c1oot, That Need Littlo winding.

Herr Noll, a mechanician Of Berlangen,
Germany, has constructed clock warrant
d TO run for o,ooo yoars without winding.
ID. L. qoff, in this country. has In his hall
an old fashioned clock which, 30 long as the
house "a occupied, never runsdown. When
ever the front door is opened or closed, the
winding arrangements Of the clock, which
are connected with the door by roc with
gearing attachments, are given 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 a
plate glass dial suspended from the ceiling,
and all the parts of 1t that are visible are the
two hands, the pivot on which they swing
and the dial. In 1910 j. Smith Of Leeds,
England, constructed clock, the sole mo
tor Of which was electricity. He lived to
see this clock go for 80 years. Clocks are
now made to run five years with one wind.
ing. There is n clock in the Church OF
st. Quentin, Mayence, which is said to
have stopped only once during period Of
800 years.-Brooklyn Eagle.

further investigation on the same line. The
apparatus used is q vessel of glass or porce
lain, provided with sheet lead electrode
connected with the positive pole of a con.
tinuous current generator. The vessel con

q strong pair Of pliers with insulated han
dies.
Taking in the pliers piece Of metal Of
any kind-iron, for instance-and immers
ing it in the acidulated water, the liquid is
seen Immediately in ebullition near the
iron rod or plate, which latter is rapidly
heated and brought to dazzling white in
few seconds and soon begins to melt in
Bparklike drops The heating is produced
so quickly locally that neither the water
nor the body of the metal rod has time &c
become hot So rapid an evolution of heat
means a tremendously high temperature

An Ola Fashioned Bedroom.

1t is sometimes difficult problem to dec
crate a bedroom in an old fashioned coun
try house, where the ceilings are low and
where economy must be carefully consid
cred. The Architectural and Building
Monthly says that in an old house in {
New England town the matter was salts
factorily solved by painting all the wood
work fiat white. 1t was classic in its gen
eral style, as all the colonial woodwork was
The walls were hung with paper of AZ
ivory white background, upon which small
and dainty floral patterns of the type seeI
upon Dresden china were scattered at irreg
ular intervals.
The picture molding was placed just {
half inch below the ceiling and gave the
effect of cornice without detracting any
from the height of the already almost toe
low apartment. In spite of the cry o.
would be critics to the contrary, a very
charming result was obtained by the use o.
O simple white kalsomined ceiling. Sim
pie white dimity curtains, looped bach
with blue ribbons, gave an effect of extreme
daintiness to the room.

Tidal Forces.

In all parts of the seaboard the world over
where the tides rise high the conversion Of
tidal force into electrical power will some
day be realized on scale which may make
manufactures to great extent independ-
ent Of coal, affirms a San Francisco ex-
change, which further says; The solar heat
gives us the rainfall which forms the great
lakes and renders Niagara an embarrassed
giant Of power. Niagara has partially been
utilized and will be to much greater ex-
tent. Solar and lunar gravitation, quite
independent of heat, give us the tides, and
these rise in places to 20, 40 and even 20 feet.
To make this tremendous force available
for turbines and conversion into electricity,
all that is necessary is to form huge reser-
voirs of thousands OF acres. The tide
would fill these at high water, and at low
water the reservoirs could be run off at
strong pressure and made to operate tur-
bines Power thus obtained could be
transmitted great distances The advan-
tage of this power would lie in cheapness
and constancy.

Recipes For Delicious Tea Mufiins and
Sunday Morning Loaf"
There are few meals, apart from dinner,
that are not improved by some form OF hot
bread or biscuit Southern people realize
this and use them to an extent unknown
to the northern housekeeper. The latter,
with that dread enemy dyspepsia always
before her eyes, carefully keeps her freshly
baked bread until the following day In
order to certainly have IL stale, while the
southern woman serves up hot yeast bread
always once and often twice day.
In spite Of this n Good Housekeeping cor
respondent maintains that dyspepsia Is a
northern and not southern complaint,
and that there are many recipes for muf-
fms, gems, etc, which either housekeeper
can use to her satisfaction and which add
greatly to q breakfast or tea. The follow
ing for tea mullins she recommends as par
ticularly choice. II has never been known
to fail, and the mullins made from it are
extremely delicious. These areteally more
like gems than mullins and are always

when we close one eye by the contraction
Of the orbicular muscle or by pressure, as
with the hand, we cause contraction Of the
accommodating muscle also and that Of
the open, occupied eye as well.
When anything is placed far within the
focus Of an eye, no image Of it is formed
upon the retina, and it becomes invisible.
II, then, it should be opaque and large
enough to cover the whole field of vision,
It is not only invisible, but shuts Off the
sight Of all other objects as well, leaving
the mind free to attend to the image on the
retina Of its fellow. On this principle quite
number of devices have been proposed.

Fall Hats For Well Dressed Men.

AS the we'll dressed man emerges from
his butterfly existence of summer to the
more sober tints of fall, one of the impor-
tant questions that meets him is that of
the hat. And just at this point must be
noted a growing divergence between Amer
lean and English fashions. .Anglomania is
on the wane, according to the opinions ex-
pressed in the New York Herald by an au-
thority on mems dress, and this year per-
haps the fact will be more evident in the
hat than in anything else.
The English derby is small. The Ameri-
can derby this year, as illustrated by the
authority referred to, is full at the crown
and more rounded. The pointed hat Of a
few years ago was one extreme. The PEN

Tight Balloons.

Professor Henry A. Hazen says that the
construction Of tight balloons must be the
first step toward proper exploration of the
air. 1t is hardly probable, he says, that a
balloon has been constructed in this coun-
try which will not leak 25 per cent of its
gas In "a hours. On the other hand, bal
loon has been built in France Of goldbeat-
er's skin which has leaked less than one
half Of l per cent in "a hours. In other
words, if the former balloon could just keep
afoat two days the latter would not give
out for 100 DAYS

there is no excuse for q man wearing an

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-Postmaster General Bissell has dismissed from office Frank s. Thomas, postmaster at Topekn, Kan. and appointed in his stead Andrew J. Arnold
 Mr. Thomas was appointed postmas- ter at Topeka last April at the urgent solicitation of Senator Martin of Kan sas Mr. Thomas has been an enter prising Democrat, but one that looked upon the PopulistsA with favor. He wanted to make clean sweep of the employees of the office. He informed MT. Bissell that they were offensive Re- publicans and extremely partisan.
 MT. Thomas was granted permission to dismiss some of the employees. As soon as they were discharged their friends came to the rescue and ap- pealed to the postmaster general MT. Bissell looked into the matter and finally ordered Mir, Thomas toreinstate certain clerks. This he refused to do hence his own discharge.
 MT. Arnold, who has been appointed in MT. Thomas place, has the reputa- tion here of not being 8 politician at all. He is druggist and is said to be responsible business man. Who in- dersed him nobody seems to know. The dismissal of MT. Thomas will evidently make Senator Martin very angry. and it IS reasonably certain that when the confirmation of Arnold comes up in the senate there will be some music in the air. In fact there will be music for Bissell anyhow when congress con venes, as there is scarcely Democratic representative or senator who has not grievance against him and who will not take an opportunity to air it i'll one or the other houses of congress.
