Time WITHOUT A WATCH.
An Experiment with Success Based Upon
More than One II,

An Experiment with Success Based Upon
More than One H.
Actual and repeated experiments
have shown that the nearest hour OF
the day or night may be ascertained
in the following very curious way;
Make small running loop In u
piece of sewing thread about n foot in
length place shilling in this loop,
see thai the coin is accurately bisoct-
ed by the thread, and then draw the
loop tight up, so that the shilling is
firmly slung at one end Of The thread,
says London lid Bits, Put on n solid
table glass lumber with a fairly
wide mouth, Rest your right elbow
on the table in firm and easy posi-
tion, so as to avoid any shakiness in
your hand, hold the other end of the
thread between your first finger and
the "ball" Of the thumb a. G., the
ileshy top joint of the thumb, 50
that the thumb nail is undermost
and a few inches above the middle Of
the mouth Of the glass,
Now, If you keep your hand quite
steady, the movement Of the coin
(Which is hanging inside the tumbler)
will become less and less until
the shilling is motionless, Then,
In half a minute or so, a very slight
and regular vibration will commence,
the coin oscPlating from side to side
Ikea pendulum and gradual! increas-
ing the length of movement until 1t
gently strikes the side of the glass.
This strike goes on in the most regu-
lar and automatic way, first to one
side of the glass and then on the 9th
er, until, say, eight strokes have
been struck the vibrations of the
coin then diminish In length until
the suspended shilling again becomes
motionless and hangs in the middle
of the tumbler. You look at your
watch and flud that o'clock is the
nearest hour.
| have tried this over and over
again, deliberately setting about the
experiment without bias or any in
tention Of influencing the swing Of
the coin and also being ignorant Of
the time, and when my hand has
been steady the right time has inva-
riably been struck.
There is nothing very curious about
this phenomenon. Whether the
thread is influenced by the pulse in
the "bOll" of the thumb or whether
there is some unconscious transfer
ence Of intention" from the brain
to the thread do not know, but in
any case the matter is sufficiently in
teresting to be worthy Of a critical
test by persons who will carefully
and without bias carry out this sin
gular experiment Of telling the time

The Name America.

The name Of America for the new
ly discovered continent was first pro-
posed in the little volume put forth
at st. Die, in the Vosges, in the year
1907, by WaldGeemuller, better
known by the Helized form of his
name, Hylacomyius. Three or four
editions Of this treatise were pnb-
lished at St. Die before 1907, and a
few years afterward an edition with
out date was printed at Lyons by
Jean de Ia Place, All these editions
are Of extreme rarity and probably
that printed al Lyons is the rarest Of
all, though the library Of the British
Museum possesses two copies Of it,
1t has never been suggested that any
maps were engraved to accompany
either of these editions, but it has
always been supposed that the earli-
est map with the word america"
marked ON the new-found world was
the "Typus Orbis" engraved on wood
for the ''Enarrationes Johannis Cam
ertis in @. Julii Solini Polyistoria, {"
ptinted in Vienna in 1860 for Joan
mes Singrenius, In this map the new
world is represented as long island,
on which is the inscription; "Anno d

10 the reduced garrison, chains were
placed across the approaches to the
fort to stop the advance of cavalry and
artillery. There was no whisk inside
the walls, and one night big Mike
Hennessey grew desperate and man
aged to pass the sentry and leave the
fort, Confederates or no Confeder-
ates, to be shot as deserter or not, rs

must have. He went down to n Mex
lean jacal or shanty, whore he got
gloriously drunk on mescal, a little of
which goes farther than any other
stimulant in the world, then stag
gored back up to the fort. Forgetting,
or too drunk to notice them, he ran
into the chains, and hung himself
neatly up to dry as If he had been n
bundle of clothes, Head downward
on one side, while his helpless legs
dnugled on the other, he began to
screech dismally, The sentinel heard
and supposing it to be the enemy, gave
the alarm, and soon the long roll beat
announced general danger to the gar
rison. But presently it was ascer-
tanned what the matter was, and n
corporal and two men were sent out
to bring Mike in. They found him
hung on the chain and began to be-
labor him with the butt end of their
muskets, when he commenced to cry
and whimper; "Don't hit me tonight,

Didn't ston for a Pass.

During the fall of 1862, when the
sick and wounded of McClellan's army
were being removed from the James
River to hospitals in the North, the
following incident occurred on one of
the steamboats, running from Old Point
to Harrison's Landing. 1t was Gus
tomary at that time for captains of
steamers to collect passes and tickets
from the passengers.
When Capt. came on the hur-
ricane deck, almost the first man he
accosted was one of what the rebels
called in the early part of the war, red
devil Yankees. The Chickahominy
fever and low diet had reduced the
poor fellow almost to a skeleton, but
had failed to take all the devil-may-
care out of him.
"Your pass, my friend" said the
captain.
"Ain't got no pass"
"How is that?"

reply.

estly. "Where did you come from?"
"Well, I'll tell you; 1 was left by the
surgeon of our regiment at - hos
pital, eight days ago tomorrow, and"
"Why didn't you stay there?" de-
manded the captain.
This evidently amused the sick man,
4. 4 .Aos. IL
apparently at the latter's simplicity,
and continued:
~There were seven in the hospital
then, with Chickahominy fever; the
doctor had buried one every day since.
1 went thar. He buried the seventh
man this morning; had 1 stopped till
tomorrow morning, that doctor would
have buried me sure, and that wasn't
the kind of pass wanted"

The Lakes bottom Fell Out.

