LAMPS THAT ARE CLOCKS.

They Were Commonly Used In the
@,-. Seventeenth Century. O.,
or the various examples that have
been given of early specimens Of the
clockmaker's art not the least interest
ing are the several types Of lamp
clocks. One of these was Of a kind
quite common in the seventeenth CEN
fury and consisted Of lamp burner
placed at the base Of glass oil re-
ceptacie mounted vertically on a suit
able standard. The oil reservoir had
and showing the hours, beginning at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, at which time
the lamp was to be lighted in winter,
and ending at Z o'clock in the morning.
The lamp being lighted, the gradually
descending level of the oil, as combus-
ton proceeded, marked the hours.
The other device, of later origin, dat.
ing back to the beginning Of the pres
ent century, utilized the same principle.
1t consisted Of two communicating oil
chambers, superposed by a clock dial.
In one Of the chambers was placed q
night lamp to illuminate this dial, and
In the other was suspended a float
from a cord which passed around d
small pulley. The latter was mounted
on horizontal axis ending in the CEN
ter of the dial. The float of course de
scended as the Oil was consumed and
carried the index hand along with it,
thus making the hours precisely as in
the case already cited. At their best
these timepieces could have had only
an Indifferent degree of accuracy. yet
they probably served their purpose
well and certainly are interesting at
the present time as illustrating some
Of the expedients adopted by mechani
clans of an earlier period.-Cassier's

In a Bad Fix.

Minot Optic: Angus Furgeson, form
erly a drug clerk in one of the leading
drug stores at Glenburn, was brought
TO this city Saturday evening in charge
of Sheriff Lee, having been arrested
upon a charge of rape.
A warrant was issued for Furgeson's
arrest last spring, but he could not be
located and the officers were unable to
make the arrest. A week ago Sheriff
Lee got clue as to the whereabouts
of Furgeson and last Friday he located
him in Walsh county. Sheriff Lee ar.
rested his man on Saturday morning
and landed him in the county Jail Sat.
urday night. The complaining witness
in the case is a young girl 16 years OF
age, and the daughter of prominent
Glenburn family. Since the issuance
of a warrant for his arrest Furgeson
has been married and his wife was
with him at the time of his arrest.

DIVERS PARALYSIS,

This Disease Affects Its Victims Only
Out of Water.
Divers paralysis said the second
mate, proves homeopathy to be a
fact. Homeopathy says that like cures
like. For instance, if you have a fever
take something that produces fever,
and you will recover. Well. divers pa
ralySis backs up this claim.
1.-The disease affiicts the pearl divers
Of Ceylon and the sponge divers of the
Mediterranean. 1t attacks only the
best men, the ones who go down deep
est and stay longest, and it is sup
posed to be caused by the swift
changes from one pressure of water to
another that the diver undergoes when
he pops up to the surface.
'This paralysis makes the diver
quite helpless out of water. Yet under
water it disappears altogether The
water causes divers paralysis. The
water in truly homeopathic manner
takes every vestige Of the disease
away.

there, his hands on his knees, as il

down to the bottom, he must be car

MATCHMAKING
AS A SCIENCE

Careful thought reveals facts as
to the proficiency of all profess
sional men, a skillful surgeon is
not self taught in the science of
diagnosing and performing life
saving operations; An oculist and
aurist is not self taught in the
science of the treatment of the
eye, ear, nose and throat, but be-
fore reaching the zenith of his
ambition must have absorbed the
lessons as taught by the Great
Masters Of the profession, when
practical experience coupled with
natural talent have established
him in the confidence of the pub
lie. We have entered upon an era
of specialists in every branch of
science. Just so with watchmak-
ing, "a Jack of all trades Is mas
ter of none" an apprentice in
scientific Europe is drilled by the
Past Masters of the science for
five long years, when with his
diploma he is entitled to enter the
best establishments of the world
at wages his natural skin and ex-
perience will command. For two
and one half years we have en-
ployed this class of labor, but
never before have we had the
services of one who was thorough
ly equipped with the three great
qualifications of, full apprentice
ship, natural talent and practical
experience. We charge you full
price and give you full measure,
and yet our prices are those pre-
vailing. Upon this honest pre-
sentation We respectfully solicit
your watch work.

