Follow Closely on Russian Occupa-
ton of Manchuria.

New York, Dec 23.-The ST. Peters,
burg correspondent of the London
Times says all accounts agree in repre-
senting the state of Manchuria as being
very unsettled. The presence of the
Russian troops has led to most serious
abuses. Private letters describe shock
ing outrages perpetrated by hands of
Cossacks on the defenseless inhabitants.
A typical case is that of six mongois,
Russian subjects, who were sent in pur-
suit of horse thieves. They were at
tackled by Cossacks and, because they
were unable to produce passports, five
of them were tortured. and then be-
headed IN spite of their prayers and en-
treaties.

CONTROLLING PENDULUMs.

Electrical Devices For Regulating
Astronomical ClockVvork.
In astronomical work IL is essential
that the pendulums Of the standard
clocks, which govern the movement Of
telescopes and cameEps, shall them
selves be kept accurate by constant
comparisons with the never changing
"clock stars" After all the ordinary
means for securing this accuracy, such
as mercury cups and the movement of
the bob" in whatever form, are ex-
hausted, resort is made to simple yet
very accurate device. This is nothing
more or less than a little shelf fastened
upon the rod of the pendulum, on which
weights can be placed or tuken off,
making 1t go faster or slower without
running the risk of deranging the
works or affecting the experiments, as
might be the case if the pendulum were
too much handled.

ward observatory at Vaudeville, ia.

horizontal telescope with u focal length
OF no less than 1876 feet, instead Of the
weights on a shelf, which cannot be
adjusted on account OF the distance of
the operator from the clock, an elec.
trical device is employed. The observer
has a rheostat by his side. which con-
trolls the amount Of current with
magnet placed below the pendulum, the
pendulum carrying an arc shaped ar.
