Queer Result of a Cycle Accident

At Sydenham, Christchurch, New
Zealand, a cyclist named William Har-
per, when riding home after attending
dance, ran full speed into a night
cart which was standing parallel with
the footpath, resulting in his almost
instantaneous death. No evidence of
external injury was apparent about
the deceased, but an autopsy revealed
the fact that hisaliser was completely
torn in two. Being a member of the.
Cycling Volunteer company, he was
accorded military funeral, at which
over ten thousand people were pres:

A novelty in a clock is announced
which has no special merit except as
a curiosity. The object of new in7en-
tions in the clock line is to avoid
frequent winding, while at the same
time maintaining the regularity that
constitutes the CHEF value Of clock.
This device is somewhat on the hour
glass order. 1t registers the time &C.
curately by the running of the mer-
curry from one end Of the glass 10 the
other. The clock is built in two sec
tions, and an indicator marks the pre-
else time consumed by the mercury
in passing from the upper to the low
er. This clock must be turned when
the lower section is emptied, which
is really about as much work as wind
ing the clock. The novelty, however,
may appeal to many tastes.-New

LOSSES FROM SHEEP SO Alb.

The losses from sheep scab in
home industry have been, and still
are, very severe in most sheep raising
countries. They are due to the she'd
ding Of the wool, the loss of condi-
ton and death of the sheep in vast
numbers annually. In the United
States some sections have been over
run with sheep scab. and many per-
sons engaged in the sheep industry
have been forced to forsake it because
of their losses from this disease. In

The large focks of the Western States
have suffered severely, and are con-

the great stock yards of this country.
AS consequence, this marketing OF

continually infected, and any sheep
purchased in these markets are, un-

distribution of the contagion, and
thousands of persons who know little
