A New French Clock

The geographical bureau of the
French army has adopted and urges
for general use a clock in which the
decimal eystem is employed. The deci-
NAL is a passion with the French. On
the face of the new watch our old
friends eleven and twleve o'clock are
no longer to be seen, the numerals from
to 10 being employed. The day, from
midnight to the midnight following. is
to be divided into 100 equal parts,
known as "ces." The subdivisions, ac-
cording to the decimal plan, are "deci-
ces," or tenths, "centices," or hum
dredths, "millices," or thousandths.
One of the main divisions, the "ces," is
equal to IA minutes and "a seconds, or
almost a quarter of an hour. It is
urged that under this system the labor
of calculation will be diminished by
two-thirds, and the chances of mathe-
matical error from to /. It will be
a long time, however, before the gen.
eral public will agree that rs ces, or its
decimal equivalent, sounds as we'll al

A coBsLER PRINCE.
Britaln's Heir Apparent Learned the

Britaln's Heir Apparent Learned the
Shoemaker's Trade When Youth.
Custom forces the crowned heads of
Europe to remain mere amateurs in
the arts, professions or trades they fan
cied in youth, or which they we're
obliged to practise, owing to the prac-
tical ideas of wise parents, who may
have 'foreseen that thrones have way
of disappearing in these enlightened
days. Queen Marguerite of Italy is a
fine musician, and could earn her living
as music teacher; the Car of Russia
Is an expert cabinetmaker, and has
made two or three excellent violins,
while the Kaiser of Germany is said to
be jack Of all trades and postmaster
Of all arts. He can make anything
from drama and a painting to line
of-battle ship. But it remains for the
world to hear of royal shoemaker in
the person Of the Prince of Wales. A
Russian nobleman turned cobbler in
the person of Count Leon Tolstoi, and,
according to the London Woman at
Home, it has now been discovered that
Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, heir
apparent to the throne of Great Brit
ain, can turn out pair of patent leath-
ers or hunting boots with the best of
English shoemakers. The Queen of
England and the Prince Consort, it ap-
pears, wished that each Of their chill
dren should learn some useful trade or
occupation, and the Prince of Wales
chose shoemaking for his trade, and
acquired such degree of proficiency
that boots made by his hands were the
pride of his fellow workmen, as they
were the envy of his friends at court.
The Prince has never sought to
coneal his talent, and even today
examines with the eye of connoisseur
the shoes sent him by the furnishers.
And that is why Albert Edward is the
hest-shOd man in ENGLAND.

of Grand Ridge, is gradually drying up
or running OF, an event that occurs
about every four or five years. The
lake is half mile long and about 200
yards wide and has an average depth Of
twenty feet. An old settler declares
that the lake once ran out so fast that
its roar and whir were heard at his
house, more than a mile away, and
after few days the lake was refllled
from a subterraneon source almost as
rapidly. When the lake is dry. the
lake bed is stocked with an abundance
of fish. There is always good fishing

ne said. You're very curious, for a
wonder. But there is NO reason now
why should not tell you about 1t
and even show the working of the ma
chine. And you can prepare yourself
to be very much astonished."
He was right in saying that was
very curious about his machine. 1 was;
and following his instructions, was
In the garden the next afternoon at
o'clock, anxious to see the invention
that was to revolutionize the world.
When he came he brought with him
bicycle.
Hello" he cried, as soon as he saw
me. What do you think of this? A
beauty, isn't it,"
looked. 1t was not an ordinary
bicycle. but one more heavily built,
with numerous additional cogs and
cranks and an air cylinder like that Of
an air brake.
What on earth is this clumsy thing
for?" ! exclaimed
Clumsy be hanged" he replied. ir-
ritably. My dear fellow. II you will
start criticising anything before you
understand it. how can you ever ex-
pect to get on in life? Now, follow me
and will explain it all. You remem-
ber my remarking some weeks ago
how extraordinary it was that as yet
| ho1 ho s~to <n tn
vent travelling machine which could
surmount obstacles in its path, like a
horse, by jumping over them. Very
we'll; here you have the first mechan-
ical invention to do SO. This bicycle
is not an ordinary wheel, which loses
half its usefulness and charm by being
compelled to keep to the roads. This
is the famous jumping bicycle have
had in my head SO long. Observe, this
cylinder is full of air at a high pres
sure. AS you see by this little gauge,
it now stands at $50 pounds to the
square inch. The cylinder is con-
structed to bear pressure of 400.
These four bars with joints in them are
connected with the cylinder by means
of the cranks and cogs which you see;
they play the part of a horses legs;
the joints are, Of course, the knees.
Now, how simple the whole thing is.
At my right hand have tiny lever,
with the powers msrked easy
Strong and full Oh, by the way,
forgot to remark that, as even you
can possibly understand, there is an
immense waste of power in the or
binary bicycle. Going down a steep
hill, for instance, enough power is
generated to run the bicycle ON level
road for four to five miles. All this
hitherto wasted energy have uti-
lized in COMPRISING the air in the CYL

press the lever to easy and the ma

eighteen inches, while the forward
impetus carries US easily to the other
side. II put the lever on strong

while the full power means leap Of

The Three Friend. Case.

Jacksonville. Fla, Jan. 20. = Judge
Locke, of the United States court for
the Southern district of Florida, has
rendered his decision in the Three
Friends case upon the exception of the
defense to the libel of the government
for violating neutrality laws. The
point was raised by counsel for the
defense that inasmuch as the Cuban
insurgents had not been recognized
by the United States government they
were neither people nor a body poll
tic. This was sustained by Judge
Locke, and the district attorney was
given ten days in which to file an
amended libel.
