THE CLOCK on MONTE PIxcIo.

TO minutely inspect it. a general view and
description of this curious and artistic
piece of mechanism is given, as follows, by
The Theological Review:
The very charming case is composed of
three branches in rustic work 1t stands
upon square stone block, surrounded on
its four sides by beautiful leaf plants, ivy
and grasses. The stone foot stands within
water basin. The upper part of the case
contains dial covered with glass on each
of its four sides. Upon the cupola stands
a staff which carries the two bells for the
full hour and quarters. At its upper end
Is a small vane in the shape of battle AK
The frame for the wheel and levers Of
the striking work, in which a small ceutrif
ugal pendulum takes the place of the fly,
is close underneath the dial. At the back
of the clock frame oscillates the second
pendulum, and before this is located a
mass of rustic work, similar to large coral
growth, from which issue small Jets of
water at regular intervals. Two of the
uppermost coral branches are water con-
duit pipes, from which empties alternately,
at each swing of the pendulum, a small
quantity of water into two leaflike spoons
underneath, imparting to them an up
and down motion. The peculiar motive
power furnished by the water keeps the
clock IN motion, by very remarkable es-
capement, so that it never requires wind
ing. The construction OF the clock is due
to a monk, as is the case with so many old
pieces of art work.

THE ST. Paul Pioneer Press is a repub-
lican paper in good standing, the leading
republican paper Of the northwest. but
the peculisrities of the Niedringhaus
plan of Amerieanizing Welsh tin-plste
under Mckinley taxes are too much for
its psrtisanshlp, says the st. Louis Re-
public. 1t repudistes it. 1T is good
deal easier. it says, ito overlook some
things than others in the heat Of debate
Some of the particular admirers of the
tin-plate feature OF the Mckinley bill
claim that its opponents are trying to
make capital out of the fact that 81.
Louis man bought vast amount of the
Welsh tin-plate and made money on the
advance. What they overlook is the
fact that the mans name is Niedringhsus,
that he was member of congress, that
he voted for the Mckinley bill, and then
forthwith bought the Tin"
Here the Pioneer Press stops. 1t has
gone far into the merits of the case, but
it might have gone farther. One of the
essential points it brings out when il
shows Mr.. Niedrinehaus laying in his
huge stock of Welsh in-plate immediate
ly after having voted for tax against its
importation and Immediately before this
tax went into effect.
But still more important point is thai
this Welsh plate is now as thoroughly
Americsnized as Mr.. Niedringhsus is him
self. 1t has good and patriotic stuff in
it, and is so deserving by virtue of it:
naturalization that it is protected against
foreign competition by a duty of 2.z
cents a pound. Mr.. Niedringhsus can
make Americanized campaign tin cups
out of it, and no outside Welshmsn car
compete with it. If he tries he will be
fined % cents on every pound of tin
plate he brings in here to be manufactured
This is because it is unpatriotic and un-
American to use tin-plate that has moi
been nsturaliZed and Americanized BY
the Nie2ringhsus method.

1t Was Embarrassing at First Until he

As means of going through life
pleasantly the virtues of gentle, quiet
disposition have been praised by nearly
all ages. To stand mistaken amid the
shock of systems and the clash of worlds
is regarded as one of the most valuable
attri butes of the real hero and the genu-
inc philosopher. Possibly in the greater
crises of existence the truth of this prop.
osition will pass unchallenged. That it
is entirely beyond criticism in some of
those that may be considered as of less
Importance remains question.
Sanftherz was a student at one of our
leading colleges and boarded during the
term and in the vacation with widow
to whom he had been recommended on
his first arrival. He was the only board
er, and his landlady and her daughter,
who did the general homework, looked
upon him as the center and paragon of
all the virtues. In fact it was subject
of comment between mother and daugh-
ter that they would take his weekly pay
with better heart if Sanftherz only gave
them little more trouble.
Such being his disposition, it was a
matter of some surprise when he came
to the top of the landing one morning
and called softly down the stairs:
Mrs. Bengel: Miss Mary, please:''
The latter heard his voice, and going
up in fiutter of establishment saw him
standing at his room door.
I'm very sorry for troubling you, Miss
Mary, but won't you kindly bring me a
glass of water"
"Of course, Mr. Sanftherz, with the
greatest pleasure"
Down she went and returned with the
desired liquid.
Thanks" Thereupon he retired to
his chamber, but scarcely had the girl
reached the lower floor when he again
called her and requested, with a con-
fused blush at the inconvenience he was
causing, that she bring him another
glass Of water.
This was likewise brought up and the
previous thanksgiving was repeated. On
this occasion, however, she had hardly
moved from the spot 7wslen he once
more came out and repeated his former
request.
All wonderment, she once more filed
the glass, but as he instantly reappeared
after taking it into his room aGd begged

