London by means Of special wires
once every hour at a charge of els
per annum. Provincial subscribers
pay the postoffice from 912 los.
to as much as $40 for advising them
the correct time once a day. The dis
tribution of the time signal to the
provincial postoffice at 10 a. m. and l
p. m. is sent over the ordinary wires,
and the whole of the telegraph bust
ness of the United Kingdom is inter-
rupted several minutes daily and the
lines cleaerd for this purpose.
Altogether, this company controls
over 1000 clocks in London. Every
hour of the day and night they are set
to correct Greenwich time in a manner
that is almost uncanny. When the
time signal is received at Queen Vic
toria street from Greenwich it is in
stantly communicated by electricity
over the company's wires to every
clock connected with their system. The
electricity, by the help of a magnet,
operates two needles, which may be
detected in the face of the clocks, in
a little slit above the number XII.
Every hour these needles close and
bring the figure, thus regulating it to
one-hundredth part of a second with
the great timekeeper at Greenwich.
From this one room clocks are con-
trolled over an area of sixteen square
miles. To accommodate this hundreds
of miles of private wires are called in
to requisition. Should the current for
any reason fail, the operator, by an
ingenious device, can tell exactly
where the line is broken, and men are
instantly sent to repair IL. Equally
wonderful is the arrangement by
which the clocks are made to auto
matically report themselves every
hour by acknowledging receipt of the
signal. failure to do this meaning that
the clock is not working. The synch-
ronizing instrument by which the clock
is automatically regulated can be at

way interfering with it or altering it's
appearance.
The charge made by the Standard
Time Company for regulating clocks in
London is 93 IS per annum. Many of
the clocks connected with this COM
pany's system are lent by it, no extra
charge being made for the timepiece.
They also telephone time signals to
number of country subscribers for 1
guinea per year.
1t is somewhat startling to learn
that there is only one clock in London
that is regulated from Greenwich SOLE
ly for the convenience of the public,
namely, Big Ben. True, there are
many other clocks connected with the
Standard Time Company's installation
that are made to keep time with the
mean solar clock at Greenwich. the
cost of which is borne by private in
dividuals. In this respect London is
much behind the continental cities. In
Berlin, for instance, there are nearly
fifty public clocks connected with the
observatory there which keep correct
time to within a second. The cost of
maintaining these timepieces is de-
frayed by letting the advertising
spaces on the clock towers.

When a man in Butte. Mont, Chi
cago, Omaha or San Francisco ac-
ouires millions beyond his fondest
dreams, he decides that it is time for
him to storm the social citadel, not
in his own town, but along with other
multi-millionaires in New York City.
He moves into Millionaire Row,
builds himself a castle, and bids the
petticoated members of his household
do their best. Sometimes their best
is the worst, as society with a big 5
sees it. Then the climbing of the So
comedy, according to ones point of
view.
To be notable as a climber of the
present, it is necessary to have mount
ed so far that society takes notice,
and to still be reaching out for an
unassailable anchorage. The minute
this ladder is grasped, one loses pres
tige in the world of mounters, and
naturally becomes climber of the
past. The far-famed Letters, of Wash
ington, whose ascent it seems was be-
gun but yesterday, having landed a
daughter as Vive Empress of India,
can be regarded courteously as rest
ing on their oars.
Happily for those who like climb
ing the act every year is becoming
easier-that is, the required personal
endurance is no less, but the openings
through which one may push the first
wedge are more numerous.
Millions, it is nowadays more po-
lite to speak of billions, still have a
way of their own in skipping over
social barriers; but they are not al
ways dependable. Perhaps it still
rankles within Mrs. Huntington that

To the rank outsider, invited to at
tend one of its Saturday evening func-
lions, the Authors Club is interesting
because there he can see just what the
curious creatures who write books are
like. AS a rule, the outsider gets
quite a shock, for, whereas, he prob
ably looks for long hair, dirty finger
nails perhaps, and. anyway, rather
shabby clothes, together with soulful,
distracted faces and much posing and
attitudinize, he actually sees men that
neither in dress nor manner could be
readily distinguished from the general
run.
Whatever may have been the finan-
cial or social standing of the writers
of Grub street in London century
ago, the writer's of America to-day,
though not literary giants, perhaps,
are at least up to the average of sue
cessful men as to manners, obvious
financial resources, general personal
appearance and the observance of the
conventionalities.
Whether Mr.. Stoddard was ever shut
out of the Century Association or not
l do not know, but Of course, he is
not eligible to the University Club and
the Authors Club was a favorits with
him from the first, even as he has
been one of its most popular members
ever since its beginning.

time in fifteen years. says a press dis
patch from Oyster Bay. Long Island.
President Roosevelt did not act as Kris
Kringle in person at the Cove school.

his elevation to the head of the nation.
Last year the President could not spare
the time to come here. and this year
events have been pressing too fast
about him to admit of his coming.
Some days ago Mr.. Roosevelt sent a
little slip OF paper bearing his auto
graph, which enabled the principal TO
deal more literally with her charges
than she had been able to do before
The sleds. games and dolls were more
costly than usual and the candies in
greater quantities. There were two
trees instead of one, and Miss Provost.
