A REMARKABLE CLOCK

New York Herald: All the move
ments Of the earth are represented by a
remarkable astronomical clock which
yesterday was placed on public view
at the American Museum of Natural
History. 1t was designed by DR.. Her
man c. Bumpus, the director of the in
stitution and is the result of months OF
patient experiment.
1t not only shows the daily rotation
Of the earth upon its axis but the mo-
ton about the sun. and also demon
strates through all the year the changes
which cause the march of the seasons
The earth, is a globe of paper COM
position four feet in diameter. while
the sun is a stereopticon placed at a
distance of ten feet. The light from
the stereopticon shines upon the sphere
lnsuch manner as to illuminate hall
of it at time. The shadow of a wire
which is back Of the lens corresponds
to the meridian of New York.
The earth is caused to revolve BY
means of shaft which derives its
power from a small Howard steeplt
clock. This shaft passes through &
wooden tunnel and communicates its
power to bevel gears, which cause thu
sphere to be always changing its poise
BY watching the meridian shadow
the observer can always tell the time
of day with mathematical accuracy.
No device Of its kind has ever beer
exhibited in a museum for the instruc-
ton of 1.-The public. and this astronomica
clock rivals in it's accuracy and in the
painstaking way in which 1t is con-
structed the most delicate instruments
to be seen in well equipped observa-
tories. The contrlvance was con-
structed by w. H. Beers, an expert
mechanician connected with the mu-
scum.
It was the original intention to have
merely globe showing the one motion
Of the earth, but as the scheme devel-
oped through experiments the present
elaborate clock was gradually perfect
ed.
On the ground floor of the museum IL
another device showing the revolution
of the earth about the sun on a larger
scale. The orbit swings through the
entrance hall and over the information
bureau and into the hall OF forestry
while in the center of the foyer the
sun shines for all.

A STUDY IN CONTRASTS.

Pittsburg Dispatch: During de-
bate on an appropriation bill in the
house the other day Representative
Focht OF Pennsylvania called attention
to the fact that an hours time. cost
ing the country $4,000. had been spent
in discussing 800 item. This set
the mathematician to work. with the
result of not only confirming the Penn
sylvanians estimate Of what an hour
Of debate in congress costs the nation,
but proving that actually he under
stated the figures. which were $780,
$685..
In contrast to this lavish expendi-
ture of time that is very much money,
indeed, on the same day the house in
an hour and forty minutes rushed
through the urgent deficiency appro-
priation bill of $1,060,665. In other
words, while the house consumed $10,-
500 worth of time over a 800 item, it
had much less hesitation 'in spending
$4,000 a minute.
This seems to have been case of
saving the hundreds and letting. the

In the betterment Of its main line
the Northern Pacific has done some
important work this year. Practically
all the double track work between
Huntley and Billings, thirteen miles
and Billings to Laure, Mont, fifteen
miles. was done this year. Double
tracking is under way for sixty five
miles between Kalama and Tenino, on
the Portland-Tacoma line, and will be
finished in the spring. Altogether the
Northern Pacific now has about 651
miles of double track finished.
Great Northern inactive
The Great Northern has had tight
year in opening up new territory, out
side OF its invasion of oregon. Through
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle road
owned and operated Jointly by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
an invasion OF Hartman territory
was started this year which means
more for the development OF that
state than any other factor in it's
history. The line is being pushed
down the Des Chutes valley as far as
Medford, near the California boundary
line, tapping fertile region. No part
| Of the line is yet in operation but next
year will see considerable of it haul

Branch Along the Columbia
Grading was done on line from
Oroville, Wash, in a southerly direc-
ton, following the Okanogan and CO.

miles, which, when finished will fur
nish transportation to promising
fruit and agricultural territory, al

Ultimately this line will be extended
southerly along the Columbia river to
a connection with the main line at
Wenatchee, Wash.
Contractors did grading at different
points on a route surveyed between

225 miles in length The route passes
through a good agricultural territory
and when finished will materially
shorten the distance for through traf-
fic and relieve congestion on the pres
emf main lines through North Dakota.
Grading and surveying work was
done on other projects of the Great
Northern and British Columbia.
In addition to the new projects fin
ished and started, the North Western
lines in general have spent vast sums
this year in permanent improvements,
The Hill lines have spent fortunes
in acquiring property for terminals
at the big centers at the east and west
end, as has the 500 at the head of the

WHAT THEY ARE AFTER.

At the meeting of the Hammond
council last evening an ordinance was
introduced amending the present or.
dinance regulating amusements in
such a manner as to take the control
OF boxing exhibitions out of the hands
of the police authorities.
Ostensibly the ordinance was
framed for the purpose of relieving
the Hammond Athletic association of
the necessity of paying a license fee
for holding boxing exhibitions.
The clause referring to boxing ex.
hibitions made an exception in the
case of regularly organized athlet-
ic association" 1t relieved such or
CARNATIONS of the necessity of paying
the regular fee and incidentally took
the control of such entertainments out
of the hands of the. city authorities.
Should the amendment to the or
dinance be adopted the police author.
