TWO NOTABLE CLOCKS
THE most trustworthy clock in the

THE most trustworthy clock in the world is
1 said to be that in the basement of the OBJ
servatory at Berlin installed in 1865. This
timekeeper is inclosed in an air tight glass
cylinder, and has frequently run for two or
three months with average daily deviation
of only fifteen one-thousandths of second.
Yet astronomers are not satisfied even with
this remarkable accuracy. and their efforts are
constantly in the direction of more ideal con-
ditions for clock, by keeping it not only in an
air tight case but also in an underground vault.
where neither changes of temperature nor of
barometric pressure can ever affect it.
Another wonderful production in the way
of clock is the radum tmepiece invented by
the Englishman Harrison Martingale. 1t is
claimed that, if not touched, this ingenious
clock could run for thirty thousand years.
On quartz rod in exhausted glass vessel
is supported a tube containing a small guam
tity of radium An electroscope is attached
to the lower end of this tube. 1t consists of
two long strips of silver The natural action
of the radium sends an electric charge into the
strips and causes them to separate until they
touch the sides Of the vessel, where they are
instantly discharged and fall together again.
Every two minutes this operation is repeated
automatically, SO that each beat of this won
derful timekeeper is in reality two minutes long.

THE PROFESSORS WIFE

A hunger that cannot be appeased

His manner becomes severe.

Is far too Serious dear.
He never notices what / wear,
Save to tediously digress
On the history of birds upon my hat
Or silkworms that made my dress.
Once his arm was about my neck
How my heart beat! All, alack!
He only exclaimed. do. do let me look!
Such curious bug on your back!"
The nearest he came to making love
Was once when with smile serene
He studied the beating of my heart
Through a Rontgen ray machine:
But he never guessed the hunger hid
In that palpitating thing.
"You have cardiac symptoms" was all he
said.

Vainly I've often sought to stir
Soft sentiments in his breast;
But the mating of prehistoric birds
He finds of more interest.

A Strong Accusation

WE are the most lawless and the most waste
w full people in the world. On the other
hand, we have many amiable and redeeming
qualities, many handsome attributes and adj
mirable traits. We have the largest balance of
trade in the world, and more Salome dancers
are running six Devil companies in one city at
the same time; more than all Austria, Hun
gary, and Bulgaria together possess. We have
the light weight, middle weight, and heavy
weight champions of the world dwelling in our
midst. We use more divorces more wood,
people of the world We spend more ath-
letics and politics per capita than any people in
the world. We have, SO far as native Americans
are concerned, one of the lowest birth rates in
the world. France surpasses u.s. but may
yet equal France. We are going down hill
physically faster than any other country in the
world. Others may now be lower but they
are not going low SO fast We eat faster,
swear harder. drink more, ride more maniac
ally, run faster, dive deeper, come up dirtier,
and are prouder of our dirt than any other
people in the world
Thirty centuries ago Tyre and Sidon might
have disputed some of these claims with
In three thousand years they have taught
nothing. We intend no dlsrespect to Pitts
burgh by the comparison; but the similarity is
natural and striking. More coal orig inates and
passes through Pittsburgh than through four
of the greatest maritime capitals of the world,
London. Liverpool, Hamburg, and New
York. But must time that anthracite coal
supply for fifty years. And all the bituminous
coal of the entire country will be gone by the
end of the next century. Bats fly in the tenn
Piles of Syria. Will the wild dogs one day dwell
where Pittsburgh stands to-day!
Such things have happened. This is Amer
ica not the land of milk and honey, but of
water and velvet; but things may happen here.

WIT AT THE FRIARS

THE FRIARS. an organization of theatrical
press agents, recently dined a manager
more conspicuous for his shrewdness than for
his culture. When the menu had been properly
discussed, the guest of honor amazed his hosts
by making speech notable not only for its
grace and wit. but for some show of erudition.
He sat down at last amid loud applause,
when Augustus Thomas, at the same time
joining in the handclapping shouted: Author.

Decline of Game and Fish
WE had game birds in America once. We

though we are not now. A nation of sports
men is nation of soldiers; but we are not that,
to-day. You pay three dollars and fifty
cents for illegal prairie chicken. Once it
went legally begging at ten cents. No one ever
planted game. We only reaped it; sold it.;
wasted it. In some future shall shoot

Lake Superior it not for the continuous
planting done by the ad jacent States. That
was twenty-five years ago. To-day the fish

sequence on its own part, attempts to harvest
many fields that utterly are exhausted.

mission declares that the nets at the mouths
of the rivers let up SO few salmon that they
can get scarcely eggs enough to run their
hatcheries. Once l saw fifty thousand salmon
thrown overheard at an Alaska cannery. There

who is now recognized as one of the
strongest pillars of Phoebe to whom the
district owes much 1t is understood
that it took considerable effort and
hard cash TO pull down this group,
which is one of the best known IN the
district.
Years ago when the Bristol smclter
