After Long and Careful Consider
ation-Good Man for Place.

Since the death of the late John Nc

speculation as towho his successor should
be. 1t was the desire of many, not only

that the vacancy should be filled by the
appointment Of a citizen of Lancaster. and
there are many reasons why one member
of the board of trustees should live
here. Much pressure was also brought
in favor of appointing as Mr.. McArthur's
successor a man living in the same sec

Does Not Vary More Than Fifteen One
thousandths of Second.
A clock has recently been installed
in the observatory of the Case School
of Applied Science at Cleveland, o.
which is so nearly perfect that it has
attracted the attention of the Smith
sonian institution at Washington, says
the New York Times. Tests have proved
that the mechanism is so accurate that
the clock will not vary more than fif-
teen one-thousandths of a second from
the exact time in twenty-four hours
This is considered to be nearly as
steady and reliable as the sun itself.
The clock will measure the minutesE
fraction of a second. It's only rival i'm
accuracy is said to be a similar time
piece in Berlin. Tor protection it Is
surrounded BY a glass jar in which is
a partial vacuum. The winding is done
by electricity, and the instrument is
used almost exclusively in astrOnOm~

much of the land which he. inspected
is worthless, few acres, comprising
what are known as the HuddlestOn and
Money places, are rich producers OF
genuine diamonds
He reports that the surface indica~
tons are that mis- territory will equal
the famous Kimberley diamond fields.
