Of London amply warrants description

William the Conqueror gave Lon
don charter, but built the White
tower to show the people how little
that charter might mean. Like the

centuries, and not one, but many tow

Fraudulent Old Clocks.

The brass lantern clocks Of the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries have
made a strong appeal to collectors,
and this fact has led tosthe manufac-
ture of replicas of the old clocks,
When these are sold frankly as rep
lieas. there is nothing to be said
against such practice. but. unfor-
tunately, the matter does not stop here
and too often the attempt Is made to
palm Off an imitation as genuine
old clock. Famous makers names are
added and various expedlents adopted
to make the new clock pass muster as
an old one. Such frauds are deplora-
BILE from every point Of view, and the
ignorance of many collectors makes
success possible. Every one, II is OBJ
vious. cannot possess genuine old
clock. 1t would be well II this fact
were faced, and the clocks bought
simply as reproductions, by all those
who are not In a position to make
reasonably sure that they are really
purchasing genuine old English
clock.--Chrlstla Science Monitor.

Quackery Sometimes Effective.

Faith and foolishness will cure any

ground for the assertion.

during one Of his campaigns, cured
those Of his soldiers who were dying
Of the scurvy by a piece Of quackery.s
With his doctors. who were in the
secret, he said he had procured med
icine--really decoction Of canomile.
