Death of "Mother ShiutOn."

Mother Shipton is dead; at any rate
the real author of her famous prophe-
cles is no more. In other words, the
book-sel!ing world has to deplorc the
loss Of Charles Hindley, who long ago
confessed to the innocent imposture.
He wrote a good deal in one day or

In books, but Mother Shipton was his
most famous achievement. He died at

and | followed. hoping she would at

house she led the way to a corner of the
veranda and there the words and voice
OF the wonderful singer reached our
ears and entered our hearts.

She mastered herself in a moment.

Three mechanical movements arc
herewith shown, relating to that class
known as escapements. In the first is
shown a pendulum movement known
as a repose or dead beat escapement
wherein the central escapement wheel
is alternately engaged upon opposite
sides by the pendulum projections.
The central movement is known as a
detached escapemeHt, in that the pen
dulum swings free OF the star-shaped
escapcment wheel, except at the time
of receiving the impulse and unlocking
the wheel. The leAdulum rides dead
in returning as the click works on a
pivot to escape the depending bar. The
third illustration shows a single pin
escapement, in which the pin escapes
the vertical faces within the pendulum.
