A New Electric Clock.

An interesting electric clock, run
by a single dry cell and quite indie
pendent of external connection, has
just been put on the market in Eng.
land. A heavy balance wheel is kept
in motion by an electric magnet,
mounted Numerically across it. As
the balance wheel swings against
the action of the coiled spring, a stud
ON the axle makes contact with a
light spring, this completing the cleo.
tric circuit and energizing the mag
net, which acts for a moment upon
the balance wheel. This impulse is
given once every four seconds. 1t is
said, that n dry cell will run the clock
for 1,000 consecutive hours. The
movement is noiseless, and the clock
may be placed in any position without
interfering with its running.-Youth's

Harris TWeedS,

Oh all the classes OF |homespun prob
ably the most famous is the Harris
tweed. made OF the island of Harris,
in the Outer Hebrides, off the west
coast of Scotland, but some of the
tweeds known as Harris are made
on the isle of Lewis and also in the
North Uist. All of these tweeds are
legitimately designated as Harris
tWeeds. as they are made by almost
Identical methods, and it is practical
ly impossible even for an expert to
differentiate between tweeds made on
these islands. These homespuns are
heavy of weight and The natives being
proficient in the use of dyes the cloth
is uniformly of various soft colors,
such as browns, green's. drabS or rich
and harmonious blendings of these
colors. 1t is a curious fact that very
few OF these islanders possess the Sc
cret of dyeing black, and gray is like
wise an uncommon color in a real Har-
ris tweed. These tweeds have gener-
ally, but not invariably, n question
ably pleasant odor, with which any
one who has eyer worn a Harris
tweed will be instantly familiar, and
which to a considerable extent comes
from the peat smoke, or peat reek,"
as it is called, peat being the fuel uni
versally burned on these islands. The
dyes also contribute to the odor as
well, particularly a l.chen called erot-
tie, which is very redoient. The pres
ence of this odor is one way of telling
a genuine Harris rom the machine

indians Not Decreasing.

The popular idea that the American
Indians are decreasing in number is
dissipated by official figures showing
that to-day there are more than $780,
600 red men in the United States.
The increase in population of about
10000 during the last two decades is
attributed to the governments con-
slant effort to uplift the Indian to the
level of contemporary civilization.
To encourage the industry of the
Indian the government has found
feasible the plan to cut down the num-
Der of approved leases on Indian al
lotments, and thousands of Indians
have become competent to conduct
their own affairs free from govern
mental control. During the present
year the leases approved numbered
about 1000 less than during 1908.
During 1908 about 1000 Indians were
given the privilege of handling their
own allotments, although the legal
title was retained by the government.

MANY A PRECEDENT
RECORD OF PLAGlARlSMS is
EXTENSIVE.
kitchener's Recent Use OF Lord Cur
IONS Speech Recalls a Few His
toric Instances of Oratory
That Was Not Original.

They are telling a tale on Lord
Kitchener of how his speech, when
he babe farewell to India, was prac-
tieally a repetition Of the address of
Lord CurZon on "a similar occasion,
two or three years ago. and what
would add to the embarrassment of
the circumstance is the notorious fact
of the bad understanding between The
two when they divided authority as
rulers OF the most populous and pos
sibly the most extensive of all the
British possessions.
Something like it occurred in our
country the first half of the last cen
tury. John White, a member from
Kentucky, was the speaker Of the
Twenty-seyenth congress. He was
from the mountain section of the
state, proud and sensitive, and got to
be speaker because he was the fol-
lower and protege of Henry Clay.
II was a very stormy congress,
owing to the quarrels between the
president and the two houses, and the
speaker was a very busy man the clos
ing hours of the last session. When
h. returned thanks for the accus-
toned resolutions commendatory of
his official conduct, it was a beautiful
speech he made, but it subsequently
developed that 1t was verbatim the ad-
Dress Aaron Burr had delivered in the
senate in 1905 upon retiring from the
vfce.presidency, and the most stately,
as well as the most beautiful address
an American presiding officer ever de-
iiyefed himself of.
White explained that a friend pre-
pared his address, and that he was
totally ignorant of its origin. Never
theless, he took his own life not long
afterward. 1t is pretty safe to ION
clude that Kitchener, the grim sol
der, is of more callous fiber.
When it was found out that John J..
ingalls, eulogy of Representative
Burns of Missouri was taken from the
funeral Grafton pronounced by Mas
sillon on that son of France who was
the Telemachus of Fenelon's immor-
tai work, the brilliant senator from
Kansas said not a word, but only
shrugged his shoulders and twinkled
his eyes
1t affords food for speculation if
Fenelon's pupil had survived to sue
coed Louis XIV. on the throne of
France, and had reigned a score of
years. 1t is safe to say the crown
would have reformed the administra-
ton, and its wearer been the king of
his people as well as of his mobiles.
Had that occurred there would have
been no revolution, no terror, no en-
pire, Mirabeau, Danton and Robespier-
re would not have been prominent.
Neither would Napoleon ~Bonaparte.
But God doesn't make such folks as
they without providing them with a
job. Hence he took the French Tele-
machus to himself.
