IN SHAPE OF LOCOMOTIVE
Remarkable Clock That Has Been Con.
structed by Ingenious Kansas Me-
chanic-Eight.Day Type.

Quite a curious clock has been con-
structed by a Kansas mechanic in
the form Of miniature locomotive.
The dial, which is made of imitation
ebony, Is fixed on one side of the
highly ornate cab of the engine and
is studded with small ruby and green
colored incandescent lamps.
The interior of the cab is supplied
with several other tiny globes, while
the headlight, which Is fitted with
both a reflector and lens. also mounts
lamp. switch controlled by
the clock automatically turns the
current on at six o'clock in the eve
ming and cuts 1t OF ~ hours later.
The headlight, the lamps in the cab,
and those on the face of the clock
are wired in separate circuits.
Each of these groups is flashed in
dependently of the others at inter-
walls of about Is seconds and remains
lighted for period of approximately
three seconds. The clock is of stand
ard make and of the eight-day type.
1t strikes on the hour and half hour
by ringing the engine bell and while
doing this turns the driving wheels of
the locomotive, which do not touch
the tiny rock-ballasted track on which
,, they apparently rest. A manual switch
at the rear of the cab provides an aux.

the old trust deed and seized the prop
erty.
On the bleak Dakota prairie, half
way between the two towns, Mr.. Bliss
owned small farm. This was not in
cluded in the mortgage, and was in
herited by Norman, free of incum-
brance. 1t was solitary, desolate
spot, but his only possession. With
manly spirit and a hopeful heart, he
took up his abode in the little one
story house, and started in to get a
profit out of the land.
1t proved to be a phenomenal sea-
son for wheat, and he was proud and
joyful when he had disposed of the
crop and figured up. his gains. That
winter Viola was again at Plainfield,
visiting her relatives. Norman brought
his only live stock, his sturdy farm
team, to Plainfield, stabbed it at
livery and remained a month in the
town.
During those blissful four weeks he
was almost a constant companion Of
Viola. Not a word of love passed be-
tween them, but he had every reason
to believe that Viola took something
more than a friendly interest in him
self and his fortunes. When he had
hidden her good-by, her brother invited
him to their house in Riverdale in the
early spring, and there was positive
| echo of the invitation in the express
sive eyes of his pretty sister.
So, all through the rest of the win
ter, Norman lived on the encourage
ment all this presaged. He hired a
man to run the farm early in May, and
went to Riverdale, as said, with a
happy, hopeful heart.
| Young Tascott acted like a true
friend, and Viola welcomed him with
apparent pleasure. Norman secured
a room at the village hotel. Every
afternoon there was tennis, or a pic.
mic or some society function at the
Tascott home, where Norman was re-
ceived as an honored guest. Viola
had her girl cousins visiting her and
they were sociable, jolly group.
Then that unfortunate afternoon
Norman was passing the open win
dow of a room in which Viola and
some of her friends were gathered
He heard his name spoken before he
reached the window. He heard, as hs
passed it, those fateful words:
Il would not marry that countr,

Norman Bliss had come to River

left it gloomy, disappointed and dis
couraged. Ringing in his ears were
words it seemed he never would for

And Viola Tascott had spoken that

Viola. whom he had come to Riverdale
tc see, to WOO, to wed, II she would
but say the word.
And now, driving his farm team
back to his lonely. lowly prairie home,
the brave stalwart young fellow
f1inched as he thought over the vivid
heart history of the past week.
He had lived in Plainfield, fifty miles
across country from Riverdale, where
his father died. At the former town
Viola had come to visit cousin, and
he had met her. They were quite COM
panionable, when old Mr.. Bliss died
suddenly. The family home and some
other property had been owned by
Mr.. Bliss and. of course, Norman
would inherit it. When the estate
came to be settled sup, however, one

property had all been paid up. The

The War News.

The mnst interesting news from
the war zone comes this week from
the Russian front They captured
Erzerun, one of the strongest foiti
fled positions of the Turks. This
is one of the most important vic
tories Of the war, and is likely to
force change of the plans of the
German Allies, if not being the in
direct cause of peace At least it
will doubtless save any attack by
Germany on tn. Suez Canal, and
relieve the strain upon the English
and French army near Bagdad
While the activity in the fight
ing has not been so marked, yet
the activity in diplomatic circles
has been very active and Of the
greatest Importance. No sooner
had Germany and Austria consid-
cred the Lusitania matter settled
with our government than they de
clared their intention to sink armed
liners, though they carried but one
gun. This decision on the part
of Germany caused halt in thu
settlement, and now the diplomat
ic relations are more strained than
at any time since the war began
No one knows what a day may
bring forth.
