AN OLD OIL CLOCK.

An interesting specimen of the old oil
clock used 4n-the 18th century -Mas
shown at the recent clock exhibition
in Berlin. This particular clock con-
sists of a tube OF glass in the outer
receiving frame. on which the hours
from 5 i'm the morning until in the
evening are indicated. The glass tube
is filled with OIL and the wick in the
receptacle consumes each hour just a
certain portion OF IT, which can be seen
by the numbers on the outer frame. and
the time OF day accordingly. OF course
this oil clock never had a reputation
for accuracy. bur in those days there
were no trains or steamships. and the
doctrine that time is money had not
been propounded.

TO COLONIZE CRUSOE'S LAND.

The island on which Robinson Cruz
soc was wrecked. and which now be-
longs to the Chilian government. is
about TO be turned into q settlement
Almost every one knows that when De-
foe drew his story of Crusoe IL was the
story of Alexander Selkirk and II is
remarkable how closely Defoe kept to
the facts Of Selkirk's existence on the
isle.
Even the story of Crusoes man Fri
day has foundation of truth in the
fact that Selkirk found and adopted a
stray Indian. This man had become
separated from party of Indians who
had landed on the island. and, having
lost himself I'm the woods was left be-
hind by his people. The death OF Sell
kinks solitary companion did not oc-
cur in such dramatic manner. how
ever. as did that OF Crusoes Friday. for
Selkirk's retainer was drowned while
fishing for his masters dinner
Barren as the place seemed To Sell
kirk when he was first marooned upon
". IL now contains many nourishing
spots. The fruit trees which he planted
more than two hundred years ago have
reproduced themselves. and peaches.
pears, ounces and grapes are to be
had I'm abundance. a man who had n
stock farm on the island for some rea-
son abandoned the undertaking several
years ago and turned his live stock
loose. The result is that cattle. sheep.
goats and pigs are now found there In a
wild state. SO that the new colonists are
likely to have some good sport IL they
have "a turn for hunting.
In additional TO this, the sea swarms
with Goldfish, which should provide
pleasant occupation for the anglers. The
settlers. therefore, are likely To be
abundantly supplied with meat. fish
and fruit
Up To the present time the island
form the nucleus Of the new settlement
which is i;.~ysIe Pacific Ocean, has been
occupied by few German and Chilian
families. numbering about fifteen per-
sons in all. IL IL now proposed by the
Chilian government 10 turn the island
into regular colony. and about one
hundred and fifty hardy Chiians will
form the nuclucs of the new settlement.
which IL Is proposed to christen "Crusoe
Island"

The lecture on "a Pilgrimage to Jeru-
SALEM which was TO have been given
at the Bell Street chapel last evening
by Miss Ruth a. Haskell. was, owing
to the severity of the storm, deferred
TO some later date. but Miss Haskell
gave q short talk to the few who had
braved the clements. on her experiences
while travelling in Spain. She spoke
first of the voyage across the ocean to
Gibraltar. stopping at the Azores, in
one of the German Lloyd line steamers
of the Mediterranean service. Her
hearers went across to Tangier with her
and then came back To Gibraltar, Ca
diZ, Seville, Cordova and as far north
as Madrid and Toledo.
She then described the Escurial, with
its palace. church. monastery and man
soleum, and then devoted some time to
the far-famed Alhambra, and succeed
ed in affording her hearers great deal
of pleasure.

where you may summer or winter free
from the vulgar gaze, but still in reach
Of any water resort in the world.
Indeed, this island is Il most accom-
mOdating spot. 1t is constructed so
that its platforms are high and dry
above water. where no wave can
splash. 1t has nc rocking motion and
is perfectly stable. Though 1t floats
upon alright casks, there is no danger
IF their puncturing. 1t can be lowed
upon any water and rolled upon any
land. In short, it is possible to use it
for any purpose conceivable where n
stable and safe float is demanded.
The island thai Mr.. Flanders has
built as an experimental model is
twelve feet by sixteen in size. On 1t
nineteen persons have been supported
without taxing its capacity. One man
with a rOwboat al move 1t about read
lily, while two persons can roll 1t high
and dry on the beach. 1t bears the
weight of n tree and a large number
of bushes and shrubs. while n good
sized tent erected on it affords protec-
ton from the weather for siz persons
at night.
OF curse you will not be limited as
to verdure. You have any number
of plants you desire. if you wish to
buy an island. or ran place any other
such restriction upon your order. In
short. you will be absolute monarch Of
all you survey.

