Tho clock ia the Kenoy Memorial
Tower at Tunnel Square, says the
Hartford Conn Courant has begun
to toll the hours, and the tubular
chimes which are connected with the
clock mark the quarter hours BIS re-
peatlns IN measures Of four notes the
famous Westminster Chimes"
The set in the Keney Tower Is
made up Of five tubes which hang In
a frame suspended by Manila tarred
rope, and are struck by hammers oper-
ated by the clockwork. The largest Of
the Eve tubes Is nine feet eight Inches
In length and five inches IN diameter
weighs $50 pounds and is keyed to A
natural. This tube Is simply for the
striking of the hour, and has nothing
to do with the production Of the chime
music. The next smaller Of the tubes
is four inches shorter and weighs go
pounds. The key Of it Is B natural,
and It is the heaviest Of the chimes.
The other three tubes are: e natural,
seven feet eight inches, $50 poundsi
3 sharp seven feet, 100 pounds, and G
sharp, six feet eight inches, 14C
pounds.
The tubes are Of soft brass and arc
drawn in the usual manner by by
draullc pressure, the tone being gov
erned by the length, the diameter and
thickness Of the metal forming the
tube. The tone Is soft ana melodlous
and has a radius of about one mile
under favorable conditions. The vi
bratlons last for two minutes, whereas
the vibrations Of the largest bell las
for only one minute.

Rnhher Tired Policemen.

Washington, Ind, has a gum SHOE
police force. Every policeman in the
department is required by the Chief
to wear shoes with rubber soles and
heels, in order, like a fairy godmother,
to slip up nolselessly upon any person
who may be in mischief and nab him
when he lenst expects it.
If a patrolman reports for duty
without his gum shoes he is immedi-
ately reprimanded, and is compelled
to give cause for such base neglect of
duty. If the offence is committed
three times the copper would better
be on the lookout for new job

Admittance to rooms and play Is open to

DR.. Ball Renews Objections to Noise
of Street Cars.
DR.. Charles A Ball of 233 G street has
again invited the attention of the District
Commissioners to the annoyance caused by
the cars of the City and Suburban Railway
Company, the Commissioners having In
formed him several days ago that the
noise is largely the result of the newness
of the mechanism and the lack of proper
adjustment" The company has adjusted
the bearings, states DR.. Ball. on all the
cars but one, and no noise results now
But DR.. Ball thinks that such heavy We
hicles as the company uses should not be
allowed on the streets of the city. vibration
of houses being due to the great weight of
the cars.
The Commissioners think. however that
further action on their part is unnecessary
unless there is a more substantial interior
ence with private easements than appears
from the complaint. The charter of the
company requires that its cars shall be Of
1.-The best construction, with all
modern improvements necessary to the con-
venience and comfort of passengers" and
1t seems to them 1t cannot be said that the
cars are not such in all their appointments.
