THE NOISY FRENCH CLOCK.
Leads a Strenuous Life and RccuirCs
tho MuMiag influence Of a
Strong Mattress.

Have you heard, perhaps, a modern
French clock-clackcty-clack, clackety-
click, push-push-push? asks a writer in
the Atlantic. There are always orna-
ments On the shelf where it stands, and
ornaments on the table, and on the floor.
1t has gilt on its face and jewels ON its
hands, and it lives very fast-GO minutes
to the hour and "a hours to the day
hurried hours, breathless minutes,
crammed to the brim with excitement.
Carbohydrates, cla~ckety-click, push
~push-push, quick-quick-quick! When
| find one in the chamber where / am
to sleep, | always look carefully aboist
for some safe hole in which to bestow
it. If no other offers, my trayeling-bag
will at least mufie it's strenuous voice
till the coming Of the morn. But alas.
If the clock be small and round and
easily hidden from sight in stray cor
ners of the bag! Twice have | borne
away the timepiece offered for my delec-
tation. Twice has it fallen to my lot to
explain to an energetic hostess my pe-
culiar conduct. Now I always put it TN
der the mattress, If l go away and for
get it, l am only regarded as a little
crazy, which is surely better than roll
ing up a reputation for kleptomania.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE READING
Extraordinary Demand for Books
About Russia and Japan
Caused by the War.

Al all the libraries the Russo-Japanesn
war has caused 81 great demand for
books relating to the countries and he
peoples involved; land books that had
long lain uncalled Ter on the shelves are
now in constant circulation, says the
New York Sun.
At one branch q the New York pub
lie library, for example, a visitor who
wanted something about Russia, found
only two books in, hnd these the least de-
sirable. out of Il list of thirty-odd con-
tanned in this branch library's cata-
logue. Everything else about Russia,
history, travels ahd romance. was out.
including books That this visitor had
often seen in tho library, apparently
never called for.
The same is truf as to the demand for
books on Japan.

Held on Police wifi, shotgun.

TAMAQUA, Pa, April 11.-August
~Luckenbach, a little old mani here, had
been drinking heavily for some time
and maltreating his family, and there
was a warrant for his arrest. When
Chief of Police Mclean went to the
house to serve the warrant the trouble
began. AS Mclean entered the yard
Luckenbach appeared with q double
barrcled shotgun. a crowd collected,
and Luckpnbach fired into it, entered
the house and locked the door. For
tunately he fired low, and, although
some were hurt severely, it is not
expected that any of the nine victims
will die from their wounds. Lucken-
bach threatened the first person who
approached the house and for two
hours held the crowd at bay, six men
yr4ns necessary to convey him to Jail.

COLCHESTER, Conn, April 11.-Al.
though the police of this county have
kept up their diligent search for John
Marks, the man alleged to have muir.
dered Joseph Phvoll, whose terribly
mutilated body was found in a cellar
way on Marks farm Friday, not a
trace of him has been discovered.
Sheriff Jackson and a number of depu-
ties have searched the country for
miles about this place In an endeavor
to get a clew to Marks whereabout,
but have met with no success since
Marks escaped them in a swamp. Ee
stated that he believes Marks is in
Chesterfield, ten miles from here,
where the alleged murderer is sup.
posed to have many friends. 1t is said
That Marks has cut off his long gray
beard, which will MAKE the task of
finding lin much harder.

THE COMMERCE OF KOREA
Statistics Prepared at Washington
Show the Value of Its
Open Forts.

Commercial Korea in 1904' is the
title Of a monograph just Issued by the
department of and labor
through its bureau of statistics. 1t Gis-
cusses commercial anL other conditions
In Korea, showing area, population,
transportation facilities, railways, tele-
graphs, postal service and foreign COM
merce, including imports and the coun-
tries from which they are drawn. and eX-
ports and the countries to which they
are sent. The population of Korea the
monograph in question puts at about
$1,000, 900 in round numbers, the area
at about equal to that of the state of
Kansas, and the foreign commerce at
about $12,0 00, 900, of which imports form
about $500, 900.
Commercially. the development of
Korea begins with 1876, when two ports,
Gensan and Fusan, were, upon tho in
sistence of japan, opened to trade with
that country only. In 1882 Admiral
Shufeldt, of the United States navy, Wis
tied Korea and secured a treaty of
friendship between the United States
and Korea, by which American vessels
were given access to its treaty ports and
the safety of American vessels and cit
liens assured. This was followed by
treaties with Germany and Great Brit
ain in 1883, Russia and Italy in 1884,
France in 1856, Austria in 1892 and China
in 1897. With the opening of the treaty
ports and the establishment of com-
merce an official record of Korean i'm
ports and exports tegan. In 1902 the i'm
ports at the treaty ports amounted to
about $1,000, 900 and the exports of Ii er-
chandise to'about s4, 200, 900.
The most important articles in the
export trade are rice, beans, ginseng and
hides. Of the importation cotton goods,
silk piece goods, kerosene oil, railway
materials, mining supplies and bags and
ropes for packing are the chief.
The foreign commerce is carried on
through the t1eaty ports of Chemuipo,
Fusan, Woman, Chinampo, Mokpo,
Kunsan, MaSap1po and Song Chin.

DECREASING GERMAN WOOL
Solvent Process Is Employed, Which
Performs the Work
Thoroughly.

The solvent process employed in de-
Hreasing wool consists essentially OF
treating the wool, in closed digesters
with yola; sle solvents-like benzine
petroleum spirit, carbon bisulphiGe, OF
carbon tetrachloride-until a complete
extraction is effected. One Of the prin.
clpal features of a new solvent process
is the employment of compressed gas
as a forcing or motive power to circulate
the solvent through the wool under
treatment. 1t is used to press the liquid
solvent out of the wool as well as to blow
out of 1t such solvent as has net been
removed by pressure. II is also used
as a heat-carTying medium to the wool
n as ac:rrying medium for thu solvent
vapor from the wool. It is furthermore
used as an atmosphere wherein to carry
on the extracting operation, both fol
covering the solvents in the reservoirs
and for taking the place of the solvent
removed from any part Of the apparatus.
This prevents the ignition Of the solvent
vapor by any spark which might acct
dontally be communicated to it, and
since the gas is always moved in a
closed circuit it prevents the loss Of
solvent vapors and can be used repeat
eddy without limit.
The saving effected by the solvent
process to establishments that decrease
and work their own wool for worstco
purposes can be expressed in round num-
bers as averaging one penny per pound,
figuring on the geasy wool. This saving
is made in the cost of the soap, which is
entirely dispensed with by the new
process; in a greater yield of the wool
hbers, since none of it is dissolved by
soap Il alhali; in q larger proportion
of top to noil, because the wool, being
free from any felted parts, cards and
combs freely without breakingthe fibers
or the making of nibs; in a larger pro-
duction Of the cards, combs, and drawing
and spinning machinery; in the supe-
rior softness and appearance of the fin
ished product; in the wool fat removed;
and in the potash recovered. The cost
of the Decreasing operation, including
labor, solvent, power, interest, deprecia-
ton, etc, is, it is estimated, more than
covered by the soap saved.
