Many Precautions Are Taken to Insure
Their Accuracy.
To the average person an astronomi-
cal clock is complicated affair, Civ

Of the moon and other miscellaneous
informa ton. The facts are far other
wise There is no clock so simple as
that Of the astronomer. Even the con
venient plan of having the hour and
minute hands mounted at the same
renter is abandoned. because 1t makes
d more intricate form Of wheel work
necessary. says the Louisville Courier
Journal. The observatory clock has
separate dial for each hand. the cen
tiers Of the second hand. minute hand
and hour hand being in a straight line
and equally distant from each other.
To secure accuracy further precau-
tons are taken. Only men who have
attained worldwide fame in mechan-
Zeal construction are employed. The
chronometer must be mounted, not on a
wall that vibrates, but upon a strong
pier of masonry having solid founda-
ton: also it is best placed underground
In a cellar to secure for it a tempera-
ture as nearly uniform as possible. for
clocks do not run quite the same in hot
weather as they do in cold.
BY adjusting Il metal that has the
singular property of contracting under
heat 1t is possible to overcome the va
Ration in a measure. but the aStrOno-
mer prefers to provide for his clock a
temperature practically the same the
year round The going Of a fine clock
is further affected, strange as it may
seem. by barometric pressure. The
running is different when the barome-
ter is high from what it is when low;
hence the best clocks are now inclosed
In air tight cases to protect them from
outside barometric changes.

Harold Fisher One Of the Speakers

Founders Day was observed at the u.
v M. last Monday, and among the
speakers on that occasion was Harold
II. Fisher. son of Postmaster Fisher OF
this place. Mr.. Fisher spoke for the Sen.
Tor class, using for his subject =" The Mis-
| sion of Great Books" He said in part
" 1t Is the desire of our age that we shall be
specialists. and the majority of us having
been duly enrolled in science or business or
philosophy or art, we insist from the begin
ming on taking sides with one of these four
spirits
Everything which may tempt us from our
path appears to be something which retards
our progress. thing to be avoided SO in
something that may be utterly worthless as
II is read only for a moments diversion, or
else 1t Is something which bears directly on
our subject.
Except life ITSELF books are our best teach
ers for without exception the creators of
great literature have been more interested In
life than in making books. Towers crumble
to earth, but he whose book lives cannot die"
Books are the footprints on the march of
mind through the ages. They perform great
er feats than ever did that marvellous lamp of
Aladdin; they bring us friends for every
mood, paint pictures of surprising beauty,
make music for the cradle of our thoughts,
they overcome space, riches, poverty, the span
of time and even death, for through them we
hold converse with the sublimist spirits of
three thousand years. To Macau1ay books
were "old friends who are never seen with
new faces; who are the same in wealth and
poverty, in glory and obscurity."
Mr. Fisher concluded by stating the mis-
sion of great books. Their mission Is, as he
said, I" to place within our reach this express
sion of our larger selves, to weave into our
world some of the glory we have missed. "

EARN $4,000 AT SCHOOL

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Students
working their way through Columbia
University earned more than $4,000
the last academic year, as shown by
the report of the committee on stu
dent employment. The total earnings
fall short of the amount reported a
year ago, but the committee explains
this by the fact that only the students
on it's lists were asked for reports this
year, whereas in other years the en-
tire student body was asked .or a
record of it's earnings.
The students tried their hands at
every form of employment imaginable
from acting as secretary of a ma
tional reform association down to lay
ing brick
Nearly one-half of the total earn
ings were made during the summer
vacation of 1910, when the students
earned $7,877.94 with the aid of the
committee and $24,438.61 without it's
aid, amounting in all to $32,316.55. In
the academic year from October 1, 1910
to June 1, 1911, the earnings were
$43,392.90, and of this amount the COM

which brought returns Of $16,3S3 O8.
