It was cold. disagreeable day, late
In November, and the cutting wind
blew in fierce little gusts around the
corners Of the tall city buildings. The
streets were almost deserted, save for
q few men and women, who, mufaed
almost beyond recognition, hurried
with heads bent in face of the wind,
which seemed to come from every d.
rection. The thermometer registered
several degrees below zero, and the
sky was heavy, with every indication
OF snow. No one noticed that the
great clock in the court house had
stopped. and at three o'clock no one
missed the striking Of the hour.
At just one minute before three the
power which ran the clock was turned
OH, and, for the first time since it was
started, several years before, the great
hands were still. The nut which held
the hands in place had become loos-
ened, and a man skilled in the mech
anism of clocks had been called to
tighten the screw.
1t was perilous undertaking. The
clock was $50 feet above the street,
and his only way to get to it was by
lowering himself from a lookout 80
feet above. The face measured "a
feet, the minute hand was nearly IL
feet long, the hour hand nine. These
hands were very heavy and solid, of
wood, covered with galvanized iron,
and were two feet thick.
The man stood for minute gazing
out over the city, after fastening the
rope which was to let him down to the
clock. He planned to gain a footing
on the hour hand, which was almost
horizontal at this hour, and work his
way across to the center, where it
would take him but moment to tight.
en- the screw, get back to the rope and
pull himself up. He drew a deep
breath and carefully let himself over
the stone railing of the lookout.
The snow was now falling fine and
fast, driven hard by the wind. The
man was almost blinded by it, when
he fek his foot firm upon the hour
hand. The rope was barely long
enough, and he wished he had taken
longer one, but he thought it would
not pay to go back, as long as this
one would reach, though he realized
that it would be harder for him to
get back with the short one. Sitting
down, he slid over to the center and
commenced his work. Every moment
the snow became more binding, and
as he glanced downwards he noticed
that he could not see the streets
below.
He had finished and was Just about
to start back for the rope, when he
heard great wllirr inside the clock.
and almost at the same time felt a
jerk of the hand upon which he was
seated. He made one mad, hurried
move towards the end Of the hand,
when all at once his every sense
seemed to be paralyzed by the deafen-
ing sound of the chimes. The sound

ORIGIN OF LowEsToFT CHINA.

Story Of Mandatory Of Which tho
Products Are Now Highly Priced.
At the end of the North Parade,
Lowestoft, is the Warren house-a
place of great interest to connoisseurs
Of china. 1t was here in the eighteenth
century that discovery of fine clay
was made which eventually led to
Lowestoft manufacturing the china
which is now so rare that it is almost
priceless.
Initial experiments, made by Hew.
lin Luson, ESQ.,, Of Gunton park, near
Lowestoft, with some fine clay dis
covered accidentally on his estate, re-
suited in complete success, and ulti-
mately led to the opening of factory
at Lowestoft in 1856 for the manufac.
ture Of fine earthenware and porcelain
soft PASTE"
In 1875 a finely glazed and deco
rated "hard paste" was introduced, the
efficiency and beauty of which be-
tokened brilliant success for the
proprietors. Contemporary evidence
indisputably shows that from ITO to
1900 the Lowestoft works were at the
zenith of their fame. Owing, however,
to the enormous expenses and diff.
Guilty incurred in procuring china clay
from Cornwall and elsewhere (after
the original clay was exhausted), and
the rapidly increasing competition Of
other makers, its prosperity waned,
the collapse came and the works were
closed in 1903.
