An Ingenious contrivance Of an Inyento,
in Belgium.
The Gare de Nord, Brussels has beer
lifted with a mechanical wonder in tbe
shape Of u clock, which, although con.
stantly exposed to all kinds Of weather
never gets out OF repair, nor does II need
70 DO wound by the hand Of man. Ii ii
aperpetual timekeeper Of the most unique
ana original design, the running weight
beng kept in constant motion either
through the influence of gravitation, as
when on the descending trip, or by the
winds action on D fan attachment which
causes the weight to rise to q level with
The top Of the framework. The winding
attachment is not a windmill of the reg
nlatlon type, but is a fan placed in q
common chimney, the paddles being act
ed upon by the natural ''up cast" or
"draft."
AS soon as this fan has raised the
running weight to its extreme height,
the cord to which the weight is attached
acts on wheel which throws a brake
INTO gear, and the more rounds of cord
that are added, so much more strongly
does the brake act to prevent the weight
from rising any higher, the checking
tendency being transmitted to the fan
wheel with every revolution.
A simple pawl arrangement prevents
the down draft from exerting any con-
trary influence on the fan wheel. There
Is not, as one might suppose on first
thought, any necessity of having fire
IN the stove or fireplace of the chimney
to which this odd clock is attached,
The natural tendency OF air is to ascend
through such vents, the draft thus Gre
ated being always sufficient for weight
winding purposes. The clock might be
placed at the top of a hollow tree with
bottom opening, Or any other cylinder
from fifteen to twenty-five feet in height
With its present attachments this
clock runs but twenty-four hours after
inc winding fan stops, but by the addi-
tion OF another wheel Or two, might be
made to runa month or two even though

OF INTEREST TO ATHLETES.

James Robinson, the athletic trainer at
Princeton College, Princeton, N. j., saws
have found it imperative to have sure
and simple remedies on hand in case Of
cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds, rheu-
matism, etc. Shortly after entering upon
my profession discovered such remedy
IN ALLoooK's Porous PLAsrERs. | tried
othe plasters, but found them too harsh
and irritating. ALLCocK's Porous PLAsTERs
give almost instantaneous relief, and their
strengthening power is remarkable. In
cases Of weak back put two plasters on the
small Of the back, and in a short time YOU
will be capable OF quite severe exercise. In
,sprlNt and distance races and jumping
the muscles or tendons in the legs and feet
sometimes weaken. This can invariably
be relieved by cutting the plaster in narrow
strips so as to give free motion, and apply
ing on muscles affected.
