EASY WAY TO CLEAN CLOCK
Small Piece Of Kerosene Soaked Wool
Placed in Case viii Gather
Dust Particles.

When a clock stops 1t is a mistake
to suppose that 1t must at once be TAX
en- to the workshop for repairs. In
most cases clocks cease running be-
cause of the accumulation of dust par
ticles which clogs the bearings. 1t is
not even needful to take the clock to
pieces to clean 1t If a simple plan is
followed which will be found to work
very well. Soak piece Of cotton wool
In kerosene and place this In small
saucer, canister lid, or anything sim
liar. Then put this in the case Of the
clock under the works. Close up, and
at the end of "a hours, examine the
cotton wool. 1t will be found to be
covered with black specks; these are
the dust particles brought down by the
fumes of the kerosene. Wind the clock
up and Il will start away again. Where
the works of the clock are in an in
closed case a few drops Of kerosene
should be poured through the small
hole which is present in the metal COW
ering. Turn the clock about while so
that the kerosene is distributed and
after an interval 1t Is extremely likely
that the works will commence their
normal operations Notwithstanding

SEA IDOL OF BRITAIN DIES
Lord Fisher, "Father Of Dreadnought"
and Great Naval Comman-
der, Dies.

London.-Admira Arbuthnot Fisher.
first baron OF Kilverstone and former
first lord OF the admiralty, is dead.
Lord Fisher underwent serious op-
Grafton and failed to come out from
the effects.
Lord Fisher began his naval career
in 1854, and while on active duty he
took part in the Crimean, Chinese and
Egyptian wars. He became lord Of
the admiralty in 1892 and first sea
lord of the admiralty in 1904, which
post he held for six years.
He emerged from retirement in Oc-
tober, 1914, to resume his post as first
sea lord of the. admiralty and direct
the naval warfare against Germany.
His vigorous policy caused him to be
termed 1.-THE Kitchener Of the British
navy" and chief credit has been
claimed for him in the bottling up of
the German navy. The cabinet dis
putes led to his resignation in May,
1915, but he continued to- serve the
British government in various capaci-
ties throughout the war and was a
prominent naval critic.

TOWN DIED CENTURIES AGO
se0ovla, In Spain, Has signs Of Life
Only Part Of One Day Of
Each Week. -;
segovla is a dead city Of Spain.

Segovia is dead city Of Spain.
There are dead towns in this coun-
try which both lived and died within
half century, and few that are much
more than century old. But SegOvia
died centuries ago, and 1t is as old as
civilization In Europe.
The Romans built SegOvia. It
stands on rocky ridge between two
swift rivers-a compact little city of
narrow streets and old stone houses
crowded together. A mighty aqueduct,
which was built by the Romans. still
brings the city its water supply from
the Guadarrama mountains. SegOvia,
high and narrow on its ridge, lies like
a great ship in the plain, mOored by
its aqueduct to the distant mountains.
Segovia Is a city Of deserted
churches. Long ago 1t lay in a sort
Of contested land between the region
held by the MoOrs and that held by
the Christians. Sometimes one held 1t
and sometimes the ether. Both built
churches there. Now Segovia has lost
30 much Of its population that most
Of these churches stand empty, despite
the fact that Spain is a pious land.
Some Of them have been locked for
centuries, and only the bats know the
secrets Of their dark interiors, where
neither sound nor sunlight has been
for SO long. Others have attendants
who will open their doors to the Gu
riOus.
Once week Segovia awakens. Peas
ants come to the city from all the sur
rounding country. They are prlmi-
tive people who look like figures from
the middle ages. There is laughter
and color in the streets then. Bells
ring and a few of the churches open
their doors to worshipers. But by
sunset all Of the peasants are gone
and Segovia goes to sleep for another
week.

craan Castle, Pa.-Warning against

Mr.. Fletcher's letter resulted from

the State Department and DR.. Iglesias

that before any recognition was ex-
tended an informal agreement be
made with the Mexican authorities
that American citizens would not be
deprived Of their property rights
without compensation and that such
property as they were deprived OF dur
ing the Carranza regime without COM
pensation would be returned to them.
Mr.. Fletcher was the American am
bassador to Mexico during the Car
rama government, but resigned
several months ago because of dis
agreement with the American gov
ernment's policy toward Mexico.

CUTTING THIRD SET OF TEETH
Memphis tTenn.) Man, at "a, is Also
Renewing His Youth and Vlsor
In Other Ways.

The adage that there is nothing new
under the sun has been disproved by
N. d. Starr, who has cut a third set
or teeth at the age Of eighty-fOur,
when usually the only new molars,
bicusplds, ETC., that can be achieved
are those purchased from a dentist,
says the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Mr.. Starr. who Is In the employ of
the Memphis Artesian Water company,
recently found himself in need of set
Of these artificial substitutes for the
teeth provided by nature. But when
he visited his dentist the price was too
high and he decided to 60 toothless.
However. through one Of the unac-
cOuntable happenings which some
times upsets all rules, Mr.. Starr dis
covered that he was cutting IL new
teeth. They are almost through now,
although they are not very useful yet,
owing to the fact that his gums are
sore in a fashion familiar to all moth
ers of teethlng infants or to boys and
girls whose second teeth are replacing
their baby teeth. and even the older
boys and girls who proudly announce:
I'm cutting wisdom TOOTH"
Dentists doubtless will contend
that such a thing cannot happen. But
Mr.. Starr knows that he now has teeth
where no teeth were before. More
over, he says his eyeslght is better
than 1t was several years ago, and
that so far from his vlgor being Inn
paired by advancing years he feels
stronger and more youthful than he
did when he was seventy.
