A Ghost In a Clock.

Basingstoke provides a remarkable
story of ghost in the form of clock
At the approach of midnight each
night the otherwise peaceful grand
father becomes inhabited by a spook.
The ticking changes into a deep and
peculiar humping, the clock increases
in stature, while pair Of gray feet
protrude from beneath its base. Pass
ing through transitional stages the
humping is replaced by'a spasmodic
breathing, and upon the stroke of 10
the pendulum door opens, revealing an
enormous ashy gray hand with mall
shaped fingers. The clock face dis
appears, displaying a frightful gray
head, large and round, with abnormal
ly long, pale blue eyes. Beyond
quiet stroll. which causes weird tap
pings along the landings during the
night, the apparition is inoffensive and
is said to prove Of great service in
sending every one early to bed.-Lon-

The Word "Person."

General Benjamin +. Butler, 1t Is
said. once asserted that a woman was
not a person" and a London suf-
fragette insists that the word person"
In its legal sense includes woman. The
word has had an interesting history.
Simplifying by etymology something to
make sound through. the Latin ''per-
soma" began by meaning an actors
mask with its mouthpiece. Then 1t
meant the character represented by
the player-"dramatis personae." Then
1t came to mean the part or character
one sustains in real life, and so the
persona ecclesiae," the man who rep
resented the church, became known
as a 'persOn'' in a special sense and
was eventually spelled as ''parson "
On the other hand, person" faded
away to mean just anybody. And so,
though a woman naturally resents be
ing referred to as a 'person" in or
binary talk, many women no less nat
urally desire to count as persona" In
the eye Of the franchise law.--Chicago

A WARSHIP'S RAM.

The Huge Steel 5eak Is Capable of In
flicting Terrible Injury.
A modern ram is nothing more than
a huge steel beak, or sput which is
fitted to the PROV of the hattleship for
the purpose of destroying an enemy's
ship In time Of war by the force of
collision. Indeed, should a vessel sue
coed In driving her ram against an
other warship the blow, if delivered
at full speed, would be sufficient to
crush in the ships side and sink her
Immediately.
A battleship's ram weighs about for
ty tons and is cast all in one piece.
1t is of solid steel and capable Of strik-
ing q tremendous blow. Shell proc
a man-of-war may be made, but the
skill Of the naval architect is unequal
to the task of designing a ship that
can resist the ram.
Great care must be exercised in fix
ing such a heavy piece of steel. The
method generally adopted is as fol-
strong derrick, the bottom end OF
which is attached to the extreme end
of the vessels keel plates. The gap
between the ram and the uncOmpleted
part, or hull, is walled tight compart-
ments. The weapon is so fixed that it
strikes just below the armored belt,
where resistance is weakest, while it
is so shaped that the ramming vessel
can by reversing her engines easily
disentangle herself from the ship she
has struck.-Philadelp Record.

CONTINUOUS SHOWS.
They Were Started by B. F. Keith In
a Boston Store.


a Boston Store.
II was in the month of January, 1888,
that Mr.. B. T. Keith, who had been
studying the show business with far
seeing eyes for many years. presented,
in a store that he had leased in Bos-
ton, the first continuous show ever
seen on any stage. He paid MS per-
formers $50 a week for a single turn
and $40 for double and required them
to give eight or nine turns a day. His
stop liner or chief attraction was a
pound and a half baby. The doors of
his playhouse were thrown open at
noon, and from that time until half
past 10 at night the performance went
on without interruption.
Patrons were allowed to spend the
entire day in the theater and at first
so many availed themselves of this OPP
portunity to get a substantial filling of
amusement at a small cost that Mr..
Keith realized that he must either
abandon the idea of a continuous en-
tertainment or else invent some meth
cd by which the audience could be
driven out of the building and place
made for those outside who were wait
ing for admittance. Necessity is the
mother of invention, especially when
it is mated with sharp Yankee wit, and
it was thus that what is known as
''the chaser" came into the world

Murphy summoned an officer by tele-
phone, O'Neil was arrested and the girl
was called to the front door to identify
him. AS she did so O'Neil drew a revol-
yer, which was concealed under his coat,
shot under the officers arm and killed
the girl. He was rushed toward the
guard house to be shackled, but he broke
away and reached some timberland al
