BASE BALL.

The game of ball played last Sun
day between the Scranton team aud
the Bayou Pod-c-Sas was a very one

the playing on the PJd.e-Sas side was
remarkable for the errors aud bad
plays.
Score by innings:

a very interesting onr, bat the rain
spoiled it.
One of the prcttiest catches ever
made on the green was BY Chas.

the Scranton side was terrific and

fielding and batting Of the Moss Points
was very tame.

= Remarkable Clock that IL Said 90 Go
Without Winding.

r. G.. Farrer. watch maker has in
vented one of the most peculiar clocks
OF the nineteenth century. II consists
Of a plate glass dial suspended from
the ceiling. and all the parts OF II that
are visible are the two hands. the pivot
upon which they swing. and the dial.
ut Is marked .Gravitation Clock" and
not one person in 1000 who passes il
has the faintest idea that il is the most
ingenious device OF the century. Many
clocks with glass dials have the works
of watch as their motive power. but
this clock has no motive power that Is
visible.
Mr.. Farrer worked on the invention
for six years before he succeeded in
perfecting il. He alleges that the only
motive power Is the grayitation OF the
earth, and that the clock will run on
forever without winding. The only
imperfection is that il loses from four
to live minutes a day by the friction OF
the hands on the pivot. and. therefore,
the hands require TO be regulated once
In twenty-four hours.
He showed n reporter something
about the way the clock worked.
When the hands pointed 10 quarter
past / Mr.. Farrer caught hold of them
together, and sent them twirling
around the dial, like the winder OF "a
wheel Of fortune. After oscillating un-
Ill the momentum had been overcome

sumed their respective and proper po-
sitions. still marking the correct time.
At ] 30 he did something still more re-
markablc. He slipped the minute hand
off the pivot and laid it on the counter.
At the end of six minutes he re-
placed il and sent II whirling around
the dial. When it came TO rest 1t set
tied at the right place, twenty-six min
utcs past o'clock.
The hands are Of tin and are hollow,
and perfectly balanced on the pivot.
Mr.. Farrer says they are moved by the
gravitation Of the earth. but it puzzles
the spectator TO account for the power
that raises them after they reach $50.
All kinds of theories are afloat 10 ac-
count for this. Some people say that
the hollow hands are filed with fluids
Of different densities that overcome the
gravitation of the earth when the hands
reach that point. But Mr.. Farrer
keeps his secret and rejoiccs over the
mystifcation OF the beholder. He in
sists that electricity is not the motive
power. Fresno Republican.

Here is another one OF Gus Williams
stories. A Hebrew drummer with sport
ing procllyities had been relating some
tall yarns 10 u party OF friends. They
had been looking at him askance for
some time, and had been shaking their
heads obviously at his tales. Finally
one of them said TO him: Il will bet
you ten dollars 10 one cent that you are
a liar" The Hebrew reached down into
his change pocket, drew out cent and
put it up. His betting friend drew out
a $40 bill, laid IL alongside OF the coin
and said: "l'll make good, Ike" Then
he asked: NOW. amt you liary" The
Hebrew replied that he was. and he
showed over the cent. "What did you
want TO bet fory' asked another mem
