The most curious and unique clock in
the United States, or in the world for that
matter, was constructed by Amos Lane of
Amedee. Lanes curious clock, which. by
the way, is all face hands and lever, is at
tacheu to geyser which shoots upward an
immense column of hot water every thirty-
eight seconds exactly. This spouting never
varies the tenth of second in its time:
therefore a clock properly harnessed to it
cannot do otherwise than keep correct
time. The lever mentioned above in con-
nection with the hands and face of the
clock is SO placed as to be fairly hit by the
shooting column of water, and every time
the lever is struck it moves the hands for.
ward exactly thirty seconds. Lanes
only trouble was to properly divide these
thi1ty-eight second strokes into hours.
During the time he was employed in con
structing his novelty it is said that he often
quietly wished that old Dame Nature had
geared this particular geyser so as to spout
every half minute exactly.-St. Louis Re

johnson, of Madison county, Va, was a
| famous pioneer in Kentucky, and his son,
| Richard NJ. johnson, was in turn famous
| soldier under General William Henry Har-
rison, a congressman and senator from
| Kentucky and vice president with Pres
ident Van Buren,. Three other sons were
eminent us soldiers, and one of them, Colo
mel James Johnson, at one time congress
man from Kentucky, was grandfather of
Tom The latter's father served in the
Confederate army during the civil war and
returned to Kentucky badly broken in for
tune. Tom was educated in the common
schools of Evansville, Ind, but while still
boy went into the service Of a street rail
road and rose with astonishing rapidity.
Having invented various devices, includ-
ing farebox, which brought him soma
money, he joined in buying dilapidated
street railroad in indianapolis and became
its manager, his father being president. He
was then but twenty-five years old, and in
twelve years thereafter had acquired Il for
tune of at least half million. He acquired
another street railroad at Cleveland, took
up his residence there, established a steel
rail mill at Johnstown, Pa, and improved
the processes SO greatly that the johnson
girder rail'' Is now in use on at least half
the street railroads in the country. Stran-
gest of all, while manufacturing highly
protected steel rails he became free trader
Hewants it distinctly understood that he
is not tariff reformer," revenue tariff
man" or anything of that sort. He is a
straight out free trader and single taxer. As
such he ran for congress in 1888 and was
defeated by SO small majority that old
politicians were amazed. In 1890 he was
elected by 3,400 majority and early in the
Fifty-second congress became known as
representative at large of the single tax
free traders throughout the United States"
Ohio was redistricted, and his district was
thought good for 1900 majority against
him, but he went into the campaign of 1893
on his own platform and won by the amaz-
ing majority of 8,200.
A man who does q thing like that is never
obscure at Washington, and Tom L. John
son is now u star. His recent speech before
the New York Reform club stamped him
as the most radical in economic views of
all the men now prominent in political life.
