HOW TIME is REGULATED.
Uncle Sam Governs His Clocks by obserV-
Inq the Position of a Star.

ing the Position of a Star
Strange as it may seem. Uncle Sam
does not make use of the sun in reckon
Ing time, but as already described in St
Nicholas, he turns his attention to some
of the regular. steady going stars. or fix
ed stars" as they are called. Every clear
scope looks at certain of these stars and
makes his calcula tionS, from which he
can tell Just when the sun would cross
the SeVenty-fifth meridian. One of the
great clocks in the observatory is called
the transmitter, because it transmits or
sends out the signal that keeps standard
time; This clock is set and regulated
by the star time, and then every day at
three minutes and fifteen seconds before
II a switch is turned on and the beats of
the pendulum of this clock are sent by
electricity over the wires to the telegraph
offices in Washington and New York
When the telegraph operators hear this
sound on their instruments they know
that the noon signal is about to be sent
out and they at once begin to connect
the telegraph wires with other towns
ana cities until in a minute or two the
tick. tick of the clock at Washington
Is heard in hundreds of telegraph offices.
The beats stop at ten seconds before u
as notice that the next beat will be
the noon signal. so as to give the opera
tors time to connect their clocks. There
are time balls in a great many cities
usually on top of some prominent building
where they can easily be seen. The one
at washington is on the roof of the state,
war and navy department building, at
the top Of a high pole. ready to drop the
instant the signal comes over the wires
In the government offices at Washington
and in many places in other cities there
are large clocks connected with the OBJ
servatory by electricity. These are so
arranged that when the II o'clock signal Is
flashed over the wires the hands Of each
one of these clocks spring to u, no mat
ter what. time the clock may show; in
TINS way hundreds of clocks are set to the
correct time each day
Well. the moment the sun is supposed
70 cross the seventy-fifth meridian the
telegraph instruments give a single tick,
the time balls drop, the clocks begin to
strike and everybody in the district
knows it is II ocIock.-St. Nicholas.

territory, comprising enormous pla.

mountains beside which the Himalaya
and the Andes would look like hillocks
and trem endous hollows or basins only
to be compared with those On the face

While there are great mountains and
huge basins or deeps, the plateau areas
are by far the most extensive. Rela-
lively speaking, the floor Of the Pa
cific is now at last revealed on the
plateau areas in level. There are I'm.
dulations and depresslons, but the gen
eral area is about the same depth be-
low the surface.

Farmers Wife Is Taken Away 6y
Kidnapper.
Davenport, Iowa, Aug. 19.-One or
the most daring kidnapping cases IN
the history of the Middle West was
perpetrated near Sunbury, Iowa, sun
day night, when Mrs. John HilsroW,
the wife of a wealthy Iowa farmer
living near Bennett. was kidnapped
and $4,000 was demanded for her ran
som. Sunday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Hilsrow were called upon by an I'LL
known stranger and told that their
son, who lives at Walcott, Iowa, was
very seriously i'll and that they were
wanted at the bedside at once, and
prepared to go with him. After they
had been driven to within two miles
of Sunbury, seven miles from Bennett,
Hilslow was thrown out of the car
rage and told to bring $4,000 to a Sc
STUDDED spot near Bennett on Monday
night He was also told that if he told
and officer he would be killed before
night Hilsrow returned home at once.
Mrs. Hilsrow was driven on several
miles by her captor and then taken
through a cornfield to deserted farm
house. Here she was imprisoned in
the cellar for the greater part of the
night, when she managed to get out of
the building and returned to her home.

Marrow Escapes from Death.

Fantastic escapes from death were
by no means uncommon features of
the Boer war. There was exhibited
some time ago in the museum of the
Royal United Service Institution one
Of Queen Victorias chocolate boxes,
in the lid of which is still deeply i'm
bedded a mauser bullet. To that same
collection there has just been added
an even more remarkable relic. This
is silver cigarette holder case,
which was struck by bullet at a dis
lance of 1920 yards while it was in
the pocket of captain of the Imperi-
al Yeomanry. The curious part about
1t is that the officer was not aware
until afterward that he had been
struck, although the bullet also
pierced the sovereign purse and Gig
arctic case which he was carrying in
the same pocket.

attend the dedication of monument

While the exercises were in progress
a carriage team took fright, ran away
and upset the vehicle. Edwin Gala

leg broken, the jagged bone severing

STRENGTH OF MEN AND OXEN
Bulk for Bulk, the Former Are the
Stronuer,

Bulk for Bulk, the Former Are the
Stronger.
Few people know that man, bulk
for bulk, is stronger than an OK but
it appears that such is the case The
matter was tested not long since at a
fair In America, one OF the attractions
of which was contest of yoke of
oxen against an equal weight Of men.
A drag was loaded with granite blocks,
weighing in the aggregate 1859
pounds The yoke of oxen that made
the trial weighed 1920 pounds, and
twenty men, allowing 100 pounds to
the man, were set against them. The
men took hold of the drag first, and
easily walked off with it, covering
distance of IS feet in the space Of two
minutes The oxen at their trial moved
only eighty-five feet in the same length
of time, and the men we're accordingly
declared winners.-Pearson's Weekly.
