With nearly all medicines put up for

MIR. Bryan is having the time of
his life. A dozen years ago this sum

RADIO, making talks about silver at

believe that the whole people of the

to welcome him representa-

letters are being published in the
Sunday pnpers by big syndicate.
His income is probably four'fold
what it WAS twelve years ago, and
best of all, he is now composing n
speech which he expects to ou,do
an. thing in that line that even he
has ever done. 1t is to provide ai

gear, slogan and motor for the
now drifting and much discouraged
democracy.
The expenses OF the gathering 90

provided, at Mr.. Brysn's order, by

money, nothing over $50 to be re-
ceivable, and 81 preferred. Will

HIGH RENT FOR GOOD LIGHT
Diamond Dealer. Spare No Expense

Diamond Dealers Spare No Expense
to Show Their Gems.
Diamond cutting is probably the only
manufacturing industry in New York
that can afford a location in the heart
Of the financial district.
The workshop here is said to be su-
perior to that Of the Amsterdam and
Antwerp factories in the mathematical
accuracy With which the facets of large
stones are cut. New York, consequent
ly, sends cut stones to Europe, besides
supplying the United States.
The bulk of the New York diamond
trade, including a considerable amount
Of the cutting, is done in Maiden lane.
between Broadway and Nassau street,
a single block. Most of the dealers oc-
cupy offices in modern sE.yscrapers.
To show their gems they iee,. Il clear
steady light. which III the case CT natu.
raj light is afforded only by a norl4e.N
exposure; hence, o.iices ON the lower
side of Maiden lane cost 30 To % pen.
cent more han Offices on the upper
side.
The difference in rent vsould be still!
greater but for the fact that courts ad.
hitting northern light are provided IN
the buildings that face the south.
Artificial light may also be used.
One house shows gems in a room
draped with black velvet and lighted
by electricity. Its natural light was
ruined by the erection of a yellow brick
building on the opposite side of the
street, the reflection from which gives
an inferior color to the purest stones.
Maiden lane rents are higher even
than Broadway rents, reaching $4.75

A PLANET OF GREAT PEAKS.
Popularity of the Ring Mountains
of the Moon.

Popularity of the Ring Mountains
of the Moon.
The moon is really and truly a great
planet of mountains, its whole visible
surface being dotted with elevations
Of curious shapes and of extraordinary
height. We say Its whole visible sur
face" n hasten to explain that we
make this statement simply because
the eye OF man has never seen but one
Side of the surface of the moon. What
we see convinceS us that the little
planet is extremely mountainous, for
oil the end exposed to our view
there are no less than 10000 peaks,
varying in height from 1000 feet to
four miles. When we consider the fact
that this lunarian world is only one
thirty-second part as large as the
earth we can easily see why it de-
serves the title of the planet of great
mountains" There is q peculiar thing
about these 10000 moon peaks. Each
and every one of them has Il ringlike
form. the open end of the conical point
being of greater or lesser diameter, &c
cording to the height of the mountain.
In a low grade telescope these peaks
resemble true volcanoes, but when
viewed through a high grade glass it is
seen that the depression in the center
Of the queer ring mountain is often
so great as to be below the general
level of the surrounding country. The
depth of these depressions is calcu-
lated in a curious manner, by figuring
on the relative shadows they cast
when the sun is shining full. upon
them. The diameter of these ring
mountains" varies greatly, some of the
larger ones being so. 100 or even $50
miles, while the smaller look like post
holes when viewed through a good tel
ascope.

II ELDER TREE.
Once Held In High Esteem as n Cure
For Epilepsy.

Although tradition tells us that it
was on an elder tree that Judas hang
ed himself, great virtue has long been
attributed to it as Il cure for epilepsy.
The origin of this belief may be found
In the following quotation from an old
book of charms:
'In the month Of October, a little
before full moon, pluck a twig of elder
and cut the cane that is between two
of its knees, or knots, in nine pieces.
Bind these pieces in a piece Of linen,
hang this by a thread about the neck
SO that they touch the spoon Of the
heart, or the sword formed cartilage,
and that they nay more firmly stay in
their place bind them thereon with q
linen or silken roller wrapped around
the body till the thread break Of itself.
The thread being broken and the roller
removed the charm Is not to be touch
ed at all with the bare hands, but
should be taken hold of by some in.
strument and buried IN a place that
nobody may touch It."
OF course unless the instructions
were followed strictly q complete cure
could not be assured. There is another
superstition about the elder which
doubtless has saved many a boy a
stout caning-namely, that it binders a
child's growth If used as an instru-
ment of punishment-Sunday Maya

A CURIOUS CLOCK.
Novel TimepA.ce Made by a German
Horoloxist.

Novel Timeph.ce Made by q German
aoroloKist.
A globe clock, described in a recent
number Of a German paper, is very in
teresting from the point Of view OF its
mechanism. The clock complete on it's
base measures 1S I'm. about Z inches)
In height, and its sphere has a diameter
Of about u en-. az inches). This
sphere is made Of copper, and the
oceans and continents are laid on the
surface Of that metal in enamel. The
globe is made in two parts, the north
ern hemisphere and the southern hemi-
sphere. united by a large circular hand,
representing the equator. and Is diyid-
ed to mark the twenty-four hours. 1t
Is in equilibrium in q Cardanic suspen
sion.
The movement of the clock has a
cylinder escapement and runs eight
days. The winding is done at the low
er part-that is, at the south pole. In
two holes made in that part the two
tines Of a special key are inserted and
the globe is then turned, like the knob
Of a stem winder. The barrel is in the
center of the globe and turns once ev-
cry t%wenty-four hours. 1t drives Il pipe
whose extremity projects through the
north pole of the sphere and carries a
hand ornamented with a sun. At the
lower end of this tube the weight is
attached, which gives the desired In
cllnation to the globe.
This weight is designed to keep the
hand constantly in the same place and
to compel the sphere, which is free, to
turn in it's stead in the opposite di"ec-
ton. The tube to which hand and the
weight are fastened is provided with
an oiled bearing. so that the clock
easily gives the correct time. The cir
Gle marked with the hours is turned in
such q way that the figure -2-that is.
noon-is always ON the meridian of the
place where the clock is. In this way,
he hand remaining fixed, the time is
Indicated by the figures which slowly
revolve one after the other. Besides
this, the rotation of the sphere brings
thed different meridians successfully I'M
der the hand-that is, under the sun.
The clock therefore not only gives the
time of day where it actually is. but
also shows whereabout on the globe
1t is noon at the same moment.
