In these days of the oncom-
ing automobile it sometimes
interesting to pause to consid-
er the horse that noble animal,
which has been characterized as mans
best friend" His important position
among the nations of the earth is cas-
lily demonstrated, and this fact is best
known in Buffalo Bills Wild West and
Pawnee's Bills Far East where he
cuts most essential figure The rough
rider contingent comprises equestrian
experts from all nations, arrayed in
native costumes and performing horse
back feats according to their individual
methods as employed in their own
countries. To witness all these horse
men on their native heath one would be
compelled to travel the world over, for
there are Cossacks from Russia, caval-
rymen from Japan, Guachos from South
America, Bedouin Arabs, Royal English
dragons, Irish lancers, German cuiras-
siers, Mexican vaqueros and our own
native Indian cowboys and western
girls. Each of these nationalities have
saddle methods of their own. They
range from the reckless daring of the
Cossack to the stately grace Of the
English cavalryman. The Cossack is

seems almost a circus performance Is
to him, merely a drill. The wild-look-
ing fellows stand up in their stirrups
stand on their saddles, stand on their
shoulders, stand on their heads-thei cir
horses galloping lnadly the while-and
whirl their swords until they look like
buzz saws. Contrasted with this ex-
hibition the military bearing OF the
German, English and American caval-
ryman may seem tame, but it all adds
to the composite picture of horseman-
ship, which has as its chief exponent
that knight of the saddle, Buffalo Bill,
who twice daily, rain or shine, leads
his cavalcades thru the most remark
able performance ever presented in
public.

Ingenious Clock for Ex-President

ventor, an Australian, who wishes to
pay his respects to the ex-president
because of the visit of the world
girdling feet to Australia
The clock is made with two dials
one for day use and one for night,
says Popular Mechanics. The night
dial Is transparent, with lenses above
it and a small electric lamp under
meath. When the possessor of the
clock retires for the night, he turns
the night dial toward the ceiling. At
tached to the side of his bed is an
electric push-button, connected with
the lamp by flexible cord. By press
ing this button at any time during the
night, the lamp is turned on, and the
outlines of the numerals on the dial
are thrown against the ceiling. The
shadow of the dial is four or FIVE feet
in diameter, making the numerals
easy to read
Photographs of Mr. and Mrs. Roose-
welt will be placed on both dials, the
front OF the case will be decorated
with crossed American and Australian
flags, and the sides will bear reproduc-
lions of the Australian coat of arms.

The Birth of a Whistle

Compared with the cultural cough"
OF the motor-car's warning signal. the
whistle emitted by railway engine
is musical. Seventy-five years ago.
however, this shrill note was un-
known and a provincial contemporary
reminds us that engine drivers of a
former generation kept by their sides
a tin horn, which they blew before ne
gotiating curves and dangerous cross
ings. But the noise thus made was
feeble. In 1888 an English farmers
cart was run down on the way to mar
ket and 1000 eggs, 100 pounds of but
ter, two horses and a man were de-
stroyed by the engine The railway
had to pay damages. The managing
director sent for George Stephenson
and said angrily. Our drivers can't
blow their horns loudly enough to
clear the tracks ahead You have
made your steam do so much. WHY
don't you make it blow a good loud
horn for u.s." Stephenson pondered.
An idea came to him. He visited a
musical instrument maker and had
constructed a horn that gave a bor-
rible screech when blown by steam.
From this horn the locomotive whistle
of to-day has been evolved.

REGULATE CLOCK BY WAVES
Timepieces of Great Cities to Be Set
by Electrical Currents and
Kept in Time.

To set the clocks of big city by
electrical waves and keep them uni
form in time-this is the latest facil-
ity. afforded to municipalities by a
magician in the science Of Narconics.
The inventor is a Viennese and his
name Is Franz Morawetz. He has
been experimenting for some years.
but it is only within recent DAYS that
re has thoroughly perfected his inven-
ton. At first it was found that at
mospheric upheavals and other dis
turbing factors rendered his process
futile when at every moment in the
day the receiving clock operated on
by the transmitter was attuned to the
action of the latter, the result being
that high winds and great disturb
ances of the air upset the proper ac-
ttion and course of the electric waves.
In the case of the present contri-
vance, the objective clock is isolated
during fifty-nine seconds in each mi
mute, in which time it is insensible
to all emission of electrical currents.
In the sixtieth second, however. the
receiving apparatus, hitherto idle. is
automatically brought into circuit
with the transmitter. No two clocks
travel at precisely the same speed,
and since there must be divergence
from a given standard, the waves d. |
rected from the transmitter of the
central clock-the standard time
proceed to adjust the objective time
teller to the standard of "headquar-
trs,' or the exact sun time.
The Electro-Technical institute of |
Vienna has adopted this method of |
looking afsSx the clocks of the Aus |

council votes yearly subvention of /

to distance of nearly a mile in all /
directions over the city. The in
ventor holds, however. that his pro-
cess could keep the clocks of whole
province in order.

lneandescent Lamps in Inaccessible
Places Replaced Without Much
Trouble.

1ncandescent lamps are often loated
IN almost inaccessible places, as in
high. ceilings, domes, etc. Obviously,
when the lamps are burned out they
must be replaced by new lamps. They
also require cleaning at stated inter
walls. In both operations, it is neces-
sary to employ some device by which
they can be quickly removed from the
sockets and replaced. A simple con-
trivance for accomplishing this has
recently been patented by New York
man. AS shown in the illustration
it consists of wire jaws protected by
rubber of like substance, which fit
over the bulbs. The jaws are at
tached TO long pole, so that the OPP
orator can reach the lamp from
