gusta people as they will be able to
leave on the morning train at 6.37 and
connect with Mr.. Robbins party which
leaves Portland at 9.O5. The party
will arrive i'm quebec at P. NJ, Mon

AN UNIQUE CLOCK,
Augusta Man Owns One Made Almost
Entirely by Himself,

H. A. Smith of Bridge street has q
clock that he has built almost entire-
/ ly himself. which is rather an unique
affair. as well as being quite a valua Bile
piece Of property.
Mr.. Smith is n carpenter, and during
a recent illness occupied his spare mo-
ments in building this clock which
Is large hall timepiece standing
feet in height. 1t is built entirely of
mahogany, and there is not a nail on
the outside Of the entire structure.
He secured the works in England. at
considerable expense, and the dial and
works are of a pattern that is seldom
seen on this side Of the ocean, the
bands and numerals are of brass. while
the remainder Of the dial is of coin sill
yer. The dial is also of style that is
most artistic. the outlines being of an
antique pattern unlike any seen here
abouts
Perhaps the most interesting thing
about the timepiece is a device for de-
termining the position of the moon.
This is set above the dial of the time
piece. and contains moving orb,
which is a fine imitation of the moon.
and which by an automatic arrange
nent moves. daily. in such a manner
rs to occupy exactly the same posi-
ton toward the beholder as does the
real moon in its position toward the
earth. Around the moon and the
earth are the stars. and altogether il
makes very artistic piece of work, as
well as being valuable as a determi-
liant of the position of the moon at all
time.
me building of the clock covered a
period OF some months, and is Ger
taihiy a splendid piece of work of
which any one might well feel proud.
Mr.. smith has already been offered a
goodly sum of money for his treasure,
but has not seen fit to sell.

In response to a request from
Riverside lady. who sent an entomo-
logical specimen to the Journal. Tues
day. the box containing the same was
taken to the department Of agriculture
yesterday, for Identification, and was
found to BE- a cocoon containing the
larva Of the polyphemus moth. The
pOlyphemus is one Of the largest. as
well as one of the handsomest moths
that frequent this section OF the
country. Its wing expansion is from
1--WE to six inches. and it is a yellowish
brown moth. with window-like spot
In each wing. II has gray band on
the costal margin of the fore wings,
and near the outer margin OF both
pairs. dusky margin edged with pink.
The fore wings crossed by
broken dusky or reddish line near the
base. edged with white or pink. The
transparent spot on each wing is di-
vided by the discal vein. and encircled
by yellow and black rings. On the
hind wings and the black surrounding
the transparent spot is much widened.

and is sprinkled with blue scales. The
polyphemus is one of the larger of the
sllkworm moths. and is common in
this section. The cocoon is usually
made by winding up leaf. as was the
case in the specimen submitted.

4 comfortable thing about the separate blouse
IS that Il has distinct season and makes
splendid bridge from TO autumn or winter
spring. To be sure, there midsummer
bIouses- of lingerie and flannel shirts 10 suit an
other season, but between the two extremes lies
great variety, and it is wholly proper to wear the
summer blouse in winter and the winter in sum-
mer if conditions make il suitable So many
blouses are demanded in the seasons ward
robe that much originality is necessary in planning
them A blouse is a most. personal thing much
more so than a dress. and this is reason why
ready made blouses should be avoided except as a
pis aller.
Here are two examples Of linen houses which
have ideas that could be used in matertals suit
able for the autumn In the first the white linen
is combined with Irish lace and trimmed with a
lot of tiny linen covered buttons and "hite coie
looms The lace is used for a yoZe which eAiehuS
IN q rounded point low the bust over the
shoulders this is framed in half collar consisting
~ ,oints Of lace set in the linen The linen part
Of the collar is ornamented with sJarllAe o'hd
ments made of loops and buttons, and the tToiit oi
the blouse is also trimmed with these. 1Ee lace
woke is decorated down the middle with two rows
of buttons and loops. The elbow sleeves finish
with q scant rufie OF linen and lace points made
much Ike the collar.
The other blouse is Of strawberry pink linen, and
In this case the yoke which IS again OF Irish l2ce'
is quite broad. and the rounded point in front g
with tiny bands of the colored linen following the
lace pattern and small. linen covered buttons The
sleeves have a euf to match the yoke running
from the wrist TO the elbows, and the upper part
IL ornamented with rows OF tucks.
A surplice blouse has been somewhat worn this
season yet while it provides variety, there are
many people VINO think this style OF trimming is
unsuited 10 the separate waist. II there is any
thing that blouse should not look like. it it the
top Of gown with stray skirt, and Paris
dressmakers almost never make separate waists Of
any description, regarding il as branch Of work
thst should be relinquished to specialists.
Among the models furnished by noted chenise
maker on the Rue de Ia PaiX some in medium
weight flannel or what takes the place of flannel
now-some fancy lainage one in light blue has
an odd arrangement Of the front and dainty trim
ming OF white lawn rufFes The front Of the
blouse is laid in small tucks bit a quarter
of an inch deep. with the exception Of space
in the middle about four inches across. which is
left plain. The left side L out in shallow
teeth point fastened with a pearl button

IS little turnover collar OF the flannel embroidered
in white lying a friIl of white lawn and this
continues in the form OF a tuCked-in cravat which
fills in the space between the two sides above the
button. The turnover collar is cut low but the
