GERMANS STRANGE TIMEPiEcE
Took Him 6 Years to Make His s4o.ooo

Clock.
 A remarkable clock is to be placed on exhibition here in the near future. It has taken 1e years for the inventor, Carl Julius Speatf, native of Baden, Germany, to build 1t. Not until 1884 did he start to build this clock. It IS what the inventor calls an astro- nomicai art clock. All parts of 1t were made by Speath himself out of raw material. The smaller parts are plated with gold or silver, the larger parts are of nickel. The case is 2 feet high, 1 feet wide, and ? feet deep, and is made out of oak wood, waxed and pol ished On the top, at the left hand, stands a rooster, which crows three The cocks crow immediately brings odt cuckoo, which chirps if the sea- son picture beneath the roof shows spring; a quail appears and shrieks if it is sumner; in autumn bull jumps out and bellows, and in winter lion rashes forth and roars. At the top, on the right hand. stands the angel Gabriel, who blows his horn after the striking Of each hour. h the gallery beneath the roof stand the four evangelists. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John Two statues stand in another apartment and strike the quarter hours. Near the first quartef-hour stroke stands a child, near the second 8 young man, near the third man fully developed and near the fourth an old man. These figures are sup posed to illustrate the four stages Of human existence. Tn the center of the gallery is the Savior, seated upon the clouds, holding a book and a cross and showing his wounds. The astronomical part of the clock is very elaborate. The eclipses of the sun and moon are shown distinctly and predicted accu- rately. The position of the stars and their movements are also shown very beautifully The milky way, equator zodiac, and meridians are painted on 2 globe. At the lower right-hand cor. ner is an extra indication of the datet weekday, and month, with the illus trations after which the weekdays are named. The whole clock weighs only 3335 pounds. but it's appraised value in Germany is s40.000.-New York Jour- nal.

Interesting tr,ormation of St. Helena

Interesting 'n'ormation of St. Helena
 There is some interesting information on St. Helena in an article which the governor of that colony, MT. Stern dale, has contributed to the current number of the "Asiatic Quarterly Re view" The tenaeity of official tradi- tion is illustrated by the fact that even now, nearly eight years after the death oi the great Napoleon, he must never be referred to as Emperor This is a survival of the strict rule of Napoleon's 8 gaoter, Sir Hudson Lowe. Once, in q dispatch to the Colonial Office, MT. sterndale did style Napoleon Emperor, and his attention was drawn to the in- adFertenee by an official. The house in which Mr. Sterndale wrote his ar ticle contained a number of relics of the captive Emperor. including Ma. poleon's bookcase and cabinet.

SCIENTISTS FIND
That Typhoid Germs Are Bred in oys-
 ters by Sewage.

A scare was caused in n-England some years ago by the statement that oys- ters were active disseminators O ty- phoid fever. The consumption in Lon don of what are invariably referred to in the country papers as luscious 5i- valves" thereupon fell off 50 per cent The cockney, alive to his opportuni- ties,. refused to buy oysters for his sweetheart. on the ground that they were dangerous. AS oysters are very expensive in Great Britain anyhow, people were easily convinced of their unwholesomeness. The reduction in consumption caused rapid fall in prices. It also injured the American exportation of Blue Points to England. Profs Herdman and Boyee went to. i've among oysters Of Lancashire to find out if they are really so dangerous. They looked into the cause of the color Of green oysters. ssThe green hue,
 they picturesquely say in their report, is equally familiar to the man who raises them for the market. to the one who raises them from their bed with pair of rakes, and also to him who raises them out of their own jufces from the half shell by means of sll- yer trident. This coloring has been attributed variously to metals, vege- table coloring matter. bile pigment and the pigment of diatoms.' The inyes- tigations of the learned oyster sharps, however, yield the fact that the green color is not always due to the same cause. One variety is caused by cop : per. This appears true of the An7eri- can green oyster. h other varieties iron is found, while diatom, or moss, is suspected as a cause to still others. The American green oysters are ire quently thin and have shrunken livers. The contamination of oyster beds by sewage and the results of experimental feeding of oysters with matter laden with typhoid fever germs are taken up. Oysters from the vicinity of sew CTS contain bacteria. Those that have imbibed typhoid bacilli have in them germs which can be cultivated from them fourteen days after infection New York Journal.

An Interesting voman.

An interesting woman has just died Russia. Irena Fadossova was one Of the last of those professional story tellers who, before the spread of edu- cation, were very numerous fn the east. She was quite illltesata, but her memory was so phenomenal ths& she could recite over 100, ,000 lines of heroic and legendary poetry. She was ire qaently in St. Petersburg, and was often invited to the palaces of the Imperial family and nobility to give recitations. In summer she wandered from town to village. and had never been absent from the famous fair of Nishni Noygorod for sixty years

The Changing GeYsers.

