it will he to
morrow" and every ten minutes subse
quently the air is filed with its mauldins
such as: "Ahi how still the hour" "Ma
bel, l am watching thee, ha, ha!' "Me
thinks hear the spirit of thy MANN
upon the stairs" "Please don't heed me
it is my misfortune that Imust warn yo
that the hour is half-past 12." ''Did
hear you ask me to get that hat?" "Wi
you kindly remember me in your pray
ers?' "Look out hear a footstep. Hs
ha! l was only fooling thee!' "Ill 500
have to call father to go to his office"
And SO the clock jabbers on most e1
asperatingly. Of course the words al
set to suit the circumstances. If tn
wooer be favored person of course til
language will be much different, the tor
of the clock will be sweet and simperins
and the words coy and captivating
