A Remarkable Watch.

A musical watch about the size Of
m egg is now exhibited in st. Peters,
burg which performs a religious chant
with scenic accompaniments. Within
is u representation of Christ with the
Roman s%entinels. On pressing a spring
the stone rolls from the tomb, the SEN
tinels fall down, the angels appear
and the holy women enter the sepul-
cher, and the same chant which is
sung in the Greek church on Easter
eve is actually performed. The watch
was made by an ingenious Russian
peasant during the reign of Catherine
of Russia.

Commerce aud the Now Tarin.

4 Novel Idea.

The expense of a funeral in large
city has grown to such proportions that
the average man, according to face
tious contemporary, commits more ex-
travagance in the act of dying than he
ever did during life. It has been sug-
gested that much less costly form Of
gravestone than that usually erected
would meet all the requirements Of af-
fectionate remembrance and respect,
and the suggestion has been carried
into effect in the patenting of ga grave
marker" This is simply memorial
leaf It consists of two outer plates
bent so as to form holder for leaves
or tablets, adapted to be suspended
from a frame to receive and retain OBJ
jects desired to be kept as mementoes
of the deceased. The tablets beneath
the outer plates can be designed in
any desired form, and as they have
sides of mica or transparent material to
protect the tokens, any object, such as
photographs, sketches, etc, can be in
serted. For instance, a sketch of the
life of the departed or lock of hair
can be placed in the receptacle, where
it is securely protected from the wealth.

The Business Standard.

Society at large is in doubt as to
where a mans character and motives
are put to the severest test, but if a
business man is questioned on the sub
ject he will say about anyone, whether
stranger or acquaintance, pauper Or
millionaire: 'Let me see him in bust
ness and will know what to think of
him"
1t seems like selfish answer, writes
John Habberton in the Chautauquan,
but it is not. Business is neither
religious, sentimental, nor philan-
thropic, and yet when the true
character of a man is to be ascertained
there is no quicker or surer way Of
doing it than to consult his business
acquaintance. If the man is not smart
they may pity him; if unfortunate,
they will sy1npathize with him, for in
the battle of life the successful man
gets enough hard knocks to be able to
understand why some less able man is
knocked over. Regarding personal
honesty, however, and the respect
which man really has for the rights
and property of his fellows, business
life is standard of comparison which
seldom fails.

The worlds Fair openins.

When dawn breaks over Lake Michi-
gan the morning Of October 81 it will
herald the coming of q proud day in the
history Of Chicago. Perhaps it will be
the proudest. for then will be dedicated
the great worlds fair buildings which
have stirred the admiration of men of
two henispheres. 1t will be the natal
day of the enterprise in which every
nation on earth will participate, and
for which SIG, 1900, 900 viii have been ex-
pended. Then Chief of Construction
Burnham will turn over the completed
work for dedication By the president Of
the United States. The near approach
of this time is. beginning to awaken in
terest throughout the country. Work
on buildings is being rushed in order to
have them ready, and the hundreds of
thousands of visitors who crowd into
jackson park that day will witness a
grand spectacle-a city of marble pal
aces.
Great preparation has been made for
these dedicatory ceremonies. 1t has
been the work of many months of citi-
zens of Chicago and representatives of
the national worlds fair commission.
The plans are almost completed and a
festival of three days is the result.
The celebration will be national and
international, for the congress of the
United States has so designated it, and
all the nations of the earth will par
ticipate No such gathering of dis
tinguished people as will meet here has
probably ever assembled before in this
country.
Twenty thousand invitations have
been issued for the occasion, and ac-
ceptances are almost unanimous. The
first to accept was President Harrison;
then followed members of the supreme
court, senators, congressman and gov
errors of the states. All these have
said they will be here, and from Wash
ington will come the representatives of
every foreign country.
Aside from the international interests
in this fitting prelude to the magnifi-
cent picture of the worlds progress
that will be presented in 1898 the dedi-
catory services will furnish an oppor-
tunity to behold the extent of the prep
arations which are being made for the
exposition.

THE fash-light for signals on Mount
Washington has been pronounced a
success. Signals have been read dis
tinctly at Portland, a distance by air
line of eighty-fve miles, and the mes
sages were proved BY Geographic COM
munication. The needle-Ike beams
were not flashed directly to Portland,
but into the air above that city to avoid
low-lying clouds. The Portland oper-
ator estimates that the light which he
read easily was eighty miles above him,
and that the length of the flash from
Mount Washington to the point in the
sky where he read it was one hundred
and ten miles. The success of the ex-
pertinent is expected to revolutionize
the system Of signaling. Under other
experiments recently made common
print was read by the light at North
Conway and a letter at Littleton. These
places are respectively twenty and
twenty-five miles distant from the sta
ton on the mountain.

THE old Colorado potato beetle has

smaller insect, popularity known as the
flea beetle, has appeared in such num-

the potato vines, leaving nothing for
the former depredators. This insect
has been known to entonologists for
years, but till recently it has generally
fed on weeds growing in the woods.
Two or three years ago it began to at.
tack garden vegetables, aud this season
it has taken possession of potato fields.
The insects multiply very rapidly, pro
ducing a new brood every month.
