Clocks in High Buildings,

There Is one disadvantage about very
tall buildings which is just now being
noticed by the occupants. 1t involves
some annoyance to those who have not
made provision for it.
The trouble is the stopping Of pendu-
lum clocks by ths vibration Of the
buildings. Many pendulum clock that
has kept accurate time for years in old
fashioned low structures has refused tC
run at all when moved into some one OF
the new tall steel-framed buildings il
the lower part of the city. On the
lower floors of the buildings the clocks
run fairly well, but when higher up in
the buildings they become more whim,
steal and on the top floors will not run
at all.
Mr.. Dunn, of the weather bureau, has
a fine pendulum clock in the tower OF
the Manhattan Life Building, which
has not done an honest days work since
the weather bureau was moved into the
new offices. 1t has stopped so often
that it is no longer to be relied upon
The pendulum swings continually, but
only from the vibration of the building
as the clock has not been wound for
weeks. The only relief is in repla cine
the pendulum clocks with others that
have balance wheels.
The Winslow mail., 1897-03-27
Two Billions for Pensions,

One of the most striking facts in the
report Of the Interior Department is
that during the last thirty-one years, or
since the close of the civil war in 1865,
the government has paid out for pen
sions, including the cost Of distributing
| them, the enormous sum of $2,034 ,S17,
769.
The amount paid last year, $138, PA,
1914, was nearly 100000 less than
that of the previous year, and far below
that of 1893 Still, once more the pro-
digious annual sum of Sal 100000,
which is more than double the average
of the thirty-one years, Is required, that
being the estimate for the twelve
months beginning July 1, 1897. 1t is,
therefore, absolutely certain that the
aggregate pension outlay since the war
will, within three or four years, have
exceeded the amount of the whole in
terest-bearing public debt, when at it's
climax. In fact, two and half years
more at the present rate of appropria-
tions will put the pension expenditures
at the top.
How is it that, nearly generation
after the close of the war, the pension
outlay is fivefold greater than it was a
dozen years after the war? For, in
1875, it was, if we have the correct
figures, only $29, ,456, ,212; the next year,
SOS, ,257 1896; the year following, $27,-
963, 752; the year after that, $27, ,137, ,O19.
The causes are three, one being the
