Profitable Pebbles.

The flint pebble industry gives &C.
cupation to many women and children
along the French coast lying between
Havre and Dieppe. The pebbles col
lected In and near Havre are selected
for their spherical shape and are used
exclusively for pulverizing In certain
industries, particularly in the manu-
facture Of cement and In copper mines,
being employed In the interior of large
cylinders. In the cement industry the
slow turning Of the pebbles produces
q powder which becomes an ingredient
Of the cement, while in the copper in
dustry the metal is freed Of all impuri-
ties by the grinding operation The
same kind Of pebbles Is used for crush
ing purposes In the manufacture of

pebbles is In the manufacture Of porce-

An Invisible Clock,

A public clock which can be heard,
but not seen, is one of London's Gu
r1ous possessions. 1t is in the tower
OF St Mary Abbot's church, Kensing-
ton, and Is the only public clock In
the immediate neighborhood. 1t chimes
the quarters and the hours, but COM
mits itself no further. 1t has no dial,
no hands, no outward and visible sign
OF any kind to show that 1t is a clock
This eccentricity, 1t Is explained, is
the result Of two causes-one aesthet-
fc, the other financial. When the tow
er was built In 1879 a clock was sug-
gested as an afterthought, but the
architect protested that 1t would mean
the addition Of fifteen feet to the tow
er and the ruin of its cherished proper
tons. A second point was that the
church, having but slender funds,
could not afford q clock with a dial A
compromise was arrived at by INSTALL
ing the works Of Ginning clock In the
belfry without dial or hands.-Pear-

lnvasions of Russia.

The first great invasion Of Russia
was that Of the Huns, a race of fierce
and warlike Asiatics, who swept over
eastern Europe In the fourth century.
In the thirteenth century the golden
horde Of Tartars captured Russia, and
from 1928 to 1862 the country was un-
DER the yoke Of the Mongols. In 1895
Tamerlane invaded Russia, but retired.
In 1852 the Slavs again gained the as
tendency, and Ivan III. (the Great
founded the present monarchy and
introduced firearms and cannon into
Russia.
In 1479 there was another great In
vasion Of Tartars, but they were driv-
en- out. In 1913 the present royal fam
LILY, the Romanoffs, gained the throne.
In 100 the Swedes invaded Russia,
but after several victories they were
routed.
The last great invasion Of Russia
was that Of Napoleon. His disastrous
retreat from Russia, IN which most of
bis army was destroyed, marked the

A HFrjday" Shin,

A true story is told Of a +skeptical
Massachusetts, captain who way back
in the early years Of the republic de-
termined to exhibit the fallacy Of the
Friday superstition. He contracted on
a certain Friday for the building of
a ship, and it was arranged that the
keel Of this vessel was laid on Friday,
that she was launched on a Friday,
named Friday, commenced loading on
a Friday and hauled into the stream
on the same day of the week. To add
to the possibilities Of disaster, a negro
cook named Friday was engaged, and,
thus fully freighted with the sinister
name, the Friday sailed on a Friday,
bound to a port in the West Indies.
From that day to this no tidings Of
the I'LL fated craft have been received.

SITTING on a Tack,

A thing Is tragic or humorous ac-
cording to the point of view. The
man who sits on a tack does not share
the onlookers' amusement. In fact, he
is not only panied at his own misfor-
tune, but he is panied because he &C.
casioned some one else to find a de-
gree OF pleasure in his unseemly plight.
Now, 1t is perfectly safe to make this
positive statement In this connection
the person who witnessed the others
unfortunate encounter with the tack
never deliberately sits on the same
tack himself. Indeed, he Is particu-
larry cautious about sitting down any
where soon thereafter without looking
for q tack.
Nor Is this an indictment Of tacks.
Tacks serve a very real and useful
purpose In this world, but they have
their place, which is not In localities
where they may be sat upon.-William
