The outrigger torpedo was simple
ity itself. AS was the method OF at
tack. A spar some thirty or forty
feet long, was rugged fore and aft of
4 launch. To the fore end of this spar
was attached case, fun OF powder,
with a firing apparatus connected
with the butt of the spar by a lam
yard. All the officer in command had
to do was to get close to the side of
the enemys ship, run out the spar,
elevate the butt so as to deprcss the
torTcdo below the watcr-line, fire the
charge against the EasselS bottom,
and the business was conc. The sole
difficulty was that this operation had

ARE MANY RAIL-
ROAD RUM0RS
ENGINEER WHITCOMB MAKING
PERMANENT CAMP AT LIME.
KILN UP COLUMBIA RIVER
LOWER COLUMBIA RUMORS.

There are all kinds of railroad
! rumors in the air The World is not
going to father any of them. The
only thing this papeJ knows positively
regarding the network of any of the
railroads is thek a camp has been
established at the lime kiln up the
Columbia, and that the Eagle Trans
fer company has been busy all morn
ing hauling supplies to this camp.
Engineer Whitcomb is in charge of
! the camp, and, as was stated recent
ly in the World, it is the purpose of
the engineers to correct the survey
made up the river last spring. En-
gineer WhitcOmb, who has been in
charge of the surveys on the Moses
Coulee, will be in charge of the crew,
and he is going to work from here to
Oroville, correcting the line as he
goes. The Eagle Transfer company
has furnished the railroad company
team and wagon for the past year.
This has been in use in the coulee for
the past summer, but it is being
brought down from Bridgeport for
use up the river. The surveying crew
came down yesterday on the boat
from Bridgeport.
There are many rumors afloat re-
garding railroad building and survey
ing. One report that was set aflOat in
the city yesterday by man who
claimed to have seen the surveyors
was tina. the Great Northern had
/, three crews of men at work between
here and Pasco, it being their evident
intention of making the crossing at
Trinidad and joining the Moses Cou-
lee extension This same man stated
that the North Coast road had two
crews of surveyors at work on the OPP
posite side of the Columbia between
these same points. The World does
not vouch for these facts, though it
has known for some time that the
country along the Columbia in Cen
trail Washington contained a large
number OF surveyors. working for va
rious companies.

ANCIENT CLOCKS.

Curiosities In the Museum of the
Town of Schramberg.
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
collector displays the gradual develop
ment in the making of clocks for many
centuries
Among the curiosities are many of
great historical value There is an
alarm clock constructed in the year
1880 for the use of travellers. In form
it resembles a lantern. and the interior
is designed to hold a lighted candle.
The candle is slowly pushed forward
by spring. which also controls the
mechanism of the clock. A little pair
&f shears clip the wick of the candle
automatically every minute to regulate
it's light The lantern is inclosed with
movable slides, so that the sleeper is
not at first disturbed by the presence
of light.
The alarm is set by inserting peg
in the second dial plate. When the
required hour arrives the alarm is
sounded. and at the same time the
movable slides fall. flooding the room
with light
Among the curiosities is a Japanese
saw clock. The clock itself produces
the motive power 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 a weight, which
sinks once in twenty -four hours. The
time is indicated by hand on the
perpendicular scale
