OLDEST CLOCK IN ENGLAND.

From the London Chronicle.
Peterborough cathedral has the Oldest
working clock in England. 1t was erect
ed about 1920 and is probably the work
of a monastic clockmalSer. 1t is the only
one now known that is wound up over
on old wooden wheel This wheel is
about twelve feet in circumference, and
the galvanized cable, about 300 feet in
length, supports leaden weight of three
cwt. which has to be wound up daily.
The clock is said to be of much more
primitive construction than that made
by Henry de Nick for Charles V of
France in 1870. The clock chamber is
in the northwest tower, some 800 feet
high where the sunlight has not pene-
trated for hundreds of years, and the
winding is done by the light of a candle.
The gong is the great tenor bell of the
cathedral. which weighs 81 cwt., and it
is struck hourly by an eight-pound ham
mer. The gong and the striking parts
of the clock are some yards apart. com
munication being by a slender wire. The
clock has no dial The time is shown on
the main wheel of the escapement which
goes round once in two hours.

SAW A LIVE oKAPi

From the London Mail.
Major James Harrison, Traveller and
sportsman. has just returned to England
after an adventurous period of big game
hunting in the great forest of Centre
Africa.
Yesterday he related the story of his
experiences: Il started a few days after
Christmas and made my way down to
the Stanley forest, where the pygmies
are. / saw many of the pygbies. They
used to keep away from us on our APP
proach. but afterward hung on our rear.
They are keen little people and good hunt
ers. none was over three feet ten inches
In height
"Failng to find the okapi / worked up
to Jabir. and thence into the great forest
of De Melley. The trees Of the forest were
so interviewer with tangled creepers and
underwood that one had often to crawl to
make ones way through it. On the sixth
DAY in the forest we came ON the spoor of
okapi. We had been following it for
hours when. ON suddenly turning round
a bush / saw an okapi not more than
fifteen feet in front of me.
1T was an animal something like a
giraffe, some ten to eleven feet high of a
tawnv gray in color. with stripes over
the loins. 1t was gone like a flash into
the thicket long before l could get my
rifle from the native who was carrying
II I never saw the okapi again"

$500 at the mine last year is nosT
worth but 80 cents. Pocahontas coal
has fallen from $500 to $1.05 at the
nine. The freight to tidewater from
all three districts is $1S5, thus bring
ing the price f o. b. tide at about
s225.
The production has been reduced
about one-third. but this has had no
effect upon prices. and, the mine own
ers begin to think there must be either
further curtailment or a reduction in
the cost of mining. The cost of min
ing is scarcely met by present prices,
and the situation is full of difficulty.
Thus far there has been no strikes
and few shut-downs, but all are APP
prehensive there will be plenty of
both soon. All seem to consider So
cents at the mines as the line where
profits cease and losses begin, and
prices at all the mines are not Far
from that line.

Southern Mills as Bears.

A dispatch from Charlotte, North
Carolina, states that eff conditions ex-
LIST as at present seyenty-five per cent
Of the mills will close down in the
months of July and August" 1t is
conceded that there is now a margin
of profit between the price of cotton
and the manufactured product, and yet
the southern mills propose to join the
eastern mills in general shutdown.
This seems unfair on the part of the
southern mills, because the entire
movement is simply drive against
the price Of the staple. 1t is but an
attempt TO bring back five-cent cotton,
for. although they know over one-half
of the crop is exported unspun. They
are willing to sacrifice the general
good in order to put more money in
their own pockets. The action of the
eastern mills is not a bit surprising,
but it seems unnatural in southrn
mills to strike at the one great crop
Of the south.
No southern mill can make money
by shutting down in July and August,
because such a policy would scatter
operatives widely. Many of them
will go back to farms, and they will
not be apt to return until the picking
season is ended in November or De-
cember Those of them that make
crops of any sort will stay until these
crops are harvested. Decentralization
and dispersion will reign among the
operatives, and there is not a mill
that cannot better afford to keep its
spindles in operation, even if the mar
gin of profit is small. At any rate
southern mills should not take part in
a movement that is aimed directly at
the southern farmer. Such action
would prove unseemly, Improbable
and unneighborly.

WONDERFUL STORY.
Told by Diver Who Visited the Sunken
PetropavIovsk.

From the London Chronicle.
The Moskovsld Listok contains a Curl
Gus legend contributed by correspond
ent who hear 1t in the village of Tailitsa.
The story pnrports to be the experience
of diver who went down to the bottom
of the sea to inspect the sunken Petro-
pavlovsk. He saw Admiral Makaroff and
his officers and sailors all standing ON
the deck of the Inflated battleship, to-
gether with Father Alexis. the priest,
who went down with ner They were
singing and praying for the ear, crying,
Lord have mercy upon Thy people.
Then they all vanished and the diver
was left alone with Father Alexis, who
drew nearer to him and said:
Go back to daylight. Be silent for
three days and three nights. and then
tell everything you have seen and heard.
Tell them that we are praying in the
wilderness of the ocean. The Lord will
hear our prayer and give strength to our
car Then the PetropaviovsK, battered
and crippled, will rise from the bed of
The sea with us all, and Admiral Maka-
rolf will hold d review of his fleet and
command it to go to the japanese capital
TO dictate peace to the vanquished foe.
And the whole fleet will sail past the
Petropavlovsk with music, God Save Our

the sea-this time for all eternal ages"

before she took the cross to the jeweier.

Twenty-Five Mergenthalers and

Public Printer Palmer has decided to
test the two leading machines, each

sets a solid line, and an error causes
the resetting of the entire line. In

Both are expensive.

IT HE well-known writer and lee
Wy turer Mr.. George KEENAN,, is now
in Japan, as correspondent for
the Outlook In a recent letter to that
magazine, Mr.. KEENAN, says 1T is not
improbable that the day of the war cor
respon lent has passed. Facility of tele-
graphic communication throughout the
world has made him almost as danger
out as spy. and the example set by Ja-
pan is likely to be followed hereafter by
every great power that finds itself en-
gagged in war
There is another side to this question
which gives probability to a view that
the day of the war correspondent is even
now dawning it will be a different
sort of day from that whose close is
noted by Mr.. KEENAN,. Nations like japan
and Russia may be content with official
reports from military sources, more or
less garbed to suit political exigencies.
The English and the American people
want to know, and feel that they have a
right to know, what is being done from
day to day by their troops in the field.
They want the details of camp and cam
raign life, accounts of valor and hero
ism and stories of victories. To them,
their armies are aggregations of men who
are sons. brothers, fathers, husbands or
personal friends. in whom they have
direct and personal interest. A British or
