Some say that Archimedes mace IN
arst wheel clock as early at 200 B. @.
Others give credit to Wallingford, who
lived so late as the beginning Of the
fourteenth century. But the most per-
feet water clocks were, long before the
latter period. furnished with wheels,
% that the only improvement was the
substitution Of a solid body to act as
a moving weight instead Of water. II
q not to be wondered at that the ap-
plication of q weight to clocks as a
moving power should attract so little
attention. as water and sand were IN
doubtedly thought more convenient by
contemporary writers. The oldest COM
plete clock moved by weights Is prob
ably that sent by the sultan Of Turkey
20 Frederick II. in 1892 In the thir-
tenth century many OF the church
Uteeples In Italy were furnished with
clocks moved by weights. which struck
the hours. Hele Of Nuremberg Il sup
posed to have constructed the first
watch IN 1900, and to him must also
be given the credit Of the spring clock.
The fusee was probably invented In
England about the end Of the six
tenth century. But It was not until
the middle Of the seventeenth century
that the pendulum was first applied to
clocks by Huyghens.

lows some opium and ends his

The prison at Cettinje, Montenegro,
has been described as surely the most
extraordinary one In existence. It pre-
SCENTS little to indicate that It Is
place Of confinement there being ap-
perently nothing between the prison
srs and absolute liberty. There are no
outer prison walls, and In the cells the
men-about eight or ten to each-are
a. contentedly and comfortably hous-
ed as their own personal domestic be-
longings can make them. Moreover,
they are generously fed, and cigarettes
without stint, wine occasionally and
no work at all combine to check any
desire to escape more e1ectually than
would strong walls, iron bars and an
army Of jailers.-London Globe

Scarcity Of Leather.

When the scarcity OF hides and skins
q referred to il Is hardly understood
by the laymaD, who perhaps does not
know that the world Is being secured
N all corners for all available skins
and hides. More races are constantly
becoming civilized. and the increase
Of our hide and skin supply is not in
proportion to- that Of the human race.
The amount Of leather used In the
manufacture OF novelties OF all kinds
has Increased to a great extent with
IN a few years, says the Shoe Retailer.
but IN no line has the use OF leather
broadened so extensively as In automo-
bile manufacture. Any one who Is at
all familiar with an automobile knows
that there is a considerable amount OF
leather used In its construction. in up
holstery and otherwise. This means a
large draft on the leather market.
which Is perhaps more noticeable in
the high price Gf spready steers. the
hides OF which are extensively used
for that purpose.
