THE COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS.

The commencement address was do
livered by Hon. b. 8. Rodey, OF Albn
querque, and while he was unfortunate
In having his time encrOsched upon, he
convinced The people that he had some.
thing to say, and knew how to say 1t.
There was no hint OF cut-and dried Of
fort In his address, but q sort OF
quiet, spontaneous numOr that was
greeted with much enthusiasm. Nor
was there wanting some touches really
grand. His description OF the condition
OF the working classes under present in
dustrial conditions was one Of the hest II
has been 0ur good fortune TO hear for
come time. Mr.. Rodey WAS weak In
none OF the particulars that go to make
up n pleasing and correct speaker, and
altogether left a most pleasing impress
sion upon the minds Of his auditors.

THIS CLOCK RUNS FOR A YEAR.
Is Wound Only Once Every Twelve
Months,

A clock that viii run for a year without
attention is the interesting invention Of
Peter NJ. Ravenskilde of Cabery, Ill. The
clock, which is an accurate timekeeper,
was started going in August, 1898, and
has run ever since, its owner claims with
out any attention from him, and has been
as methodical in its actions as the sun.
The clock is the product of many years
of study and labor, and has cost its owner
considerable money. The clock proper is
run with a wheel sixty inches in cireum-
ference. From the outer surface of the
circumference are suspended 120 cups.
each one-half inch in diameter. and a third
of an inch deep. Each of forty of these
cups, which are successive, contain steel
balls three-eighths of an inch in diameter.
Every minute and a half as the wheel
turns by the weight of these balls, one OF
them falls out of it's cup, rolls down an
inclined plane twenty inches long, when.
by its own weight, it reunites a broken
circuit of electricity and is again elevated
by a little car travelling along a sleeper
inclined plane to the top of the wheel,
where it falls into a cup which stands
vertical for a short time. After the car
discharges its cargo it returns to Its org
inal station from it's own weight. From
the time one of these balls is dropped
into a cup until 1t is again dropped into
another cup, it travels thirty-siX inches
Thus the work done by all the balls IS
equivalent to one ball travelling over one
mile day, 400 miles in one year, and dur
ing the lifetime of a person living three
score years, the distance around the
globe.
The electricity used Is generated in an
ordinary storage battery, which does not
require any attention for fully year.
Mr.. Ravenskilde has been asked to eA-
hibit his clock at the Paris exposition,
but has declined to do so.

all the evening she had carried with her
the recollection of the pathetic gratitude
in John Armstrong; gray eyes when she
told him that he was assigned to Miss
Harlowe. She gave an unoffending yellow
soft pillow a vicious dig, which might
have led one to suppose that for a mo-
mcnt she had transformed il into Miss
Harlowes golden head. Then she gave
her husband a hug and a Kiss as if 10

is able TO take care of himself
But Mrs. West knew he wasn't.
Philippa was sleeping the sleep of the
just Probably it was the sleeplessness
of the unjust that John Armstrong was
experiencing.
He had been warned. Other moths who
had luttered about the flame exhibited
their sinSed wings, or eXpauated on the
altogether wingless condition of still more
unfortunate victims. But where is the
moth that was ever saved by good ad-
vice?
she is as beautiful as picture, and
with about as much heart" said Trav-
ers.
she is beautiful. and she has a heart
to match her face" replied Armstrong.
You fellows have never been able to
reach it. that's all. She isn't a woman
to be lightly won, and I like her for it,
Lightly won. Good heavens! That's
just it, she doesn't want to be won, she
only wants 10 be wooed. John, my boy,
l admire your delicious self-conceit and
your stubborness, but l tell you she is
just playing with you.''
Il do not care to discuss NJ SIS Har'owe
any further" said Armstrong, coldly.
And Travers knew that he had said as
much as he dared.
Phillipa sat in her drawing room wait
ing for John Armstrong. She was smil-
ing to herself as she remembered that
she had told three men she would not be
at horne tonight.
He comes out of his shell when there
is no one else here" she said to herself
What a great, noble head he had! And
what a will! l Will tell him about the
other men,"
He came directly and she welcomed
him very sweetly; but as she looked in
