one of those rowing men who can never be-

Then the wretched grandmother remem-

poor little Bub had been left above to the

wondered If the shock would kill her.

and, for the first time, a shower of tears

it was which saved her reason.
When the search for the body of
the elder man was given up the two

and when after some delay the land was

CUCKOO CLOCKS.
1t Is in VilIingen, Black Forest, That
They Are Made.

IL is III FEIlIn&en, Black FOREST, mat
They Are Made.
Villingen is one of the centers for the
Black Forest clock industry. The making
of clocks in the SchwarZwald dates from a
very old time, and the Industry has here at
tanned some forms which are to be found
nowhere else. 1t is, perhaps, the most dis
tinctive of all the skilled trades of those
clever people.
The Inhabitants Of the hills, from the
earliest time. in distinction from the res
idents of the valleys, who preferred to
farm, have shown a love for woodwork
and centuries ago trained their hands to
cut out various clever utensils. Their skill
in this line took the form of clockmaking
about 1850 or 1880. There were very rudi-
mentary ideas af1oat concerning what
constituted clock in those days. AT first a
weight was used hung from a string.
Later the pendulum was lntrod uced.
Then came the striking one-day clocks.
Again, little later, ths elght-day clocks.
By their own discoveries and by the adop-
tloa of the Inventions of foreigners these
people have thus publicly kept themselves
in the front rank among the clock manu-
facturers of the world.
This section paI ttcularly excsls in max
ing automatic clocks, and clocks combined
with musical boxes and other novelties.
The principal thing in this line, however,
is the cuckoo clock lin German kukuk)
The first cuckoo clock was put together
about $50 years ago by an inventive old
SehwaItzWaldar, and the popularity of his
clever mechanical device continues with
out abatement. As this is a subject which
has lately been the cause Of some discus
sion in the United States, it may be we'll
to say that il is the home of the clock in
question. There are several factories in
Villingen which manufacture nothing else

Tor 81, aud so on up, according 10 the
quality of his song ana other character
lstics. His special peculiarly, of course,
is his regularity, and this is what got him
into trouble in the United States. He has
a small cage up at the top OF the clock, and
whenever the time comes for him to go
Thu ough his exhibition his door flies open,
he steps out in front, bows, and flaps his
wings. and sings his little song. He has
been criticized for his limited repertoire.
Nature did TINS, and no bird can improve
on nature. The peculiar sound is made by
the use of q sort OF double bellows, through
which the wind is forced at the proper in
tervalS.
Ii it is good clock the mimicry is par
feet. 1t is an invention which could have
been made only here, IN the land of the
cuckoo. At this time of the year the bird
can be heard see-sawipg away in eyerv
copse of woods. He has points of differ
ence from the American cuckoo. He does
not lay his eggs in other birds nests, and
seems, IN TACT, TO be very decent kind of
fowl.-Philadelphia Evening Times.

TO TALK UNDER THE OCEAN.
A Cable Foot Thick Needed for a
Telephone.

1t was Professor SyiVanus Thompson of
London that set electricians talking again
about what Is known as submarine tele-
phony. He was in the United States some
months ago, and he declared his belief that
a cable so constructed as TO make what the
electricians call Self-induction balance and
neutraliZe certain other elements of diff
Guilty in the problem would render 1t pos
sibls to talk from the Old World TO the
New. Practical electricians see small pros
poets of results from Professor Thomp-
sons suggestion. as it would cost some
millions of dollars to test the accuracy of
his theory. He admits that his special
form of cable would be costly and difficult
TO make and lay.
IL is generally held by electricians that
cable with thick enough conducting
core properly insulated would carry the
human voice under the ocean Some cleo
trieians guess that the cable, Insulating
coat and ali, that should carry speech IN
der the Atlantic must he a foot in diane
ter This Is arguing from known facts.
but unforeseen difficulties might arise.
When the electrician has taken into ac-
count all he knows he is sometimes baked
in practice by the DEVELOPMENT of things
that he does not know. The building of
such a cable, or of that suggested by
Professor Thompson, is believed to be a
long way off.
The only man who has suggested a
method of sending human speech under
the ocean by means Of cables now in use is
j. j. Carly, a widely known electrical
theory in lecture about five years ago.
Another man thought the idea OF sufficient
practical importance to have IL patented.
When Mr.. Carly thinks so perhaps the
other fellow will hear from him.
When telegraph operator cables across
the Atlantic there is an apDreciabie
length of time between the commuRea-
ton of the impulse here and the recording
OF 1t on the other side. and the second i'm
pulse must be withheld until such time
has elapsed. For this reason the human
voice cannot be directly transmitted by
cables now In use, for a single syllable
would communicate hundreds of tiny i'm
pulses TO the cable, and they would iostie
one another, SO to speak, in such fashion
that no clear record wOuld be made upon
the other side. Mr.. Carly suggested that
the message be first talked into phenO-
graph upon one side of the Atlantic; that
the phonograDh then be connected with
the cable and turned at so slow rate
that the impulses shall not crowd one ar
other. A slowly moving photograph on
the other side would receive the message
and, having Its record. would be reyolved
rapidly enough for the sounds to be re-
ceived by the human ear.
MI. Carty believes his plan perfectly
sound in theory, but he admits that it
would take a long time to send such
message. No experiment has been tried
to demonstrate its practice bility, partly
because Mr.. Carly is too busy earning a
living IN the service Of a telephone COM
pany to take six months off for devisinE
the necessary machinery for the expert
ment, and partly because the cable COM
panles are not likely to trouble themselves
about such matter.-New York sun.
