The corDorsrs Commitments.

Gen. Wood says that while in Lon
don a year or so ago an officer of the
British army related TO him a tale of
the difficulties experienced by the
commanding colonel of the ConnaUght
Rangers in his efforts to suppress
drunkenness and disorder in the regi-
ment
Now the colonel had made up his
mind that this disorder must cease.
He decided that at the first opportun-
ity he would make an example of
the offender next found out. So. short
" afterward, a corporal who had
been on an UnhOly tear was compelled
to march across his regiments front
in his muddy and torn uniform, just
as he had returned to barracks.
This was done as an awful warning
and was calculated to appeal to the
esprit du corps. But, sad to relate,
when the corporal arrived at the left
flank he turned to his colonel, saluted
and. just as IL he had been some
swell officer inspecting them, re-
marked:
Colonel. thank ye; tbs the foin-
est regiment I've seen this many a
day Ye may dismiss themI"

WheeIIess Clocks.

A German has invented a new clock
system which has some original fea-
lures worthy of mention. The system
is that Of a master clock which con-
trolls electrically as many individual
clock installations as may be required.
The clock, which is installed in the
house or place of business of the sub
scriber to the system, is similar to the
ordinary one inasmUch as it has a face
and two hands, but the works are re-
placed by a couple of magnets and a
balance wheel The master clock is
provided with a transmitting appara-
tUs designed to be operated by the
movement OF the hands. An impulse
is sent from the wires when the hands
of the master clock advance one min
ute on the face of the dial This i'm
pulse affects the magnets in the small
clocks in a such a way that the hands
are advanced the same amount as were
the hands of the master clock This
operation is kept up indefinitely, a1d,
Of course, all the small clocks keep
exactly the sane time as the master
clock. The email clocks are inexpen-
siye and comparatively little current
is required 70 operate the system.
The invention is in successful opera
ton in several towns in France and
Germany, and is at present being in
trOduced into England.

steam Versns EIectricitv.

The steam railroads vary greatly in
their attitude toward electric compe-
titiOn, says Ray Morris in the At
lantic, but it has been almost the uni
form experience Of railroad manage
ers, east and west, that rate cuts to
meet electric competition are quite
futile. Electric transportation handles
traffic in small units The power-house
is the locomotive, and it can haul ten
single cars IS easily as it can a train
Of ten cars coupled tOgetheT-mOre
easily, in fact But in steam service,
to reverse the figure Of speech, each
transportation unit must have its own
powerhOuse- Disregarding technical
refnements, it may be said that it
would cost a steam railroad five
times as much to run an hourly,
single-car train during a ffteen-hour
day as It would to run three five-car
trains. That is the primary reason
on the side Of absolute cost which
makes it impossible for a steam road
to compete with an electric road for
light short-hau1 traffic
