HIS MANIA FOR CLOCKS.
Inenfous Frenchman Has Constructed
Many Curious Timepieces.


Many Curious Timepieces.
One of the most ingenious mechanics in
the world is a Frenchman named LIE Boullat.
living at La Coutaness who has made him
self famous for the curious clocks he manu.
factures. He can make clock out of almost
any conceivable material. Straw and paper
are among the raw materials he uses. For
20 years he has been manufacturing freak
clocks and most Frenchmen who want s. me-
thing out of the common in that line apply
to lie Boullat
while ago he turned lot of newspapers
into pulp, mixed it with hardening sub-
stance and carved the clock out of the COM
pound. Even the wheels and all the ma
chinery CT the clock were made of this ma
terial. Naturally this curious clcck does
not keep very correct time, but the wonder
Is that it goes at all. The newspaper clock
is one of MIR. lie Bouliat's latest triupphs
:. Another Of his designs appears to be mere
1y collection of large and small sticks held
together by wires 1t is only upon close in
spection that cne sees that it is clock con-
structed on excellent principles It keeps
very fair tinae, he%er varying more than
two minutes week.
Now and then the clockmaker receives
commissions from wealthy Frenchmen for
clocks of unique design In silver or gold,
decorated with precious stones Some OF
these clocks are entirely made Of gold, with
diamond-tipped hands, and rubies, gArnets
pearls, opals and emerald6 to represent the
ngures on the dial. Come Of his clocks are

self. and to leave 1t untouched but offered
further field of operation for the refugee
Chinese who soon came back
In Tien Tsin nothing was too insignificant
for the Chinese to loot. They carried away
their neighbors' doors, the partitions to
their rooms. and the titles of their houses.
In Pekin similar tactics were attempted,
but the fight from the capital was too
prectpitate to permit the Inhabitants to do
the job thoroughly. They burned some of
their most sacred and ancient buildings,
and carried away all that horse and man
could transport. What was left of value
the silver, jade, silks and furs-the allies
took under the natural law Of conquest.
1t was contraband Of war, and there was no
secret made of the Job.
The English, under war orders, system
atically gathered in the furs, ornaments,
and furniture from the house in their
quarter and sold it at public auction. The
Japanese devoted their energies largely to
gold, silver and munition of war, which
they shipped to japan, giving the private
free rein to collect souvenirs. The Rus
SLAMS officially ignored looting, and every
recognized and ignored the proposition.
Much loot was gathered in and shipped to
Shanghai and the Philippines and sold to
the highest bidder. The French took what
they could get. The method of the Ger
mans was questionable; they came late,
and organized punitive expeditions. But
think the punishment they administered
will rebound to the lasting benefit OF
ctvilization.-Leslie's Weekly.

Justice" asked the marquis fondly. ''Nay,
I know 1t has not. An inspiration would
have to come from that-the divine inspira-
tion Of a more than human love-"
She paled little then, but smiled with
her old chill disdain. The artist had done
her more than justice, and love had been
his inspiration-love, perhaps greater than
that of the man beside her, but love on
which her dainty foot had trodden as re-
lnorselessly, as uncaringly as on the NOR
row it would tread on the white fragrance
of the bridal roses which peasant children
would strew along her way.
A few moments the lovers paused in the
corridor hand in hand whispering softly
of the life before them, with all it's glori-
GUS promise.
Then, pushing open the heavy door which
had swung to but an hour before behind
the baron's daughter, they entered the room
In which, ON its easel, under concealing
folds of rich, ruby-hued velvet, stood the
portrait of Lenore Glenco.
Was poor Griswold still prone before it,
with his delicate face pressed against the
oaken floor, his sobs still filing the silence?
No; nor was the portrait now shrouded.
With the full. red splendor Of the dying
day striking warmly on the canvas, it
faced them as they entered.
But what vandal hand had 80 marred the
serene and lofty loveliness, SO chilled and
frozen the proud smile on the crimson
lips, so changed the blue OF the marvellous
eyes. until their light was but cruelty,
their azure but cold, steel-like glitter, that
which CLEANS upon the quarry of some
merciless lion when the fangs are in its
flesh and the life is slowly going from it :?
Aghast, shocked beyond words, with a
growing horror on his face, the marquis
looked, fascinated, yet repelled by that
pictured cruelty.
Then his face flushed and his eyes flashed.
Where is the fellow?" he asked, be-
tween his teeth. His very life shall but
poorly pay the insult given you by his
brush
With kissing cry of angry resentment,
the marquis sprung toward that notion
less, crouching figure and. laid his patri-
can hand on the dropping shoulder.
You shall answer for this cowardly
thing to mel" he cried, his face white with
passion, as he swayed the form of Griswold
In his strong grasp. y
But that form. with a helpless, lifeless
lurch, fell at his feet motionless and rigid
Heavens! the man is dead!" exclaimed
the young Frenchman. in quick accents of
horror, looking down on the white, contorted
face, with its staring eyes and. rigid
features and thread of blood winding
slowly downward from the ashen lips
