the day OF the week and date and,
finally, the only clock of it's class ever
built in a retail jewelry store. The
accompanying illustration from the
Technical World shows this remark
able clock as it stands.
This timepiece is 81 feet high above
the sidewalk, upheld by an orna-
mental iron column and surmOunted
by an eagle. It's 16 dials tell the
time in the following cities: New
York, London and Liverpool, Paris,
Berlin, St. Petersburg, Calcutta,
Tokyo, Hongkong, Melbourne, City OF
Mexico, Milan, Cape Town and San
Diego. The time of foreign towns is
indicated in a circle Of small dials
surrounding the central dial, which
records the local time. The clock is
operated by a 2O0-pound weight, and
1t winds automatically. 1t is equipped
with chimes and Illuminated by night

$4,000 and Is months of hard work on
the part of Mr.. j. Jessop, the inventor

hear much of their enemies,
who are, nevertheless, of the same
general stock, and equally determined
when aroused. Ten OF these men l
have quietly called to meet at my
farm out here a few miles from town,
on Thursday night. They come from
different points over the country. and
we'll have a small but grim posse that
will be ready for business. You may
not know it, but the Appleweights are
most religious. Appleweight himself
boasts that he lever misses church on
Sunday. He goes also to the mid
week service on Thursday night, SO
I have learned, and thereby hangs our
opportunity. Mount Nebo church lies
of here toward the north. It's a lone
itual center and rendezvous for a wide
area. If Appleweight can be taken
at all, that's the place. and I'm willing
to make the trial. Whether to STAN
pede the church and make a fight, or
seize him alone as he approaches the
place. is a question for discussion
with the boys I have engaged to go
into the game. How does it strike
you?"
First rate. Ten good men ought
to be enough; but if 1t comes down to
numbers, the state militia can be
brought into use. The South Carolina
National Guard is in camp, and we
can have a regiment quick enough, il

PRINcEToN's HEAD RESIGNS

Genuine regret is felt in education
al circles because Of the resignation
of Dr.. Henry Van Dyke as Murray pro-
lessor of English literature in Prince
ton university. He had been at Prince
ton since 1900 and his historical lsc-
lures were the most popular at this
renowned seat OF learning.
DR.. Van Dyke is one Of the foremost
educators in the country and is a dis
tinguished author. He was born in
Germantown, Pa. In 1852 and gradu-
ated from Princeton In 1873 and later
from the University Of Berlin. In 1878
he was pastor of the United Consre-
gational church of Newport, r. l., and
from 1883 to 1900 and again In 1902
OF the Brick Presbyterian church,
New York. Latterly he had been
minister In charge OF the Brick
church. but has severed that relation
ship. He has also been a lecturer 1t
Yale and Harvard.
DR.. Van Dyke has written many
works, among them "The Reality Of
1.-THE Christ Child In Art" THE Cos
ers' and OTTER poems. It Is probable
at Princeton he win devote himself

THE grand jury wanted to make a

sheriff that no warrant could be

Sir Thomas Vezey Strong, the new
lord mayor of London. is the first in
the long history Of the Office to be a
teetotaler. He has drunk nothing
stronger than water all his life, and
doesn't intend to.
Two great events will mark the
reign Of Sir VeZey at the Mansion
house. The first, of course, Is King
Georges coronation, at which he will
not have to officiate in any way, but
he will receive a baronetcy as a nice
little memento. The second is the
five hundredth anniversary Of the Sta
toners guild, and in this he will take
a prominent part. He is a past mas
ter of the guild, and his year of Office
synchronizes happily with it's quin.
centenary. In commemoration of thie
Sir Vezey has suggested the building
Of an art gallery really worthy of the
city of London.

its new lord mayor for two schemes
