TIME FOR SCOTLAND.
Ball on One Hill Drops When Cannon
ON Another Is Fired.


Speaking Of clocks" said the travel
er, Edinburgh, Scotland, has the most
interesting time marking device ever
saw. The city lies between two hills
On one Of these, known as Carlton hill
there is an observatory tower, in the
top Of which a large black ball is sus
pended. Across the valley, probably a
mile away, is Castle hill, surmounted
by the historic Edinburgh castle. One
OF the large guns in this fortress, point
ing toward Carlton hill, is electrically
connected with the ball in the tower
mile away. Every evening at 6 O'Clock
the gun is fired, and at the same mo-
ment the ball falls. The device sets
the official time for all Scotland.
ut is interesting to stand on Carlton
hill at the appointed hour to see the
simultaneous flash Of the gun on Castle
hill and the fall Of the ball close at
hand, while the roar of the gun is of
course some moments in crossing the
valley. On the other hand. it is equal
" interesting to stand beside the big
gun at dusk to watch the ball at Carl
ton hill fall just as the, shot is fired.

Of the castle, watch in hand, waiting
for the cannon just overhead to be

more exciting to watch the crowds of
passing people, especially since not

shot from the cannon. When the roar

No actual news has yet reached Lon

a naval engagement occurred off Port
Arthur of a severe character, and that
later kilograms Will show that the Hus-
SLAMS suffered a severer loss than is
yet admitted.
Nothing in the way of news has been
received here from the japanese side.
but a rumor has reached Rome that
Vice Admiral Makaroff's squadron was
attacked by the whole Japanese fleet
concealed behind the MiaOkaiO islands,
and his retreat was cut off and he was
forced to fight against odds, with the
result that all his ships were dam

surrounded by torpedo boats, struck
by I'VE torDedOes and blown up.
Another rumor is to the effect that
Rear Admiral MOlas is among those
killed aboard the PetrOpavlovsk.

rumors, but the universal opinion here
IS that the official explanations of the
disaster are unsatisfactory.

great deal OF enthusiasm. He passed
