Widespread Ignorance About Clocks
There is good deal of popular ig-
norance on the subject of managing
watches and clocks. Many people
manage never to have the right time
and expend a good deal of money on
repairs of their timepieces that could
be saved by rudimentary instruction.
Pendulum clocks are especially liable
to give much trouble to the careless or
the ignorant, or to those who will not
take the trouble to learn how to use
them properly. There are many costly
pendulum clocks that never tell the
time. because the owners have given
them up in despair although there
may be nothing the matter with the
clocks except that they are not level or
that the delicate pendulum has got dis

sion.--Wheaton's Remarks
Are Overlooked.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-In the present
opinion of officials here, President
Roosevelt can not accept any present
from either Emperor William or Prince
Henry without authority from congress.
Examination of precedents is said to dis
close the fact that while in many in
stances presidents apparently received
presents from abroad, they never have
retained these except by express author
ity conferred by congress. In other cases
where gifts have not been returned to
the donor the presents have been depos-
tied by the president in the department
OF state or Smithsonian Institution. A
large number of medals and articles of
value may be seen in the library of the
state department., gifts of foreign rulers.
The war department is not disposed to
utterances, which were quoted in the
senate yesterday. This is because the
officials. after studying the Manila dis
Patch, in which Wheaton is quoted, are
that the debate in the senate
proceeded upon an entire misapprehen-
sion of what Wheaton was reported to
have said. 1t is found that Wheaton did
not criticise the senate or it's commit
tees and ii is thought at the department
the misapprehension on that score arose
from a general statement in the dispatch
attributing such criticisms to other per-
sons than Wheaton.

Success contains an interesting artl-
clet showing what may be produced
from a number of bars of iron. one each
being placed in the hands of various
mechanics. The writer says, in part:
The man who takes the first bar may
be a rough blacksmith. who has only
rarity learned his trade. and has no
ambition to rise above his anvil. He
thinks that the best possible thing he
can do with his bar is to make in into
horeshoes. and congratulated himself
upon his success. He reasons that the
round lump of iron is worth only or 3
cents pound and that 1t is not worth
while to spend much time or labor on
1t. His enormous muscles and small
skill have raised the value of the iron
from 81, perhaps, to $40.
Along comes q cutler, with a little
better education a little more ambition,
a little finer perception. and says 10 the
blacksmith: rs this all you can see in
that iron? Give me a bar and ! will
show you what brains and skill and
hard work can make of it,
When his work Is done he shows the
astonished blacksmith $1,000 worth of

$40 worth of crude horseshoes. The
value has been greatly raised by the re-
fning process.

Iowa City, Jan. 27.-Charged with be-
ing a spy, j. A. McLain of Rockford,
ILL.,, was surrounded Saturday night by
500 students and was forced to give up
a note book the pages of which We're
covered with stenographic characters.
McLain was present at debate held
by the Zetagathians and Irvings Satur-
day night, and he made many stenog-
raphic notes during the speeches of the
Iowa University men, who are to debate
with the University of Minnesota on the
same .heme-the question of retaining
the Philippines.
After the debate McLain hastily left
by Roy A. Cook and F. c. Drake of the
Iowa University. They had watched
him closely and accused him of spying
on Iowa and stealing notes for the aid
of his friends at Minneapolis.
McLain frankly admitted that he had
taken about fifteen pages of notes on
the debate, but he affirmed that he was
simply brushing UP his knowledge OF
shorthand. He earnestly denied that he
was a Minnesota student or spy for
the Gopher debaters.
He declared that he was a commercial
traveller representing an Illinois map
making house. He is young man of
prepossessng appearance, and dresses
like the typical travelling man, but his
looks had no effect on his captors, who
demanded possession of the notebook

Few of the many persons who are in
terested in copper mines and stock know
anything about the discovery of the first
copper mine in America. 1t is a legend
over in New Jersey, and the story was
often told around the Speer fireside.
Isaac Kingsland sold the farm on
which the mine was discovered to Aren't
Schuyler, who raised crops of various
kinds with success for number of
years. One day in the spring of 1913 a
negro slave, Nose by name, came to the
house with a heavy rock of peculiar
sreenish shade. He gave it to his mas
ter, saying that ii must have fallen from
the sky, as never before he'd rock like
that been found on the farm. Schuyler
was going to Perth Amboy, and put the
rock in his pocket. He showed 1t to a
friend who knew something about min
erals, and it proved to be copper ore.
Schuyler fastened back to the farm and
had the slave take him to the spot where
he had found the ore. A little prospect
ing exposed the ledge from which it
lad been broken, and the first copper
mine was soon in operation.
Schuyler was a generous man, and
wished to reward the slave. Nose. what
Go you WANT NE 10 give SOu DIS Il reward
for finding the mine?" he asked.
The negro only grinned.
You can have your freedom or any
thing else that you want" added Schuy-
Ter.

asked the negro.
ASK for it and see." said Schuyler. IL

want" said Schuyler, but | would like
to give you something more substantial
that that"
Den. massa, glib me little more
'backy,' nor was there any success in
getting him to express wish for any
thing else.
The mine was worked until the revo-
lutionary war put stop to operations.
1t made Schuyler a rich man, as rich
men went in those days. During the
idleness that followed the war the mine
was flooded, and attempts to work it
with profit have since met with failure
Another copper boom is now under way
there, a new company having taken
charge of the property. which is still
known as the Schuyler mines.
