In the town of Schramberg, in the
Black Forest, district of Wurtemberg,
Germany, where one of the chief in.
dustries is that OF clock making, there
has recently been established an in
teresting museum of timepieces. The
collection displays the gradual de.
velopment in the making of clocks fol
many centuries.
Among the curiosi,ies are many OF
great historical value. There is an
alarm clock constructed in the yeal
1880 for the use of travellers. In form
it resembles lantern, and the interior
is designed to hold n lighted candle.
The candle is slowly pushed upward
by spring, which also controls the
mechanism of the clock. a little pair
of shears clips the wick of the candle
automatically every minute to regu-
late its light. The lantern is inclosed
with movable slides, so that the
sleeper is not Mt first disturbed by
the prese zee of light.
The alarm is set by inserting peg
in the second dial plate. When the
required hour arrives the alarm is
sounded, and at the same time the
movable slides fall, flooding the room
with light.
Among the curiosilies is japanese
saw clock. The clock itself produces
the motive power by descending a
saw-formed strip Of metal, the teeth
of which operate the wheel of the
clockwork. In another japanese clock
the hand is attached to weight, which
sinks once in "A hours. The time is
indicated by hand on the perpen-
dicular scale.

II Fishes While You Rest.

A unique automatic fishing device
has been patented by George Cook,
colored, of Louisville, which has at
tracted some attention. The unique
feature of his invention is that it can
be attached to pole as an ordinary
reel or it can be placed on a tripod on
the ground. Any ordinary line can
be used, the mechanism wound up as
clock, and the invention will catch
the fish without any attention on the
part of the angler. When the fish
strikes the hook in the water the reel
will automatically catch it, pull it in
to the shore and ring bell to Let the
angler know that the fish is caught.
The reel will play fish all day, keep
tight line, and, just as soon as the
fish stops resistance, the reel will au
tomatically land the prey. Louis

A LIGHTNING STORY.
The Strange Way In Which Two Brothers
We're Killed in England.

The Strange Way In Which Two Brothers
We're Killed in England.
Two brothers, aged respectively
twenty eight and twenty-five years,
were driving together near Chester,
England, in dogcart during a thun-
derstorm. They were apparently
struck by lightning and seem to have
fallen simultaneously out OF the back
of the vehicle, for they were found
about five minutes after the flash lying
side by side on the road with the seat
of the dogcart under their legs and
the driving apron over them. Iarrived
from ten to fifteen minutes afterward,
relates doctor in the Lancet, and
found them both quite dead; the
bodies were lying in the road in the
same position as they were found.
The elder brother had no external sign
of injury. The younger brother pre-
sented the following appearance: The
epidermis was burned over the chest
and abdomen, not continuously, but
in number Of circular holes from
one-sixteenth of an inch to a quarter
of All inch in diameter. The metallic
collar stud was fused and the skin
beneath was deeply burned. The
back from the neck to the small of his
back was burned, but less severely
than in front. The vest and shirt
were charred, but the waistcoat and
coat were uninjured. The wooden
underwear aud trousers had a hole
burned in them about two inches in
diameter correspondingly to burn on
the right hip. On the occiput there
was confused scalp wound evidently
due to the fall from the vehicle. There
were no other injuries nor were any
of the clothes torn off either of the
bodies.
There was still no rigor morris an
hour and half after death. His watch
was going and seems not to have been
magnetized, as it has kept good time
since. The cloth of the cushion on
which the younger brother sat was
burned on its outer surface, but the
wooden seat beneath was uninjured.

The demand for rapid transit along
the canals of Venice bids fair to run
the picturesque gondolier out of bust
ness. The present tariffs are fairly
low, but the service is very slow, and
to make speed one must pay double
fare for an additional boatman. The
question of running electric launches
is being strongly agitated, the swift,
clean, noiseless service seen at the
Worlds fair at Chicago being cited
in evidence of what can be done, and
it is likely that a syndicate will be
formed to develop the idea. Already

taken up the subject with American
