There is good reason to believe
that there have been vast and terrible
catastrophes in which wide areas of
solid land have been overwhelmed
up by the sea, while continents and
islands which have been during the
historic period dry land and the
abode of man, we're before that time
deep under the waters of the ocean
and were brought up to sunlight by
titanic changes of level between sea
and land. Reasoning from the fact
that similar changes are going on
now, proceeds the New Orleans
Picayune, but with extreme slowness,
and that there are still tremendous
forces at work under land and sea,
it is possible that there may again
be such outbursts and commissions
as will cause a repetition OF the ire
mendous and terrible tragedies and
planetary wrecks that occurred in
prehistoric times.

Daily Life in America.

At a. recent dinner in London the
conversation turned to the subject of
lynching inthe United States. 1t was
the general opinion that large per-
centage of Americans met death at
the end of rope. Finally the hos
tess turned to an American who had
taken no part in the conversation,
and said:
You, sir, must have ofteA seen
these affairs?''
YES" he replied, I'VE take kind
of municipal pride in seeing which
city can show the greatest number of
lynchings yearly"
ooh, do tell us about lynching
you have seen yourself" broke in
half dozen voices at once

er spilled plate of soup over the
gown of lady at an adjoining table.
The gown was utterly ruined, and the
gentlemen OF her party at once seized
the waiter, tied a rope around his
neck, and at signal from the injured
lady swung him into the air. /"
.'Horrible!" said the hostess with
shudder "And did you actually
see this yourself?"
Well, no." admitted the American
apologetically. Just at that moment

CLOCK MADE OF BREAD.

Poor italian.

Poor italian.
A clock made entirely of bread has
been exhibited at Milan The works
are comparatively large, and for sew
oral years kept good time The maker
was native of Milan, who devoted
three years of his time to the task.
He was very poor. and, being without
means to purchase the necessary
metal for making clock, he set apart
regularly each day a part of his
Dread, eating the crusts and saving
the soft part. To solidify this he made
use of a certain kind of salt, and
when the various pieces became dry
they were perfectly hard and insolu-
ole in water.
Another strange clock exhibited
some years ago in London was con-
structed of pins, buttons and all sorts
of odds and ends by pauper named
Mercer. The back and front of the
clock were made of iron bed laths,
while the barrel was part of a large
brass ferule, the ends being brass
buttons hammered out. The barrel
Rrbor had been originally the blade
Of a shoemaker's anvil; the main and
several other wheels were nothing
more or less than suspender buttons
from his own trousers, while the cog
teeth were portions of bygone knit
ting needles. The teeth of the center
wheels had once been rivets In the
dial there were 100 separate pieces.

The Kansas City Journal turns
from the spectacle of the frenzied
financier to the fortunate farmer,
saying: The farmers of to-day have
no mortgages to pay off, no notes at
the bank that they are not amply able
to meet, and their farms have been
enlarged to the desired size. This
means that the profits of the year
are not already discounted and spent.
The men who till the soil are, after
all, the only really independent peo-
pie in the land, They plant and cul-
tivate and reap with no one to account
to and only beneficent nature to ask
for favors.

Lamps Too Bright.

A ban has been put on the acety-
lene gas lamps used on automobiles
and on the powerful electric head
lights used on the Hudson River and
Newark trolley cars at Paterson. The
Board of Works has decided that the
use of such lamps in this city will
have to be stopped as there have been
frequent complaints from pedestrians
and drivers that they are blinded
by the strong light. Another conten-
,tion Is that many runaway accidents
have resulted from their use. A COM
mittee will confer with the trolley
company on the matter and the city
council have been instructed to draw
up an ordinance prohibiting the use

10 Prevent TeIescoping.

General Manager Frank Hedley, OF
New York City, has invented simple
device for preventing telescroping of
cars in wrecks. Generally cars are
telescoped by the end of one car ris~
ing above the platform of the next
car, in which position the raised car
can go easily through the woodwork
lbove the platform. Mr.. HedIey's de-
vice is an attachment adapted to be
secured to the end of the car plat
form which has three prongs on it's
outer surface. When two cSrs come
together these prongs interlock ana
prevent either car from rising.
