FACTS ABOUT CLOCKS.
One Second per Week the Lowest varis-
ton Yot shown.

A chronometer maker: Clocks have
been a great blessing to mankind. The
business has become an extensive one, and
one that necessarily demands accuracy and
skill. Defects in the works of clock or
watch are so apt to occur, and the condI-
tions for even approximate accuracy are so
eracting, that only geniuses are successful
in making time-pieces.
"About one second per week Is the low
est variation yet secured. Fifty years ago,
when bids were sought for making the
famous clock at Westminster, one Of the re-
quirements was that it should not vary
more than one second per day. The best
clock-makers Of that period said that such a
clock could not be made. But to-day no
clock that would vary more than one second
per week would be accepted in work de-
manding scientific accuracy. Here is a
good clock, the large one standing against
the wall. Big and clumsy as its machinery
may seem, it is one Of the best in the house
There is another on the shelf that you can
almost put in your vest pocket, q very good
little clock for all ordinary purposes, and q
nice ornament, but without the steady &C
curacy Of the more ponderous one.
at would be very difficult matter to de-
termine what is most important in making
a clock. Nothing is unimportant. Every
wheel must be exact. But perhaps that
which has puzzled men most Is the escape
ment-that is, the point where the rotary
motion Of the train becomes the vibratory
motion Of the pendulum. Various devices
to regulate this conversion have been in
vented, but only one remains in common
use, and that fact shows that 1t is the best.
1t is called the dead escapement. Here the
pendulum tooth is received upon the pallet,
as it is termed, and remains there until the
return Of the Dendulum allows it to be re-
leased. There is a continuance by which
clocks will wind themselves by the expan-
sion and contraction Of some fluid, usually
Then there is a windmill clock
and water clock Ali Of these, however,

The Language of Birds and Other Animal,
Curious Literature.

Inc Language OF Blrus anu Other Animals
Curious Literature.
The best known of animal tongues ere, of
course, the most perfect among them those
of birds. 1t would be long list were we
to mention but half of the curious literature
that of old and OF late has been written on
this subject. Pallas Athene herself gave
the knowledge Of the language of birds to
Tiresias, to console him for the loss of his
eyes. Helenus, of Troy, Thales and Melsm-
pus claimed to possess it. Solomon, who
had wisdom exceeding much, and spake of
beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things,
and Of fishes, is reported to have under
stood the meaning of every birds song.
PiiLy even gives, in his Natural History, an
unfailing receipt for the obtaining of such
wonderful knowledge; and King Dag, who
was master Of the science, kept sparrows
which brought him the news of the world
from every country on earth. Gerbert, of
Seville, the great Christian master of the
black art, learned to explain the flight and
notes of birds, and Benedict TX, who rose
to the holy see at the early age Of twelve
years, knew their voice, and could tell
from it what had happened to-day, yester-
day, and the day before, anywhere through
the wide range of Christendom. 1t is not

language and issued proposals for diction-

Facts which the Unreconstructsd Rebels
Seem to Have Forgotten.


There was singular want of logic

did not warrant the least Qualification

he did not believe in the rebellion.
strictly speaking. He is on record even
as late as January 25, 1861, against that
method of adjusting the difficulty be-
tween the North and the South. The
trainers Of our constitution" he wrote
to his son, would not have exhausted
so much labor, wisdom and forbearaace,
and surrounded it with so many guards
and securities, IL it was intended to be
broken by any member of the Union as
will 1t was intended for perpetual
union, so expressed in the preamble,
and for the establishment of a govern.
ment, not a compact" Those were his
honest views. He was opposed to SCI
cession and the policy of bloodshed
which JEFF Davis and others favored
Within a month of the attack on Fort
Sumter he accepted promotion in the
United States army, and General Scott
had the utmost confidence in his 10y

