NATURE REALLY BEATEN.
Commercial Production of Artificial
Indigo Is Of Great
Value.

Science is credited, in these times OF
daily wonders. with doing so much
that she doesn't do that her real mir
acles are often forgotten almost before
they are accomplished, says the New
York Globe One of these is the com.
merical production of artificial indigo.
This purely chemical process has been
so far perfected by the German chem.
lists that it has reduced the price OF
indigo nearly 20 per cent. and is rap
idyl driving the indigo plant and plant
er out of business.
The value of the natural dye annual
ly exported from India has fallen in
ten years from $17,847, 500 to $2,782 900.
In the United States, the artificial, or,
as it is technically called, synthetic,
product came on the market about
1898, and cost Al cents pound. The
price is now down to Is cents. Three.
fourths of the indigo imports into ia
pan last year were OF the artificial dye.
Into Germany comparatively insignifi-
cant amounts of natural indigo are
imported. while her exports last year
represented a value of 25,O00,00O marks
1t is estimated that already fully 50
per cent. of the worlds consumption OF
indigo is of artificial manufacture.
Somewhere back in the sixteenth CEN
tury, when indigo first began to come
into Germany in large quantities,
law was passed prohibiting its use as
a dive because 1t was running the home
industry dependent on wood. Now, as
a sort of. retributive justice the Ger
man manufacturers are flooding the
world with a laboratory product made
from coal tar which is making waste
land of the indigo fields in India.

A REMARKABLE TIMEPIECE.
Clock Contrived by Pittsburg Rail
road Man Is Something
of q Wonder.

One thousand four hundred and forty
different kinds of time at the same in
slant is one of the attachments made
possible by means of strange clock
contrived by Pittsburg railroad man,
and which, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch, was for the first time introduced
before the public recently through the
efforts of Rev. w. w Hall, of the But
Ter street Methodist Episcopal church.
The pastor desired some instructive
feature for the regular meeting of the
Lowther Brotherhood, and finally pre-
vailed upon the inventor, A. M. Lock
hart, to speak in public upon the sub
iect of Time and It's Effects" using
the clock to illustrate his theor' es. The
lecture hall was crowded with railroad
men and their friends.
The clock is more than nine feet
high and supports a dial four feet il
diameter, upon which is adjusted
correct map of the world that revolves
and by means of which it is possible
to ascertain at a glance the exact hour
at any point on the earths surface.
1t moves according to the movement
of the world, which is contrary to the
hands of the clock, and what Is more.
the hands of this particular timepiece
are stationary. The clock was con.
trived by Mr.. Lockhart, and every par.
ticle of it was shaped and put together
by him.

A BIC COST BILL.
Rountree Trial Will Cost All
Told About $1,000.

Deputy Clerk Witherspoon has been
Busy the past few days making ou'
the cost bill In the RountTee case, and
i viii be heavy bill when finished.
INT. State will have to pay the officers
cOstS, States witnesses and board for
the Jurors for the thirty-slx days con-
Fumed in the two trials. The State s
witnesses Numbered 100 and their fees
ran from $40 up to SIS. The average
VIII be about $50 90, and the total of
BoAt win be about $3.50, and the hoard
tor the jurors is about $3.50, making a
total cost TO the State of about 50, 800.
The county has to pay the jurors and
the officers who waited on the court,
which will amount to about 81 100
max ing direct cost to tine State and
county OF about 81, 700.
In sadltion TO this it is estimated
that the increase in jail fees by reason
OF the balance of the State docket
hesDg necessarily carried over and all
Ps isoIers remaining in jail till the
February term, will be something like
81, 200
Hickman county comes in for share
ct the costs by reason of the regular
term being skipped down there, ann
will probably sustain an lncI ease in
Jail fees and costs of $400 or more. The
combined attorneys fees are said to
have Deep So, 800. The defendant will
have TO pay his own witnesses and at
m average of SEQ each for seventy five
witnesses, this amount will be 81, 500
The stenographer and the transcript
noubtless cost the defendant $500. In
Cidental expenses, such as expert testI-
nOny, railroad fare. etc. will doubtless
cost an additional $500.
Taking these items altogether the
total cost OF the tIlal will be $40, 400.
