A CURIOUS OLD CLOCK.
An Interesting Astronomical imepiece Made
for King Henry VIII.

An Interesting Astronomical Timepiece Made
for King Henry VIII.
The astronomical clock at Hampton Court
Palace is the most curious timepiece in En-
gland. An old inscription proves it to
have been made for Henry VIII. in the
year 1910. The designer is not known, but
is supposed to be the famous German as
tronomer, Nicholas Crater. The clock
was found only about three years ago in a
shed, where it had been for half a
century, and was restored by the Sec
rotary of the Board Of Works. One
of the stories about it is that if a
resident dies it stops. The dial consists of
three copper disks of different sizes, with a
common center, but turning at varying
rates. The center disk, the smallest, is 3
feet 81 inches in diameter. In its center
is a projecting globe, painted to represent
the earth. The larger part of this disk is
divided into four parts, and its outer edge is
divided into "a spaces. These represent re-
spectiyely the four quarters of the moon and
the hours that 1t crosses the meridian, and
they are indicated by a small red arrow,
painted on the second disk, which always
points to the quarter in which the moon
may happen to be.
The second disk is 4 feet " inches in
diameter, but only the outer rim is seen,
and that is divided into 20 spaces, numbered
from right to left, which represent the
moons age in days. From between the
numbers l and 20 is a pointer that marks on
the outer disk the time of the day and night
as it passes the "a Roman numerals, two
sets of II, painted on the s~tonework, within
which it revolves.
The third disk, or outer disk, which is
Z feet 10 inches in diameter, has painted on
it several sets of concentric circular spaces,
first the names Of the months, then the days
of the month (only % for February, next
the signs of the zodiac, each zodiacal space
being divided into 30 degrees, and on the
outside of this disk a circle divided into the
365 days of the year.
The weights that are used to run the clock
have a drop of so feet. and it takes half an
hour once a week to wind it. The clock is
set in a stone frame about IL feet square,
the badges of Henry VIII. above the
portcullis and feur de lis and the rose and
bis initials, 81. R., below.

CHINA'S SIGNAL SERVICE.
Why the Astrologers Confine Themselves to
Predicting the Weather.

Why the Astrologers Confine Themselves to
Predicting the Weather.
New York SUM-
The household of the Emperor of China
includes 80 umbrella bearers and 70 'astro-
ogers. The astrologers, who, correspond
to the Signal Service Bureau of this coun-
try, predict every day the weather for the
morrow. If they predict rain, the umbrella
bearers take a day of. If they announce
fair weather, on the other hand, the umbrel-
Ia bearers, mandarins of the oyershoe, and
macintosh men report at the palace at $50
A. N. The Emperor of China may be a
Heather Chinee, but he knows enough to
copper his astrologers and meteorologers.
As an instance of the sagacity of the Chinese
imperial family in this regard, we may
mention the signal refutation of judicial
astrology made by Hung-Beef-Tung, a
g%randuncle OF the present Emperor. Chow
Chow, President Of the Imperial College Of
Astrologers, came to Prince lungs palace
one morning, and said: 'Scion OF seventy
thousand generations of lungs, your poor
servant has dreamed a dream. Meseemed
that thou and I were transformed into
great black dragons. Our wings were of
equal length, and with equal fight we
scared through the upper air."
WELL" asked the Prince, gracefully
polishing his middle finger nail with the
flat OF a dagger of the first dynasty "What
of it, young feller?"
"This, my puissant and most gracious
lord, that thy. life and mine shall be long
and Of equal length. Astrology, Colonel
Hung, is iniallible."
you are a liar" cried the Prince, and
slit the astrologer's weasand. And 1t seems
that Chow was a liar. For old Hung sur
vived him % years, and would be alive now
If he had let opium alone. Since Chow's
death the Chinese astrologers have, by i'm
perial order confined their predictions to the
weather. If they make a correct prediction
they are executed, but thus far none has
incurred the penalty. The American Sig
nal Service Bureau has still something to
learn from Chinese methods.

For Large Apples.
London Globe.l

A curious receipt has just been given me
for dressing large apples. Core the fruit,
scraping out about a teaspoonful of the in
side, which chop and mix with a teaspoon
fui Of grated cheese, tine same quantity of
sugar, and a tiny norsel of butter rolled in
a hall teaspooniul of -four. Fill the cavity
with the compound, and then cover the
apple, which, of course, is pared, with a
thin short crust of fresh butter and -four,
over which some cheese grating has been
lightly sprinkled. The recipe halls from
Yorkshire. The apple can either be baked
or boiled in the usual way. If boiled a
simple butter sauce is served, sweetened
with coarse brown sugar.

