Municipal Time at Glasgow.

One Of the most interesting Of Glas-
gov enterprises is what may be de-
scribed as municipal time for the entire
city. Some years ago the experiment
was tried Of placing municipal clocks
IN prominent positions all over Glasgow
and regulating them by synchroniza-
ton. The present scheme is much more
elaborate and is nothing less than the
establishment of a system Of standard
time, by means Of electrically controlled
clocks, regulated every second from the
stellar clock at the observatory. A reg
ulating clock, directly controlled from
the observatory, has been placed in the
city chambers, and this i'll turn controls
three circuits Of public clocks at vari-
Gus points in the city. In the meantime
only about a dozen clocks have been
provided, but if the trial proves sue
cessful the corporation intends to erect
from 200 to 300 Is inch dials, thus pro.
vldlng "a reliable system Of standard
time for all parts of the city. This ex
tension OF the circuit will involve the
laying Of 81 miles Of wire. 1t is hoped
nlso to include time keeping in private
houses. Westminster Gazette.

THAT JUMP.
They Can Throw Themselves Several Inche
Into the Air.

Into the Air.
The curious movements Of jumping
beans have lately attracted some atten-
ton. though to style the spasmodic
jerks Of the beans jumps is to court
disappointment. Some jumping CO.
coons, p" described by DR.. ID. Sharp in
The Entomologist were, however, re-
markably good athletes, for they could
spring out Of q small vessel, such as a
tumbler, in which they were placed.
These cocoons were from South Africa,
but i'll spite of their exceptional gym
nastic efficiency DR.. Sharp hardened his
heart and sacrificed them upon the altar
of science, i'll the hope Of discovering
something unusual that would explain
the powers OF jumping.
The cocoons looked like a piece Of
oval pottery. about 5 millimeters long,
and having a rough surface. In each of
the two Investigated q pupa was found.
The two were similar in every respect,
and they no doubt belonged to the larvae
that made the cocoons. This little
pupa,' says DR.. Sharp, lis shut up i'll
n remarkably hard, thick cocoon, and it
has TO get out. Nature has not provided
it with caustic potash for the purpose,
but has endowed it with a mechanism
of complex perfection to accomplish this
little object. On the front of the head
it has a sharp, chisel edge, and with
this it has to cut through the pottery,
contracting itself to the utmost in the
posterior part of the cocoon and retain
ing itself in this position by the hooks
on the mobile part Of the body. 1t is a
condition Of elastic tension in conse-
quence Of the other side of the body be-
ing so differently formed and immobile.
Therefore, releasing the hold Of the
hooks, the pupa is discharged forward,
and the chisel piece strikes the front
part of the cocoon. Repeating this an
enormous number Of times, a circle may
be gradually inscribed on the inside Of
the far end Of the cocoon, which gives
way when sufficiently weakened and
the insect becomes free. Im both the
specimens the inside of the cocoon is
about half cut through. Either this is
done as the result of a prolonged series
of wriggles or of shocks such as | have
described. 1t is by no means improbable
that the early part of the performance is
carving the groove by wriggling, the
latter part knocking it off by jumping
against it" The pupa is thus a most
interesting Il to entomologists. The
order Of insects to which it belongs APP
pears to be somewhat uncertain, but DR..
Sharp thinks it will prove to be an
anomalous lepidopterous insect allied to
trichoptera, and possibly somewhere
near to adela.

A PURITAN THANKSGIVING.
The Model Bill of Fare For Their Annual
Feast.

The Model Bill of Fare For Their Annual
Feast.
We have nc record Of just how the
Puritans' Thanksgiving tables were set,
but from contemporaneous pictures W.
can judge that there were few, if any,
forks, each guest being supplied with q
knife. They sat on benches and chests,
ate from pewter platters, and the table
was in most cases literally a board
placed on wooden horses. They had few
chairs or tables, but were plentifully
supplied with chests containing their
linen and wardrobes, and these served
in the place Of chairs. In later colonial
times chairs and tables became more
plentiful and forks were more common,
but all preferred to eat with their knives
on accOun Of the dangerous, sharp, steel
points Of the Two pronged forks. The
table and dishes were arranged as fol-
lows:

Imnroxine ON the Machete.

The machete, in the hands of the insur-
gent Cubans, is a knife about two feet long,
with blade very slightly curved at the
end and unprovided with hand guard. 1t
is q deadly weapon for close fighting, but
has the disadvantage of being only o cutting
knife.
1t cannot be used to advantage for thrust
ing. These disadvantages have been real
lied in actual warfare, says the New York
Herald, and consequently the insurgents
have placed an order with German and
English firms for the manufacture and ship
ment TO Cuba Of . weapon that the insnr-
gents have decided is the ideal one for their
use. It is q machete with q short hand
guard and blade % inches long and two
and a half inches across in the widest part.
1t will make weapon that in the hands OF
men who have been used from bOyho0d to
welding a heavy cutting implement, will
prove deadly one at close quarters.
The still more elaborate machetes that are
made for the use of officers are shaped more
like an ordinary army sword than machete
These officers swords look prettier than
the ugly business-like machetes made for the
rank and file, but the officers themselves do
not take kindly to them, preferring weapon
that is guaranteed in the right hand to de-
capitate man rs easily as q knife slices 9

Gen. Claassen Dead.

Gen. Peter j. Claassen died at his home in
Brooklyn, N. Y, Tuesday. Dec 20. of Brights
disease, aged So Gen. Claassen was born in
Arenheim, Holland, and was graduate of the
University of Heidelberg. He came to this
country when % years old. and invested his
small capital in the brokerage business. On
the breaking out of the war he gave up his
business and assisted in the organization of the
9th N. Y. He went to the front as Captain of
Co. A of that regiment. and after serving q
year returned to this city and organized the
1920 N. Y. He returned to the front as Colonel
Of his regiment, and served with credit to the
close of the war, retiring with the rank of Bre-
vet Brigadier-G General. He resumed his brok-
erase business, aud finally became q Director
in the Sixth National Bank.
When the bank failed in 1890 the invcstiga-
ton of it's affairs showed that Gen. Claassen
and some OF his fellow directors had not only
made false returns of the surplus and deposits,
but had misspplied the funds. Gen. Claassen,
was indicted, and in March, 1891, was tried and
convicted. He was sentenced to six years inn
prisonment. An effort was made to secure for
him new trial, but it failed His health broke
down in prison, and his friends appealed to
President Cleveland and secured his pardon in
August, 1893. Since his release he has been
living quietly at his home in Brook yn with
his wife aud daughter, who survive him.
