Most Famous Clock Faces.

The art of clockmaking has achiev-
ed many remarkable triumphs during
many centuries. Sometimes it is a
clock wonderful for the completely
of its movements and it's busy popu-

admiration, like that i'm the cathedral

the case with the celebrated clock in
the tower of the Church at st. Rom

largest dials that exist i'm the world.
There are four Of them, one on each

The Fate of the chamols.

Switzerland is awakening to the
necessity of government Intervention
If the channels is not to become as
extinct in the Alps as the buffalo in
America. In the Grisons the killing
of chamois was prohibited last year.
Shooting licenses have been issued
this year, but next year again will be
close year, and so will 1909. Police
reports show that between 1875 and
1905 the number of chamois slaugh-
tered in the canton reached the huge
total of 34,S0S. If the 5000 chamois
still surviving in the Grisons are to be
preserved, and If the animal is not to
be lost in other cantons, something
more than alternate close years will
be needed. When the sportsman took
the risks of the rocks and went to
shoot his chamois for food where he
found him there was no danger of ex-
termination. 1t is the safer but more
cruel system of "drives" which caus-
es whole herds to be shot down at
once.-New York Tribune.

Women Who Will Gamble.

The most difficult gambling to keep
in check both in Singapore and Pen
ang Is gambling among Straits-born
women of all classes from the highest
downward. Frequent complaints are
received from husbands whose wives
have lost heavily, and it is known that
there are five lotteries operating more
or less daily in Singapore which are
almost exclusively supported by
"nonias." Education may possibly do
something to stop this vice among the
Straits-born ladies, but it must be
confessed that its effect in that di-
rection on their husbands and brothers
is but small.-South China Post.
