STRIKING TIME OF CLOCKS.
Not Always Set for the Hour-Reason
for the Variations.

1t is hard to have a number of clocks
strike together. according to Ernest IL.
Guenther of Pittsburg Pa, who is in
terested i'll the manufacture of time
pieces.
You see," he said, "some clocks are
arranged to strike half a minute before
the hour, some a quarter Of minute
before, others a few seconds after and
50 on. Now, if | regulate them 10
strike at the same instant they will not
be in agreement in point of actual time.
and that is really more important
consideration.
"Of course if there are a great many
clocks in the house it is likely that
several will happen to strike together.
For instance there is one house which
has twenty clocks and one of our men
looks after them. OF these, five or six
strike in unison and the others all with
in a minute. excepting one. He has
orders to keep nineteen of the clocks
at exactly the correct time, but the lit
tie jeweled timepiece in the bedroom of
the mistress of the house is to be kept
always three minutes fast.
NO, he does not get rich ut the bust
ness of winding clocks and seeing that
they keep time, but he makes fair
living at it. The house | just spoke of
is an especially profitable house. of
course, having SO many clocks. They
pay him 500 year for his attendance,
which is given weekly. Washington

PROHIBITION IS BLAMED
FOR MOONSHINE INCREASE
Federal Officials Find Gain of Illicit
DistiIeries in Southern "Dry"
Districts.

Washington, Apr. 5-Oficials of the
internal revenue bureau of the treas
ury department are of the opinion that
the temperance movement, which has
taken such strong hold of certain sec
tions OF the country, particularly in
the south, has resulted in increasing
the number Of violations of the inter-
nal revenue laws in the distillation of
illicit whisky.
The records up to the first of last
year did not show any very marked in
crease in the number of illicit distil-
leries destroyed or in the number of
arrests made, but recent reports clear
ly indicate that in many of the south
ern states, and especially in Alabama,
Georgia and North Carolina, there has
been greater activity displayed on the
part of the lawless mountain element,
who always have been troublesome to
the revenue agents, than in many
years.
This Is accounted for by the fact
that the legislatures of these three
states have enacted laws prohibiting
distilleries from operating within their
borders. In Alabama the law went
into effect on July 1, 1908; in Geor-
gia on January I. 1908. and in North
Carolina on January 1, 1909. Very
many of the legitimate distilleries
have moved their plants to Florida
and other border states, where the in
hibition does not exist.
During the year 1908 there were
1,133 illicit stills destroyed; in 1907
there were 1,139, and in 1906 there
were 1876, but the returns for the
nine months of the present fiscal year
show a decided increase in the num-
Der destroyed, the number so far re-
ported this year being 1,O17, with the
probability that by July 1 that number
will have been increased to approx
mately 1900.
The section of the south where
there is the most activity among the
so-called "moonshiners'' embraces the
Atlanta district, where it. is reported
12O stills were seized and destroyed
during the month of December last.
