A German Clock.

Mr.. Thomas D. Bullinger, of Govans-
town, is the owner of an antique piece
Of mechanism. 1t is the result of years
of labor of an old clockmaker of Nurem-
berg, Germany. 1t is clock with a
framework of walnut, and stands II
feet high. At the top it is 31s feet
across, but tapers until at the center it
is about 2 feet wide. 1t rests on ped
estal, which is the same width as at the
top of the clock. The dial is 10 inches
in diameter, of white enamel and black
figures. In the dial is set handsome
oil painting of David performing on a
harp and a pretty woman, with bowed
head, listening attentively to the music.
When the clock strikes the hour two
beautiful German airs are heard in sue
cession, and on a platform above the
dial twelve small figures of men and wo-
men, about 5 inches high, dance in
couples. Musicians are seated in the
rear of the figures performing on the
cornet, drum and clarionet A clown
appears clapping his hands and moving
his mouth. A figure appears on either
side of the platform and makes polite
bow. The clock plays twenty-four diff
ferent German tunes. The musical
weight is of lead, and weighs 1875
pounds. Over 130 various pipes are
needed to play the tunes. The entire
clock weighs nearly 600 pounds.
The machinery is extremely compli-
Gated. The clock is over 100 years old.

The world for 1899.

"The most energetic, resolaite and relentless
journal in America When ID sets out TO accomplish
humanity, comprehension and persistence."-
GAIL HAMILTON.
We can tell our Republican readers a secret
and our Democratic friends piece OF good
news:
The World intends to and will elect another
Democratic president this year, as 1t elected
Grover Cleveland in 1884.
Whether the Democratic candidate shall be
Grover Cleveland, representing the cause of
tariff reform, or any one of a number OF other
Democratic leaders who can be elected, repre-
senting all the elements of opposition to Re-
publicanism, The World will be foremost in
his support The neat president must be Demo
crdt.
But while doing this The World will give to
its Republican readers, as 1t did in the recent
campaign, fuller and better report OF Repub-
lican meetings and speeches in the presiden-
tial canvass than the organs of their own party
print. The World neUer colors its netcs; 1t pho
t0grdphs eUents.
over 330, 900 copies day. 1t has made a net
average gain of 1000 day during the past
year: 1t will circulate next year, on the basis
of this increase only. at least 12O 900 900
copies OF the ablest, strongest aud best Demo
cratic newspaper ever printed.
The World is recognized as distinctively the
newspaper of the people. 1t believes that to
be the highest journa ism which is dedicated
to the public vice.
The World puts heart and conscience into
its work as we'll as brains, 1t is the handmade
of justice, the unraveller of mysteries the de-
tector and the terror of crime, the friend of the
friendless, the help of the poor, the strength of
the weak. Realizing that its power comes
from the people, it gives back to them freely
whatever service its influence and resources
enable it to render.
With perfect equipment, thorough organ
ization, capable direction and deep deter
mination to move on and up to higher ideals
and greater achievements, The World wishes
its multitude of readers Happy New Year,
and confidently bids them to expect from it
during 1892 even more wonderful things than
it has already accomplished.

TOO FOND OF HIMSELF.
So Much Interested in the Fair Passen-
ger That He Paid Double.

