Surplus of Mexican Dollars in the
Treasury.
Washington, d. c., May 5.-Goy.
Leary has sent to the navy department
another of his characteristic official
reports about affairs in Guam, includ-
ing the results of a thorough census
taken under his direction and a finan-
cial statement of the first six months
of his administration, which shows a
gratifying and growing surplus OF
Mexican dollars in the island treasury.
American money has not yet entered
into circulation in Guam, and the fig
ures in the balance sheet represent the
silver currency left there by the Span
iards. The amount in the treasury on
July l, 1899, was $2,171. The receipts
from July l to Jan. l last were $9,415,
and the expenditures for the same De
Rod were $3.767, leaving in the treas
ury on Jan. /. 1900, $4,S19. The receipts
will not be so large for the remainder
of the fiscal year, as the tax on mar
riage licenses will not be so produc-
tive, but the expenses will be propor-
tionately reduced, as many of the i'm
provements have been completed. The
governor reports that the eyaporating
plant is in excellent condition, but he
is still without an ice machine, with
the hot weather almost at hand. The

plains to the department that his re-
quest for library did not contemplate
a circulating affair for fiction. He
needed an encyclopedia set of revised
statutes, some law books and other
reference works indispensable to his

SOME. PECULIAR TiMEPIEcEs.

In one Of the town halls in a Japa-
nese treaty port there Is a remarkable
timepiece. 1t Is contained in a hand
some frame, three feet wide and five
feet long. 1t represents a MONDAY
landscape, very cleverly carried out.
In the foreground plum and cherry
trees appear in bloom. while In the
rear hill Is to be seen, from which
flows a pretty cascade, initiated in
crystal.
A Glasgow botanist has conceived III.
unique idea Of making a timepiece out
OF growing fir trees. He planted a num-
Der OF fir trees in his garden in such
positions that they shade special parts
OF the house at known hours of the
day. For instance, the Il o'clock tree"
shades the dining-room during lunch.
while the "A o'clock tree" sec,x-es a
shady drawing room for afternoon tea.
and so on during the rest OF the twenty
four hours.
From this cascade flows tiny
stretm. which wends its way between
rocks and islands, and finally loses
itself in stretch of woodland. In a
miniature sky golden sun turns on
silver wire. striking the hours on sill
yer gongs as 1t passes. Each hour Is
marked on creeping tortoise. A bird
of rich plumage MARBLES at the close OF
the hour. and, as the warbling ceases,
mouse suddenly makes its appear
ance. and. scampering over the hill to
the garden. is soon lost to view. Al
together It is q wonderful piece Of
mechanism.
