CLOCK ALMOST ALL GLASS.
Springs Alone Are Of Other Material
in This Timepiece.

4 somewhat futile feat OF painstak-
ing ingenuity has been accomplished
after six years continuous work in the
construction OF a working clock. every
part OF which, except the springs, Is
made of glass. The constructor is a
Bohemian glass polisher named Joseph
Bayer, who lives in Thereslenthal and
who is now II years old.
The plates and pillars which form
the framework are of glass and are
bolted together with glass screws. The
dial plate, hands, shafts ard cogwheels
are of glass and glass wedges and pins
are used for fastening the various parts
of the running gear together
All these parts are ground to.the av-
erage proportions Of the metal parts
of other clocks Of the same size. The
teeth Of the cogwheels are cut with
minute exactness Only the balance
wheel Is heavier and thicker than II
would he in an ordinary clock, but II
Is fashioned so as to properly control
the movement of the whole machine.
Like the clock Itself, the key with
which 1t Is wound Is Of glass. The com
pletion of the work was a matter OF
infinite pains. Some of the parts had
to be made over and over again as often
as forty times before a clock that would
go and keep time was produced. The
builder sets q price on the finished mod
81 OF 9 200 marks or about Sf21 Tn.
Dor is cheap in Bohemia.

ONLY BRIDGE OF MAHOGANY.

Mexicnns Use a Structure Built of
This Costly Wood.
AS mahogany is among the most cost
ly woods in the world it may well ba
inferred that this tropical material is
not extensively employed in the con-
struction of buildings, etc. A bridge
constructed of solid mahogany is GER
tainly a rarity, a curiosity. There is
one, claimed to be the only one in the
world, built Of that material. This
structure is located In the department
Of Palenque, State of Chiapas, Repub-
lie of Mexico. This district lies in the
extreme southwestern part Of Mexico,
near the boundary of Guatemala.
This mahogany bridge is construct
ed entirely of that valuable wood ex-
cept some iron supports, braces and
nails that are necessary. The bridge
spans the Rio Michol and it's total
length, including approaches, exceeds
80 feet, while the width is fifteen feet.
1t is used by both teams and pedestri-
ans and though somewhat rude and
primitive in construction. it is substan-
tial.
None OF the tlmbers OF the flooring
was sawed, for in that region there
are no sawmills, but were hewn and
split.
In that section Of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber planta-
tiOns and mahogany trees are com
mon. In clearing away the tropical
forests for setting out the young RIB
Der trees the mahogany growths are
also cut down and removed. AS this
wood is abundant, some of it was used
in building the bridge.

That cling about my sable gown.
Ghosts of lost childhoo1's Christmas joys
And youthful hopes-gone long ago.
Ghosts of the loved one, tender, true

Ghosts of that happiest Christmas-tide
When two bent DER stocking small.
These haunt my bitter solitude
o Babe, my heart breaks midst them

This is the night of nights Her cry
Ascends to heaven and meets his ear,
His brilliant star shines forth, it's beams
Search her sad soul, her sight grows
clear
For in the beams of this, His star,
The pale ghosts change to angels fair
And whispers one: For loves dear sake
Go, gifts of love to others bear.
About thy path seek children poor,
Neglected youth, and folk forlorn-
Loves gifts TO these shall bring thee Joy
