DEAN sWIFT's CHANCE.
His Marriage of a Country Couple
Caught In a Storm.

His Marriage of a Country Couple
Caught In Storm.
It is related of the whimsical Dean
Swift that on one occasion when
caught in shower of rain he took
shelter under wide spreading tree,
where he found a party Of young peo-
Pile waiting for the storm to cease.
One, a girl. was weeping. and the
dean learned that she was on her way
to church to marry a young fellow
who was with her.
The party were walking, as was
then the custom in country districts,
but owing to the storm ii seemed very
much as if the ceremony would not
take place that day.
"Never mind" said the dean; "I'l
marry you"
He took up his prayer book and
there and then performed the cere-
mony. At the finish he tore leaf out
of his pocketbook and with pencil
wrote and signed a certificate, which
he handed to the BRIDE Besides the
names and the date, there was the fol-
lowing:
Under tree in stormy weather
/ married this man and woman together.
Let none but him who rules the thunder
Sever this man and woman asunder,

useless This is Ascension island, in

This island is the property of the
Bnifnish admiralty and is governed by
captain of the royal navy. There is
30 griiMate property in land. so there
aEe NO irerts, taxes. etc. The Hocks
and herds ARE public property, and
the naeat killed is issued in rari0ns.
So are the vegetables grown ON the
farms.
When a fisherman makes catcn he
brings lit to the guard room, where it
is issued by the sergeant major. The
only private property are fowls and
pigeons Even the wild donkeys are
under government control. They are
listed on the books Of the paymaster
and are hafsded over at stock taking.
The population consists Of a few;

MAMMOTH CAVE.
Il Furnished the Saltpeter For the
War of 1912.

Il Furnished the Saltpeter For the
War of 1912.
There is an interesting bit Of history
connected with the cave. Few Amerl-
cans are aware that it helped to save
the country in the war OF 1872 by fur
nishing saltpeter for the manufacture
of gunpowder, but such is the case.
The powder used by Old Hickory in
whipping the British so handsomely at
New Orleans in 1915 is said to have
been made with saltpeter from Mann
moth cave. AS early as 1900 Mr..
Fowler obtained, it is said. 100000
pounds of inter from the twenty-eight
limestone caverns that had then been
discovered in Kentucky.
In 1906 Dr. Samuel Brown of Lex
ington rode thousand miles on horse
back to Philadelphia to lay before the
American Philosophical society, in ses-
sion there, the facts about the pres
ence of inter in these caverns, saying
that the deposits would be especially
valuable in case of war with any for
eign power. Brown did not mention
Mammoth cave by name at that time,
and the probability is. as local tradi-
ton asserts. that it was first discov-
cred by whites in 1909 when hunter
named Houchins or Hutchins entered
it in pursuit of wounded bear. Bay
ard Taylor says it was first discovered
In 1902, but does not give his author
ity. The only value set on it at first
was for the nitrous earth it contained.
For this Mr.. Mclean paid $40 for
the cave and 200 acres Of land around
its mouth. Mclean sold it to Mr..
Gatewood; he to Messrs. GRAFT and
wilkins, who derived a fortune from
the saItpeter made there during the
war of 1912. The embargo cut us of
from any other supply. and the output
of saltpeter from this cave enabled our
manufacturers to make sufficient pow
der to carry on the war.-New York

ANCIENT CLOCKS.
Curiosities In the Museum of the
Town of Schrawberg.

Curiosities In the Museum Of the
Town of Schranberg.
In the town of Schramberg, in the
Black Forest district of Wurttemberg
Germany, where one of the chief in
dustries is clockmaking, there is an
interesting museum of timepieces. The
COLLECTION displays the gradual develop
ment in the making of clocks for many
centuries.
Among the curfosities are many Of
great historical value. There is an
alarm clock constructed in the year
1850 for the use of travellers. In form
It resembles lantern, and the interior
is designed to hold a lighted candle.
The candle is slowly pushed forward
by a spring. which also controls the
mechanism OF tfhe clock. A little pair
Of shears Clip the wick of the candle
automatically every minute to regulate
its light. The lantern is inclosed with
movable Slides, so that the sleeper Is
not at first disturbed by the presence
of light.
The alarm lis set by inserting peg
in the second dial plate. When the
required ihour arrives the alarm is
sounded. and at the same time the
movable slides fall. flooding the room
with light.
Among the ecuriosities is a japanese
saw clock. The clock itself produces
the motive ipower 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 weight. which
sinks once lin twenty-four hours. The
time is indicated by a hand on the
perpendicular scale.
