CLOCK RUNS THOUSAND YEARS
Inventor Asserts Mechanism Stores Energy Enough From Changes in

New York-A clock which, 1t is claimed. will run for a thousand years upon energy stored up from changes in temper9ture has been invented by Friedrich Bangeter, who has it on ex- hibition at his laboratory. No. 29 Rolf street. Staten Island. A patent has just been granted for this device. which is one of 50 inventions 10 the credit of Bangeter, who won gold medals at the worlds expositions in Pari- in 1900 and in Belgium in 1905. The secret of the clocks energy is the reduction to minimum of fric- tien in its running parts and the use of metals susceptible to heat and cold which. by their contraction and expan- sion. the inventor asserts, keeps the wheels turning through a device which releases metal balls in a wheel
 Bangeter claims he has coupled in practical way the well-known laws of contraction and expansion. and of gravity. In order to show the prac- ticability of his clock, he stopped fl. Then, by opening the door of the lab oratory, so as to cause a change of temperature. the mechanism started. and he asserted that unless interrupt cd 1t would continue for a throusapd years.

The de mand for breeding stock would grow and increase the cost of starting, as well as the returns from the bust ness.
 The natural food supply is an i'm portant consideration in choosing a range for the elk. While elk have done we'll in bluegrass pasture and on the prairie grasses alone they do Tar better on preserves which have a variety of food-grasses, bushes and trees. Rough lands well watered by streams and having a considerable proportion of forested area are best adapted to their wants
 On an average, such lands will sup port about the same number of elk as Of cattle on the same area, with out impairing the range There should be thiekets for the animals and a

 Except in times of snow. elk will keep in excellent condition on or dinary grass pasture, but a system or l management which regularly fur nishes other food to the animals will be found better. For winter. hay and fnHlpr oh but alfalfa has proved to be the most i satisfactory dry food that can be given to either elk or deer.
 A little oats or corn, whole or chop ped, may be fed each day Elk are fond of corn. and feeding corn and salt affords the best opportunities for winning the confidence of the animals and tanning them. Salt should be furnished liberaAy to all deer kept in inclosures Running water, although not essential. Is of great importance in maintaining elk in good condition
 Elk are not nervous like the com. mon deer and seldom jump an or. ] diuary fence A fence five feet in height Is usually sufficient to contlne elk. and Henry Binning of Cora, Wyo. thinks a tour-foot woven-wire fence l is ample. When they escape from an 1 inclosure in which they have been fed they usually return of their own ac cord. Some herds may be driven like ordinary cattle. A small inclogure for a ycioas hull elk should have a strong fence seven CT eight feet high.

Las Vegas. N. M.-George w. Russ of Kansas City. Mo, who has a herd of about 100 elk In the Ozark noun tains, declares that in many parts of the United States elk meat can be produced at less cost per pound than beef. mutton or pork. These animals afford much greater proportion Of dressed meat than cattle do.
 When 1t comes to clearing out un- derbrush they are more useful than goats. They brouse as low as the goats. and also twice as high He ad- Vises using both varieties of animals. however, and says that one elk and two goats to five acres will eliminate the brush and weeds. What Is more, brush thus cleared stays cleared.
 It Is asserted that for other reasons no better arrangement can be made than to graze q few elk with sheep and goats The elk is the natural enemy ot dogs and wolves. MT. Russ says he suffered great depredations on his focks until he put a few elk with them. Since then there has been no loss from that cause. A few elk In ten-acre pasture will absolutely protect the tioCks therein Even the dogs belonging in the place could not be induced to enter q pasture contain ing elk.
 The cost of stocking an elk pre- serve is not great. says Fur News. Young elk in perfect condition may be bought for Sl00 per head or less. A few years ago Mr. Wilson of Lewis burg, O. paid S1G5 for three head. A Michigan breeder recently offered a dozen head. all fine specimens. but age and sex not given. for $500
 This is. of course. a low price, not more than cattle would bring. and less than the venison would he worth If they could be sold in that form. The price of such stock Is determined by the supply and demand, and as long IS the present restrictions on the sa'e oi deer and elk are maintained. low Ffices are likely 10 prevail
