A Verv Blo Clock.

The village clock, which because
Of its elevation, size, and Isolation
seems to the town a great thing, some
thing belonging TO the whole COM
munity. something for boys and even
men to wonder at, exists by the nun
dred in a metropolis, in church spires
and buildings. most OF them dwarIed
by surrounding skyscrapers OF mon.
strous size. and practically none OF
them causing a thrill. The city OF New
York however. now has a real town
clock. a clock that may be seen three
miles away a clock that looms up day
and night in the Metropolitan rover
and stirs the busy worker as he hur'
ries on his way. Here are some OF the
facts about this clock: Twenty-siH
foot across the face and 346 feet from
the sidewalk. Hands twelve and eigh'
feet long. Figures. four feet hlgn
One hundred and ninety-eight electric
lights in each dial, to say nothing OF
those in the hands. Above this CLOCK
stretches a tower the tip OF which Il

NOT GROWING COLDER.
Earth's Climate Has Not Changed
Within Historic Times.

During the last few years the sup
position that the earth is growing cold
er has received setback from the
consideration of the consequences
which result from the discovery OF
radium in the earth's rocks. II radi-
um exists throughout the interior or
the globe in the same quantities In
which It appears in the surface rocks,
then such is the volume OF heat which
il would render up that the earth
ought TO be growing hotter instead OF
colder.
IT, furthermore. the earth were
slightly increasing in temperature, the
amount of rainfall precipitated from
the atmosphere would become greater
rather than less, and as. at the same
time. the amount OF water, shut up in
the earth's rocks would also be forced
out in greater quantities by increas-
ing heat. It would not be possible to
suppose that the earth's surface was
becoming dryer.
Therefore the supposition that the
earth has exhibited within historic
time any general drying up or any
tendency to revert with more and
more suspicion. and the hypothesis
have been substituted that either the
apparent variations of climate are
local. or else that they are the results
of some seesaw of conditions. the
causes OF which remain TO be discoy-
cred.
In short. whatever test be applied,
Il becomes extremely hard to show
that the climate Of any portion of the
civilized world has appreciably chang
ed within historic time.-London Post:

Keepinq Its Fishers at Home.

The bread which Indiana scattered
on the waters has begun to return TO
her. More than five years ago the
state fish and game commission began
Systematically To stock the lakes and
streams of that state with fish. Utll-
izing the many lakes in its northern
part as breeding grounds. the com
mission succeeded in securing several
million fish Of desirable quality. These
were then distributed about the Yarl'
Gus water courses and lakes of the
state.
As a result II is now estimated that
about S3.O00.0 900 is annually spent in
Indiana by outsiders who go there to
fish. 1t is quite likely that as much
more is spent there by lndianians
who previously went elsewhere FOR
their sport. The cost OF stocking the
lakes was comparatively small. The
handsome returns show that the
money was well expended.-Chicagc

Ts,cblno Sailors 10 Swim.

Rear Admiral Schroeder, while
training the men in his fleet down In
Guantanamo bay. has discovered that
some $500 of them don't know how
to swim. and he reports to Washing
ton that he has taken measures TO
remedy this defect in their nautical

1t seems rather remarkable that
sailors. with large amounts OF water
always conveniently near, should lack
an art which so many landsmen pos
sess of which sailor is at any mo-
ment likely TO be in more or less des-
perate need. 1t Is a fact. however
that seamen. as class, swim far TO

worst thing in the world from which
to go in swimming. and the sailor

MANS DEBT TO THE HORSE.
A DociIe, Willing, and Useful Servant
for Aues.

OF all dumb brutes the horse is the
one which most deserves the gratitude
of man. Ii has been his docile and
willing servant for ages. Ii has help
ed him to conquer the reluctant earth.
II has eased and aided him in the dull
business of getting a living. 1t has
played a greater part in human pro-
gress than many a race OF men.
Until man had made the horse his
servitor and ally, the thing that we
now know as civilization was out or
his reach. The mere labor OF getting
his daily bread consumed all OF his
energies. But when the first plow-
horse threw its weight forward a new
era dawned for humanity. Thereafter
man began to have leisure to plan and
dream. Life became to him less a
matter OF muscle and more a matter
of mind. 1t was then that progress
really began.
The horse appeals very little to the
theatrical sense. II is a silent, patti

tie OF the humanlike emotionalism OF
the dog. 1t does not dash into raging
torrents to save its masters life; IT
is not destroyer Of burglars and kid
nappers: Il does not cuddle down on
hearth rugs. One rarely loves a
horse, perhaps. as one sometimes
loves a dog. But in those drab but in
valuable virtues which distinguish
the honest friend and true comrade,
willing TO take his share Of labor in
the heat OF the day, the horse is With
out peer.
The day OF the horse. say the
prophets. is we'll nigh done. In an
other generation or two he will give
way to soulless machines. We two
legged mortals will eat him, perhaps,
or watch him race around a track, but
We will no longer need him In our end
less battle with the pitless earth. SO
be II, Let him go-but let us not for
get him. Time was when there were
no devil wagons or gasoline engines,
no locomotive or steam thrashers, and
in that time man and the horse, labor
ing valiantly side by side. conquered
continents and made the waste places
bloom.

SHOOTING at Storms.

Another popular belief has been
rudely shaken as the result OF a sclen-
tific investigation. There has not been
much heard of late about producing
rain by the discharge of explosives
but the belief in the efficacy of can
non in breaking up hailstorms has
been more persistent. In the vine
growing regions of France and Italy
the injury done by hailstorms is a
very serious matter and the firing OF
a cannon has come into quite general
use as a means of prevention. But
now comes from United States Consul
Sharp, Of Lyons. a series or articles
giving the conclusions arrived at by
the French department of commits
sions of meteorology showing its dis
belief in the efficacy Of the practice.
It does not find that the firing of can
non is at all beneficial for the pur-
pose Of dispensing hailstorms.

FREAK RUBBER TREES.
RevoIted Against Parasites and Killed
Them on.

Some years ago big planter In the
Congo abandoned rubber tract Oh
several hundred miles which had be-
come infested with the parasite OF
the region. All the trees dropped and
died down TO the roots, only these
surviving. Part of the trunk under
the inner bark continued TO yield the
rubber milk, as usual, but the fluid
was found to be thoroughly poisoned
and apparently useless. A visit 10
the abandoned tract some years after
the blight had fallen showed, 10 the
amazement of the owner. that the
trees had taken on new life. When
the milk was tested he found that II
made rubber OF superior quality
and now brings the highest price IN
the market. Apparently nature had
revolted against the destructive IN
sects and with their poison the trees
had inoculated themselves against
further affliction of the kind.

The "Luckn Of Peacock's Feathers.

The peacock's feathers superstition
is nothing like so common as X used
to be. Perhaps Whistler's celebrated
Peacock Room helped to break II
down. At any rate. Peacock's feath-
ers are ordinary enough articles OF
decoration in many happy and PLACID
homes. There are shops in London
that keep these bringers Of misfortune
at a shilling a bundle. Did the super
stitition originate because of the re-
puted pride Of the peacock, on the
"pride shall have a fall" theory? OF
is II that the "eye" Of the feather Is
supposed to see undesirable happen