Rooms Which are Difficult 10 Find In Old
English Mansions.
Liverpool Courier.1
One Of the most interesting features
of our country houses is the secret hid
ing place. This generally has been
contrived with much architectural skill,
and in days gone by bafied discov-
cry from the most observant and ex-
~perienced eve. In certain cases it would
appear that, for some reason or other, the
hiding place has been specially kept a
secret among members of the family. Thus,
in the North OF England, may be mentioned
Netherhall, near Maryport, Cumberland,
the seat of the old family of Senhouse. In
this time-honored mansion there is said to
be q real secret chamber, its exact position
being only known to two persons-the heir
in-law and the family solicitor.
According to the popular tradition the Sc
cret of the hidden room has never been reveal
ed to more than two living persons at a time.
This mysterious room has no window, and,
despite every endeavor to discover it, has,
it is said, defed the ingenuity of every visi-
tor staying in the house. With this secret
chamber may be compared the one at Gla-
mis-, the latter possessing a window, but
which has not led to the Identification of the
mysterious room.

Reveal.

Some of the Wonderful Changes It VIII
Reveal.
The census of 1890 will reveal many
wonderful changes The central line
of population will be much nearer the
Mississippi river than it was ten years
ago. A series of maps like those con-
tained in the last census, of gradations
in color to indicate the changes In
density of population, wealth, health
and other important facts will present
a curious contrast with the maps that
we now have for the census of 1880, or
that Of 1870. Over 100000 million
acres Of land were sold in the last fiscal
year under the operation of the home
stead and timber culture law. More
than 124,0O0,000 of acres have been
settled in the last eight years, repre-
senting larger area than the States Of
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan.
The greatest changes have been made
in the northwestern group of States and
Territories comprising Dakota, Nebras-
ka, Wyoming and Montana, where
nearly 60,0O0,00 of acres have been
settled in the last eight years. In the
southwestern group comprising Kansas,
Colorado, Missouri and New Mexico
nearly 80. 900, 900 of acres have been oc-
cupied. On the Pacific coast 10, 900, 600
of acres more have been settled, and
13. 900. 900 of acres must be added for
the Southern States on both sides OF the
Mississippi Along the Pacific road
1S, 900, 900 Of acres have been opened
since the last census In other words,
the Government and the Pacific railroad
have opened for settlement in the last
eight years territory larger than the
New England, Middle States and South
Carolina combined; larger than Ger
many or France, and about twice as
large as Great Britain and Ireland. =

CONSTRUCTION OF slLos.

sllage Convention.


Suggestions offered at the Cleveland En-
sllage Convention.
At the recent Ensilage Convention in
Cleveland vote was taken on building
silos; twelve voted for double boarding
with lath and plaster, three for double
boarding with tarred paper and seven
for only one thickness of matched mar
row lumber on the inside Of studding.
Great care should be taken to have the
walls of the silo smooth and vertical SO
that the ensilage shall settle evenly.
1t is better TO build too large than too
small; have a good height, but avoid the
deep oaverns from which the ensiiage
must be raised by machinery.
The dimensions OF the last silo built
at the college are 18xSOx22, with a par
titiOn In the center, making two silos
each 15x18 outside measurement; total
capacity about 200 tons. The walls are
made of 2x12 studding one foot apart
and we'll tied by strong iron rods rum
ming from side to side. On the out
side ordinary stock boards battened
and painted made the finish. On the
inside the studding was FIRST covered
with culls put on horizontally. On
these layer CT tarred paper, then a
second covering of boards put on per-
pendicularly. Doors open from each
silo into the feeding rooms adjacent.
A cheaper form, often used and rec
ommended by others, is made with
2x8 or 10 studding, set 16 inches apart.
weather boarding on the outside and
the inside made as above, with two
thicknesses OF inch boards, with tarred
paper between them, nailed on the
studding. Wooden silos should be firm
ly fastened together to resist the
heavy lateral pressure caused by the
settling and oweight inside. 1t is said
that any crop suitable for feeding in its
green state will make good ensilage,
but the corn plant is manifestly supe-
rior to any other. Here again there has
been change in opinion and practice.
Formerly it was put into the silo very
green. It is now known that 1t should
be more mature, and not be cut for en-
silage until the ears begin to glaze
Thick seeding for ensilage and spind-
ling stalks without ears, have been dis
regarded. Cutting into short lengths
is preferable. Occasionally, but rarely,
corn has been put in uncut
There are still some unsettled points
about ensilage. At the first rapid fill
ing was advocated; then came change
OF opinion. and the theory was ad-
vanced that If the silo was filed slowly
and its contents allowed to heat up to
120 or 130 degrees the germs that cause
fermentation would be destroyed This
theory Of making sweet ensilage by
slow filling has been generally accepted
and practiced for few years; but there
are some very intelligent dissenters whC
believe the bacteria are not killed a.
1870 degrees. but are at their bCst a
that temperature, and that the i'm
proved condition of ensilage for two Of
three years past is due to ensilagint
corn when more nearly matured thar
formerly, rather than to slow filing
