AUTOMATIC THAT SHOWS GENIUS OF INVENTORS

In the eighteenth century Swiss
matchmaker named Pierre Jacquet
Droz brought to the Spanish court a
beautiful and lingeniously constructed
clock which so pleased the King, Ferdi-
nand VI, that he not only purchased
the timepiece, but reimbursed Droz for
the expense of his long journey. The
enterprise, says the New York Times,
came near having a very different end
ing, however. The clock was adorned
with the figure of shepherd, who,
when thes hour struck, raised his pipe
to his lips and played tune, Of which
he had six in his repertoire. At the
same time the shepherds dog rubbed
his pelt affectionately against his mas
a basket Of apples. Every time an
dog barked so naturally that on one
occasion real dog which happened to
be present barked in reply.
These magical performances made
everybody but the King flee in. terror.
The inventor, in fear OF the holy in
QUESTION, begged permission to-. exhibit
and explain his masterpiece to the
grand inquisitor, who, though the ex-
PLANTATION. was probably lost on Shim,
deigned to issue a public announces
ment in the name Of the church to
quell the growing belief that the clock
was a work of the devil. And SO Droz
was allowed to return in peace to his
native mountains, while his clock res
mains to this day in the Museo Ar
queologico Of Madrid. : Thereafter
Droz,; who was being educated for the
church, abandoned his theological stud

head OF Louis XIV, done in bold char
acteristic strikes, and childishly
naive drawing of Mon Toutou''-'My
Bow-wow." Once this childlike figure
drew this portrait, ostensibly from life,
in the presence of Louis XIV and his
gay court Now all are gone save the
ever young artist, whose hand, un-
changeable as that of fate, still traces
the features of the dead King as it
drew them more than 100 years ago.
The younger Droz. encouraged by his
fathers success at the Spanish court,
sailed with the three automata for
Madrid, but was shipwrecked on the
French coast. The figures were badly
injured, but Droz succeeded. after
much labor, in repairing them, and re-
sumedl his journey. In Madrid the
English manager who had suggested
the enterprise advertised the automata
as veritable marvels. Perhaps he over
did the matter. At all events the
holy sinquisition confiscated the figures
and clapped Droz into prison. After
enduring great suffering he was set
at liberty, but the automata were not
restored to him, and he returned in
poverty to his home at La Chaux de
Fonds in Switzerland, where. in 1888,
one year after the death of mis- father,
he died at the age of 81 After pass
ing through many hands the three
automata were eventually presented by
number Of art lovers to the Museum
of La Chaux de Fonds, the home of
their inventor, where, after more than
a century of wandering and vicissi-
tudes, they seem destined to rest in
peace to deligh. and amaze future gen.
erations.

mechanics, which had. hitherto been
merely a diversion Among other
things he constructed writing au-
tomaton, representing aschild,, which
writes words and sentences, dips the
pen in the ink and carries it from
the. end of line to the beginning OF
the next line in very realistic manner
The complicated mechanicism by which
these motions are effected Isl entirely
concealed IN the wooden body of the
hgure. The alphabet of the automaton,
being. French, contains neither w nor
W. and nearly half the capital letters
are also omitted for the sake Of SIM
piieity. Hence circumlocutions are oc-
casionaily necessary. ~

At the after end of a long passage run
ming the full length Of the dock is the
cabin, at the other end the 70 castle. Be-
tween the two and opening on this alley
way are the staterooms, mess and bath.
The dock carries a company of thirty
two. divided into the captains and the
fo'castle mess. each with its own cook
and attendants.
Captain J.. d. Wood, sailing master,
has chief and second mate. Mr.. Phillip
Mullen, chief boatswain, U. S. N, is in
charge of the towing gear Mr. Hans
Hansen, designer of the dock, is
advisory dock expert, and Mr.. ]. H. Det-
wiler, who will remain with the dock in
Manila as permanent dock master, is also
making the trip in her.
Besides engineers, fremen and fourteen
seamen. the Dewey also carries a rigger,
carpenter and wireless operator
Our first night out came on black and
threatening, and later developed into a
succession of mild squallsro Of wind, rain
and an enveloping fog. through all of
which the long. awkward tow carefully
groped it's way.
How it ever did 1t was a wonder to, all
concerned, as in a channel that allowed
no great deviation from a given course.
we were surrounded at times by a dozen
ships under way; and the fact that the
morning broke clear and fresh upon the
intact tow speaks well for the skill of
Captain Hutchinson. who led in the
Caesar. and Mr.. Thompson, who piloted
the Glacier. 80
Down the Chesapeake we had general
cleaning or field day." when hose, broom
and swab reigned supreme clearing away
the debris left by hundreds OF workmen
after months of labor, to say nothing of
the mass of blue mud brought up by an
chors and cable
Out of all this the Dewey emerged more
shipshape, and, reaching the Virginia
Capes toward midnight, passed out to
sea.
The bad weather OF the night before
made 1t plain that some sort of shelter
was necessary on the top side, where
slanoing watch under such conditions
was a positive hardship. as the wind
meeting the resistance of the great side
walls, swept over the edge with a Jury
that beat rain and spoondrI.. into ones
face with a sting like bird shot, while
the wet. slippery iron deck gave rather
a precarious footing for such a l.eigbt.

quarterback was adorned with a lart-

the horizon showed that the flagship was
looking for u.s. and an answering beam
from our own light brought her up with
the tug in two hours.
Afterward, for coal economy the Poto-
tnac- was towed behind the dock. except
and the Glacier took her place at the
aead of the fleet
Then followed our golden days. when
in, spite of a heavy ro, from northward
for nearly two weeks we made average
daily runs of over 100 miles. and in the
warm. sunny weather life on the Dewey
went merrily on
With an immense amount of towing
gear to look after dynamos, condensers
and evaporators to be kept running all
hands were busy during the day, but the
long evenings off watch were whiled
away by interminable games of solitaire,
a stiff game of poker or maybe long
yarn of the Indian Ocean or frozen Arctic
by men who had sailed them all their
lives.
Of course among so many men there
must be pets, and two kittens were en-
rolled as privileged members of the
dock s crew at Solomons. One became
great favorite and pampered~ pet but the
other liked not the society of man. and
lived among the keel Hooks on the lower
deek,s refusing proffered food. and-so

A second attempt later in the day
proved how untitled for the work the
Glacier was, for no sooner was she fast
than some flinasy gear on her taffrail
went overheard. and the heavy line
slipping over the side made it impos-
