that point, which was at noon. with the
sun shining on the thermometer. The

Travelling Without Tips.

Herr Grauer. a wealthy German hotel
proprietor, has carried out an expert
mert with amusing results on the tip
ping system. He had theory that all
hotel employees should be paid living
wage and that tipping should be abol-
ished in hotels.
SO he started. accompanied by his
wife and daughter (the Lausanne cor
respondent writes). on three weeks
tour of the chief German and Swiss
hotels. determined not to spend sou
on tips, in order to test his opinions.
One weeks experience Of the conse-
qucnces was enough for his wife and
daughter. who returned home disap-
pointed and indignant with Herr
Grarer for the discomfort and insults
to which he had led them.

Walter 3. Stebbins. who is posses
sed OF mechanical ability to mark2 i
degree and is always working
out some contrivance far removed
from the ordinary. has just completed
a clock that will run for three years
without winding. Mr.. Stebbins has
until recently been engaged in the con-
struction of n motor ice boat, an idea
which he and ]. Z. Packard worked
out together, and which was success
although there is chance for future
Improvement of the device. and after
that was finished he turned his atten-
ton to the clock, which he completed
last week The result was obtained
by combining the works of an eight
day clock and a watch, the former
being geared down so that according
to calculations they should keep the
works of the watch moving for about
three years before it shold Decon,
necessary to wind the clock. TIE
watch is of good make and a Il jewel
ed movement, and there appears to be
no reason why it should not fulfill the
ex1ectations of the inventor. Another
feature of the clock is the case in
which it is enclosed and which is made
of 16 kinds of wood, the front contain

announced the arrival of the Grauers-
1.-The non-tippers''-at the various re-
SORTS they visited. The result was al
ways the same-nobody seemed to
want them.
At the stations they were told that
tho particular hotel they wished to stay
at was full: the hotel omnibus was
wercIy waiting for 4 few old clients to
depart" When they insisted on en-
tcring the omnibus there was nobody to
carry their luggage and railway por-
tiers had TO be employed and paid. Ar
irving at the hotel their heavy luggage
was unceremoniously thrown on the
ground and the boxes were damaged.
The maid took half an hour to an
swer the bell, and the ''hot water"
when it did arrive, was cold. At table
d'hote the Grauers were always served
with the last portion. The concierge
did not know" of any interesting trips
iE the neighborhood, and was generally
''busy" when they descended to the
hall. Complaints to the manager were
futile.
Herr Grauer. who persevered with
his three weeks tour to the end. sums
up his experience as including the fol-
lowing:
Lost three trains; luggage unable to
be found.
Had four pairs Of boots, two being
new, ruined; "cause unknown"
Two suits Of clothes, one dress. three
blouses mysteriously contracted ink
stains.

ping is necessary evil, with still a
