WONDERFUL CLOCK
RUNS FOR A YEAR

A clock that will run for year without
attention is the interesting invention of
Peter NJ. Ravenskilde of Cabery. Ills The
clock. which is an accurate timekeeDer.
was started going in August, 1898, and has
run ever since, its owner claims. without
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 circum-
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 diam
eter. Every minute aid a half as this
wheel turns by the weight of these balls
one of them falls out of its cup, rolls
down an incline plane twenty inches long,
when. by its own weight it reuniteS a
broken circuit of electricity and is again
elevated by little car travelling along

In making A, begin by cutting out of
wood the three, pieces, !. 2 and 3, which
are used to hold the pasteboard covering:
No. is to be made eight inches long and
from two to two and half inches thick:
no. is five inches long and one inch in
diameter; No. ! is four inches thick at
the larger end, taperins somewhat to-
ward the other end.
Roll sheet of cardboard fifteen inches
long SO that the edges fit tightly around
the ends of blocks Nos. l and .. cut the
sheet so that it will lap smoothly. then
glue or tack II fast, completing the sec
tion IA. Cut another sheet twelve inches
long, fitting the edge tightly on the other
end of No. 2 and on No. 8; and a third
piece eight inches long to fit on the end
of No. 3. extending to a small end the
size of the mouthpiece of such an instru-
ment. In each case allow the edges of
the sheets to- lap over each other as
smoothly as possible.
The horn will then be complete. with
the exception of the wide. open end. This
is made of a sheet nineteen inches long
and twelve inches wide. cut out shown
in No. 4. Roll this sheet so that the ends
meet and cut till the proper shape is
and fasten il in place.
To give the tone, piece or comb one
inch long covered with tissue paper can
be inserted through the cardboard about
one inch from the end of the mouthpiece,
by cutting a narrow hole and sliding it
through the side.
An instrument made in this way by
clever boy will appear quite natural when
thoroughly gilded and a smoother sur
face can be made by cutting away the
edges of the blocks where the cardboard
is joined. But if one is unable TO lit the
pieces together smoothly. the rough sur
face may be hidden by covering over the
entire instrument with thin gilt or silver
paper. glued on. This paper may be
bought at a stationer's.
Other styles of horns may be made by
this same method of work, all having
similar mouthpieces in which you sing
just as you would against an ordinary
comb. In making b, however. it will be
found simpler TO cut the small parts out
of wood and join together. the open end
only being made of cardboard.

London probably suffers less from

COMB HORNS USED

AS soon as boy learns TO hum through

apt TO feel himself musician. This very

deal Of amusement when a number of
musical boys get together and organize q

If as many as he can manage. Each
member may easily make his own instru-
ment ont of materials to be found in near

number OF tunes together and dressing

great applause at evening entertainments
and on picnics.

One of the most interesting and plaus-

but it was bad for society, which has
now learned that mendicancy is gen.
orally only a form of crime, TO aid in
the repression of which is the duty of
all good citizens.
Too many people still put their hands
in their pockets in answer to a whining
appeal, but most Of them would con-
TESS that they are moved less by benev-
olenCe than by the desire TO be rid of a
temporary annoyance. In the large
majority of cases the persons assisted
i'm this manner are totally unworthy.
If we may accept the Mendicity soci-
ety'S statistics, only about one beggar
in twenty is in urgent need of help; %
per cent are gross imposterS, and an
other 50 per cent are altogether unde-

sibly poor enough. In view of facts
ike these, the giving of indiscriminate
relief is less OF a virtue than a crime.
