MUST KEEP CLOCKS LEVEL
London Timepiece Maker Explains
Cause Of Their Failure to Stay
In Order.

London.-The reason why mantel-
piece clocks SO often get out OF order
is so obvious that it is strange that
attention to it has not been drawn be-
fore. A London clockmaker said:
1T is because mantelpieces are
rarely level. If a clock meant for a
mantelpiece is not placed in an exact
~ horizontal position it is sure to go
wrong When the clock gains or loses
because of it's slanting position, PEG,
pie regularly move the hands forward
or backward, as the case may be, In
order to adjust 1t. Eventually the
clocks hands are moved about SO much
that the mechanism gets out of order
and the clock refuses even to tick.
Watches and travelling clocks are
constructed differently from the sta
tionary clock. and they will go In any
position. That is why they are relied
upon more than the ornamental man
telpiece clock"

ly for his home near Lenora, Kan, he
was happy in the possession Of a
painted canvas on which beamed the

blance to his parent.

old. died last August, he was distress
ed by the fact that a dim old photo

his own features to hers. he consult
ed a local artist to learn whether a
lifelike picture Of his mother could be
made from the photograph and him

could be made for $3.50. He labored
on a farm seven months and saved
the required amount. 1T is an exact

ASYLUM INMATE A MYSTERY
Patients Mind a Blank Except That
He Served in Navy and U. S. is
Asked to Investigate.

Rochester, Minn.-Of1cials Of the
state hospital for the insane here
have interested the avy department
at Washington in an endeavor to as
certain the identity of an unknown
man who has been a patient IN the in
stitution for five years. The man,
unconscious and nearly dead, was
picked up In June, 1907. on the rail
road tracks near Waseca, and in the
following April was committed to the
asylum. He has never been able to
talk, and mo remember any OF his
family history, but can recall his life
in the United States navy.
From gestures and signs that he
makes with his left hand. his right
side being paralyzed, he has indicated
that he was an officer in the navy. BY
laboriously writing the initials u. &.
r." it is believed that those are the
initials of his name. but he Is unable
to give any idea of what the letters
stand for. He has also made it plain
20 the asylum officials that he entered
@he United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis when a boy and served in
the navy for many years.
Also that he had been commission
ed to carry certain documents from
Washington to San Francisco, n
that it was while on his return trip.
and after leaving Minneapolis, that
he was either thrown or fell from the
train near Waseca. His continued dec.
laration that he has been in the navy
has led Dir. A. +. killbourn of the state
hospital to take up the matter with
the navy department at Washington
n the hope of establishing his iden-
fity. Every description possible, DR.
Killbourn says, including finger prints,
las been sent to the department.
