CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to run down.
1t responds to regular attention just
as surely as a human being does and
keeps its course truly when made to
follow its endless routine.
The hands of a clock should always
be turned forward. To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion is
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach of various cog
slips.
Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where it is we'll bal
anced. A deviation of two or three
minutes a day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock, and once it is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for busting or for artistic pur-
poses. This is especially true Of
clocks that have a pedulum.
Even good fellow may reform.

Of the cobalt now known to the scien-
