Making Rase Balls.

Winding base-balls by hand is a
thing of the past, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Machines have been in
vented to do the work automatically
consequently every ball is like its
fellow. Each machine winds two balls
at one time. A little para rubber ball
weighing three-quarters OF an ounce,
around which one turn has been made
with an end of skein of old-fashioned
gray stocking-yarn, is slipped into the
machine. Then another, after which
the boy in charge touches lever, the
machine starts, and the winding begins.
The rubber ball is hidden in a few
seconds and in its place appears a lit
tie gray yarn ball that rapidly grows
larger and larger. When it appears to
be about half the size of the regulation
baseball there is a click, the machine
stops, the yarn is cut, and the boy
picks out the ball and tOsses it into a
basket. When this basket is full it is
passed along to another boy who runs
similar machine, where a half-ounce
layer of worsted yarn is put on.
The next machine adds a layer of
strong white cotton thread, and by
watching closely as the white appears
on the surface of the gray the beauty
of the winding machine can be appre-
ciated. There is perfect regularity and
no point where the thread crosses
oftener than in another. A coating of
rubber cement is next applied, and a
half-ounce layer of the very best fine
worsted completes the ball with the
exception of the cover. Each ball
when completed must weigh five and
a quarter ounces and measure nine
and a quarter inches in circumfer-
ence. The minute differences in the
balls are equahzed by the thickness
of the cover.
Every ball and cover is weighed be-
fore the cover is sewed on. The cover
resembles two figure IS in shape and
is cut from selected and specially pre-
pared horse hides. There is only one
kind of professional dead-ball made,
the supposed differences lying in the
cover and stamps only. The pateatees
of the winding machines employ about
500 hands at their factory in this city
and have about 10000 dozen balls
now in stock. Several cheap grades
of balls are also manufactured, those
retailing for 3 and 10 cents being made
from pressed leather shavings.

The Tale Of a Clock.

/ The most UNIQUE and one of the most
valuable clocks probably in this city,
says the Philadelphia Record. is owned
by DIR. j. Newton Walker. The time
piece originally cost 81, 900 and was
purchased in France by the grand
father of the present owner over 100
years ago. 1t is a production of the
latter part of the Louis XVI. period.
The peculiarity of the style of its finish,
together with the subject portrayed in
its decoration, forms n representative
type of the art of that age when every
thing that contained the slightest
semblance to classicism was fashion,
| able. As work of art it is inyalua-
BILE as showing the growth of rich de-
sign during the age following the
| palmer and sterner handicraft of the
ages of Louis XIV. and Louis XIV.
The clock weighs nearly $50 pounds,
and is Is inches in height and l5 inches
in breadth. 1t is made of Parian mar
bic and bronze, with several brass
figures and gilt mounting. This work
of art stands on four lions paws of
brass. The clock proper rests beneath
marble pediment having a dial of
scarce inches in diameter, on which
two gilt-mounted brass hands rotate.
Near the base of the dial are two
smaller dials to mark the days of the
week and month, and also the time of
tides according to full, half and quarter
moons. The clock-wOrk is partially
imbedded in the marble pediment
above. The latter is an ingenious
piece of artistic workmanship. 1t
is frieze-like affair, with representa-
tions of the principal deities of Grecian
mythology.
Most interesting however, is the
super-structure of bronze. copper. and
brass, which contains an historical
scene from the last stage of the French
revolution during the reign of terror.
The scene is a subterranean prison,
beautifully worked in bronze and cop
per. A Girondist of bronze has been
imprisoned to die of starvation. His
feet are chained to two huge stones
represented in brass, while on each of
his wrists are attached light chains
fastened 10 several weights. Seated near
him is bronze figure of a beautiful
girl, his daugher, who is allowed to
see him once a day during his i'm
prisonment.
Her position is such as to infer that he
had Just received nourishment from
her. Lizards and serpents-in brass
are represented as creeping and crawl
ing among the crevices of the rocks
out of which the prison is cut. At the
far end of the prison beyond the bars
of small window is the face of the
spy appointed by the prison-keepers to
ascertain how it was the prisoner was
able to prolong his life SO long beyond
the time usually allowed for death by
starvation. As the story thus illus
trated relates, the daughter gave sus-
tenance to her father, to which was
added the nourishment obtained from
reptiles and lizards that he killed from
time to time. Death by the guillotinc
followed the revelation portrayed in
this scene.

How They Deal With Railroads In
Persia.

A letter from Teheran, Persia, was
published in one of the st. Petersburg
papers few DAYS ago which gave sur
prising news of the summary way in
which the offices of railway are dealt
with in that distant country. On the
road connecting the city with one of
the superbs Mohammedan was killed.
His infuriated friends who soon
gathered in the neighborhood rushed
upon the engineer and fireman. both
of whom were left half dead. The
station was burned to the ground and
the rolling stock along the line COM
pletely destroyed. The Intervention n
Of the army alone stopped further de-
molltion. The company, which was
Belgian, placed their loss at 10000
rubles and demanded restitution from
the Government. At first it was
utterly refused, the authorities arguing
that the company owed its merited loss
to carelessness. After the company
had threatened to run no more
trains and to withdraw entirely from
the country, the government COM
promised by giving them 10000
rubles and the exclusive privilege of
establishing the only match factory in
Teheran. These terms were accepted.
The road was avoided by the majority
of the inhabitants. who preferred
walking to rIsking their lives. Con-
| fldence was not restored until the
Crown Prince, man of great intlu-
ence among his people, entered the car
p ride to the castle in Teheran. With
this encouragement traffic was re-
sumed. d.-Ber|iu Letter.