So Much Interested In the Fair Passen-
ger That He Paid Double.
A pretty young woman, dressed in the
height of fashion, got into one of the
Fifth avenue ..busses" the other day to
drive up to Central park. Some of these
buses still run on the old "bobtail" svs-
tenn. that is, they have no conductors to
collect the fare, and passengers must
themselves drop their nickels into a box
at the end of the conveyance. The
driver is supplied with a quantity of
small coin to make change for passen-
gers who have not the exact fare. AS
this handsome young woman took out
her purse, several men bent forward ex-
pectantly for the privilege of passing
her coin up to the box for her. Ignoring
their readiness, she made her way up to
the box herself and dropped dime in
to it.
Then she waited for her change. No
change came, however. She looked at
the box anxiously, evidently thinking
that perhaps she needed to pull out a
handle or press button somewhere in
order to see her change fall out, but all
she saw was a little sign, "Put the exact
fare in the box" The men whom she
had overlooked only grinned. She ap-
pealed to the driver for change. He told
her he could not open the box, but that
if she would wait until another passen-
ger got aboard she could have his nickel
instead of his dropping itin the box.
Pretty soon typical "chappie," with
monocle and English covert coat much
too large for him, stepped into the bus
and offered the driver ten cents to be
changed into two nickels. The driver
explained to him the predicament the
young lady was in and asked him to give
her one of the nickels.
Certainly, with all the pleasure in
the world" said the young fellow, as
with "ain't-I-just-in-it" smile he raised
his hat, bowed profusely to the young
woman and dropped nickel into her
little gloved hand. He beamed into her
eyes as he did so in a way that evident
ly embarrassed her, but he grinned
wider at her blush and looked around at
the others as if to say, "Watch me mash
her the first time" Then with a jaunty
air he dropped the other nickel in the
box.
Then several men snorted and the
young fellow looked up surprised to see
what they were laughing at. He could
not help seeing that he was the object of
their mirth. He could not understand it
at first, but pretty soon it struck him
that he had got rid of two nickels for
one ride. Then he blushed up to the
roots Of his hair, got very hot indeed
and went out on the roof to cool Off

Funny Incidents at Marriage Services.


Some funny stories are told about the
marriage service in the Isle of Man.
One of them relates how an old man,
brought rather unwillingly to the altar,
could not be induced to repeat the re-
sponses. "My good man." at length ex-
claimed the clergyman, 81 really cannot
marry you unless you do as you are told"
But the man remained silent. At this
unexpected hitch the bride lost all pa
tience with her future spouse and burst
out with, "Go on. Say it after him just
the same as if you was mockin him.
The same difficulty occurred in another
case. The clergyman, after explaining
what was necessary and going over the
responses several times, without the
smallest effect, stopped in dismay,
whereupon the bridegroom encouraged
him with, go ahead, pass'n, go ahead!
thou'rt doin bravely." Upon another oc-
casion it was, strangely enough, the
woman who could not be prevailed upon
to speak. When the clergyman remon-
strated with her, she Indignantly replied:
"Your father married me twice befoor,
and he wasn't akin me any of them i'm
percent questions at all."-London Satur-
day Review.

Kind of Jurors Preferred.

Criminal court lawyers always like to
have their cases on the first two or three
days of the term if possible. The reason
Is that the jurors in many instances are
fresh and green at the work Of listening
to evidence, and invariably show more
sympathy for the, persons on trial than
they have after they have sat for couple
Of weeks.
Jurors in the general sessions court
are chosen to try cases for a month.
Every term there are always some who
have never been in the court before,
while of course others have had plenty
Of experience and are adamantine Sc
the young lawyer at the beginning of
the month dwells on the sympathetic
side of his case and resorts to all tricks,
such as. bringing the weeping wife into
court, and tells the juries of the terrible
results of term in state prison.-New
York Times.

Asbestus and India Rubber.

The use of asbestus in connection with
India rubber is now practiced in various
directions. Asbestus and india rubber
woven sheeting, for instance, consists Of
asbestus woven cloth, coated on both
sides with india rubber and then vul-
canized. It is used as substitute for
the asbestus millboard for packing for
steam joints and in other situations
where it is desired to resist both heat
and moisture, while affording high
degree of elasticity.

washers are also made, and asbestus

People who Dislike Bats.

There is very strong dislike to the
bat among the peasants of South Ger
many. A feeling Of disgust and fear
takes possession of the farmer who finds
bats in his chimney, not only because he
believes the creatures will feed upon his
pork that hangs in the smoke, but be-
cause bats are regarded as unlucky and
bring poverty and misfortune. .-Phila-
