How the Governments Sets Our Clocks.

There are 10000 clocks set by the
Government every day when the noon
hour strikes in Washington. In every
large city throughout the United
States, time-balls at the same minute
indicate the time for hundreds watch
ing for their fall, and hundreds of
watches are regulated to correspond
with the signal. This time service
comes from the naval observatory in
Washington, and the original design
was to furnish mariners at seaboard
cities with the means of regulating
their chronometers. Like a great
many other Government institutions,
it has extended beyond its original
purpose and now it serves another of
more general usefulness.
This time service is ostensibly free /;
actually it is not free, but costs the
owner of each clock SIS year. The
Government furnishes the signal free,
but the Government does not deliver
it. This is done by the telegraph
company which puts wire into your
Office, if you desire it, and connects it
with its great system Of wires.
No one knows what the company
receives from its time service, but
reckoning on basis of SIS clock
each year and 5000 clocks, the amount
should be more than a million dollars.
This sum it receives for suspending all
business on its wires from ll.57 to Il
o'clock, Washington time, each day,
and giving the operator at the naval
observatory full control of them.
Actually the operator there does not
send the signal-it is sent automatl-
cally by remarkable clock-and so
far as the time-balls are concerned,
the preliminary work is done by a
man in charge of each, who hoists it to
position and throws its machinery in
to the circuit Just before the final sig
nal goes out.
What this operator and what all
operators have to do in regulating the
time balls is to turn a switch, between
the sounding of the fortieth second
and the signal which marks the hna!
minute. As soon as the operator has
counted more than FIVE seconds in the
intermission, he knows that the next
signal will make the exact hour OF
noon. The time-ball has been hoisted
to its position at the top Of the pole
These poles are in conspicuous places
in every large city in the United States
usually on the top Of the Western I'm
ion Telegraph building. The ball is
of canvass, over a globular form. There
is mechanical device by which sin
gle impulse sent over the wire when
the time-ball is in circuit pulls the
trigger and releases the ball, so that
it falls to the bottom Of the pole. In
the intermission, which he knows pre-
cedes the final signal, the operator
throws the switch, and in this way all
the time-balls in the country are
brought into the circuit with the naval
observatory.
In the last Tooth of the last second
Of the fifty-ninth minute Of the elev-
enth hour at Washington, the tooth
or the minute wheel touches the spring
which closes the circuit, and stimuli
taneously the time balls all over the
country drop, and Uncle Sam has said

Something About skunks.

The skunk first appears in history
in the year 1886, when he was de-
scribed in Theodats History Of Cana
da. He had been long time on the
earth before that time, however, for
there are species of fossil skunks. The
skunks of the genus Chinea range ov-
er the greater part OF North America
and as far south as Mexico. Other
skunks are found in Central and South
America. They livei in burrows either
of other animals or made by themselves.
Their habits are chiefly nocturnal and
they hibernate only in the severest
part of the winter. Their food con-
sists of small animals, of insects and
birds eggs. GrasshOppers are eaten
by hundreds. They have been trapped
for their fur for many years. The
Hudson Bay Company alone sent a
quarter of million skins to England
from 1850 to 1890.
The young are born in litters Of
four to 10. The adults occasionally
rob the poultry yard, but such depre-
dations as they commit are more than
offset by their destruction of noxious
animals and insects, especially the
white grub, the pest Of lawns and
meadows. They are easily trapped
in box traps and can be killed by put
ting them, trap and all, in trough Of
water. A pamphlet published by the
Biological Survey of the Department
Of Agriculture (NO. 20 Of the North
American Fauna gives a systematic
revision of the genus named and is ex-
cellently illustrated by cuts copied
from photographs of the skins Of var
ious species. -NcU York Sun.

Penny Savings a Success.

A penny saved IS a penny earned
seems to be the motto upon which the
Penny Savings society Of Chicago, or
ganized June Is. 1897. has been pro-
ceeding. The object Of this society is
to teach thrift and frugallty. Through
the medium of purchasing bright at
tractive stamps from one penny up
ward children have been taught the
lesson Of economy and saving. \ total
Of 1880 stamps from l cent up to
90 have been purchased since the or
ganization of the society, and its in
fuence is widely extending through the
cooperation of the schools. the social
settlements. the bureau of associated
charities and other organizations.
Whenever a sufficient sum has been
saved in this way the saver is advised
to deposit it In a savings bank, and
thus habits of saving are inculcated.
IN this way pennies that formerly
went for cigarettes, candy, gum and
various other articles have found their
way to the society. where they have
accumulated until by their aid shoes,
clothing. books, etc, were purchased
with them or bank account was open
ed. Self help and the incubation OF
right habits of economy are what the
work of the society represents. and II
has now become a factor Of importance
in the training Of the yOung.-Chicago

A Puzzle In Alaska.

Strangely enough, the experiment OF
sending Lapland reindeer to Alaska in
the care of experienced Lapland herd
ers seems to have been failure and
to have cost the federal treasury
considerable sum without adequate re-
turn. Both the deer and the Lapps de
veloped a deplorable tendency to die
off prematurely. One of the returning
herd masters says that the climate Of
that part of Alaska to which the deer
and their shepherds were sent was no
more rigorous than that Of Lapland,
In which the animals and their keepers
alike thrive, but for some mysterious
reason Alaska food and Alaska condi-
lions Of the weather were deadly to
most Of the two footed and four footed
exiles. 1t is a puzzle. Who can ex-
plain the causes of sickness and death
among the herds and their keepers?