Bank Cmciats Take Means to Protest
Their Treasure from Thieves.
1t Is said by a police official Mt City
fIall headquarters that some Of the
city banks. whose hoard of surplus
cash has been increasing largely Of
late, have been experimenting with an
expedient long in use by Bank of Eng
land officials of paying known crooks
for information of any contemplated
raid upon their vaults. The Bank Of
England's first experiment of this kind
dates from 1850, when the directors Of
the bank listened to Il startling PROPOSE
tion made by a ditch digger"
The laborer told the directors that he
had discovered a new and unsupported
method of getting into the cellar vaults.
where the gold and silver bars were
kept, and that he would sell his secret
to them for money. The directors hest
tated. believing that they had taken
every p%recaution against loss from the
vaults in putting up heavy masonry,
with plenty of iron bars, and by man
ming the building with armed watch
men. But finally they granted the man,
who seemed to talk fairly, a chance to
try his plan, and n night was named
for the undertaking.
At the appointed time n committee
of the directors descended to the cellar
and heard n peculiar scratching sound
under their feet. Two hours later the
floor opened and the ditch digger bob
bed up serenely. like the evil spirits in
thespectacu.ar drama. All around them
lay bars of precious metal, totaling in
value f3,O0O,OOO. The nan explained
satisfactorily how 1t was done, and as
a reward the directors assured him an
income for life on an Investment of
$4,000. The crook was content. and
1t is believed he remained honest ever
afterward.
But other cracksmen were tempted
by his luck to try the same game, and
the directors We're inundated with sug-
gestions and tips on new methods Of
burglary and how to prevent them.
Among other things. they paid $4,000
Tor a process. invented by n young
chemist. for copying the ink, paper,
watermarks and designs of the bank
notes so perfectly as to defy detection.
The directors found they could use his
system o satisfactorily and more
pro1tably than their own in the produe-
ton Of their currency.
Despite the fact that these expendi-
lures have run up into big figures in
the last half century. the directors Of
today say that all the money was we'll.

such precaution. There is no doubt
that whatever gave the first impulse
to burrow, many animals look upon
this to us most unpleasant cxertion as
n form of actual amusement. 1t also
confers a right to property.
Prairie dogs constantly set to work
to dig holes merely for the love of the
thing. II they ca1lnct have Il suitable
place to exercise their talent in they
will gnaw into boxes or chests of draw
ers and there burrow, to the great det-
riment of the clothes therein contain
ed. In an Enclosed prairie dog town
they have been known to mine until
the superintendent earth collapsed
and buried the greater number. A.
young prairie dog let loose in n small
gravel-tiOored house instantly dug a
hole large enough to sit in, turned
round in it and bit the first person who
attempted to touch him. Property gave
him courage. for before he had been
as meek as Il mouse.
1t is noticeable that the two weakest
and least q of our mice, the
dormOuse and the harvest mouse. do
not burrow, but make nests, and that
these do not multiply or maintain their
numbers like she burrowing mice and
voles. But the fact that there are
members of very closely allied species,
some Of which do burrow, while others
do not, seems to indicate that the habit
is an acquired one.
In this connection 1t is worth noting
that many animals which do not bur
row at other times form burrows in
which to conceal and protect their
young. or, if they do burrow, make a
different kind of a more elaborate
character. Among these nursery bur
rows are those of the dog, the fox and
sand martin. the k%ingfsher and the
sheldrake. Foxhound filters never do
SO well as when the mother is allowed
to make a burrow on the sunny side
of a straw stack. In time she will
work this five or six feet into the stack
and keep the puppies ut the far end,

Extravasant Dres. in England.

Members of the nobility in England
make Il great deal of pocket money by
writing for the papers and magazines.
One of these writer's is Lady Violet

the American women, fragile, beauti-

wearing Paris gowns and beautifully

them. That was the end of dinner
