ALUMINIUM CLOCK HANDS.
Substantial Advantages Attending
Their Use on Big Clocks.

Substantial Advantages Attending
Their Use ON Big Clocks.
Aluminium is now used in making
clock hands, for which it is an: ideal ma
teriaL The pointers of great clocks
were formerly made of soft wood, says
and exchange. For these were substi-
tuted pointers made of thin sheets of
copper, pointer being composed of
two strips, which were cupped or hol-
lowed, and then brought together edge
to edge, with the rounded sides out,
thus giving rigidity as well as lightness.
Aluminium pointers for big; clocks are
made in this way, but they are far
lighter and easier to balance.
It is not unusual, on large clocks in
windows and elsewhere, to see pro-
jecting from the baseof the long pointer
and in line with the rod with it a ball at
the end, this rod being perhaps third
as long as the big pointer. This rod
and ball are counterweight for the
big pointer, which, without counter
weight, would, in it's movement around
the DIAL bear unevenly upon the arbor
Or shaft which carries it. On great
clocks, and often on big clocks indoors,
this counterpoise is placed inside the
dial, out of sight, on the arbor.
: The heavier the pointer the greater
the weight quiredt in the counter
poise; the greater the weight the more
friction on the arbor; and the more
friction the greater power required to
drive the clock. BY the use of alumni
iu1n pointers these drawbacks are re-
dllced to minimum.

A BULLS GOOD APPETITE.

He Is Accused Of Eating 500 Bushels
Of Apples in a Night.
Col. Deevers was one of the most ce1e-
brated characters in central Ohio. He
was nothing if not prodigal in his gen
crosby, his flow of language, his wealth
of imagination. The colonel never ex-
planned how he got his title, but he al
ways insisted on being addressed by
that title.
On one occasion, says local ex-
change, the colonel employed a lawyer
to attend to trifing matter for him
and promised a speedy settlement. of
the account. Time went by and the
colonel failed to keep his world The
lawyer stirred the colonel up about it
the next time he saw him in town, and
the upshot of it was that the colonel
agreed to send the lawyer dozen bush
els OF the finest apples in Ohio. But no
apples came to the lawyer. One day he
saw the colonel in town and imm ediate-
ly bore down on him for an explana-
ton. He got it. The colonel, taking his
friend by the lapel of his coat, said, i'm
pressively:
Mr.. Williams, I fully expected to
send you those apples. had 'em, sir;
yes, Sir, 300 bushels of the finest apples
ever raised in the state of Ohio. I had
'em all cribbed up, and one night a
derned little yearlin' bull broke in and
eat 'em all up. Yes, sir, ever last one of
'em." $685. ..,.- q. -.. -.

the second half was a woman. It went

was also a couple. So that there was a

Then there was three couples. Said the
man part of the first couple:
we have caught enough fish,
"Then it sat down together, and it
put it's arms around it and said:
"'Oh, my donFt!'
"But it didn't act as if it cared much.

stopped. This couple was very singular
for awhile, but finally she said to- it:

Russia Can Place a Mighty Military
Force in the Field.

Russia Can Place a Mighty Military
Force in the Field.
The army of the car is composed of
Fl corps d'arme divided up into IA con-
scriptions. The strength of each corps
is about $4,000 men. The infantry com
prises about 165 regiments of the line,
20'regiments of chasseurs, Is regiments
of grenadiers and IL regiments of the
guard. This is a very fine army, well
organized, of great resisting power and
prodigious tenacity, says the Detroit
Free Press. It is armed with repeat
ing rifle very much like the French L.
bel, and which is highly esteemed by the
Russian generals. The artillery is com
posed of SO siege batteries, 1914 field
batteries, Is mountain batteries, 43 bat
teries, a cheval and three mortar regi-
n,ents-altogether nearly 5000 light
pieces and 1900 siege guns.
Besides this there are brigades of
engineers, military train, railroad cleo
tricians, torpedoists, velocipedists, po-
lice, etc. AS to the imperial cavalry it is
we'll known to be one of the finest and
by far the most considerable in Europe.
1t is composed of regulars and regi.
ments like Cossachs, for example, who
enjoy certain degree of independence
and some privileges and who yet submit
to the usual discipline. This cavalry is
divided into ,671 squadrons, of which $50
are regular cavalry, cuirassiers,
dragons, uhlans and hussars and 31e
Cossacks. '. sts9s.z -
