CURIOUS OLD SUN DIAL.
Relic from the House Of Thomas JET
ferson at Monticello, Va, and
Now at st. Louis.

Perhaps one of the most interesting
relics in st. Louis, and which would be
priced highly by relic hunters and anti
Quarians. is the old sdn-dial made and
used by Thomas Jefferson at his old
mansion at Monticello, near Charlottes-
Vile, Albemarle county, Va, says the
st. Louis Republic.
The property is now owned by Cor
don O'Beirne, of Charlottesville, 1t hav-
ing fallen into his hands by success
sion of events and descent. O'Beirne
sent the relic to his old friend, Capt.
Drown, secretary tc the Masters and
Pilots association, whose Office Is In
the Railway Exchange building, think
ing that he might arrange for its ex-
hibit at the worlds fair, but upon fur
their consideration decided the plan
not advisable, because Of the danger
of theft.
When the effects of Jefferson were
sold at Monticello, DR.. Moman, whose
son afterwards became resident physi-
clan Of the White Sulphur Springs, Va,
now West Virginia, bought the dial,
his son later taking it to the springs,
where he placed it in his home.
Lewis Caldwell, whose father owned
the White Sulphur springs, was an in
innate friend of DR. Moman, who,
upon his earnest desire for possession
of the relic, asked Moman for 1t, and

TEA-DRINKINc BY CHILDREN
Said by Physicians to Be Prevalent
Among Those of Poor Who
Cannot Afford Milk.

1t has been stated by physicians that
the practice of tea drinking among the
children of the poor Is very prevalent,
says the Detroit News-Tribune. Even
little ones less than two years old are
given tea to drink three times day.
The reason for this is that the parents
are not able to buy milk for the chill
dren, and, thinking that they must have
something to drink besides water, ig-
norantly give them tea, never realizing
the disastrous results that may follow to
the growing child in the way of nervous
ness and other troubles. Physicians
who work among the poor are discour-
aging this practice as far as possible and
advising water as beverage, either cold
or hot with little milk added, making
that drink known in many families as
"cambric tea" Women, too, who know
better than to give tea to babes, might
do much good by instructing those who
do not know better; not in an intrusive
way, but by perhaps saying: my doc
tor says it is harmful to give children
tea, so l have stopped It altogether" ;"
And the ignorant women, with the doc
tors opinion placed before them, will
more often than not listen and profit by
It. for they have much cQnfidenbe In a

After the goods have been placed with

only be released when the door is opened

FISHERS WHO CAN'T SWIM.
Labrador Mems Lives Often Haz-
arded Through Ignorance
Of This Art.

Few fishermen can swim, says writer
in Leslie's Monthly on Labrador. "You
see, we has enough O. the water without
goin' to bother wi it when we are
ashore" man said to me only the
other day. Yet this very man had fallen
overheard in the open sea no less than
four times and had only been saved on
one occasion by catching the line thrown
him in his teeth and holding on till he
was hauled aboard. His hands were too
numbed to be Of any use. Still, this fact
does not deter them from facing the
water In an open bay in Labrador lives
one solitary settler. In the spring of the
year, when the ice was just breaking up,
the mans two lads wereAout ON the bay
Ice after seals, when all of sudden it
gave way and the lads fell through.
The father, seeing it from the shore. did
not hesitate, but, seizing a fishing line,
hastily fastened one end round his body
and, giving the other end to his daugh-
ter to hold, he ran out to the hole
through which they had fallen. He
jumped into the water, actually went
down and fetched up the bodies, too late,
alas, to restore life to them after that
cold water.

FINDS RARE INDIAN RELIC.
Pennsylvania Youth, While Flowing
on Fathers Farm, Turns Up
a Fine Flint AK.

Doylestown, Pa.-While plowing In a
field on his fathers farm recently. FL
wood Barnes, of Doylestown township
picked up curiously shaped stonewhich
has since been founu to be a valuable
Indian ak. Barnes had picked it up
with the intention of throwing it at a
crows nest, when he remarked its pc
culiar formation and cleaned it off He
realized that the find was unusual and
kept 1t.
The stone is cut from piece of beau
tifully marked flint, five and one-quar-
ter inches long, two inches broad, and
one inch thick, with circular hole
through the thickest part. 1t weighed
four ounces. The front part is con-
cave and convex and is marked with
seven notches. The blade has 13
notches. The stone is a fine example
Of indian Workmanship.
A local authority says there is but
one other stone of the same character
known at this time, and that is deposit
ed. in the Smithsonian institution, at
Washington. A cast is in the collection
of the Bucks County Historical society.
While the stone resembles hatchet.
it is said to be memorial stone which
was worn suspended from the neck. BY
some authorities it Is said that the
notches denote the number in the tribe

ALMOST PERPETUAL MOTION
English PEERS Son Makes a Clock
Which It Is Claimed Will

All London is discussin. the "Ra-

portant step has been made toward the
solution of the problem of perpetual
motion, as it is claimed by its inventor
\ the clock will go for 1000 years
without winding.
Sir William Ramsey. the great ra-
dium expert, when asked concerning
this, said:
This radium clock is by no means
a solution or even a partial solution of
the problem of perpetual motion. The
energy giver in the clock is subject.
like other things, to the process of ex-
haustion. Even if the clock goes 1000
years, that is limited period of time.
just as "a hours is.

self a most interesting thing. and a
very ingenious piece of mechanism.
do not think that such a clock would
be very expensive luxury. as it could
probably be made for slo0."

Vulnerable folds. The three strips Of
ribbon are sewed together, and then
three rows Of tiny shirred tucks are run
directly down the back Three more
are run at each side, so that they slope
in at the bottom to give good lines to
the back Of the waist and If liked a
cluster Of shirred tucks may be run at
the sides. Only slender waists can
stand this suggestion Of thickness, how
ever, soathe woman whose waist meas
ure is more than Is would best omit the
side shirrings
Silk encased bones are put on the un-
der side of the rows Of shirrings and the
gathers tucked to these. No lining is
necessaryAin a girdle made after this
fashion, for the bones keep it properly
stretched.
Three tiny shirred tucks placed very
close together should be run directly
down the 'front.' and one cluster each side

LATEST SWINDLINC GAME.
Fake Lecturer Tells Tale Of Sorrow
and Victimizes Audiences in
Many Places.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Twelve deaths in HIS
family in two weeks is the record held
by certain lecturer on the Japanese
Russian war, who has been doing
stunts in the towns in the Mononga-
hela and Turtle Greek valleys during
the past month. At least this is the
record claimed by the lecturer. who
has had a relative die each day for IL
consecutive days.
The fellow was billed to lect Ire on
the conflict now being waged in the
far east in a number of towns in the
Monongahela and Turtle Creek val
leys. Tickets were distributed to the
school children. which entitled them
to attend the lecture and see tie NOV

Lewis Caldwell later presented the
dial to the present owners father, and
upon his death it consequently was in
herited by ODeirne.
Jefferson is said to have told his
neighbors, when speaking of the dial,
that he fashioned it from an idea which
he conceived in Paris while repre-
sentative of this country to France. He
was not only a statesman, but was a
mechanical genius, and as an amuse-
ment he often lent his mind and hands
to the execution of various mechanical
ideas.
The dial, in order to tell time, must
be set by the North star, which a civil
engineer can easily accomplish.
1t will be noticed that the Roman fig
ures on the dial run on one side of
IL, from i to 8, and on the opposite
side from to A, and not like the fig
ures on watch. This is necessarily
