was made at Amsterdam in 1850 by

mechanism. II stands twelve feet
high. The case is of birds eye black

golden statuettes. The central figure
represents Atlas bending beneath the

right and left figures are counterparts
of Gabriel in the act Of blowing his
trumpet. When wound the clock runs

well as the hour. and strikes every

Facts About Olives.

Do you eat olives.
This is a question which is being
asked constantly in high society, and
which every person must answer once

question of vital importance. The
new generation, with their appetizers,

olive and the iron tonic: they ac-

were young and have kept up the ac-

Olive oil is not made from olives

this sort sold in this country, but it is

A Whistiing Tree.

The musical or wliStling tree is
found in the West Indian islands, in
Nubia and the Soudan. II has a pc
cuiiar shaped leaf, and pods with a
split or open edge. The wind passing
through these gives ont the sound
which gives the tree its peculiar name.
In Barbados there is a valley filled
with these trees, and when the trade
winds blow across the island a con
slant moaning. deep toned whistle is
heard from it. which, in the still hours
of the night, has a very weird and UNI
pleasant effect
\ species Of acacia, which grows
very abundantly in the Soudan, is
also called the "whistling tree" by the
natives. It's shoots are frequently, by
the agency Of the larvae of insects,
distorted in shape and swollen into q
globular bladder, from one 10 two
inches in diameter. After the insect
has emerged from a circular hole in

played upon by the wind, becomes a
musical instrument, equal in sound to
a sweet toned ilute.-St. Louis Repub-

Wonders Of the Sea.

a box six feet deep were filled with sea
water and allowed TO evaporatc, there
would be two inches Of salt left on the
bottom Of the box. Taking the aver.
age depth Of the oceans Of the world
TO be three miles, there would be a
layer Of salt 230 feet thick over She en-
tire bed should the water evaporate.
The water Of the ocean is colder ut the
bottom than at the surface. In many
places, especially in the bays on the
coast Of Norway, the water freezes at
the bottom before il does above.
Waves are very deceptive. To look
at them in a storm one would think
the whole water travelled. The water
stays in the same place, but the mo
ton goes on. Sometimes in storms
these waves are forty feet high, and
travel fifty miles per hour-nearly
twice as fast as the ~fleetest steamship.

whose pulpit jokes are the only re-

Michel Menot, reproving the ladies
for being late at church, told them
that it would take less time TO cleanse
the Augean stables than TO stick in all
a womun's pins. The story is told Of
Rowland Hill that he once began a
sermon with the words, Look at my
wife there, with a chest Of drawers ON
her head" The congregation stared
at the poor lady thus pointed out, but
only perceived that she wore a new
bonnet. She has sold a chest OF
drawers and bought a e bonnet
