what i. the principle of the electric clock

C.F.S.
1t is very simple. A standard electric
regulator is placed in the hall OF private
house or in the chief Offices Of works This
regulator works by It's own action for, say,
59H seconds, when electric contact is made
and magnetic pull is exerted, and during
the remaining half second required to COM
plete the round of the minute wheel an in
genious contact arrangement lifts small
ball and mouentarily breaks the circuit, so
that the wheel becomes free again. Then
by the aid and momentum of the pendulum
the motion is continued, and the automatic
electric action goes on perpetually day after
day, year after year, for one, three or five
years, according to the battery power
supplied. The regulators are made to
regulate 10. 20 or 30 secondary clocks con-
nected in series These clocks can, of
course, be fitted in various parts of the
house, buildings, works or railway stations,
as the case may be, and can thus be success
fully driven by four to six volts of inter-
mittent current within a radius of two or
three miles The secondary clocks, being
in sympathetic action with the main circuit
clock, are electrically regulated every min
ute, and it is claimed that by new method
of regulation no clock can deviate from an
other of the same series for more than one
second on any conditions whatever The
municipality of Vienna has 600 clocks, reg
ulated from four main centers, so that
standard time is assured in all parts of the
city. The progress OF the new system OF
horology bids lair to make it one of the i'm
portant inventions of the age.

THIS point, as IL prevents all MISUNDERSTANDING
ings. There are many amateurs, so-called,
who are every bit as much professional as

In another week or two the local Rugby

FAST Time Among th. Trotters.
The trotting world is still discussing the
wonderful feat of Nancy Hanks in trotting
the mile in 2:07H. Although there have
been many attempts to detract from the
greatness of the performance, the record is
admitted as a fair and honorable one, and
nobody has accepted it more generously
than Mr.. Bonner, the owner of Maud and
Sunol.
Mr. Bonner very wisely points out that
horse must beat 2:07N to get the mile rec
ord, and that sums up the whole question.
If a pLeumatic-tired sulkey is better
to go with than any other; then by all
means let the new kind of sulkev be used.
but do not let us retsrd the speed of horse
by ignoring improvements
OF course, there is probability of the
mark of Nancy Hanks being equaled or
lowered before winter comes. Both Mr..
Marvin and Mr.. Bonner state thai
Sunol will make an effort to redeem her
laureIs, and Nancy Hanks will try to do
better than she has already done.
But at every prominent trotting meeting
this season the last time made in races has
been wonderful and this under old regula-
tion conditions. Trotters and PAGERS alike
are in large numbers getting away below
the 2:15 mark; in fact, that mark is, now no
more thought of than 2:20 used to be only a
very short time ago. This must mean that
the quality of the American trotter is get
ting better as well as the quantity getting
larger.
