Tibetan skull Drums

A drum Of an extreme responsiveness of
nature is one used by the lamas Of Tibet
at some OF their church ceremonies. For
this the craniums of two skulls. prefera-
bly, children's, are taken, and over the
concave side of each is stretched the skin
of snake. The two skulls are then ce-
mented at their vertices to either side of
q wooden disk covered with a cotton
cloth, the stretched skins being outer
most. These drums are often ornamented
by having the heads of devils and such
like horrors, the more repulsive the bet
ter, painted upon them in red and blue
colors. The method employed in playing
them is rather curious. To the wooden
disk between the two halves a cord Is
fastened by which the drum can be sus-
pended and then rapidly rotated. Two
short cords with knobs at their ends hang
down in such a way that as the drum re-
wolves they strike alternately on either
face and thus produce regular 'tum,
tum. Good Words

TEsreL ~ :, RIGID MANNER.
tnrononeters of Ships Must Be he.
xond Possibility of Error.

yOnG Possibility OF ErrOr.
There is a popular belief that chronSm-
etcrs, those dpl!rate pieces Of mechanism
which enable The mariner to tell to q
nicely where he is upon the ocean, ere
made only in England. One will be told
even in Maiden lane, New York, that
England is chronometer maker for the
world. This was true at one time, but
now, according to shipmasters, America
turns out excellent chronometers.
Many of the instruments in use in the
United States are of American make.
These chronometers are purchased on
trial. The delicate instrument is sub
3ected to extremes OF temperature by
means of which its variations are ascer-
tanned. No instrument leaves the max
er's hands until it has been thoroughly
tested or before 1t is three years old. In
this period there is ample opportunity for
developing its peculiarities. When it is
understood that an error of four seconds
on the part of the chronometer will put
skipper mile out of his course, the ne
cessity of the most careful and thorough
test is apparent.
Even when an instrument has been
tested to the satisfaction of the experts
and has been finally adjusted only a skill
ed man can be allowed to carry it from
the workshop to the ship. One firm alone
has a dozen of these carriers constantly
employed. They are not, of course, deal
ing all the time in new chronometers;
there are from 400 to 500 always in
stock from ships arriving in this port
from all parts of the world. As soon as
a ship comes into port it's chronometer is
usually sent ashore for rating-that is to
say, it is carefully observed until the ship;
Is ready to sail. when the variation is rel
ported to the captain, who can make hisI
calculations accordingly.
The chronometers of the transatlantic
liners are sent ashore for rating every
time they come into port. The greatest
care is taken of chronometers on board
ship, and on all first class ships there are
usually three, one being for deck observa-
ton. The most perfect one of the let is
usually placed in dry but well ventilat-
ed apartment amidships, where it is firm
ly screwed down, and, should there be
fear OF dampness, wrapped in a heavy
wooden blanket. On the government YES
sells the chronometer is placed in a case
lined and padded with curled hair, which
keeps it from being marred. The small
est speck of rust on the balance spring
might cause chronometer to lose it's ac-
curacy. A first class chronometer costs
$3.50, and one of the same grade capable
of telegraphing its own time sells at $3.50.

Trouble for LIQUOR Dealers.

The New Jersey Law and Order League
has raised a dilemma for all the saloon
keepers in Burlington, Railway and
several other cities in the State, by claim
ing they are selling liquor without license
and are liable to prosecution for doing so.
By direction of Rev. DR.. s. H. Ham,
the secretary of the League, Attorney S.
Conrad OFT, of Camden, last night wrote
to the Mayor of Burlington, informing
him that at the November term of the
Supreme Court, the act of 1892, under
which the Excise Commissioners hold
office, was declared unconstitutional. ..--
The communication goes on to say that
all the holders of liquor licenses granted
by the Burlington board have been doing
business illegally since November II,
when the decision was handed down, and
that they are subject to prosecution The
League will see that the law is enforced
The League will also warn the Excise
Boards of Railway and several other cities
which, it is said, are acting under the law
of 1899.

This week S entertainment at Keith's is
promised to be one of the most attractive
of the season at that popular house.
Inaudi, the marvellous mental arithmeti-
clan, will again be one of the stellar feat
ures, and his performance will no doubt
prove as astounding as it has previously.
The brilliant Keith spectacle, "The Page
ant of Nations has entered upon the
third week of its present engagement. In
its now revised and amplifed form this
combination of ballet, spectacle and mill
! tary drill, is one of the prettiest and most
attractive displays seen here in long
time The other prominently billed feat
ures include Jessie Conthoni, declared to
be one of the ablest and cleverest of the
women monologists; Joe Reichen' S trained
dogs, who will be seen for the first time
in Philadelphia; the Waterbury Brothers
and Tenny, in a merry musical skit;
Moller and Teller, farceurs; Bruet and
Revieres, French duettists; Eleanor Page
Spencer, child pianist, whose work is
said to be truly noteworthy, and Hal

tribes use snuff, called pareca, which 10
made of the seeds of a species of plant.
When a bout of snuff taking is determin-
ed on, the people become highly intoxi-
Gated and then use the snuff. The effect
of pareca is so violent that the taker
