BY WAY of Experimens.

Not long ago there was a certain
salesman in a dry goods shop Of an
Ohio city who was habitually observ-
ing to his fellow clerks that the con-
Germ would find 1t rather difficult to
get along without him. These re-
marks coming to the ear Of the senior
partner Of the firm, he decided to in
terview his clerk concerning them.
''Mr. Spotts," said the partner, with
a grim smile, although you have not
proved to be our most efficient clerk,
yet we have appreciated such service
as you have condescended to render us
during the intervals when you were
not expatiating on your own merits.
Now we have lately heard 1t said that
If you were to die the business would
have some trouble in surviving the
loss. This las worried us a good deal,
for you, like all of us, are liable to
drop off at any moment.
"For this reason, therefore, we have
concluded, for our peace of mind, to
experiment while all Of us are in good
health in order that we may ascer-
tain whether the firm can bear up
under your loss. You will accordingly
consider yourself dead for the period
Of one month, and we will try to see
whether we can get along without you
for that length Of time."-HarperA

AN ACCURATE CLOCK.
The Timepieoe In the Observatory of
Columbia University.

The Timcpiece In the Observatory Of
Columbia University.
In the observatory of Columbia uni
versity is one of the most accurate
clocks In the world. 1t has run for
several months with mean error of
only ifteen-thousandths of a second
and a maximum error of thirty-thou-
sandths of second per day. That
means that 1t does not vary more than
half second a month, or six seconds
a year.
Compare this with the first pocket
timepiece, the animated egg of Nu-
remberg," which required winding
twice a day and varied an hour and a
half in the same time! Compare il
with some of the highest priced
watches manufactured today, which
often vary more than ten seconds a
week, and you will have some idea Of
the refinements in the science of meas
uring time. Yet even this accuracy is
surpassed by some famous timepieces,
If the trade magazines are to be be
lieved. There have been accounts in
them of clocks or watches that have
varied less than a second in periods as
long as ten years.
The clock at the University Of Co
lumbia Is an astronomical clock. 1t Is
surrounded by glass case in which
partial vacuum is maintained, and in
order that the case may not be lopened
or disturbed the winding is done auto
matically by electricity. The clock Is
set up in a room especially constructed
to keep 1t free from jar or vibration.
The temperature and barometric con-
ditions are maintained practically con-
stant, and every possible preoaution Is
taken to minimize the errors Of the
running mate.-New York World.

Gene soon set matters right
Matte was accustomed to Miss Jean
nette's sudden whims, and she assured
Gene that presently there would be a
turn of the tide in his favor. Mean
while she had to obey Miss Jeannette's
prohibition against seeing Gene, so the
only communication they held was by
means Of notes.
Every morning when Gene came
home from his work he found note
stuck In the wide mouth of the empty
milk bottle beside the Boyer doorway.
The milkman came through the house
later, gathering up empty bottles and
leaving the filed ones.

Had Mrs. Carman been willing to
act as messenger the problem would
have been far more simple. but the
kindly old lady would have nothing to
DO with the affair.
She was hurt that the friendship
should be so suddenly terminated and
still more hurt that her son should be
regarded as ineligible. She wondered
at his lack of pride that he should still
want to marry Matte in spite of Miss
Jeannette's prohibition, and she was
most ostentatiously neutral.
For time the milk bottle postoffice
answered its purpose excellently we'll
Miss Jeanette went to bed early and
let Matte close the house, so that the
latter set the bottle out in the hall
every evening.
But one morning Gene did not come
home as usual. There had been a SEN
Bational accident, and all the men on
duty had been rushed to the scene.
Even the men on the desks who could
be spared were sent out, Gene among
them.
1t was nearly noon when he at last
reached home, so exhausted that not

Miss Jeannette's objection to Gene
Carman was his profession. He was

he came home anywhere between and
8 o'clock in the morning.
Miss Jeanette was country bred, and
for forty years she had accepted with
out question the dictum that those who
were out of night were no better than
thieves and robbers.
Just what was the difference between
thieves and robbers Miss Jeanette did
not know. She knew only that those
were the only sort of persons who
were out when decent folk should be
abed, so when her pretty niece, Matte
Boyer, gave evidence of more than a
passing interest in Carman she very
