AN ACCURATE CLOCK.

The Timepieee In the Observatory Of
Columbia University.
In the observatory Of Columbia uni
versity is one Of the most accurate
clocks in the world. 1t has run for
several months with q mean error Of
only ffteen-thousandths Of a second
and maximum error Of thirty-thou-
yandths of a second per day. That
means that it does not vary more than
half a second a month, or six seconds
a year.
Compare this with the first pocket
Hmepiece, the animated egg Of NJ
remberg," which required winding
twice a day and varied an hour and a
half in the same time! Compare 1t
with some Of the highest priced
watches manufactured today, :whics
often vary more than ten seconds
week, and you will have some idea Of
the refnements in the science Of meas
ucing time. Yet even this accuracy is
surpassed by some famous timepieces,
if the trade magazines are to be be-
lieyed. There have been accounts in
them Of clocks or watches that have
varied less than second in periods as
long as ten years.
The clock at the University Of Co
lumbia is an astronomical clock. 1t IS
surrounded by glass case in which
partial vacuum is maintained, and In
order that the case may not be opened
or disturbed the winding is done auto
matically by electricity. The clock is
set up in a room especially constructed
to keep it free from jar or vibration.
The temperature and barometric con-
ditions are maintained practically con-
slant, and every possible precautlon IS
taken to minimize the errors Of the
running mate.-New York World.

John 0pie's First Portrait and What It Cost
Him.

JOHN Opie. the English paint
er. is described in ''Joke OF
Norfolk and His Friends" by
Mrs. \. N. W. Stirling, as a
man Of humble origin who
achieved success wholly by his
own genius and perseverance,
Tht. story Of his first effort in
that line OF art which afterward
brought him fame he related
to Coke, first Earl of Leicester
of Holkham, as follows:
When a small boy Of ten or
twelve he was left at home one
Sunday afternoon with hisfath-
er, while his mother went to
church. The father establish
ed himself in the parlor with
his Bible ana told the BOY 20
be quiet and anluse himself.
Young Opie. who had pro-
cured some paints, took up his
position unobserved i'll the
kitchen directly opposite the
parlor door. Very quietly he
drew a portrait Of the old man
bending over his Bible until he
had finished everything except
the head, when he began run
ming backward and forward to
study his fathers face
The old gentleman grew very
angry at these apparently SEN
seless interruptions and threat
ened to punish his son if they
continued.
This was exactly what the
boy wanted. as he wished to
paint his fathers eyes lit ur
and sparkling with anger. Sc
he continued his irritating be-
havior until he met with the
desired result, and his father
justly wrathful, administered
a sound thrashing.
This achieved, the boy re-
sumed his task eagerly and
transferred to his picture the
expression which he had just
seen upon the face of his IN
dignant parent.
When his mother returned
from church he placed the pic
ture triumphantlv before her:
but, although astonished and
delighted with it, she thought
it her duty to scold her Son
seventy for painting on a Sun
day.
Young Opie, however, cared
no more for the scolding than
for the beating he had recelv-
ed in accomplishing his work
and only hugged his mother
delightedly in his excitement
at its success.
his father. coming into the
room at that juncture and spy
ing the portrait Of himself was
so surprised and pleased at 1t
that he told the mother not to
scold the boy any more.
Subsequently, whenever the
picture was shown, he used to
tell with great relish the story
Of young Opie's pluckv accep-
tance of a beating in order to
insure its success.

The Worlds Coal.
The question of the eNhaus-
ton Of the coal supply Of the
United States is not one which
can affect the present genera
alton or the next, says Har-
per's Weekly. Yet the Amer
ican supply is likely to be eX-
hausted before that of Europe,
and particularly before Great
Britain. Looking at the mat
ter from the point Of view of
national providence or provis-
ion, covering generations and
generations, America should
beyond doubt be a little saving
of it's coal.
It has been estimated thai
Pennsylvania has aboutenough
anthracite coal to last at the
rate of production that prevail
ed last year a little less than
200 years. Probably the sup
ply will be exhausted much
sooner than that, unless some
profitable substitute is found
for anthracite. AS to bitumi-
nous coal in the United States.
the supply is very great and
widespsead. It is estimated
that it will last, at the rate of
consumption which prevailed
during the last decade some
thing less than 40 years.
If the coal supply Of the
world at large were likely to
be exhausted IN any such way
as to makea considerable drain
on American Goals for foreign
consumption, the situation
might be regarded as alarming
as alarming if we could put
ourselves in the place Of our
great-grondchildren But there
is not likely to arrive a time
when we shall have to feed
the world" with coal.
In 1880 Great Britain had
in sight so to speak-al-
though it was all below the
ground-an available coal de-
post estimated at nearly $780,
600, 900, 900 tons. At the rate
of production and consumption
then prevailing, the supply
would last about 900 years.
The coal measures of Lancash-
ire are 5000 feet in thickness.
Moorever, there are many
countries which possess coal
deposits that have never been
touched. Besides the great
coal fields Of Europe and Amer
lea, as now worked, there are
undoubtedly deposits in China.
in the Philip ines, in Australia
IN South America. in British
North America, in Alaska, in
the Indian archipelago and
elsewhere
With one circumstance the
American people, looking at
the matter from the consum-
er's standpoint, may we'll be
pleased. Europe does not want
our anthracite coal, the best
fuel. on the whole, that the
earth that ever produced. Eu-
rome does not understand the
use Of anthracite, and it is ap-
parently not willing to learn it
1t calls on us for bitumlnous
coal. which we can spare more
rapidly.
Theassumption that the coal
fields OF Great Britain and
America will be exhausted,
even at the end of several CEN
turieS. is founded on the furth-
er assumption that heat will
continue to be made and DOW
er generated in the future
much as they are now. But
our inventors and chemists hold
out the assurance that great
changes may be looked for iii
the methods Of producing heat
and mechanical energy.
