Latest Alarm CLOCK.

A new kind of alarm clock is to be
seen at Tiffany's in New York. It is g
beautiful gilt photograph clock, in the
style Of Louis XIV. When the hour for
which it is set arrives. a little door
opens and the notes of the familiar
reveille bugle call are heard; then a
voice follows with this greeting: Good
morning. present my COMPLIMENT
and respects, and hope you are enjoy
ing good health. Good day" The ar.
ticulation is very distinct, but the voice
has decided Partisan twang, which
reveals the nationality Of the speaker

FARMER AND MEoAPHoME.

A Pilot on Boat Stops Horse In q
Cornheld Near BY.
i was on the upper Ohio last sum-
mer when the river was low and was
much amused over the use to which a
pilot put megaphone, says the Gin
cinnati Commercial Tribune. He
bought the thing to call ashore any
message that might nave been given
the boat to carry. This was to save
time, for those little boats in the 10.
cal trades are a great deal like the
old-fashioned mail carriers-anything
to accommodate the people along the
bank. We were in the pilothouse and
the boat was running up chute near
the West Virginia side Of the river.
In cornfield was old farmer, who was
following plow behind an old flea
bitten gray that only needed a half
invitation to stop at any time. The
pilot put the megaphone to his mouth
and shouted, 'Whoa!' and the old gray
whoaed. The farmer heard the sound
and he thought, evidently, that
neighbor was there or whereabouts, for
he looked around to see from whence
the sound came. Then he tossed clod
at the old horse and started him up.
'Whoa!' said the pilot and again the
old horse stopped. Then the old reub
went to the river bank and looked
down in the willows, but not soul
could be seen. He looked up and
down and then at the steamboat and
scratched his head in surprise. He
couldn't afford to waste any time in
looking for the ghost, for he went back
to the plow and started on with his
job. Once more the joking pilot said
Whoa and again the horse stopped
dead still. You could see from the
boat that the old fellow was all mixed
up, for he looked up and down the
river and then at the hillside behind
him to see If he could find the man
who was working him and his old
horse, He made up his mind that he
would take it out of the.,old gray, and
to fix for the occasion he went to tho
underbrush and cut stick that was
ten feet long. He started the horse
with a vengeance. When the pilot
hollered Whoa again the old man
gave the gray lick that sounded clear
to the boat. We could almost hear him
say: Thar, darn you, I'll teach you
to stop when you hear a spook holler-
in at ye.' But the pilot kept up the
good work and hollered whoa. whoa,
whoa, and again and again the old man
hit the gray. Finally it looked as If
he had caught on, for he let the old
horse stop while he watched the boat.
Then the pilot thought he had had
enough fun and he called out: Feed
the old gray; feed him. He's so hun
CRY that he can't work. That's all the
matter with him. Then the old reub
got his voice and we heard him say:
You go to thunder with your old
voice. It'd stop railroad train any
whereg.'"

New Process of DIamond-Makrng.

DR.. Quirino Majorana, an Italian
chemint, has succeeded in producing
minute artificial diamonds in a man
ner differing, in one important partic-
ular, from the method of Monsieur
Moissan, the French chemist. Doctor
Majorana heats a piece of carbon with
the electric arc, and then submits it to
a sudden pressure developed by ex-
plosion driving piston, and amount
ing to 5000 times the ordinary pres
sure Of the atmosphere. In the mass
of carbon thus treated he finds mi
croscopic crystals which answer the
tests for diamonds. Moissan's method
is to first dissolve carbon in molten
iron and then allow the iron to cool
under great pressure. The Italian
chemists experiments indicate that
great heat and great pressure are suf-
ficient to transform ordinary carbon
into the diamond form without a me-
tallic solvent

While You Rest

Do a little thinking about
the cost of gas lighting and
cooking. With gas at SLIGO
per thousand, you get St feet
for one cent. You can get "a
candle power for five feet OF
gas properly burned in a good
burner. This makes you a
tirst-class light of "a candle
power for five-sixths cents per
hour, or light equal to an
average electric light for
about / cent per hour. Again,
take an improved Welsback
burner, consumes 8 feet per
hour, gives 50 candle power.
Just think, an so candle pow
er light for cent per hour,
Ponder this over. 1t is the
cheapest artificial lighting
agent known. II you are not
convinced, call at the Gas Of
fee. 271s Washington avenue,
and we will prove it to you.
AS to cooking, gas at 81 per
thousand il not half as e1-
pensive, as coal at $3.50 por

ent prices. Coal oil and Saso-
line are not to be mentioned
in the same week ms gas for

Hampton roads.

Chickamauga. Chattanooga National
Military Park, Ga, Aug. 80. Judging
from present indications, Camp
THOMAS, the largest military camp of
the Spanish American war, will soon
be thing Of the past. A number of
regiments have already been ordered
home. A number of others have been
,ordered to Knoxville and to Lexington,
KY, and now comes an order to Gen.
leral Wheeler, chief quartermaster, to
secure bids from railroads to.transport
all regiments in the camp to their re.
1spective state camps. The idea seems
to be to get the regiments to places
where they can be mustered out close
to home, the necessity for keeping the
army intact being no longer in. evi.
dence.
Numerous regiments are now max
ing preparations to leave and by the
end OF the week the population of the
scampsis expected to be reduced to one
half of what it now is. The regiments
ordered to Knoxville and Lexington
will be moved as rapidly as. transporta-
ton can be secured and as soon as these
are gotten out those ordered home will
be started on their way. The First
Georgia and Thirty first Michigan left
at midnight for Knoxville, where they
will go intoecamp. The Twelfth Min
!nesota and the Fifth Pennsylvania will
leave at an7esrly hour fer Lexington
and others of the Second and Third
division of the FIRST corps swill follow
in short order.
