OYSTER PIRATES RAIDED.
The Tangicr Puts Fleet of
Dredgers to Flight.

Correspondence Of tho Richmond Dispatch.l
ONANCoCK, February 1l.-Captain A.
J. Read, Of the Virginia oyster police
boat Tangier, swooped down on the ille-
gal dredgers in Pocomoko Sound and
put them to flight. The pirates. who
were all from Maryland, were catching
great quantities of oysters on Old Wo-
mans marsh, imagining, no doubt, that
the Virginia oyster police-boat was still
ice-bound i'll Pungoteaque creek. As
soon as they saw Captain Reads boat
they hoisted their canvas and sailed
away before the wind. Captain Read
followed III hot pursuit, and though he
was not able to overtake any of the
boats, he shot holes through the sails of
several boats and gave the pirates such
a scare that they will probably not re-
peat their depredations for some time to
come.

Herr Noil, a mcchalician of BeraDgen,
Germany, has constructed clock warrant
ell to run for 1000 years without winding.
d. l.. Golf, in this country, has in his hall
an old fashioned clock which. 80 long az the
house Is occupied. never runs down. When
ever the front door Is opened or closed, the
winding arrangements of the clock, which
are connected with the door by rod with
gearing attachments, are given a turn, so
that persons entering and leaving the house
keep the clock constantly wound up.
T. G. Farrer Of Fresno, Cal, invented a
clock, the only motive power Of which, he
alleges, is the gravitation Of the earth,
which keeps the clock running forever
without winding This clock consists of n
plate glass dial suspended from the ceiling,
and ali the parts Of it that are visible are the
two hands, the pivot on which they swing
and the dial In 1870 J. Smith Of Leeds,
England, constructed a clock, the sole mo-
tor OF which was electricity. He lived to
see this clock go for 30 years. Clocks are
now made to run Eve years with one wind.
ing There is clock in the Church Of
st. Quentin, Mayence, which is said TO
have stopped only once during q period Of
100 years.-Brooklyu Eagle.
