The Shah Of Persia, now in Paris
Is apparently determined to keep level

clock for his private use which will
show him at glance the time, not
only at Teheran, but At twelve other
places scattered across the world.

dial of the clock, which shows Teher-
an time, is surrounded with smaller
dials giving the corresponding hour
in the other cities named. Messrs.
Bensons, Of Ludgats, have made this
remarkable timepiece. The dials are
set in richly-engravsd ormolu, and the

NEWSPAPERS IN RUSSIA.

Journals Arc Permitted to Print Only
News Authorized by the Censor.
The Russian government has gone
into the business Of publishing news
itself, has established a regular press
bureau for the circulation of news and
supplies all home newspapers now
with foreign news. State Councillor
Marathon Is the editor-in-chief OF
news on questions Of current politics.
Should a Russian newspaper dare
to handle" news in a manner
different from that in which 1t Is
furnished the censor takes hold
at once. And 1t is pretty hard
case for which the censor can
not find handle, as was shown by
Count Uvaroff when he found an ex-
cuse for warning an editor enemy by
citing his eulogy of Pushkin. The edi-
tor had said nothing against the gov
eminent implying disrespect or criti-
cism of the government in his article,
but Uvaroff found that Pushkin had
no position in the government service,
was neither q captain nor . head OF
department and was only q verse
writer" So the editor was warned"
and warning is serious thing, for
1t means that the next offense may be
punished summarily by the suppress
sion Of the paper. Thus one paper, the
Gazeta Gatzuka, was warned once and
then suppressed for want OF respect
for the nobility" The motive Of q
minister's refusal to authorize a new
publication are sometimes curious
enough. For instance, not more than
three years ago the permission to pub
lish private newspaper in Tamboy
was refused on the ground that the
necessity for such publication there
has not ripened yet" and that "the
local official paper is quite efIicient for
the place" Sometimes a refusal Is
based on the fact that the local censor.
having various other oficial duties has
work enough without a new paper

A TRUE HOROSCOPE

People who believe In astr61ogy as
science on which prophecy may be
based have called attention to what
seems to them to be a remarkable case
OF true prophecy in a horoscope writ
ten by Willis F. Whitehead, q loyal
mystic. and published on July 16 of
last year. The horoscope 10 based on
the juxtaposition OF the planets main
tanning during the period between May
81 and June 81 of this year, and in II
many persons see forecast OF the la
Dor troubles in Chicago and the war
like conditions now prevailing in Chi
na
Chief interest in this connection at
taches to what Mr.. Whitehead said in
an interview published In connection
with the horoscope. The words, quot
ed from the article printed on that
date. to which reference Is made, are
as follows:
ASKED then what was before the
American armies in the far east. he
said:
Il feel certain sorrow at having to
say, with the assurance that the heay-
ems hold back none Of their mysteries
from me, that worse danger than
war with Spain threatens the United
States in the period mentioned. =
"'All these signs point to some
thing happening In the region of che
Philippines. 1t may be that China will
fall apart, but this seems unlikely in
the face of the understanding between
England and Russia, nor do the stars
point to China as significantly as to
the islands. I am. there
fore, forced to the belief that some
thing infinitely startling will happen
there, and as do not think II will be
such a cataclasm as some of my pro-
fessional brethren anticipate, 1t
seems as II 1t must stand for an over
throw of our armies."
In this the believers in astrology d.
vine prophecy Of the conditions that
actually existed this year between the
dates mentioned, May 81 to June Fl.
when the American troops in the Phil
ippines. though not knowing 1t, were

where the fighting Ninth" recently
met with reverses.
The planetary conditions on which
the horoscope was based were the rela-
tive positions Of Venus and the earth,
Jupiter and Uranus, with malenc Sa-
turn scowling close at hand, which
make. according to the horoscope,
what the Indians call bad medicine
And as II the troubles in China were
not enough, 1t is pointed out also that
the horoscope cast over a year ago
foretold troubles In factory and sales-
rooms in Chicago, with possible lock-
outs and strikes.
