GREAT CITY FOR PADLocks. Phenomenal Way ia Which They Flour.
 ish at Irlkutsk.


 Irkutsk, the accepted capita, of ori- ental Siberia, is a city Of padtocks. II has only about 51 ,000 inhabitants, yet there are more padlocks on the shut ters and doors of Irkutsk stores than san be found in an American city of 100000 There are as many. as three padlocks on some store doors. and every lower story shutter bears from one to five. The paddock weighs from one to fifteen pounds. The popular size is five pounds and two and one- half inches thick, says the Chicago Record The closing of a store is an affair of consequence. The heavy shut ters are swung together, the ponderous iron bars are put in place, the padiocks are adjusted and locked, and then comes the final and serious ceremony of locking the door, The door is shut. the bars are placed, and the paddock is fixed and locked, and the verdant stranger thinks the closing operation is ever. It is not. A piece of cord is drawn through the hasL of the paddock and the two ends are held against the door by clerk or boy, while the pro, prietor melts piece of sealing wax and sticks the ends to the door. On the hot wax he places isprivate stamp. A promenade on an Irkutsk business street after closing time shows the huge padloeks, the two lines of string and fat dab of red wax as big as a silver dollar. In case sealing wax is dispensed with, the paddock is tied iD a rag, the string being knotted in a peculiar way. The business man of lrkutsk has no faith in a stringless paddock. I learned that through the wax and rag medium the owner of store knew if his lock had been tam pered with during the night.

The farmer may safely decide when to go eo dinner by the sun, but If the mariner was as confident that the sun marked always the correct time as the farmer IS he would be sure to be at times 2o0 or 300 miles from where he thought ne was. In other words, the sun that Is, sundial-is only correct on a ieW days in each year, and during the Intervening times gets as far as whole quarter hour fast or slow. ac- eording to Appleton's Populai Science Monthly. There are several hundred stars whose positions have been estab- hshed with the greatest accuracy by the moSt careful observations at a number of the principal observatories or the world. If a stars exact posi- ton is known, it can readily be cal eulated when it will pass the meridian Of any given plaee-that is, the in- stant 1t will cross a north and south line bhrough the place. The data res garding these stars are all published in the aautica1 almanacs, which are got out by several different observa. tions for the use of navigators and all others who have uses for them These stars are known as "clock staES.''