New YORK World: Gov. Campbell's
administration has been an honor TO the
state and credit to himself and the par.
ty that elected him. Moreover, it has
been an essentially democratic Admins
tration. 1t has given to Ohio the secret
ballot and to the larger cities of the state
home rule. Whatever opposition to
Gov. Campbell exists in his own party
arises from local and personal causes
from matters in which the national dem
ocracy has no interest. The coming Ohio
election however, is OF national import
ance, and the citizen of that state who
permits petty and provincial causes to
imperil Gov. Csmpbell's chances does not
deserve the name of democrat.

SECTION OF THE GREAT PYRAMID.

VERTICAL SECTION OF THE GREAT PYRAMID.
an observer standing in the chamber \,
about $500 B. c., and looking through the
passage \ G would see at the end the pole
star, or rather the star Alpha Draconis,
which was the pole star at that time, but
which, owing to the procession of the
equinoXes, has since been replaced by our
present pole star, Alpha Crsa MINORS
The construction of this passage gives an
approximate date for the erection of the
pyramids which agrees with that estab-
hshed by the best authenticated tradi
tons.
p P represents a supposed platform of
observation; K, queens chamber. *, kings
chamber; q, natural grotto in the rock.
z z, accumulated debris, a, subterraneau
chamber; D E, grand gallery. Branching
of from the descending passage C A is an
ascending passage, B D, leading TO the
grand gallery, D E, which in turn leads to
what is generally known as the kings
chamber.
A new theory advanced by F. de Bal
lore in La Nature is that the pyramid was
only completed during the lifetime of the
reigning monarch as far as the fftieth
course of stones, thus forming a platform
of observation upon which astrologers
emily bodies and cast the horoscopes de-
manded by the king. After his death the
platform was completed into pyramid,
and the observatory of the monarch be-
came his tomb and monument.

Two Novel Notifications of SULPHUR.

According to Industries two novel modi-
fcations of sulphur have been recently
discovered by Engel. The first, like that
proved to exist in Wackenroder's solution,
is soluble in water and very unstable.
The other is crystalline, soluble in carbon
bisulphide and chloroform, and polymer-
ICES slowly in the cold and quickly at a
temperature of 100 dogs. c.; but, unlike
prismatic sulphur, which changes on keep
ing into the octahedral variety, it becomes
converted into the white insoluble form
which commonly constitutes SO large
percentage of the material known as 'flow-
ers of sulphur"

A French scientist has lately intro
duced n process for the engraving of de-
signs on wood, leather or similar ma
terials by means of a pencil or tool, the
point of which is constantly at red heat.
After a series of experiments with hot
irons ard platinum wire heated by cleo
tricity, n special tool was finally devised
by the inventor OF this process. which
renders the operation extremely simple.
The tool in question is another applica-
ton of the cautery instrument used by
surgeons. The pencil has a wooden han
die upon which is mounted a small plat
mum tube with n fine point. Two sepa-
rate receptacles communicate with the
tool by means of a rubber tube; one of
these contains a h~ydro-carbon, such "a
alcohol, benzine or wood spirit, and the
other contains compressed air.
A constant flow of the hydro-carbon
vapor is maintained at the point OF the
tool, which is thereby kept in a state of
intense heat. Both receptacles are pro-
vided with regulating apparatus, by
which the supply Of ink can be adjusted
or cut off, as desired. The operation of
tracing designs on wood work and leather
is thus simpliied to the utmost possible
extent. A tracing of the design is made
on the article to be ornamented, and any
degree of relief is instantly effected, very
little skill on the part of the operator
being required. The new process will be
of the greatest service to bookbinders.