A lake thirty miles long and twelve
wide, and one of the most beautiful
sheets Of water In the State Of Sinaloa,
Mexico, has entirely disappeared. 1t
was situated at the foot Of the Sierra
Madre Mountains, in the midst OF
fertile agricultural region. There were
several earthquake shocks in that vicin-
ity, and during one OF these disturb
ances the natives were startled to see
the water OF the lake sink into the
earth as though the bottom had dropped
out, while thousands and thousands OF
fish were left In the bed Of the lake.
A large crevlce was found In the Dot
tom, through which the water had dis
appeared. Evidently the water had
found an underground outlet to the
ocean, through VIII CHI the flow OF the
springs which fed the lake now passes.

MrInI,lea md Pain.

When the day has been long and
hard; when sharp pain begins to-
make itself felt in the busy womans
forehead and dull ache in the back
of her neck; and when she is sure
that the only answer to the question
as to whether life Is worth living Is
a negative, then there Is only one
thing for her to do. And that one
thing is not to read a cheerful or even
pious book, or to force herself into a
pleasant mood. 1t is this; First she
must get out of her tight clothes and
bunch her hair on the top of her
head. Then she must battle her face
for five minutes in the hottest water
she can bear. Then her neck must
be treated to the same process, She
will look like a lobster or beet, but
she should refrain from looking at
herself. After that she should lie
down fat on her back and give her
self to the single thought Of how
heavy she is and how the couch sup
ports her. II she does not fall ASLEEP
as she probably will, she should rise
and the end Of half an hour Of thii
intellectual enjoyment. She will fee
ten years younger There will be ne
pain anywhere, and she will have
cheerful conviction that life is very
much worth living. Moreover, tho
lobster hue will have faded to rose,
and she will look as we'll as she feels,

Water.

One of the simplest methods by
which heterogeneous can be re-
moved from water is by the addition
of alum. Experiments at Leeds
showed that the addition Of one-half
grain of alum to gallon of water
reduced the Number of microbes by
80 per cent, and the material has
recently been used for purifying wa
ter on large scale in America. 1t
is found that la all cases after agi-
tating water to which small amount
of alum has been added an absolute
ly sterile liquid is obtained, though
as many as l20 microbes originally
existed in a cubic centimetre (0.06
cubic inches).

forced Buckner to ask for terms. The
writer claims that it was Smith who
demanded unconditional surrender,
which phrase Grant merely appropri-
ated
In support Of the truth, would like
to make short extract from book
entitled "Wur Pictures from the South,
by b, Estivan, colonel Of cavalry in the
Confederate Army, and published in
1868.
Speaking of the sortie to be made
from Fort Donelson, he writes: But
they had miscalculated the enemy's
watchfulness. At midnight, Gen.
Grant, anxious for the safety OF his
encampment, has visited all his out
posts, recommending all his officers to
keep sharp lookout.
"This indefatigable officer then made
q personal reconnaissance of the ground
around the fort.
"The enemy's pickets fell back, but
without our troops gaining any marked
advantage, while the regiment ordered
up by Gen. Grant soon made its APP
pearance, and it was high time it did
so, for the troops engaged had diff
cult task to hold in check our attack
ing columns.
Gen. Buckner, who commanded the
reserve, Immediately ordered up two
regiments to Floyd's support, but
Grant, observing signs of confusion
among the Confederate troops, direct
ed general attack upon the enemy all
along the line.
"He himself led his men against our
right flank and drove us from one po-
sition to another.
"Never since the battle of Rich
Mountain and Manassas had the Fed
erals displayed greater steadiness than
they did on this occasion. Here was
another proof how popular general
can influence the conduct of his troops.
The struggle was hand-to-hand one.
The bayonet, the bowie knife, and the
butt end of the musket were the only
weapons used. No quarter asked ;
none given. Gen. Grant at
once accepted the armistice proposed
by Buckner. The surrender
of the fort was to take place that day
before A o'clock. IF not completed at
that time the bombardment will be i'm
mediately recommended, and the fort
be RACED to the ground
"These words, spoken in decisive
tone of voice, did not fail to have due
effect upon the Confederate officers.
While they were on the point of leav-
ing, Gen. Grant inquired how 1t came
that Gen. Buckner was charged with
settling the equalization instead of
either Gems. Floyd or Pillow, both
of whom held superior rank to him.
On being informed in reply that they
both had escaped with considerable
portion of their troops during the
night, he was fairly staggered at the
unwelcome intelligence, and for a mo-
ment was compelled to lean Tor sup
port against table.
"'What, Floyd escaped% he ex-
claimed, as he struck the table furious
ly with his clinched fist. Floyd es-
capped the very bird l wished to
catch ?
Binding that his coveted prey was
lost, Gen. Grant turned sulkily away,
and ordered the chief of the staff to
settle the terms of the capitulation
with Gen. Buckner as speedily as pos
sible.'- New York Advertiser.
