the vertical barrel on which the hour
hand is fixed. The two arbors are
connected by gearing so calculated
that the minute arbor revolves twelve
times while the hour arbor turns once
round. 1t is the minute arbor which
bears all the weight of the hands; the
barrel of the hour hand revolves easily
within that of the minutes, by means
of train of casters that changes the
gliding friction into rolling one.
Underneath the small train of east
ers there is a conical pinion that is set
to motion by means of horizontal
arbor on which acts the power, which

cascade, from the basin of which it
runs to reservoir, the overplus going
TO sewer, The reservoir is so ar
ranged that by means of the overplus
there must always be the same level,
as it is necessary that the water which
is the aching power should always flow
with the same force. The water goes
through pipe provided with funnel,
and is thus brought to distributor

Fartl,est North.


The story of American explorers who
have braved the perils of the northern
seas, knowing that almost superhuman
efforts Were to be required of them,
shows that they had the same enthu-
siasm that characterized and sustained
the early discoveries. One of the
members of the Greeley expedition
gives an account in Scribner's Maya
zine of their sufferings and persever-
ance. Fatigue, thirst, hunger, cold,
and even heat at times beset us Each
camp found us physically exhausted.
We scanted our food, and with envi-
GUS regretful eyes saw each bit disap-
pear, since il shortened the length OF
our possible journey northward.
Finally the coveted honor was in sight.
Realizing that this was indeed the
'Farthest North we unfurled the flag
of our country, the glorious Stars and
Stripes. with feeling of pride and ex-
ultation impossible to describe Lieut.

EIeetrlcItr on &c Farm.

a vast field for electricity is opening
up in its practical application to farm
work, and the discussions OF this sub
ject in various engineering journals
has created considerable interest. The
Electrical World has begun the pub
LEGATION of series of articles upon the
practical application of electricity to
the various farm operations and imple-
ments. with illustrations of a plant
which is situated in one of the finest
agricultural States of the West, and
which shows in detail how the electric
motor can be made to perform most of
the work which the horse or the steam
engine is now called upon to do.
There are four classes of teamwork
to which electricity is applicable:
First. for power purposes; second,
lighting; third, heating, and fourth,
for the operation of telephones, sig
mails, alarms, etc. Examples under
these various heads are numerous. For
instance, hay, grain and other pro-
ducts can be hoisted by electric power.
which can also be applied to ordinary
elevators. An electric motor may run
pumping apparatus, which win fur
nish water for the drinking troughs.
for fire purposes, or for watering the
garden, use in dairy houses, etc.
All such miscellaneous machines as
threshers, grinders, shelters. hay
presses, grindstones, etc, can be read
lily operated by electric motors. 1t is
very probable that in time electric
railway lines may exist over the best
agricultural regions, furnishing COM
munication between the different
farms, as we'll as small .ramways on
separate farms. connecting the differ
ent buildings, while electric plows
and vehicles of all sorts are among the
posi- bilities

Marvel, of tho Underworld.


The mystery of the under world APP
peals with irresistible force to the
imagination. Tales of the wonders
concealed in the caverns and hidden
under the ground have always inter
ested the inhabitants of every country.
And the strange and splendid scene 5
frequently discovered in such places
as the Mammoth Cave, the Luray cav
erns, the sea caves of Bermuda and
the BlueGrotto of Capri have lent
wings to the fancy which pictures still
more marvellous spectacles under
meath the ground.
As matter of fact it is probable
that we are as yet acquainted with but
comparatively few of the spacious cav
erns that exist at no great depth
beneath the earth, and which, filled
with air, are capable Of being eN-
plored by men. The explorations of
Mr.. T., A. Murtel in France have re-
Gently added very largely TO
our knowledge Of what has been called
the ''subtcrranean geography" of that
country, Similar work in other coun-
tries would undoubtedly produce many
surprising revelations Of what the
earth contains, 1t is well known that
a vast quantity Of water exists beneath
the surface Of the ground, and that
even considerable streams are flowing
there, Mr., Baldwin Latham has lately
called attention in England TO very
interesting method of tracing the
courses of these underground streams.
At certain seasons, especially in Sep
TENDER aud October, peculiar lines oi
fog may be observed close TO the

