Care nfthe Clock.

There Is at least one man in New
York whose regular and only occnpa-
ton is the winding, regulating and oc.
casional cleaning Of clocks for numer-
Gus families. He makes daily rounds,
so as to cover his entire route but he
never visits the same house oftener
than once a week. On that day his
coming Is expected, and he has free ac-
cess to all the rooms, whether they are
occupied at the time or not. Through
the various halls and apartments he
goes, from top of the house to the bot
tom, winding the clocks and giving a
touch here and there to regulator,
where he finds 1t necessary. lie says
that some persons are very particular
about the striking of their clocks:
"They will ask me II | can arrange
to have all the tlmepieces in the house
to strike together. Now, rs n general
thing, that Is an impossibility, and I'll
tell you why. Some clocks are arrang-
ed to strike just half Il minute before
the hour; some for a quarter Of a min
ute before; some for n few seconds
after the hour, and so OH. You see, If
fix them so that they would strike to-
gether, they would not be exactly To-
gether in point of actual time, which is
more important. When | undertake
the care of the clocks In house no
body else Is allowed to touch them, and
the servants in particular have orders
never to move or interfere with them In
any way"

EuroDe's silver Mines.

Spain produces annually about 12O,-
900 pounds of silver, and this amount
exceeds the production Of any other
European country, but 1t is found in
many different parts, and is often asso-
ciated with other metals. Formerly the
mines at Hiendelaencina, in the pro-
vince of Guadalajara, would have been
considered richer than any other in Eu-
rope, but now they are not so produc-
tive. For some years after their chance
discovery by a peasant, in 1913, they
yielded an immense quantity of the pre-
cious metal. We have therefore to go to
the ErZebirge, or Silver Mountains,
which form the boundary between Sax
ony and Bohemia. to find the mines
that are most productive. They have
been worked for over six hundred years,
and. although some of the mines are ex-
hausted, and others are worked at great
depths. they still form the chief silver
mining center in Europe.

SNOW RESTORED LIFE.
A Victim of Pnen saonia Practically
Raiaed from the Dead.


DIR. John b. Boucher told the Hart
ford Medical Society how he had raised
a man from the dead by burying him
in snow. The patient was Charles +.
Robertson. OF Hartford, Conn, who
had been i'll for weeks from pneumo-
mia. When he was beginning to re-
cover his second lung became affected
and the relapse appeared to have IA

through all the last stages of the dis
ease. His rawlings had ceased, his tenn
peratnre was 107. his pulse had begun
TO weaken, his breath came in short
gasps. and every evidence of the end
was at hand. At o'clock the last test

of the eyeball, had failed. and the
nurse informed the doctor that the man
was practically dead The family took
the fact for granted and preparations
were started TO quickly remove the life

To the doctor there was one desper-
ate hope left. Placing a rubber blanket

naked. Not a CULVER of an eyelld, not a
single gasp, came as he was laid In the
frlgld mass. More snow was brought.
1t covered his arms, his legs and his
body. Everywhere the mass was placed
tightly around him. The order was
keep him there till his temperature
goes down to l0l"
For forty-fiye minutes the man lay In
the snow with no signs of returning
life. In fact, every one believed him
dead At the end of that time the doc
tor had the snow taken away and
again tried the reflex action test. As
he put his finger on the eye the lid
quivered. and minute later the first
pickering pulse sent Il thrill through
those who were anxiously waiting.
Then came another surprise. The
doctor, a man of experience, suddenly
