One of our boys who doesn't own a
watch writes about how he tells the
lime of day. He works in a wheat ele-
Fator in an Iowa town. A big window
almost fills n side Of his little office.
Into a corner of the window creeps the
sunlight early in the morning and It
shines in all day long and creeps out of
The other corner in the evening. On the
aoor where the edge Of the shadow
from the window sash falls just at noon
our boy has placed a long chalk mark
and a little further away there 10 an
pther mark for l o'clock. and so on up
to 8. The forenoon Is similarly divid.
ed on the floor. Each day by simply
looking ct the edge Of the sun's light
he can tell what time 1t Is. Once 10
two weeks'l 'ianges all these marks
because the / lows change al the sun
gets higher in the spring or lower in the
all.
This clever deyice-any of you may
use it-suggests the way that the IA
tives of Liberia In Africa, who have NO
clocks, tell the time. They take the
kernels from the nuts of the candle
tree and wash and string them on tho
rib of a palm leaf. The first or top kerr
mel ia then lighted. All Of the kernels
are of the same size and substance,
and each will burn a certain number
of minutes and then set FIRE to the one
next below. The natives tie pieces Of
" .-.--
the string to mark the divisions Of
time. Among the natives Of singar. In
the Malay archipelago, another pecu-
liar device is used. Two bottles are
placed neck and neck, and sand IL put
In one of them, which pours itself into
the other every half-hour, when the
bottles are reversed.-Chicaso Record

It is in itself 8 food and has power to digest other food taken with it. Thus it rests the diseased stomach and finally masters the worst cases of dyspepsia.