LoUDE8P NOISE EVER HEARD.
1t Issued from the Throat of "a Volcano
and was ueard 100 Mics.

and was Heard 1,7O0 Miles.
No thunder from the skies was ever ac-
companied with a roar of such Vehe-
mence as that which issued from the
throat Of the great volcano in Krakatoa,
an iSlet lying in the Straits Of Sunda, be-
tween Sumatra and Java, at 10 o'clock
on Monday morning, August ~, 1888,
says j writer in the YOUTHS Companion.
As that dreadful Sunday night wore on
the noise increased in intensity and fre
quency. The explosions succeeded each
other so rapidly that a continuous roar
seemed to issue from the island. The
critical moment was now approaching
and the outbreak was preparing for q ma
.jestic elimination. The people of Bata-
via did not sleep that night. Their win
dows quivered with the thunders from
Krakatoa, which resounded like the dis
charge Of artillery in their streets. Finally
at 10 o'clock on Monday morning a stu
pendous COnvulsiOn took place which far
transcended any OF the shocks which had
preceded it. This supreme effort it was
which raised the mightiest noise ever
heard on this globe Batavia is 80 miles
distant from krakatoa. at Carimon,
Java, 800 miles-aWay, reports were heard
on that Sunday morning which led to the
belief that there must be some vessel in
the distance which was discharging its
guns as signals of distress. The authOri-
ties sent out boats to make a search; they
presently returned, as nothing could be
found in want of succor. The reports
were sounds which had come all the way
from krakatoa. At Macassar, in Celebes,
loud explosions attracted the notice of
everybody. Two steamers were hastily
sent out to find what was the matter.
The sounds had travelled from the Straits
OF Sunda, distance OF 500 miles. But
mere hundreds of miles will not suffice
to illustrate the extraordinary distance to
which the greatest noise that ever was
heard was able to penetrate. The figures
have to be expressed in thousands. This
seems almost incredible, but it is GER
tainly true. In the Victoria plains, in
West Australia, the shepherds were
startled by noises like heavy cannonad-
ing. 1t was some time afterward before
they learned that their tranquility had
been disturbed by the grand events then
proceeding at krakatoa, LOO miles away.

Botanical Oddities.

Those who have given any particular
attention to the study of botanical oddities
know that the Brazilian flower known as
the running antelope" is so called be-
cause its white petals have a series of well
defined dark colored lines and dots, in
which the imagination can readily trace
the form of an antelope, with its limbs
outstretched and head thrown back.
seemingly fleeing for its life. In the
"caricature plant' one species has the
initiative form on the petals, and another
has it outlined in the ribs and shading of
the leaves. This last mentioned curiosity
bears a remarkably well executed like
ness of the Duke Of Wellington and has,
on that account, been named Arthur aud
His Nose"

Afraid of Rain.

The tortoise is notan animal one would
naturally fix upon as likely to be afraid
Of rain, but it is singulariy so. Twenty
four hours or more before rain falls the
Galapagos tortoise makes for some con-
venient shelter. On bright, clear morn
ing when not a cloud is TO be seen the
denizens of a tortoise farm on the African
coast may be seen sometimes heading for
the nearest overhanging rocks; when
that happens the proprietor knows that
rain will come down during the day, and
as q rule it comes down in torrents. The
sign never fails. This pre-sensatiOn, to
coin a word, which exists in many birds
and beasts, may be explained partly from
the increasing weight of the atmosphere
when rain is forming, partly by habits of
living and partly from the need Of moist
ure which is shared by ali. The American
cat-bird gives warning of an approaching
thunderstorm by sitting on the low
branches of the dogwood tree whether
this union of the feline with the canine
is invariable the deponent sayeth not
and uttering curious notes. Other birds.
including the familiar robin, it is said,
give similar evidence Of an impending
change in the weather.