CHANCE FOR THEM
Manager Suspicion For Chick Law. son Offers to Throw Three Waterbury Men Same
 Night.

Talk about your red-hot challenges. but the one given below is one of the warmest that has reached this office in many day. Manager Stapleton of Naugatuck generally means what he says so that if the three local grap- piers are looking for matches here is their chance The offer to BloDdin, Gresham and German is cCvtainly a beauty. However. read the challenge and judge for yourself:
 Sporting Editor Waterbury Democrat:
 Dear Sir: see by your paper that Waterbury's trio of featherweights. BlOndin, Gresham and German, are having a hot time throwing mud at each other in effort to coax each other on the mat. They all seem to have backing and if that is the case I will give them a chance to show just what kind of money it is. If they will agree to weigh 115 pounds ringside 1 will bet any part of S1OO that Chick Law son can throw all three of them on the same night in one hour and thirty min utes, of actual wrestling.

OLD GEnRGE DIXON.

Old George Dioxn, at one time the peer of all the fighters in his class, again entered the ring last night at the Stag" of the Long Acre A. C., in West Twenty ninth street, and while he proved that he still retains much of his old-time cleverness, his punch, once the terror of his opponents, has lost a good part of its sting. Dixon fought a three-round draw with Frankie Howe. The latter is a clever man himself, but it was difficult to reach Dixon, who was quick at side stepping and ducking his opponents jabs and swings. The ex-champi1n received great ovation from the crowd. many of whom had seen him ln his palmiest days.
 The final bout was slashing go be- tween Tommy Young and Art Ed munds, and at the end Young had d slight shade over his man. In the first round Young caught Edmunds off his guard at the ropes and landed q right hook to the jaw that put the latter down. Art was immediately up and mixed things. The next two rounds were fiercely contested, honors being even.

THE DIAMOND
MAY CHANGE TIME
Opening of Connecticut League May Come Very Late in Spring
 Balls Used in Leagues.

It is likely that the season of 1906 in the Connecticut Base Ball league will not be open as early as in former years. Some of the directors favor putting the opening back a week or two and then extending the season late into September. Among those who ap- prove of this plan is Secretary James H. O'Rourke.
 There are many reasons in favor of such a change in the schedule. Chief among them is the loss of cash suf- fered by the club owners during the early weeks of the season. For in stance, last season was opened before May 1 and for the first three weeks after opening there was financial loss for all of the clubs. Base ball in this league begins to pay just before Memorial day, and nearly all games played before that time are run off at loss. With the season beginning about the middle of May or so, only two weeks would be covered before the crowds would begin to show up and the game be put on paying basis Then instead of winding up the season in the first week of September, Mir O'Rourke thinks it would be d good plan to run it into the third week of that month. The attendance at these late games would no doubt be all that the magnates could desire. As a money saving proposition the suggest ed change appears to be all right, but whether it will meet with the approval of a sufficient number of the directors to be made effective is another mat ter.

 Stories of umpires are flying around the stove circuit. and a westerner who was here at the recent c0nclaves told one Of an arbitrator of some years ago in a more or less obscure organization. This umpire was careful to gauge the opinions of the crowd regarding a de. ciSion. and 10 do so adopted this scheme. The palm of one hand was turned toward himself and the other palm turned away. On a close decis- lon the umpire would keep his ears pricked up to find out what the crowd thought about it.

so on the number of rounds. Fitz put up poor argument in the ring and was evidently shamming when he be- came exhausted in his corner. Fitz Is wonderful actor when it comes to
 feigning injury in a fight and every body who knows anything about the game will back me up in this. Six months ago he nearly knocked 0'Brien out in a six round bout in Philadelphia so that it seems hard to believe the old age dodge when so short time has elapsed. If Fitz and o'Brien should meet on the level Bob would win in jig time. The fact that the referee, after the recent encounter, made an uncalled for declaration that there was no fake, was enough to sat isfy me there was something doing" In spite of thls version of the mill. however. there has been no similar outcry from the sporting men who sat around the ring the other night and saw 0'Brien come home on the bit.
