THE BLAZE OF NOON.

Strange as 1t may seem, Uncle Sam
does not make use of the sun for reckon
ing time, but, as already described In
st. Nicholas" he turns his attention to
some of the regular steady going stars.
or "hxed stars" as they are called.
Every clear night an astronomer with
a big telescope looks at certain of these
stars and makes his calculations, from
which he can tell just when the sun
would cross the seventy-fifth meridian.
One of the great clocks in the observa-
tory is called the transmitter, because 1t
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 o'clock 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 tele-
graph wires with other towns and 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 IL O'Clock,
as a notice that the next tick will be
the noon signal, and so as to give the
operators time to connect their wires
with the standard time balls and 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 high pole ready
to drop the instant the signal comes over
the wire. In the government offices at
Washington and in many places in other
cities there are large clocks connected
with the observatory by electricity
These are so arranged that when the IL
o'clock signal is flashed over the wires
the hands Of each one of these clocks
spring to IL, no matter what time the
clock may show; in this way hundreds
of clocks are set to the correct time
each day.
Well, the moment the sun is supposed
to 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 IL IL IL o'clock.-St Nicholas.

J. A. Skinner, dealer in staple n

observation and experience that an ar
ticle extensively advertised doesn't do
as it is promised it is his duty TO pre-
vent his fellow men from s~quandering
probably hard earned wealth in its pur-
chase. 1t is just as much the duty OF
a citizen to tell his friends and acqualn-
tances about articles upon which h
can absolutely depend. Some time ago
there came to my notice a case OF a
child whose control over the kidney Sc
cretions was limited. The parents pro-
cured for it Doan's Kidney Pills at the
Alvarado Pharmacy and the treatment,
according to directions for children,
was commenced. In addition to the
limited control there was considerable
backacne, the complications fully prov
ing that in some way the kidneys were
either weakened or excited. The treat
ment of Doan's Kidney Pills so
strengthened, washed and purified the
kidneys that the annoyance ceased
