Rurdl Press: For the last SIX mont his
the Southern Pacific railroad company mas
been concentrating all of its broken-down,
WORKOUT, supsrannuated engines at the
yards in West Oakland. There were en-.
gines of all sorts and conditions, of every
make and of various degrees of beauty.
Some looked as though they were as good
as any that now make regular trips. Others
were ramshackled, rusty looking affairs
that seemed to have come from the bottom
of the sea. In all nearly 100 were got ten
together and placed on various sidetracks
in the yards wherever there was room and
where they would be out of the way.
Every one was absolutely worthless so far
as the purpose for which they were origin.
ally built was concerned. One day last
week gang of men went to work on the
old engines and blew them up, one by one,
with dynamite, in order toget the old iron
and brass in saieable shape.

In this version of the case, also, the belief

thought possible that Alexander might

trespassed upon his place or not could not
be learned. 1t is reported that they had

\ Clock Run by a Geyser.

The most curious and unique clock
in the United States, or in the world
for that matter, was constructed by
Amos Lane, of Amedee, during the
past summer. Lanes curious clock
which, by the way, is all face, hands
and lever, is attached to a geyser
which shoots upward an immense
column of hot water every thirty
eight seconds exactly. This spouting
eve varies the tenth of a second in
its time; therefore a clock properly
harnessed TO it cannot do otherwise
than keep correct time. The lever
mentioned above in connection with
the hands and face of the clock is SO
placed as to be fairly bit by the shoot
ing column of water, and every time
the lever is truck it moves the hands
forward exactly thirty-eight seconds.
Lanes only trouble was to properly
divide these 3S-secOnd strokes into
hours. During the time he was
employed in constructing his novelty
it is said that he often quietly wished
that old Dame Nature had geared
this particular geyser so as to spout
every half minute exactly.

History Of a Word.

The way in which the name "bu-
reau' became applied to articles of
furniture intended for literary pur-
poses is rather curious. 1t was the
in the days when writing was
done on parchment and when book
binding was an expensive luxury, for
those who were connected with liter
airy pursuits to have on their tables a
piece of cloth of a thick nature to pre-
yent the bookbinding receiving any
injury. This piece of textile fabric,
originally of wool, bore in France the
name of bureau, and in course of time
that name has attached itself to arti-
cles of furniture which have a space
protected by some material for writ
ing operations.-PsHsbarg Dispatch.
