a German Clock.

Mr.. Thomas ID. 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 a. clock with a
framework of walnut, and stands II
feet high. At the top it is 80 feet
across, but tapers until at the center it
is about 2 feet wide. 1t rests ON "a ped
estal, which is the same width as at the
top of the clock The dial is 12 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 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 a polite
bow. The clock plays twenty-four diff
| ferent German tunes. The musical
weight is of lead, and weighs 12t
pounds. Over 100 various pipes are
needed to play the tunes. The entire
clock weighs nearly 600 pounds.
The machinery is extremely compli

Anniversary of Postage stamps.

The postage stamp will celebrate its
fifty y-second anniversary on May 6. Its
invention is due to printer, James
Chalmers, of Dundee, Scotland, who died
in 1858. England, ffty-two years ago,
introduced the new system of preparing
letter postage, and, according to de-
cree of Dec. 81, 1899, issued the first
stamps which were to be put before the
public on May of the following year.
A year later they were introduced III
the United States and Switzerland, and
within three years had become common
in Bavaria. Belgium and France. One
of the most important and valuable col
lections of postage stamps and other pos
tai devices in the world is in the German
imperial postoffice museum at Berlin

The EaIsettn VOICE.

Mr.. E. Davidson Palmer. Mus. Bac.
Oxon., calls the attention of scientific
men to an apparently unknown fact in
connection with voice production. This
fact has TO do with the so called ''falset-
to- voice. The general opinion about
this kind of voice is that it is something
altogether unnatural, and that it ought
never to be used. According to modern
scientific theories. however. it is one of
two or more registers, and is supposed to
be intended by nature to be used only at
the upper extremity of the vocal COM
pass. But it is quite possible to produce
this kind of voice at much lower pitch
(at least an octave lower) than that at
which singers are ever taught to use it.
Produced i'll this way. it may be so
weak and feeble as to be practically use
less. Still it is possible SO to produce it.
as men and singers well know. What
they do not know and what scientific
men appear to be totally unaware of, is
that it may be developed at this low
pitch; and not only developed, but COM
pletely transformed When thus trans
formed it loses entirely its unnatural and
effieminate character. and becomes a
strong, manly voice. which is easily mis-
taken for what is commonly called ''chest
voice.. but which. unlike that kind of
voice, is capable of bearing throughout
its whole compass any strain that may
beput upon it.-English Mechanic.

How u Gold Discovery Was Made.

Mr.. James f. Wardner, of Fairhaven,
tells singular story of how the gold
quartz in Okanogan county, which is
now being worked as the Little Falls
and Red Jacket mines, was found. ION
Sept. Is last, he says, 1.-TWO prospectors,
Redmond and Herrick, were out hunt
ing and prospecting, and they had with
them bird dog named Skookum. They
were working through the Salmon river
basin when they came over a hill and
looked down into a little ravine with a
brook running through the bottom. They
saw in bush overhanging the brook a
pheasant, at which one of the men shot.
The bird fell into the water and the dog
Skookum started after it. As he scram-
bled back with it in his mouth his paw
pulled down some soft green moss from
the rock at the side of the stream. The
prospectors noticed that the stone showed
white under the moss. They made an
examination and found it to be gold
bearing quartz. They followed the lead
and located. the two claims.
well, had been for some time look
ing for that sort of ore, and so ON my
recent trip to Okanogan l bonded the
two claims, and with them included the
black dog Skookum. We are now going
to take possession and arrange for de-
velopment. New York Post.

Services are attended at IL, the Rev.

and his sons go out for another consti-
