He could not see her doing it, he only

Central Paris to Be DESTROYED?

An extra lachrymose prophet is now
distributing handbills on the boulevards
announcing the destruction of the cen
trail parts of Paris by fire The new
Jeremiah says: This wicked city is
about TO suffer the fate of Sodom and
Gomorrah. for heaven is angercd against
it. Paris IS under a heavy curse. II is
only, however, the eleven arrondiSse-
ments of the center that will suffer. The
outlying districts will he spared. ut
least in part, by the devouring fire from
on high. The prophet says that he is
sorry to have to speak in this manner,
but he cannot help himself. for duty inn
pels him to publish his prediction, and
he does so with tears in his eyes. The
fire, he adds. will be terrible. People
will be swallowed up shrieking in the
flames and there will be no chance Of es-
cape. The prophet does not say when
his big blaze will be expected, but he
advises all prudent residents to fly away
from the doomed city as Lot and his
wife fed from the birthstone and fire
thar rained over the Biblical places al
ready referred to.-paris Correspondent

Marking Time.

The worlds best timekeeper is said to
be the electric clock in the basement Of
the Berlin observatory, which was in
stalled by Prof. Forester in 1863. It is
inclosed in an alright glass cylinder. and
has frequently run for periods Of two or
three months with an average daily deyi-
alton Of only fifteen one-thousandths Of a
second. Yet astronomers are not salts
fed with even this. and efforts are con-
tinually made 10 secure ideal conditions
for n clock by keeping it not only In an
alright case, but in an underground
vault, where neither changes of tempera-
ture nor Of barometric pressure shall
ever affect it.-New York Tribune.
