A certain practical clock maker Of
Portland has discovered a new way to
clean clocks. He recently had two very
dirty ones to clean, and as is usual in
such cases he dismembered them and
put the works into a pan of Kerosene.
This is the custom of clock makers and
when they think the works" have
soaked long enough they pick them out
piece by piece and clean and polish
them carefully. In this case the clock
maker had occasion shortly after he
put the wheels and things to soak, to
light the gas and he accidentally threw
the match with which he did this into
the pan of kerosene. Scientists and
others interested in the oil business
tell us that this sort of thing does not
ignite kerosene, that it is as harmless
as water. etc, but in this case it
proved not to be, for the oil caught fire
and blazed up at a great rate. 1t
burned until all Of the kerosene was
consumed and the works left high
and dry in the empty pan. The clock
maker simply took them out piece by
piece and cleaned and polished them as
usual. He says that the fire cleaned
them much better than the kerosene
ever did before and he is thinking of
doing it that way all the time in the
future.

years, was taken to the woods last
Sunday and freed from his cage that
his last days might be passed in liberty

his fur and take him up. but seemed
to have forgotten how to climb trees.

a life in gilded cage rather than in

3 An important incident in the real es-
tate situation is the termination OF the
long standing litigation involving what
is known as the Lansburgh tract. on
Columbia Road and Nineteenth Street
containing about ia, coo square feet.
This piece of land lies in the immediate
vicinity of several other similarly large
tracts that recently have changed
ownership, and IL is now on the market
for investment purposes. 1t is in the
line OF the Improvement that has been
steadily going on IN the neighborhood
of Rock Greek Park, and which bids
fair to continue for number Of years
until the entire territory along the line
Of the Columbia Road and Chevy Chase
Railways has undergone the change
which has been 50 vigorously begun.
The court having appointed trustees for
the sale of the Lansburgh tract, IL now
remains to be seen whether some syndi-
cate viii take hold of 1t. or II must
be ~subdiv,ded and sold in single lots
Report has it that a syndicate is al
ready in the field TO acquire the prop
erty, and that it is intended to erect
Q large and elegant apartment house
tAercon. But whether this be done or
not there cannot be much doubt that
the tract will soon find a purchaser for
some scheme of Improvement. as the
locality is most inviting to investment