that he resigned his commissioner

State. right or wrong.
The fact is indisputable that when he
drew his sword against the Governments
which had educated, trusted and
honored him, he was actuated solely by
a sense of obligation to Virginia, re-
CARELESS of his own feeling as to the
main question involved. That is to
say, he was not at heart a secessionist-
He went into the war under protest, and
never at any time expressed his ap-
prevail of the undertaking, either in
point of principle or as a matter of ex-
pediency. There is nothing to show
that he changed his views in any es-
sential particular when he consented to
participate in the rebellion. The tech
nical idea of supreme duty to his State
was the one that controlled him and
caused him to take a step which was
contrary alike to his judgment and his
preference. He went to fight for Viz
ginia, and his service was mainly con-
fined to her territory. But for this
one fatal notion of State allegiance, he
would have remained in the Federal
army. as those other Virginians,
Thomas and Farragut, did; and his fame
would to-day be a Northern instead of
Southern possession. 1t is a per-
version of reason and a violation Of
truth to use his name as a representa-
tive one in connection with the doc
trine Of secession. He fought on the
side of the Confederscy, and did every
thing in his power to give victory 20
the armies that he commanded; but.
from first to last, there was a mental
reservation on his part concerning the
original issue. History will give him
the benefit of this fact He was not q
secessionist in the exact meaning of the
term; and when secession as such is
celebrated, he should not be presented
as one of its champions.-St. Louis

PASS IT AT ONCE.
A Duty which Republican Senators owe
".. to Their Party.

n DUTY "nlcn hepuDiIcan y enatOrs owe
r. to Their Party.
The Republican party in Congress,
with only one bolter, Louisiana sugar
planter, has passed the tariff revision
bill The promises of the party and
good faith with the people require that
the Senate shall give the bill immedi-
ate consideration and hasten its pass
age. There will be differences between
the two houses, but they can not be so
serious as to jeopardize or materially
delay tariff revision.
II is misfortune that politics enters
so largely into the consideration of this
matter, affecting as it does simply the
material welfare of our people. The
result of the protracted tariff discussion
in 1888 and the determination of the
Democratic party to pass a f-ee-trade
measure were disastrous to business in
terests. The wooden industry and other
branches of business have not yet recov-
cred from the shock, and complete re-
coyery can not be expected so long as the
revision of the tariff is left unsettled.
The Mckinley bill as passed by the
House may not be perfect; it may not
satisfy all interests; but it Is strong
protection measure, and in the main
meets public expectation and public ap-
prevail To bubble over details, to
waste, as did the Congress of 1855,
several months Of precious time in dis
cussing all the various and multiplied
questions regarding minor matters, will
only result now, as it did then, in
further unsettling business interests
and stsgnating trade.
Let the Senate hasten the passage
either of the Mckinley or Senate tariff
bill, and submit the matter to confer
ence committee to speedily perfect an
agreement Then let the President
sign the bill, and, for two years at least,
settle the tariff question. We are con-
WINGED that the moment this work is
finished, that moment business will feel

porters and manufacturers will know
where they stand, and wholesale and re-
tail merchants will feel at liberty to re-
plenish their stocks without further fear
OF tariff changes
We have said that it is a case for re-
gret that political considerations have
entered so largely into the discussion of
the tariff question The course of the
Democratic minority in at one time
voting solidly TO protect sugar and at
another time to make wool free, and
their cowardice in refusing to vote at
all upon the proposal to restore works
of art to the free list, demonstrated that
their course has not been consistent,
nor animated by consideration for the
welfare of the people. Purely partisan
impulses have prevailed 1t is to the
lasting credit of the Republican party
that it has had the courage of its con-
victions, and has passed tariff bill that
is recognized as the legitimate, fair, and
conspicuous outgrowth Of protective
policy. The measure. or something very
nearly approaching it, will surely be-
come law. and we shall with confidence
await the verdict of patriotic people,

Have You Heard from oregon.

The election in Oregon meant a good
deal. 1t was the most important STATE
election SO far this year. Oregon was a
doubtful State, although generally Re-
publican. The Democrats had been
making a special assault on the protec-
ton doctrine, taking as a text the pro-
posed duty on tin plate, which they
said would hamper the trade in canned
salmon, one of Oregon's principal in
dustries, and also the failure of the Nc
Kinley bill to take hides from the free
list which it was claimed would hurt
Oregon. A Democratic victory, espec-
tally in the matter of elec.ing Con-
gresham, would have been a pretty
good indication that the Democrats had
the better of the argument. What hap
pened was this: The plurality Of Gov
ernor Pennoyer, Democrat, was reduced
from 8, TOE to LOCO, and Representative
Binger Hermann, Republican, was re-
elected by plurality of 5000, compared
with 1,635 in 1886 and Z,407 in 1888. The
Legislature remains Republican by .
