may infer that it was the former verge
escapement which was later suppressed
ed by the pin escapement, which was
more simple and handy and more
adapted to good timekeper. All the
parts of these early clocks were made
of iron, instead of which modern
clockmakers use bronze, brass, steel
and castings, when such can be en-
ployed with advantage. From the
standpoint of the employment of gen.
eral mechanical principles very few
innovations are noticed
The question has often been moOted
whether this specimen of the hOrolog-
ical art is the original clock of Sor-
bonnie of Richelieu's time, or, as has
been claimed by many, the one put in
it's place ~ Lepante, who might have
been the maker of more modern sub
stitute. The clock frame and the parts
composing the clock of the Polytech-
mic School, obsolete, was christened
Berzelius. This great Swedish chem
ist, who taught at the school, had the
habit of repeating each year the clas-
sic demonstration of asphyxiating
some live bird under the globe of the
pneumatic machine.
During the appointed day sparrow
condemned to show the effects of an
air vacuum had been placed on the
fatal disk Of the instrument, when
cry Of pity was raised by the scholars
in the birds favor. At their solicita-
tons Berzelius suspended the expert
ment and restored the bird to lib
erty, and it soon revived and took
fight. The next day after this mem
orable one the sparrow, or more likely
one of it's kind, perched upon one Of
the hands of the clock and remained
there. This occurrence happened dur
ing recess, which was prolonged until
some one noticed the stoppage of the
clock.
1t was universally asserted by cred
ulous persons that this extraordinary
phenomenon was a positive manifes-
tation of the gratitude of the little
sparrow. But as he neither left his
card nor his name, it was decided that
the professor should lend his for the
occasion, and it was appropriated
without his consent It was in this
manner that the illustrious Swede was
compelled, without knowing it, to lend
his name for commemorative a tower
clock.

A Very Brave Man.

Mrs. Emma E. Porter, of Marys-
vile, sister of Congressman Calder
head, tells this story: Evelyn is the
little daughter of a Marshall county
family. She is very cowardly. Her
father, finding that sympathy only in
creased this unfortunate tendency, de-
cided to have a serious talk with his
little daughter on the subject of her
foolish fears.
Papa" she said at the close of his
lecture, when you see a cow amt
you 'fraid?"
mo; certainly no, Evelyn
when you see horse amt you
'fraid?"
"No, of course no.
when you see a dog amt you
'fraid?"
mol"
when you see a bumblebee amt
you 'fraid?'
"No!" with scorn.
"Ain't you 'fraid when it thunders? p
"No!" with loud laughter. ooh, you
silly, silly child"
Papa" said Evelyn, solemnly,
"ain't you 'fraid of nothin' in the
world but mamma ?"-Short Stories.

Bald Heads and Disease.

There are advantages accruing even
from bald heads. It is pointed out by
writer in medical journal that bald
headed men never suffer from con-
sumption and that tendency to bald
ness is an assurance that the dreaded
scourge will pass over him whose
thatch grows thin.
At first glance it would seem absurd
to argue that a mans hair is indica-
tive of his immunity from disease, but
the writer who advances this novel
theory declares that in the five years
during which he seriously added a rec
ord of his patients hair or lack Of it
his case cards have failed to show a
single instance of "bald" being entered
upon the card of a consumptive.
He had under treatment more than
TOO cases and he makes the further
statement that in census of more
than 5000 tuberculosis cases he failed
to discover a single sufferer who was
bald.
He makes no effort to explain his
theory upon medical grounds, but sim
ply offers the results Of his obserya-
tons for the benefit Of the profession
and has invited his brother physicians
to write him of any case Of a bald
headed consumptiye coming under
their observation.

An Evil Star.

Every profession has it's own pecu-
liar superstitions," said Detective
Armstrong one night in the Hall of
Justice, where there was nothing do
ing and the cigar smoke was thick,
land the profession of the thieftaker
presents no exception to the rule. For
instance, have you ever heard of the
dislike, the morbid fear rather, which
policemen manifest when called upon
to wear the star of some member of
the force who has come to disaster
who, say, has been broke or who
has been killed or badly hurt in a
fight or accident? Well, it is a fact.
The men simply finch from wearing
such a star. | remember some time
ago there was star which had
really remarkably large number Of
such stories of misfortune told of It's
former wearers, and one after another
of the men who had to wear it came
to some bad end. I forget the number
just now, but there are many mem
bers of the force who can tell you o.
the evils which came upon men who
had to pin that particular star to
their breasts while on duty. One man,
| recall, was kicked so severely in
tussle with roughs that he died. An
other got into trouble with his super
ior officers and was dismissed from
the force. And so it went. Finally
some bright-witted chap to whom it
fell to wear that ill-omened star
thought Of a way to break the hoodoo
SPELL He had another star exactly
like it, bearing the same number,
made at his own expense, and wore
that instead of the old one, which he
destroyed. And, as a matter of fact
and record, it may be said that no
bad luck came to him thereafter" -
San Francisco Chronicle.

ORIGIN OF TOWER CLOCKS.

How One of the First in Europe Was
Named After Great Swedish Chemist.
"At what time may tower clocks
for the use of the public at large have
been introduced?"
This is question which has often
been asked by many horologists,
among them Hainaut of Rouen, in
France, but has never been satisfac
torily answered, says the Revue In
ternationale d'Horlogerie.
This much, however, seems to be
admitted, that public clocks were first
introduced by the Arabs in Germany.
And the first clock of this kind was
set up in Paris, in the Town Hall, or
Court of Justice, at the instance of
Charles ", who had ordered it to be
made by German artist named Henri
de Vic, who completed it in the year
1870.
But it was only a few years later
when a Norman, Jehan de Felains,
made another clock of this kind,
which was set up at Rouen, and this
one was remarkable, owing to the fact
that it struck quarters. 1t may be
mentioned in this connection that the
clock made by Jehan de Felains must
have been superior one, because it
continued to render service for CEN
tury after the one made by Henri de
Vic had disappeared. Still we have
an accurate and detailed description
of the latter furnished by Monet in
the first chapter Of his horological
treatise, as stated by Julien Leroy in
his memoranda.
From this description we learn that
from the earliest time this style Of
clock has hardly undergone any radi-
cal change in it's elementary construc-
ton, except in so far as the trains,
both going and striking, were placed
in their frames vertically, i. e., one
