Electric Time Alarm.

When the bell of an ordinary alarm
clock begins to ring the sleeper Is apt
to wake up sufficiently to think 1t will
stop soon, and as he Is not compelled
to arise and stop it. the result Is often
another nap with its consequent do
lays throughout the day. This Qbjec-
tlon has led to the designing Of the
continuous ringing alarm, Of which
several are already in use. The cleo
trio alarm, which we show In the &C.
companying picture, has Just been
patented by Simon Wolf, of Essen,
Germany, and has at least one novelty
to recommend 1t. 1t is directly con-
nected to the bed, and 1t Is impossible
for the sleeper to stop 1t until he gets
up to stay. Underneath the bed Is n
series of contact points, one Of which
Is shown In the picture, the weight
of the person forcing them together. A
clock Is used In connection with the
apparatus, and as soon as the hour of
rising Is indicated the remaining OPEN
ing or break in the wire is closed, the
current passing through the contact
points underneath the bed and causing

A source OF amaZement to continental
politicians is the facility with which
Great Britain obtains the money to carry
on the South African campaign. Even
our severest critics acknowledge that in
no other country could the many mil
lions already voted have been obtained
so readily.
This is all the more wonderful to them
when they remember that in the sense
they understand it England has no war
chest to fall back upon. The explana-
ton is simple enough. England, being
the richest country IN the world, her
credit stands high. and she is able TO
raise vast sums at a moments notice.
The case is different in France, where
they have something like seventy mil
lion pounds worth OF gold and fifty mil
lion pounds worth OF silver ready for
war time. The Austro- Hungarian Bank
possesses about. G 3o,ooo, 900 for a like
purpose. while Germany clings to the
old-fashioned system OF maintaining an
actual war chest, containing 10000, 600,
at the fortress OF Spandau. 1t is also
estimated that Russia has ready at least
6 Ioo. .ooo,o 900.

the day that pessimistic prophets say IS
drawing nigh-the day when wild war
shall run riot throughout the Eastern
Hemisphere. There is at least fIss,.

war clouds gather, and in great war it
Is tolerably certain it would all be spent
