clock viii Run 10000 Years.

It is reported that Lord Rayleigh's
son has invented clock which
would seem to prove that the Ques-
ton of perpetual motion has been
practically solved, for this clock, it
is claimed would run for 10000 years
without being wound up or touched
In any way.
The clock consists of two leaves
of aluminium, a glass tube, and a
fraction of a gain of radium, that
mineral of which really very little is
known at present, which causes the
aluminium leaves to move once
minute and at the same time to ring
bell.
Nothing is said as to the accuracy
of this timepiece, nor as to whether
it is an easy matter to read the time
of day by it's means, but, should 1t
prove to be an accurate and mex
pensive clock, it would certainly be
an invention of the greatest benefit
to mankind.

YOUNG DRYENFORTH
MAY LOSE FORTUNE

Washington, D. c., July 27.-After
having 6ecreed in his will that his
adopted son, Robert st. George Dyren-
forth. should receive the pulk Of his
estate, provided the boy finish Har-
yard at 10, avoid women, remain a
noncatholic and fulfill a number OF
other cumbersome conditions, it now
appears that the late Col Robert ST.
G. Dyrenforth left little property
Furthermore, his widow has filed
suit to compel the TecOnveyance to
her of large tract of land here,
which appears to have been about the
extent of Dyrenforth's possessions.
The land, which she claims is hers
by right and which was conveyed for
family reasons to a brOther-in-law, is
valued by her attorneys as worth be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, but is in
numbered to the extent of $4,000. She
knows of no other assets. Should any
might collect arrears in alimony on
which Mr. Dyrenforth is said to have
defaulted to her, although he WAS or
dered by the court in 1902 to pay her
$50 a month.
The little fellow, it is said, is
pleased to know that he will not be
obliged to comply for the sake of a
few thousand dollars with all the
whims which his adopted father chose
to incorporate in his last will and
testament

EASTERN KE-cHEWERS HE
AWAY INTO NEW HAMP-
SHIRE.
BUT NEW-FANGLED SERUM GIVES
GREAT HOPE TO sTERNu-
TATIoNIsTs.

The great sneeze-fest of this coun-
try, the annual convention of the
United States Hay Fever association
up in New Hampshire, will be held
beginning Friday, August &c.
Hay fever is not a pleasant disease,
and it makes it's victims suffer and
destroys their good temper. But it is
by far the best organized disease in
ithe country. So far as is known the
jaundice sufferers have never held a
convention, and no one has called a
meeting of those afflicted with in
growing toenails.
Not alone do the hay fever victims
get together and commisserate with
each other, but they get out booklet
each year which contains all the in
formation that can be obtained about
the disease, it's remedies, and the
places where the sufferers are ex-
empt for some, partly exempt for
others, ard not at all for others. So
in classifying the places the numbers
Of those who have reported exempt,
not exempt and partly so are given
The selection of New Hampshire
place was really made on merit, for it
has the largest number of exempt re-
ports from that place of all those
where the hay fever persons go for
relief Ninety-three persons have re
ported that they are totally exempt
while there, twenty-three that they
are not exempt, and sixty-four that
they get partial relief According to
the statistics prepared, New Hamp-
shire leads all places as haven for
the persistent sneezers. But this is
an eastern view which axes no cog
nizance of north wisconsin.
The booklet of the association is
made UP largely this year from the

