Many inhabitants of the island do

tunnels, but comparatively few per-

The particular delight of the camera

Our Merchant Marine,

The total merchant tonnage
launched in the United States in the
calendar year 1907, 5O2, 2,50S gross tons,
has been exceeded in a twelvemonth
but twice in our maritime history, de-
clares the Boston Transcript. In the
fiscal years 1854 and 1855 the aggre-
gates were respectively 536,O46 and
583,450, the latter figures remaining
still the record. The difference be-
tween now and then is that very little
of our new tonnage is for foreign
trade, whereas so years ago American
ships were found on every sea, and
the Stars and Stripes was familiar in
old world ports where it is now a
stranger. Last year but two steamers
of any considerable dimensions were
launched from American yards for for
eign trade, and these were for a Cuban
service which has the benefits of the
postal subsidy. Without some such
measure of federal assistance there is
no inducement for Americans to build
steamers to ''go foreign"

WAYS OF TELLING TIME.
Some of the Curious Contrivances
Used for That Purpose.

From our Philippine possessions has
come an account of primitive de-
vice for recording time which de-
serves a place among the long list Of
contrivances for that purpose. 1t is
used by the natives during certain
sports. They bore a hole in the bot
tom of a cocoanut shell and let it fill
with water At certain point it sud
denly drops to the bottom of the
basin. This calls time"
Many were the devices for recording
the flight of the hours before the COM
ing of the clock. The most famous,
of course, was the hour-glass, which
was made of various sizes and capable
of recording with tolerable accuracy
almost any given interval of time. al.
though seldom one greater than an
hour.
The burning of candles was another
favorite device. Lines were drawn at
different elevations for the fractional
divisions Of the period which the can
die recorded. There was also an In
genious water-clock, which is even
now occasionally seen in museums
The sun dial, for marking true astro-
nomical time, was much in use in early
days. In our latitude it would not be
strictly accurate, except on a few days
in the year, and its accuracy at other
times would be of varying quantity.
