FAMOUS TIMEPIECES.
CLOCKS OF STRANGE MECHANISM
AND CONSTRUCTION.

Many Curious Time Measures - Geneva
Mechanics Have Done Some Wonderful
Work - Thoro Are Seven Millions Of
Clocks In the United States.
While there are 1000, 900 clocks In the
United States and probably ten times that
number in the world, there are some clocks
which, because of their peculiar working,
attract much attention. The first COM
plete clock known was made In the thir-
tenth century by Saracen mechanic
King Alfred In 1877 measured time by wax
tapers. The escapement was invented
about the year 1000 by Gerbert. The first
accurate clock was set up at Hampton
court in 1540, marked by its maker IN.
O." The first astronomical clock was
made about 1900
Clocks were first illuminated, so that
the hour could be read at night, in 1926
and the first of this kind was placed in St.
Brides, London, In that year. Clocks
were first synchronized by Messrs Barraud
& Lund SO that they could be regulated by
an electric wire from standard clock, and
In November 1878, they put into operation
in London an electric circuit of 10S clocks.
The first clock regulated by pendulum
was made in 1889 by the son of Galilei.
Richard Harris placed clock of this kind
In st. Paul's IN 1914, and Christian Huy-
gems made good ones previous to $685. The
first clock to strike the hour was placed In
Westminster In 1868.
A curious timepioce was the one John
Harrison of Foulby England, made in
1918, Harrison was an early expert and
won a reward of 500, 900 offered by tho
board OF longitude for u method of deter
mining the longitude at SEA. This clock
was not like the others, for 1t was made
with the sole intention of beinga curiosity.
Every part of it was of wood, with the ex-
ception of the cscapement, which he found
could not be made to work If constructed
of wood, It, however was n success, for,
although made nearly two centuries ago,
it was running in 1871 at the patent mu-
scum at South Kensington. 1t struck the
hours and indicated the day of the month
and was an eight day clock.
A strange clock left by Fardoll is not
only curiosity, but it is also admired as
n work of art, and 1t, moreover, kept good
time, although the mechanism required is
necessarily complicated 1t Is in shape like
fan, and the time is shown by blades
openinp progressively, which, when all arc
suraad. close at the twelfth hour The time
covered is from G to 6, 10 blades being
necessary to show the u hours. The hour
is drnoted by the number of blades that
are exposed.
AT o'clock the fan is entirely closed.
As time progresses the first blade moves
slowly upward, uncOvcrinr the next, until

Mrs. Hubbard Dashed to Pieces at Clay
ton, Mo.
St. Louis, Aug. 29.-Mrs. George w.
Hubbard, known professionally as Vic
toria Leroy, fell from her balloon Fri
day at Clayton, st. Louis county, dis
lance of $500 feet. During each day OF
the county fair at Clayton this week she
has made successful ascensions. At
five o'clock Friday evening she had as,
cended about 60 feet when her para
chute became detached and fell to the
ground. The balloon shot up rapidly.
The woman, in an effort to catch the
parachute, had partly fallen and was
hanging with one arm hooked over the
trapese bar. When the balloon was al
most lost in the clouds dark speck
was seen to drop from it, and the 5000
spectators groaned in unison. The
frantic husband rushed into his tent and
seized pistol. AS he pulled the trig-
ger with the weapon pointed at his
heart his arm was seized and his life
was saved.
The whirling form of the unfortunate
woman crashed through the top Of
large elm with awful force. Her back
was broken, she was disemboweled and
her brains were scattered all over the
trees branches. She was 26 years old
end had considerable experience as an
aeronaut, having devoted the past
eight years of herlife to the perilous art
of navigating the air. She had made
over 200 ascensions. Three times she
met with serious accidents and was
slightly injured on several occasions.
The awful accident created scene of
wild excitement at the fair, women
screaming and fainting, while men
stood breathless at the terrible catas-
trophe.

Milwaukee Convention.
milwaukee,, Aug. 27-The national
convention Of the League of Republican
Clubs concluded it's business at the ses-
sion Wednesday, and will meet at De-
troit the second Tuesday In July next.

element arising over the contest for
the presidency. This was confined to
Charles U. Gordon, of Illinois, and D. D.

league man, the former recent worker
in the ranks. Woodmansee was elected
by the very close vote of $40 to 504.
When the roll call of states on the bal.
lot was concluded, Mr.. Gordon led his
opponent by about 100, but Woodman-
sees friends succeeded in having the

the rules. This action was followed by
changes sufficient to elect Woodmansee.

candidate for the position of secretary
against NJ. J. Bowling, again presented
by Minnesota. Mr.. Bowling was elected
by nearly unanimous vote. Owen re.
ceiving but 100 to his 1888.

the st. Louis platform and ticket, and
pledged hearty support to Mckinley
and Hobert. The proposition for bien-
NAL sessions was shelved, and free coin

to be condemned.
