A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
The Remarkable Work of n Man in
Chicago.

Frank Bohacek has a wonderful clock
upon which he has been working silently
and secretly for nineteen years 1t has
made him the hero and wizard of Chiea-
go's Bohemia. His name is spoken with
fear and reverence by his neighbors who
have been permitted to gaze upon the
wonderful work which threatens to crowd
the old Bohemian matchmaker and his
wife out of their comfortable home at e5O4
Winchester Avenue, the place having be-
come too small for them and the clock.
For twenty years the clock has been
the dream and one passion of the old
mar, and now that it is almost completed
he is delighted. 1t is a giant among
such curiosities and was so large when
the work on it was begun that Bohacek
had to move from his little home at
West Eighteenth and Wood Streets into
two-story frame house. which he built
purposely to accommodate the clock.
Now to get it out he will have to tear
down the walls or else take the time
piece apart and set it up again. 1t stands
nineteen feet high and is fifteen feet
square at the base. Its uppermost parts
extend nearly to the roof of the house.
there being no flooring in the second
story.
is an orchestra and photographic at
tachment, which will do the talking for
the thirty automatons carved by the
Bohemian woodcarvers, the only outside
assistance Bohacek called to aid him.
The largest one is in the centre, and on
it are represented the sun. the moon, the
earth and the four seasons. The sun is
successfully initiated by a large red
electric globe, which is placed in the
centre of tie dial.
To the outside edge is added world
globe. a silver moon revolves about it
monthly, and planet and satellite make
the circle around the sun in 365 days.
The world globe, or earth, revolves every
twenty-four hours.
Surrounding the huge dial the seasons
are painted and through them the planet
and satellite pass accurately. The second
dial is of the ordinary clock The third Is
a twenty-four hour dial. The fourth Is
one having three hands. which mark re-
spectively the day, the month. and the
week of the year. Inside the clock are To-
Gated the thirty figures which pass every
half hour before opening above the
dials. Here are represented every Presi-
dent from Washington down to Mckinley.
The others are figures of Uncle Sam, Dew
ey Franklin, Columbus, Columbia, and an
Indian The clock rivals the Strasburg
wonder and has thus far cost the maker

THE PASSING OF THE BANJO.
bicycle, Golf, and Camera Supp1ant.
ing the Ancient Instrument.

In commenting upon filing a petition In
bankruptcy recently. George c. Dobson,
the veteran banjo teacher, declared that
the day of the banjo was done. The BIZ
! cycle, golf, and the camera, he said, had
proved too strong a combination for the
instrument whose plunkety-plunks have
endured since the Pyramids and which
has fiourished wherever man has lived.
When in 1s4S at the Bowery Theatre Joe
Sweeney. the minstrel, introduced it TO
the New York public, it aroused but Ian
guild interest. 1t was "a niger instru-
ment," and the Abolitionists were not in
the majority at that time. 1t was at this
concert that Sweeney added the little or
L string, an idea OF his own. The next
serious attempt to bring it before the
public was in lS5s, when the three Dob
sons gave a series of concerts at Bar
NUNS Museum.
The next forward step was in 1860, when
Charles E. Dodson, ST., a member of the
orchestra in Wallack's Theatre. during
the miracles performed number of
banjo solos. The fashionables were in
terested and amused. The war added to
its vogue with Northern sympathizers
and no soldiers festival or hospital fair
was complete without banjo accompani-
ments.
After the war 1t languished until lS7S
when the addition of frets by the elder
Dobson gave to its musical capabilities
much wider range. Violinists and pianists
saw its capabilities and its danger to
them professionally, and, as a concession
to 1t, interspersed their own perform
ances with limitations of the banjo
In 1883 the craze was at its height
Tournaments were held throughout the
country and the people seemed banjo
mad. Charles L. Dobson issued a 'Chal-
lenge to any player in the world to COM
pete with him in picking for 5000 gold
medal" Stenway Hall was packed to
its doors to see him defeat eight candi-
dates with the redoubtable Horace Wes-
ton at their head. and the next day the
papers gave the performance columns.
With the original Spanish Students who
appeared at Booths Theatre came the
mandolin. and its tremulous tinkIe mark
ed the first jangle of the banjo's death
knell. The students made 4 tour through
the country, and the first wedge to knock
out the banjo had been driven in. And.
alas. whore is the banjo now?
The career Of George Dobson as banjo
player is fun of pathos, for it is the gen
eral history Of the rise ana fall of a very
picturesque instrument, If not delightful
In itself. delightful in its suggestion Yet
we should expect to see golf and the cam
era. and even the bicycle itself die out ut
terly before the banjo.

MISTAKES OF AUTHORS.
Many Amusing Slips Made i'm Fa-
nous Novels.

When Anthony Trolope pictured Andy
Scott as coming whistling up the street
with a cigar in his mouth" he not only
proved that he had never made personal
experiment of the double feat of smoking
a cigar and whistling a tune. but he was
unconsciously following in the steps Of
still greater writer's who make their he
roes do amazing and impossible things.
Those who remember their Robinson
Crusoe may recall a most wonderful feat
of this hero of childhood. When he de-
cided to abandon the wreck and try to
swim ashore he took the precaution to re-
move all his clothes. and yet by some
strange magic, of which the secret has
been lost, the author makes him, when in
this condition of nature, fill his pockets
with biscuits
The great Shakespeare himself had
peculiar faculty for making the impossi-
bic happen in his plays. One of the most
remarkable of these feats occurs in the
fifth act of "Othello," when Desdemona,
after she has been duly smothered by the
Moor, comes to life again and enters into
conversation quite nationally, even in
venting a generous falsehood to shield
him from the consequences of his crime,
before she decides to die The improba-
bility of a person recovering conscious
ness and speech after being smothered,
and of dying after performing such a
feat, scarcely needs pointing out.
Shakespeare, too, had a trick of intro
ducing the most glaring anachronisms-
so glaring, in fact, that there is more
than suspicion that they must have
been introduced consciously for some un-
known reason.
\, oh oil vii %
in ancient Rome at time, more than
thousand years before clocks were in
vented. when such an event would GER
tainly have been the eighth wonder of
the world.
Quite regardless of the evidence of ge-
ography, he transports Bohemia to the
seaside; and he introduces a printing
press long before the days Of Gutenberg.
He calmly introduces a billiard table into
Cleopatra's palace, and makes cannon IA
miliar to King John and his barons.
Thackeray was no mean rival to
Shakespeare in vagaries of this kind: but
in his case they appear to have been the
result of pure carelessnesS and forgetful-
ness. The most fragrant case, perhaps, is
where, after burying Lady Kew and eff
fectiyely dismissing her from the story,
he brings her to life again to help him
out with his plot; and in other cases his
capacity for mixing up the names of his
characters is as confusing as it is Won
derful.
Emile Zola, in spite of his carefulness,
makes the astonishing statement in one
of his novels C'Lourdes'D that the deaf
and dumb recovered their hearing and
sight, an event which savors very much
of the miraculous.
The moon has innocently been the cause
of much blundering on the part of au-
thors. Will1ie Collins in some mysterious
fashion made it rise on one important oc-
casion in the west: Rider Haggard in
King Solomon's Mines contrives an
eclipse of the new moon for the benefit
of his readers. and Coleri6ge ingeniously
places star between the horns of the
crescent moon as she rises in the east
