CLocK FOR EIFFEL TOWER.

Hands Eleven Yards LOng--A Pendulum
Requiring Twenty-four Seconds to vi
brate.
A Paris correspondent writes EVERY
EVENING: The Eiffel Tower is quite an
arsenal of scientific apparatus for physi-
cal, magnetic and meteorological exper-
iments. In the hurricane Of the night
1924 current, the horizontal velocity of
the wind on the summit of the tower
800 yards-was 80 yards per second. If
that velocity traversed region on a
level with the tops of the houses, not
roof, but would heve been stripped,
not chimney pot but would have been
blown down. Later the wind took an
upward course at the rate of three-quar-
tiers ola mile an hour. Why not, it is asked,
have "wag on the wall' clock on the
tower, by utilizing the pendulum wire
plummet now suspended from the
second platform, intended to test the
perpendicularity of the structure and
later to rehearse the Lion Foncault ex-
pertinent of the diurnal rotation of the
earth, under more gigantic conditions
The Colin firm is prepared to "build"
the clock; the dial would be 90 metres
in diameter; the distance consequently
between each minute space on the dial,
would be one metre; the hands would
be nearly II yards long. The swing to
and fro of the pendulum would take "a
seconds. A parachute will be provided to
catch the pendulum should II fall, which
ii did with Foucault

A few weeks ago the editor of a
country weekly not a thousand miles
from Chicago was suddenly called out
of town upon business which would re-
quire his attention for several days. 1t
was the day before the usual publica-
ton day, and matters were in pretty
good shape to leave. Calling the "deyil'
into his sanctum the editor said: "Jim
I'm obliged to leave YOU alone to-mor-
row; don't you think you can get out
the paper? Everything is in type. If
the advertising takes as much space as
/ have planned, all you will have to do
is to lock up the forms and go to press"
"But what shall | do if the adyer-
Using falls short?" queried Jim, du-
biously.
alt isn't going to fall short, but if it
should there's that long editorial of
mine on tho tariff which we printed last
week. That hasn't been distributed yet.
Print il again. and and add u line to ii
saying that it is republished by request"
Four DAYS later tho editor returned
He found Jim iubilant, event OF Ike

wasn't hitch anywhere. Had TO use
your editorial again, though, To fill up.
just labeled ii rs You told M" and
dropped it right back into the editorial
columns where it was last week. See:''
Here the enthusiastic young man showed
his chief an editorial page bearing the
tariff chestnut us a leader. To it were
added the rather startling words: Ito
published by request of the editor"
And the "devil" is still wondering

McKinley-I can't understand how it
happened yet. Did we have too much
steam on, think?
Reed-P'r'aps. wasn't noticin' the
pressure so much. | wanted TO put her
through--and, say! she was hummin,'
wasn't she?
Harrison-I thought she was going
too fast, all the time,
Reed-Then why didn't you say
somethin', Benny, and not be settin'
there clappin' your hands as though you
liked it.
Harrison-What Me say somethingg
McKinley-Did you notice that we
were goin' too fast, Aldrich?
Aldrich-No. told Tom as long as
he could count the telegraph poles we'd
be all right; but Christmas ! didn't
know he could count so like the devil.
Reed-Poke up that fire little, Mack.
It's cold as Greenland's icy mountains
here.
McKinley-I amt monkeyin' with the
fire any more, thank you kindly. What's
that placard over your head, Aldrich?
Aldrich-It's something about freight
tariffs.
McKinley-Pull it down thought

| Reed can't help thinkin' how we
was whizzin'. When we passed.
McKinley-Stop, Tom Don'tremind
us of what we passed. If we'd a just
4 passed nothin', we'd be better off to-day.
/ Gewhillkens wish we was out O. this.
I'm hungry.
Harrison-Did Mr.. Quay lose any
thing in the smash, Mr.. Reed?
Reed-All he had, Benny, which amt
sayin' much; but why DON'T you ask him
about it? There he sets.
Harrison-There isn't any use. I've
asked him lots of things, but he doesn't
say word.
Aldrch-Did you lose anything,
Benny
Harrison-No; Ididn't have anything
but my hat.
McKinley-Well, we'd better talk
over some plan for getting our train
back on the track

CHRISTMAS WITH MT OLD MOTHER.
Lu IL. Cake.

OH never felt so happy as upon last
Christmas night,
Coming. near the little home where
mother lives,
The familiar scenes of boyhood, and the
window with the light,
And the joy anticipation ever gives.
Eager fingers tingledgladly as opened the
old gate,
And my feet impatient, hurried to the
door;
But her ear had caught my footsteps, and
her love remembered well;
On the threshold mother met me as of
yore.
Oh ! / clasped her TO my bosom, as she
used to clasp her boy,
While her tears and loving kisses an
swered mine.
Then she led me to the table, where the
good things kept for me
Were all waiting with the chair of auld
lang syne.
She remembered ev'rything / liked, and
how to make it best,
Serving me ms though my place were still
child's;
Cakes and iellies, homemade candy, and
ev'ry choicest thing,
Heaped before me with Caresses and her
smiles
oh seemed very boy again, as we sat
talking there.
And she told how she had thought of,
prayed for me;
How I'd been n joy and comfort to her all
her widowed life;
And her spirit, like an angels, could
see
How in ev'ry whistling boy that passed
she heard me coming home,
So she had love-waited for me all the
years;
Then, arising from the table, she would
stand caressing me,
Asshe breathed on ME a blessing through
her tears.
When went to bed she came to me ard
tucked the covers round,
In the dear old way that only mothers
know.
Oh! felt so blissful, peaceful, and so full
OF tender love
That all silent came my glad hearts
overflow.
Happy, grateful, joyful tears | shed; ay,
cried myself to sleep
Dreaming in Il heavily dream-land Tree
from cares;
In my boyhood home and bed again, the

Safely guarded by my dear old mothers

Easy Enough When You Know How--A
Calcutta MYsIerY.

"These things are really very easy, :"
said a iuggler TO a New York Times re-
porter. "Practce alone makes them
perfect always juggle with common
things of everyday use, because then the
people 90 home and try to do it them
selves. In this way they realize how
very difficult an apparently easy trick
really is. When You make your first
attempt use small brass balls, and start
them with your left hand. This is be-
cause the left hand is naturally the
clumsier of the two, and it takes longer
practice to make it perfect. When you
learn to keep two or three balls in the
air at once, try knives. Now, this is the
way keep the knives going. If have,
say ten, throw one with just sufficient
force to give it half turn; the next one
turns completely over, the third takes a
turn and Il half, the fourth two turns,
the fifth two and half, and so on. It's

"The most remarkable onjurlng trick

the wall, and, turning to member Of
the party, lie asked for the loan Of a
rupee, which he requested should he
given to pneo the ladies present This
done, the coniUrcr told the lady to hand
it back to the gentleman from whom
she had taken IT, The gentleman took
it, and then the coniurcr said to him
Arc you sure that is rupery'
eyes replied the gentleman.
"'Now close your hand upon it, said
the Arabian, and think without speaking
Of some country in America. Now
open yenr hand and tell me- if the coin
Is not one Of the country you thought
o.. The gentleman opened his hand
and found Mexican dollar. He said
that lie had been thinking Of Mexico.
"llc was about to give the coin 10 the
coniurer, when the latter declined it, re,
qucsting him ~ 1--WE it to another one Of
the party. lie ave it to mt. looked
at tit closely, shutmy hand tight, thought
Of France, and found ii had turned into
u tive-franc piece,
slow doyou suppose that was done?
said the iuggler 70 the reporter.

sadly.