It is said that the recent visitors to the Yellowstone Park have discovered that the famous geysers there are gradually subsiding. One newspaper believes that if their force continues to diminish in the degree in which it has diminished in the last four years, the geysers vii probably become ex- tinct within Q decade This is what these recent visitors claim to have dis covered: That Roaring Mountain, although still circulating steam, no longer roars, and therefore, no longer deserves its name; that Black Growler in Norris Basin, is in a feeble state. and that Fountain Geyser, in the Low CT Basin, and the Splendid and Bee hive Geyser, in the Upper Basin, are practically dead. We have seen no evi- denee to prove that these reports are not true. Certainly no one could de- rive any benefit from their deceitful manufacture.

London Decision That Would Cause As
 tonishment in This Country.


 tonishment in This Country.
 London magistrate has just made from the bench a statement which, if 1t is ever duplicated by competent court in this city, would or might have consequences terrible even to imagine. It seems that on one of the urban rail ways there had been a crowded train. A woman lad tried to force her way into 2 compartment already fully oc- eupied and her efforts had excited mid protest from one Of the pas seHgers already seated. The protest ing remarks were taken amiss by the Woman's husband, a fight followed and then an arrest of the pugnacious hus- band. It is not matter of any con- sequence whether he or the other man was at fault for the scrimmage; what is at least interesting is the fact that the magistrate before whom the case came formally announced that nobody has q right to enter a railway carriage which is already full. Those who take tickets at the starting point he said, are entitled to seats and tickets taken at intermediate sta tiens are subject to there being room fon the holders. If the company issues tickets in excess Of the number of seats provided the holders may bring an ac- tion for damages. wait for the next train or demand the return of their money. Persons in a carriage which is full have a legal, as well as moral right to prevent others from en- deaYoring to enter it and the sooner the public understands this the bet ter. as no one has right to ineon> venience passengers already in their places. Such is the English law, accord ing to this interpreter of it. Patrons Of our own elevated and surface cars are not likely even to ask if there is any such law in this country. They are so well habituated to travelling in cruel discomfort that the impulse to make ef. ieetive protest against it has been lost

Why Americans Win.

One of the many reasons why Amer jean manufacturers are so successful competing in foreign markets is to Be found in the following episode, which occurred recently: An American man. ufaeturer of steam specialties was vis- iting an English firm which made sim liar goods. A certain article which both firms made was under discussion What is your price on this thing2" asked the American. Well, in your money, about $19," replied the Eng lishman. What does it cost your" "Tll deliver at your door all you want at $7 apiece" said the American How in the world do you do it?" Well, I'll illustrate" answered the American. Look out of that window and across the street. See that man painting q sign?" Yes" He's on a ladder, isn't he?" Yes" See that other man sitting on the sidewalk holding the foot of the ladder?" Yes Now in America We have ladders that stand Up by themselves-don need man to hold 'em. So, you see, in this instance, We divide your cost of labor exactly by two" "I see" re- marked tlss Englshman.--Electrieal Reyiew

WOMEN IN MARTINIQUE.
Sleep seems 10 Be the Chief Industry

Sleep seems 10 be the GHief Anuustrg
 There.
 That the woman who was Napoleon's first empress, the unhappy Josephine, was born in Martinique, and lived there till she was fifteen, is remember ed perhaps by very few who have read cf the current disorders among the fe of that French West Indian is .sE B,!t by the residents thereof it is nexsg lost sight of for a moment. It vas in Martinique that Josephine ac- qaired these qualities which later made her so much trouble passion, indo- lenee and indulgence. The conditions that nodded Josephine's character still exist, unchanged and apparently un- changeable. If there has been any change in recent years the movement has been retrogressive rather than forward. Everything tends toward aI- most continuous siumber in the French West Indies, from the climate to the rum, and, to speak truth, no one seems in the least to strive against the slumberous influence. To the out sider sleep seems to be the chief in o0otl O4 I1G lSIdaaS, Lue peOpIe q pear to sleep, sleep, sleep, from morn ing till night. Of course there are times of the day when the sleeping is more nearly general than at other times, just after the midday breakfast, for instance. and again just after din- her, then no one remains awake. The attempt to Christianize the harmless and peaceful savages who originally peopled the islands, now French West Indian, began 400 years ago, resulted in practical extermination, and the place of the carlos was taken by the negroes. Little by little since then the influence of tie negro blood has increased; since emancipation in 1848 the white population has decreased, the influence and interest of the whites have grown less year by year, home and social life has grown nar rover, prejadices have grown stronger and more numerous, and there is little likelihood of lasting improvement in any direction.

bull moose was an apparently uncon

came into town early, breakfasted from
the garden of one of the citizens, roamed
down the street, and finally disappeared.
The law prevented anyone from modest
Ing him, SO no attempt was made to
restrain his liberty. Those who saw the
animal estimated that he would weigh
1900 pounds. When discovered the moose
was filling himself with green corn
which grew in a garden within easy
reach of the street.
When heshad appease1 his appetite he
started down the street and as he stepped
on muddy crossing, he nearly had bad
fall. The news Of the presence of the
unusual visitor brought together crowds
of residents who followed the animal
through the streets for nearly an hour.
One man got near enough to snatch a
handful Of hair, discourtesy which the
moose appeared not to mind in the least.
Finally the animal passed across the field
and disappeared in the woods,
