Watch Speaks Time.

A Swiss matchmaker has invented q
watch which speaks the time from a
tiny phonograph. A very small ard
rubber plate has the vibrations of the
human voice imprinted on it, and is
actuated by clockwork, so that at q
given time the articulation is made
indicating the hour. The utterance
IS sufhclently strong to be heard 20
feet away. 1t is possible by means of
a device of this kind to combine senti-
ment with utility, as the vibrations
can be made by any clear voice. and
a mans watch may tell him the time
the tones of wife or children.

WILL Project THE PROPERTY

The Georgia solons are going to
throw every safeguard and pro-
lection around that magnificent
property of the State-the Western
& Atlantic Railway, as well they
should, as for the next sixty years
it brings the State of Georgia an
annual rental of $4,000. a bill
to protect the property and the
interests of the Western & Attain
tic by making it a misdemeanor
for any railroad to build parallel
to the state road within distance
of so miles, has been introduced
in the senate by Senator Millner.
The purpose of the measure is to
prevent the State road from being
bottled up by any other CORPORA
ton. According to the bill, the
governor shall have authority to
enjoin the building of any parallel
road, and it is provided that the
charter of any such corporation
shall be forfeited and the officials
punished as prescribed by the mis-
demeanor statutes.

The Fields of Peace.

1t was the belief of the ancient
Egyptians, according to a recent writ
er, that everything, material and i'm
material, had its immortal double. Out
of this grew the idea of q life in the
future state of perfect happiness in
the fields of peace" For a long time
the common people regarded these
fields of peace" not as celestial
place, but as situated in the fertile
and we'll watered regions of the Nile
delta in the northwest of Egypt, where
the blessed ever breathed the cool
north wind Here they lived an ideal
form of their life upon earth. They
plowed their fields and grew the grain
which supplied them with the dread
which grew not stale and beer that
never became sour" Here was stu
ated the duplicate of their earthly
towns or villages.

eoooLE FUND GROWS SLOWLY

Representative Sherman, chair
man of the Republican cOngression-
al committee has so far acknow-
lodged the receipt of two contribu-
lions of one dollar each to the cam
paign fund. He assured a New
York reporter, however that the
dollar contributions were coming
in as quickly as could be expected,
but was not yet prepared to state
the number received. The contri-
buttons thus far announced are
those of Pres. Roosevelt, who was
the first to respond with his SIDE
lighted" letter, and Governor Hig-
gins, of New York, who says he
fastened to 'EfoIlow the splendid
example," This really splendid
and wholly untainted munifcence
has given Mr.. Sherman great en-
couragement. Ii was at one time
feared that his committee might
face the difficulty already reported
blythe chairman of the correspond
ing committee on the Democratic
side, who was without money to buy
postage stamps and hesitated, as a
reformer, to send out campaign
material under frank. The con-
tributions of the President and
Gov. Higgins will enable Mr.. Sher-
man to send out one hundred more
requests for dollar subscriptions,
and if only reasonable percentage
of the requests bear fruit, the cam
paign can go on.
