A GeniuH in Prison.

There are number of geniuses in
Sing Sing, and foremost among them
is John A. Howard, an Englishman,
who, in 1894, was sentenced to term
of nine years and five months. The dis
covery of this genius was an accident,
and is interesting Several years ago
there was fire in the prison, and ma
chine used for picking hair was almost
totally destroyed. The machine was of
complicated design, and was made
abroad at cost of $500. After the fire
the debris was cast on scrap heap and
nothing more was thought of it.
One morning Howard asked Col. Sage
If he would like to have the picking ma
shine repaired. He said that although
not acquainted with the work he felt
sure that he could reconstruct the ma
chine. Permission was given him, and
he set to work. He made all his own
tools, and within several months he had
built new machine at cost less than

business. He was rather surprised when,
in answer to his questions, the storekeeper
proceeded to dilate on the value of his stock

Won't maig no mistake"
So the assessors man did it. There was
lamentation in the store when the tax bill
showed the proprietor that he was taxed
on $1,000 personal, and he rushed over to
the assessors Office with all possible speed.
"Vat ISIS dis? Vat ISIS dis?" he asked
them, excitedly. 81 have no personal but de
stock in my store. I'm liar if it's wort

They told him that the records showed
that he had given the figure to the as.

AN OLD SAND CLOCK.
1t Used to Mark Time In OIden Times,
Before Clocks and Watches
Had Been Invented.

1t is very easy for us who have
watches and clocks to tell the time of
day or to note the passage of the min
utes, but in the olden time, before the
invention of clocks and watches, there
were others just as important to their
owners, if not quite as accurate as ours.
At first the ancients had sun-dials, by
which it was easy to tell the hour of
the day by the shadow that they cast
In the night time this was impossible,
and so water clocks and sand clocks
were invented. The water clock was
nothing more than vessel of water
with a small hole in the bottom through
which the water leaked away. An up
right rod in the vessel was marked
by the hours registered on the sun
dial in such way that as the water
flowed out the figures remaining above

there is in one corner large hat hole,

1t has been estimated that there are
about 10000 muscles in the elephants

with ease. When an athlete wishes to
show the development to which he has
attained, he performs some feat that
brings into prominence the muscle OF
which he is so proud. In like manner
Tye in his present position shows us
how large and rope-like those 10000
muscles in his trunk have become by
exercise.
