The Auctioneers Houralass.

An auctioneer Of Philadelphia col
lects all sorts of objects pertaining to
his ancient calling. He has. among
other things, an interesting set OF auc'
toneers' hourglasses. The auctioneer
a century or so ago concluded sale
not by saying Going. going. gomez
and rapping the counter with his ham
mer, but it was his better method to
turn up a free running glass toward
the end Of the bidding and to end the
sale irrevocably when the sand ran
out. This saved confusion and dis.
pute. The auctioneers' glasses in the
Philadelphia collection are picturesque
One is Of tortoise shell and mother-of-
pearl. Another is Of amber and gold.
4 third is Of teak and ivory.

The Chief Justice.

There are very few people who know
the proper designation of the man who
presides over the supreme court said
the secretary Of the senate.
Generally he is referred to as the
chief justice Of the United States su'
preme court. In fact, he is the chief
justice. That's his official title. Most
Of our presidents in nominating men
for this Office have fallen into the error
Of giving him the long title. When
George Washington nominated Oliver
Ellsworth Of Connecticut for this post
he described it. as chief justice Of the
supreme court of the United States.
Andrew Jackson made the same error
in nominating Richard B. Taney. Sc
did Abraham Lincoln when he appoint.
ed, Salmon P. Chase. Grover CleTe-
land was the first president to give the
correct designation. When he appoint
Melville ". Fuller he nominated
him to be chief justice and nothing
else. Future nominations will be
framed in this fashion. ."-Washington

The possibility that the shocks OF

the esfsh's mass, may set off" anoth'
er quake thousands of miles distant
has been suggested by an Italian stu
dent of the subject, Signor Emilio Cd
done. OF course, this would be the
case only, where the crust of the earth
was in such an unstable condition that
a good jarring would cause slipping or
breakage Signor Oddone has recent
ly called attention to the fact that
just half an hour after the great Val
paraiso earthquake another quake was
recorded, the center of which was in
the north Pacific, about 1000 miles
distant. The time required for an
earthquake wave to traverse the solid
substance of the earth from one of
these points to the other is just the
period that separated the two disturb

that the big Valparaiso quake pulled
