NEWARK, May 2. 1S~s5.-James Muir,
a rich aseventy-year-old truck farmer,
was married last week to Theresa Fred
ericks. the twenty-year-old daughter of
his next door neighbor and chief farm
hand.
Theresa has Titan t~resses, great blue
eyes and a slender form, but old Mr..
Muir's relatives were not susceptible to
such charms, and made strong obiec-
tions. His aged sister never dreamed of
her brother marrying, for she thought
he shared hen own strong prejudice
against matrimony: When, therefore, he
bashfully told her several weeks ago
that he and Theresa were thinking of
marriage. there was an explosion. Miss
Muir left the house and declared she
would never return. She went to the
house of one of her sisters, about a mile
up the road and there she has tarried
ever since.
Mr.. Muir did not altar his intentions
withsregard to Theresa. He merely wait
ed to see If his relatives were going to
cool off. They said all sorts of mean
things. about Theresa. and even cracked
jokes at his expense. That made him
more determined than ever, and last
week he and Theresa quietly slipped
down to the church parsonage and were
married. The old farmer is hale and
hearty and, does not appear to be much
much more than fifty years Old

4 CLOCK THAT RUNS BY ALCOHOL
81 Lonts' Timepieee Noted for

There is In this city a clo1k that 70. sim
plicity and accuracy SURPRISES the his
toric one of Benjamin Franklin. 1t is the
property of Gerhardt Eckhard, 12I South
Fourth street, and was constructed on a
plan designed by one of his assistants,
Robert Saloch.
The framework is shaped like an
elongated horseshoe. about two and one
half feet in height. and from its centre
hangs a wheel, four and ons-half feet in
diameter and one inch wide. This wheel
is enclosed by glass, so as to be alright.
Along its inner circumference are sixteen
small partitions, connected with each
other by means Of a puneture the size OF
a pinhole.
The wheel turns IN an axle six inches
about which is coiled the thread by
which the wheel is suspended. Now, if
the sixteen partitions were empty there
would be nothing to prevent the thread
about the axle uncoiling and the wheel
falling down. As a counterforce, there
fore eight of the partitions are filed with
alcohol. and when the thread begins to
unwind the alcohol on one side is higher
than on the other.
Consequently, the force of gravity acts
to prevent the string from untwisting
further. It is here that the pinholes
come in. for as the alcohol slowly oozes
through them in order to seek the proper
level, the thread unwinds a little mere,
the n side Is again raised slightly, and
SO the thread, by scarcely perceptible
slowly descends.
On the scale figured out in this instru-
ment it takes just twelve hours for the
wheel to descend the distance of two feet
1t can then easily be wound up again by
twisting back the thread upon the axle.
To mark the exact time of the day there
is constructed on one side CT the frame
a straight dial with divisions as close as
five minutes. A single hand, balanced
upon the axle of the descending wheel,
pionts the time upon the scale.
Mr.. Saloch told a reporter that he had
been at work on this ingenious device
during the whole of last summer. He
had tried all sorts of substances. water,
oil, ETC., but ne found none so s~erviceable
as alcohol. There is, of course, no very
great merit to the clock as it is now, ex,
cept as. q. show piece.
BY slightly -complicating matters, how
ever, adding four wheels and enIarging
the axle of the wheel, Mr.. Saloch says
the clock run from three to ten years
with a descent of only about a foot and
a half during that time.-St. Louis Globes