gerry and Bankers Adopt it.
After being sentenced to 20 years in
San Quentin Prison for highway rob
berry, Frederick Hoffman, who now
has completed two years of his long
sentence, has perfected machine
which promises to effectually prevent
the raising and forging of checks and
false identifcations.
Not content with the routine or
prison life, the man whose inventive
genius has astounded the world put
in every hour in pondering over plans
for his machine. Every night when
supper had been served and the con-
victs returned to their cells to pass
few hours as suited their tastes, Hon-
man labored on his anti-forgery ma
chine
A fellow convict, skilled in wood
turning and carving, aided Hoffman,
and wooden model finally was con-
structed Crude as it was, every per-
son who saw the model pronounced
it one of the most wonderful inventions
of the age Permission easily was OBJ
tanned from Warden Hoyle to apply
for patent, and by means of outside
capital a full-sized machine was con-
structed Hoffman hopes, and many
believe he will be successful, to OBJ
tain his pardon through the invention
and to make a fortune after his re-
lease
In the office of A. D. Childress, 220
|. w. Hellman Building, Los Angeles,
there is a machine which is called the
National Cash Protector, and the
president of every bank in which it
has been introduced declares it will
prove of great Importance to bank
With long rows of numbered keys
above, giving it the appearance OF the
modern adding machine, one must be
cognizant of every cipher and code en-
ployed by the bank to obtain the de-
sired results The keys OF which
there are seven rows, are numbered
numerically from 1 to g.. The check,
draft, money order bill of lading or
whatever paper the operator wishes to
mark is placed in one end of the ma
chine and securely clamped. Keys
then are pressed giving the banks
secret mark, the amount of the check
and identifying the person receiving
the money. When the paper is with
drawn from the machine, however,
nothing more is visible than half
dozen round holes, punched appar-
emily at random on the face of the
check
When the paper in which the holes
have been punched is Isid upon a
piece of cardboard with corresponding
rows of numbers the holes fit over the
numbers punched by the original oper-
ator of the machine.
After having exhibited the machine
to many San Francisco, Oakland and
Los Angeles bankers the persons who
are backing the financial end of Hoff-
mans invention are confident that
every banking institution in the coun-
try will install a machine.
Steps now are being taken by per-
sons interested In Hoffman's case to
bring about his release, and it is
stated on reliable information that
Governor Gillett is willing to grant
the pardon.

COAL FOR WINTER

The question of the winter supply

er wizard says December will be an
extremely cold month"
The question of coal supply that is
agitating some sections of the country
because Of strikes, Is not causing the
people Of Columbia any anxiety, how
ever as coal can be had either from
Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama.
Coal is quoted now at Is to IS cents
a bushel, the figures first mentioned
applying to Kentucky coal, and the lat
ter to Tennessee and Alabama coal.
1t is expected, however that coal will
go higher IL DEVICES weather predic-
tions make good
The predictions for 1911 have not
yet been received. So 1t is impossi
BILE to form any idea as to what the
weather will be after December.

J. H. GILLESPIE
GALLANT SOLDIER AND CIVIC
LEADER OF EASTERN SECTION
GOES TO REWARD.

John H. Gillespie, one of the lead
ing citizens of the Leftwich section
died at his home at IL o'clock last
night. Mr. Gillespie was stricken
with paralysis on Saturday and from
that time until the end of his life was
despaired of. He was unconscious
much of the time.
Mr.. Gillespie was buried this af-
ternoon at Bethlehem church not far
from where he lived. His comrades
in the Confederate army acted as PAIL
bearers and as an escort Of honor, sew
eral from different parts of the eoun-
ty going to the funeral. He WAS a
member of the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian church.
Although he never held Office Mr..
Gillespie was prominent in the politics
of the county for many years. For a
long period he was member of the
Democratic Executive Committee from
the old third district and was fire.
quently chosen as delegate to coun-
ty conventions. He welded a great
influence among his neighbors up I'M
til the time Of his death. He was one
Of the most prosperous farmers OF the
eastern section, his farm containing
some 700 acres of fine land.
Mr. Gillespie is survived by FIVE
sons. His only two daughters proceed
ed him to the grave and his wife has
been dead many years. He was sixty

Without actual count it would be
difficult to say which faction was in
the majority in the original conVen-

strated the fact that there cannot be
complete harmony in this campaign.
1t is legislative fight here just as it
is elsewhere, and the thermometers
care nothing for harmony in this par

them and they were well met yester-
