MINNEAPoLIs's BIG CLOCK.

a Minneapolis co,resp ,ndent writes
One of the largest clocks in the world
hss just been completed and put in
motion in the tower of the new Henne.
pin county courthouse in Minneapolis.
The tower itself rises 365 feet above
the ground, and the clock is located in
its top, surmounted only by the belfry
in which hangs the peal of ten bells.
This clock has four faces, each dial
being % feet 4 inches in diameter.
The minute hands, which are broad
pieces of wood sheathed in copper, are
each eleven feet, eight inches in length.
AT the axis they are two feet in diane.
ter, tapering to the blunt point which
travels the outer disk. The hour hands
are each 6 feet, S inches in length, and
both minute and hour hands are bal.
anced on the axis by metal rods ex-
tending in the opposite directions from
the hands themselves.
The four dials of the clock are made
of ground glass of extreme thickness,
having an octagonal centre, through
which the shafts from the central works
pass; This is surrounded by triangular
pieces made by the formation of two
diagonal squares in the circular frame
Outside of this are the sections dividing
the glass into the FIVE minute period .
Another circle shows the minute divis-
ions. Behind each dial is to be plac, d
a white dial reflector, upon whose sur
lace are to be placed twelve fifty-cand
power incandescent lamps, by means OF
which the four faces may be illumi.
mated.
Above the clock is the belfry. A
small device, called by the workmen
who have been putting the delicate ma
chinery in place, ''the piano." connects
the clock with four of the bells in such
way that at each quarter of an hour
the four bells will strike in succession
and at the hour this will be followed
by strokes on the big bell to the number
indicating the hour.
To obviate the difficulty which might
otherwise be experienced from cold, it
is proposed to place in the clock room
in the tower small electric heater,
which will keep the temperature suf-
ficiently equal to avoid the effects Of
extreme cold in the metallic parts OF
the clock.

to max herself as beautiful as possible. I'm

WHY THEY PREFER MEN.
Saleswomen Find Them More Agreeable
Than Their Own Sex.

Saleswomen Find Them More Agreeable
Than Their Own Sex.
1t has long been an accepted fact that
saleswomen had rather wait on a gen.
tleman customer than lady. Why this
is so has not always been apparent, and
persons have assumed that it was mere
ly natural for a woman, associated for
the most part with her own sex in store
work, and whose customers were princi-
pally women, to find a man purchaser
refreshing relief.
An occurrence, however, in Boston
glove store a few days since puts an
other light on the subject.
The Saleswoman, whose duty il is to
wait upon gentlemen customers, not
being thus engaged, had gone to serve a
lady, who proved to be an extremely
hard customer to suit, calling for one
style after another. The clerk was be-
coming discouraged and beginning to
feel as if she didn't care whether or not
sale was made.
At this point another saleswoman said
to her: Maud, there's a man." and
came to relieve her of the uncomfort-
able customer.
Thank goodness" exclaimed Maud,
as she started toward the counter where
gentlemen's gloves were sold.
What would you like to see, sir?" she
asked of the man who was waiting.
81 want medium shade of brown,
with n wide stitch on the back and
fastened with button instead of a
clasp"
The saleswoman placed a varied as
sortment before him. Quickly selecting
pair, he exclaimed: Just what |
want!" and had one glove fitted. Il
suited him exactly, and, having paid
for his purchase, he left the store.
Now, what sort of gloves does the
reader think this gentleman purchased?
They were of dark shade of brown
not medium; they had narrow stitch
on the back, not wide; they were fast
ened with clasp, not with buttons.
Perhaps some gentleman can answer
this question: Why do ladies like tC
wait on us better than their own sex
Because we are so easily pleased, or be
cause we do not really know what we
want?-Boston Herald

The energy of the Lachine Rapids
Hydraulic and Land company promises
soon to realize the anticipations OF
those who for years have been theoriz-
ing over the possibilities that were be-
ing allowed to go to waste in the far
famed waters The company's work
has been pushed with vig6r. It was
only last July that the company was
formed, and already their stock has
been well subscribed for, large con-
tracts have been awarded and great
progress made in the work. During the
winter they have been experimenting
on the possibility of keeping the La
chine rapids free from frazil ice and
a constant head, and in
this, it is learned, they have been sue
cessful. The original figures contem-
plated loss of three or four feet during
January or February, but they have been
able to maintain a constant height, so
that, in place of eight feet head they
will have 1t appears twelve feet, yield
ing in the neighborhood of 2OOOO-horse
power, and this at the same cost as the
original estimate for 8,O0O-horse power.

Would Benefit the Coal Business.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Gover-
nor McCorkle, of West Virginia,
appeared before the house COM
mittee on commerce Friday to sd-
vocate the construction of the
Nicaragua canal. He spoke in be-
half OF the coal interests Of his
own and adjacent states, declaring
that the section he represents
would be able to control the coal
markets of the Pacific coast of
North and South America with the
shipping facilities which would be
afforded by the canal. At present
all the coal used on the Pacific, he
stated, is mined in Australia,
Japan and Vancouver. He pre-
dicted that With the advancement
of the Japanese they would
monopolize the coal business OF
the coast, unless the canal should
be built, when freight rates would
enable West Virginia to under
sell the Japanese.
