ANCIENT CLOCKS.
Curiosities in the Museum Of the Town
Of Schramberq.


In the town Of Schramberg, in the
Black Forest district of Wurttemberg,
Germany, where one Of the chief in
dustries Is clock making, there is an
interesting museum Of timepieces. The
collection displays the gradual devel-
opment in the making of clocks for
many centuries.
Among the curlosities are many of
great historical value. There is an
alarm clock constructed in the year
1880, for the. use Of travellers. In form
1t resembles lantern, and the interior
Is designed to hold q lighted camille
The candle Is slowly pushed forward
by a spring, which also controls the
mechanism of the clock. A little pair
Of shears clip the wick Of the candle
automatically every minute to regulate
its light. The lantern is Enclosed with
movable slides, so that the sleeper is
not at first disturbed by the presence
OF light.
The alarm is set by inserting peg
in the second dial plate When the re-
quired hour arrives the alarm is
sounded, and at the same time the
movable slides fall, flooding the room
with light.
Among the curiosities is a Japanese
saw clock. The clock itself produces
the motive power by descending a
saw formed strip of metal, the teeth Of
which operate the wheel Of the clock
work. In another Japanese clock the
hand Is attached to q weight, which
sinks once in twenty -four hours. The
time is indicated by q hand on the
perpendicular scale.

Fastent Things in the World.

The world is in a hurry. Wherever
we go we see trains whirling by. au-
tos speeding in clouds OF dust men
striving on foot, on wheel, on horse
or in water, to make speed records.
So writes Thomas D., Richter In the
Technical World Magazine for July.
But do we realize what may be done
while the minute hand OF the clock
revolves OF in an hour OF the twen-
tieth century haste?.
Standing at the cross-road we see
a mere black speck in the distance
growing with seeming sloth. We hear
a pwrring sound, increasing, develop
ing then leaping into a roar like
thunder. Volumes of dust rise like
smoke from the mouth of a fire.
breathing monster and the twentieth
century dinosaur flies, screams past
merely an automobile racing at rate
OF from eighty to 120 miles in an
hour.
we stand at the railway crossing.
IN the distance an indistinct object
wirlks into view. far beyond where the
two lines of shining rails meet to-
gether upon the track bed. On It
comes with a swift spreading circum-
ference; on it whizzes by in a breath
taking rush and is gone almost before
we realize that 1t is a modern electric
train. 9unh q II -6esnAAE b.

heard that they are somewhat lower
In the social scale than the aborigines

"Are they?" said Courtenay. He
looked Christobal straight in the eyes,
and the doctor returned his gaze as
steadily.
.That Is their repute. They live
mostly on shellfsh. They do not con-
gregate in communities. A few fami-

Now, the story of the Emu Is one of
those fierce tragedies which the sea

skill and then proceeds to destroy the

ence. But such things leave abiding
memories in mems souls, and Courte-
nay had heard how twenty-seven sur
vivors out of muster roll Of thirty
who escaped from the wreck had been
shot down by Indians ambushed IN the
forest. Elsie was listening to the con-
versation, SO the captain did not carry
It further, contenting himself with the
remark:

PEELED to go ashore. You viii have

by May Of 1909.
New York, June 20.-Roswell P. Mil
Ter, chairman Of the Milwaukee road,
who has just returned from a trip Of
inspection over the extension to the
Pacific coast. says that the work is pro-
crossing so favorably that tracks will
probably be laid on the entire line by
the end Of this year. and that trains
will run to the Pacific by May, 1909.
Already the road is In operation as far
as Lombard, Mont.
He expected the extension to be self
supporting from the beginning. In this
connection he pointed out that the road
on the completion Of its outlet to the
Pacific coast will be in position to
get from eastern lines a good deal OF
traffic which 1t has not been able to
command in the past.
Crops over our territory are look
ing exceptionally well. There has been
somewhat too much rain and cold
weather for corn, but this will not
damage It II warm weather comes la
ter. All small grains are in fine con-
dition, and there will be heavy crop
