TUE "SYLPHON" MOTOR, WHICH
WILL BE USED IN CLOCK
CONSTRUCTION.

very newest thing in this line is a
clock which will run forever and new
er needs winding or any other atten-
ton, except, perhaps, occasional reg
ulation, for it is possible that the
timepiese might run trif1e fast or
slow. 1t will never be in need of
winding, and, as a matter of fact,
there is no provision whatever made
for winding the clock.
This clock is operated by motor
driven by the changes of the temper
allure which are constantly going on
in the air about us. A large factory
is about to be put into operation at
Knoxville, Tenn, where these clocks
will be made under patents which
were granted to Prof. Weston M. Full
ton, who is the local forecaster in
charge of the United States Weather
Bureau and Observatory at that
place, and also instructor of meteor
ology at the University of Virginia.
The essential feature of the profess
sor's invention is a vessel for contain
ing the liquids and gases which are
acted upon by the air. The remark
BILE thing about this vessel is that 1t
is made of metal and yet has the ca
Dacity of compression and expansion
to a very great degree without i'm
with which this has been heretofore
done in the construction of bellows
and like devices have all had the dis
advantage that they were very short
lived when any attempt was made to
make them hold certain chemicals
which Prof. Fulton makes use of, and
heretofore it was never thought that
metal was available for the purpose.
But this is what the professor has
succeeded in doing, and the vessel he
has designed is of thin sheet metal
with deeply corrugated sides. The
chemicals are sealed within the walls
of this container. and as the expan-
sion and compression takes place the
movement is transformed into power,
stored up by means of spring and
made to operate the clock. II is also
designed to make use Of this device
in the construction of an apparatus
for the purpose of raising dough for
bread without the use of yeast.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
NEW YORK'S LOSSES
FROM 26 TO "a POINTS.

New York. Dec. 27.-The bears were
aggressive again in to-day's cotton
market and after quiet time at the
opening, the market ruled fairly active
with prices breaking to below cents
for the near positions, and closing at
practically the lowest for the day.
The opening was steady at an advance
of 2 points to a decline of 3 points.
Better cables than expected impaired
steadiness to the early trading, but
there was little or no demand, and
after a quiet first hour during which
the bears seemed to be waiting for
some support to develop and make a
bulge to sell on, pressure became more
marked. Later the selling for short ac-
count was swollen by liquidation as
prices worked down catching stop loss
orders and trading which had been re-
stricted early because of wire trou-
BILE, became more active. There SEEM
ed to be nothing in the general news
to encourage the decline, but the bears
contended that the census report to
be issued tomorrow would indicate
a crop fully as large or larger than
that foreshadowed by the government
estimate on Dec. 3. Shorts of the
smaller kind seemed about the only
buyers on the decline and the market
was finally barely steady at a net loss
of 26 to "a points with January SELL
ing around 6SSc. Sales were esti-
mated at 900 bales.

demonstrated to-day when prices drop

est OIL rumor which afterwards
proved without foundation, that Col.
Shcpperson had estimated this years
crop at 1860, 900 bales: Col. Shepner-
son denies that he made any estimate.
and 1t is evident that the rumor arose
from calculation which he made.
based on the bureaus estimate of
growth r. 162.700 bales. of an average
net weight of 500 pounds. He figures
that adding 100000 bales for linters

reached of i2.462.70O bales of 500

WARE q LELAND
Say the Cotton Market Gets Weaker
ms IL Declines.

. New York. Dec. 27-Prices were about
unchanged this morning. but before
long shorts selling started and before
afternoon the low prices of the season
were reached. March sold at 7.05 and
January broke below cents. Not since
the advance in cotton started in 500
has the price been as low as it was
to-day. There must be a sight of cot
ton for sale as well bear pressure of
the most powerful kind. This was
due to the coming report tomorrow
and the feeling that a large showing
would be made.
Some looked for more than 1850, 900
bales ginned up to Dec. 49, and
this would indicate a crop of fully
l2,5OO,O00 bales to be ginned in the final
report AS there was no support of any
kind the bear pressure had decided eff
feet on prices. The average trader
was on the short side. There seems
to be no staying power and as bears
now have the market in control they
will press their advantage until some
thing comes up to turn the market.
The market gets weaker as it declines.
On a further sharp break we would
risk the buying side rather than sell
short

At the close of the local spot mar
ket yesterday the quotation COMMITTEES
for the second time this season de-
cided that prices were not quotable.
The condition that brought about such
a decision was due to the heavy slump
that took place in the futures markets
at New York and at New Orleans. due
it is believed, to the discounting of the
first instalment of the ginners' report
which is due to-day. The list at both
markets reached new low levels not
only for this season but for several
years. and the close was at about the
lowest point of the session.
