Grafton. In the manufacture Of stoves
and ranges particularly Is there great
opportunity for fraud. In different
cities OF the middle west are large
concerns that make q speciality OF
manufacturing stoves to supply deal
ers who depend on cheapness to SO
cure sales. These manufacturers buy
from junk dealers ali classes OF old
iron, and this remelted and worked
over enters largely into their manu-
featured articles. The result IN that

and the expansion caused by the heat

Throughout the south and In many Of
the large northern cities the manu-
facture OF artificial Ice is extensively
carried on. Galvanized iron cans OF
the capacity OF a 3OO-pound ice-cakS
are used. and in every large plant
thousands Of cans are In use. The
ammonia that is used In the process
of freezing soon causes the cans to
corrode. and then they are rendered
useless for the purpose required. The
stove manufacturing concerns buy up
these discarded cans. and use them
for lining stoves. II can be judged
that the life Of the stove in this way
is shortened, but as the stoves are
never intended to last long, the lining
is as good as the other material
which enters into their composition.
In appearance these stoves are ali

OF a dozen sales. and no reputable
stove dealer or hardware merchant

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Almost Perfect 1fmepiece That 4
Installed i'm Cleveland School.

Cleveland, Nov. 24.-A clock ba.
just been installed in the Case School
OF Applied Science in this city which
Is so nearly perfect that it has at
tracted the attention Of the Smith.
sonian institute at Washington. Al
another mark Of distinction tests have
proved that the mechanism is so ac-
curate that the clock will not vary
more than Is one-thousandths OF q
second from the exact time in "a
hours.
The clock will measure the min
utest fraction Of a second. Its only
rival In accuracy is said to be similar

The construction Of the Case school
clock Is so delicate that for protection
1t is surrounded by a glass Jar, which
is partly a vacuum. To protect the
clock from disturbance the windfns
is accomplished by electricity.

Found Nail in His Skull

A remarkable discovery was made by the surgeons of Williamsburg hospital while they were operating on the skull of William V. Albright, who fell from the elevated structure being erected across the Brooklyn plaza of the Will liamsburg bridge. The surgeon came across hard substance imbedded in the skull and closer examination disclosed it to be the head oj' nail. It proved to be a nail fully three inches long, which had penetrated the brain.
 The associates of Albright say he has had a remarkable career since he became an ironwoIker. He has had several thirty and forty-foot falls, and one eighty-seven foot fall from a New Liverpool bridge. One time he fell 100 feet from bridge in Pennsylvania into the water and was nearly drowned be. fore hauled ashore.--Brooklyn Eagle
