REMARKABLE CLOCK.

An Illinois artisan, formerly a
master clock builder and instructor,
has, after five years effort, produced
an unusual astronomical clock in
which the earth is Illuminated. by
phosphorescent rays from the sun
and moon, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. BY means of correctly
designed pinions the miniature earth
is made to reyolve 1854 times while
making one circuit of the sun and,
as it is tilted at 1919 degree angle,
the seasonal changes are plainly
shown. The moon makes the circuit
of the earth in exactly the right
time, keeping one side earthward
continuously and going through all
the phases and eclipses. A large
dial above the regulation clock dial
keeps accurate track of the seasons,
months, days and hours.

LONG ISLANDERS RUBBER.

A number of Adirondack lumber
jacks went to Long Island some
weeks ago to cut right of way
through Queens county. Most OF

''The people must have thought
we we're some sort Of freaks down
there" declared one, 'for they took
our pictures and watched as though
we were going to steal something.
When the men we're working, cut
ting timbers, there was hardly a day
passed but what some cars were out
to watch us. The folks down there
were lot more interested in us than
we were in them. Potsdam Cour-

LAND OF THE PICTURESQUE
Bermuda Has Much OF Interest to
Show TO the Visitor From Chimes
Less Favored.

On the other side Of the street are
the shops, queer, low, dark and look
ing for the most part singularly
alike. All have the open piazza in
front, two or three yards wide, sup
ported as to its roof, or ceiling, by
slender columns. From these piaz-
zas flights of stairs lead to the
dwelling houses above the shops,
which are furnished with jalousies,
or strong venetian blinds.
Donkeys, horses, negroes of every
age, size and shade, carts, crates,
sacks, barrels and boxes are mingled
in seemingly inextricable confusion,
and laughter and hilarity abound.
There goes scarlet-coated soldier,
and past him strides tall figure in
the green uniform of the Royal Irish
Rifles. Yonder dozen marines are
disembarking. Here comes a tur-
baned negress, balancing basket of
lemons on her head. She lowers it
to her arm, seemingly without an
effort, as we ask her a question,
smiling and showing teeth as white
as milk and even as rows of corn

CLEAR TRACKS WITH WATER
Railroad Authorities in State Of Wash
ington Have Better Plan Than
Using ShoveIers.

Where the Great Northern rail-
way skirts the shore of Puget sound
in the state of Washington, traffic
is sometimes interrupted by slides
from steep sand and gravel banks
which cover the tracks. Formerly
these accidents caused yexatious de-
lays while gangs of men slowly SHOW
eled off the obstruction; but the
principle Of hydraulic mining, 50
well known in the West, suggested
a more expeditions method of open
ing up the road.
A steam pump attached to heavy
hose now takes the place of the SHOW
elers when a slide is to be removed,
and the skilfully directed stream Of
water rapidly washes off the sand
and earth and leaves the track free.
OF course, care must be taken not
to undermine the roadbed, but this
difficulty seems to have been avoided.

DOES NOT MEAN STARVATION
But MaInutrition 10 Practically as Bad
in the Effects IL Has
j on the Body

Malnutrition is not starvation
Black bread and turnips fill the
stomach and quiet hunger; corr
pone and sorghum make a meal IN
the southern states of America APP
pie pie and coffee are breakfast for
a New England farmer; many a
child in the slums lives on coffee
and bread, and school children will
be satisfied with luncheon Of cake
and pickles. Malnutrition is the
slow stunting Of growth and the
lessening Of energy that result from
eating food that may be sufficient in
quantity, but is insufficient in chem
ical content.
Directly from malnutrition, too,
comes the disease that every year
kills more Americans than any other
cause, the disease that during the
years of Vienna's undertaking
fastened itself upon nearly half OF
the population-tub tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis will never get
foothold in a properly nourished
body Doctor Pirquet, Vienna's fa-
nous physician, says emphatically.
Tuberculosis always means that the

cHEsTNuTs COMING BACK.

Chestnut orchards, which have
been practically annihilated by a
blight Of Japanese origin, may be
restored through efforts of the fed
eral Department Of Agriculture.
Ten years Of experimentation has
shown that it is possible to cross the
chinquapin, a dwarf chestnut, with
the Japanese chestnut, which is
blight resistant, and that the hybrid
trees thus produced are quite resist
ant to the disease and yield nuts of
good flavor and quality.

NEW AMERICAN INDUSTRY.

Establishment of new eastern
factory with $4,000 square feet of
floor space, for the manufacture of
artificial pearls from fsh-scale es-
sence, marks the beginning of new
American industry, formerly de-
pendent on imports from France,
Germany and Italy. The common
herring is the base Of supply for the
iridescent material used, and remoy-
ing it is an arduous task, because
each scale, taken only from certain
parts of the fish, yields but tiny
speck of luster.-Popular Mechan-

PLAYeoERs ASSESSED.

The state opera and the state
theater in Vienna, formerly subsi-
died by the crown and now by the
republic, show a deficit of about
26,0O0,Oo0 crowns for the year. AS
a result prices are to be increased
heavily. In the old days the best
seats were 2 crowns, while now they
are rs. Boxes formerly cost 80
crowns, as against minimum of
500 now. Gallery seats have risen
correspondingly, and now sell at IS

SLAVES "soLD' BY BEEcHER
Would Be Interesting 30 Know What
Became OF Women Great
Preacher Auctioned.

The partial destruction of old
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, recalls
the "slave SALE" conducted in the
place of worship by Henry Ward
Beecher to arouse his congregation,
which included auditors from all
parts of the country, to the facts
of the traffic then sanctioned and
protected by the nation.
Two young slave women, fugitiyes
from their owner, were sheltered I'M
der Mr.. Beecher's protection, he
agreeing to pay their master for
them if they were not restored. He
auctioned them off in his church,
his auditors under the stimulation
of his eloquence contributing gladly
to buy their freedom, which they
duly obtained.
There, as far as these slaves are
concerned, the tale ends. 1t would
be interesting to know what became
of the women Beecher sold; how
long they continued to excite popu-
lar sympathy and what their after
lives we're. Did they marry and
bear children? Are descendants
alive now3 Perhaps the grandson
of one Of Beeecher's slaves fought
in France alongside the grandson
of his progenitor's owner.-N New

49, GROWING sentiment.

The National Convention Of Real
Estate Boards, Irving B. Hiett, Pres,
sees the danger OF increasing the
amount of tax exempt bonds and
adopted resolutions against the
practice.
Pres. Hiett in commenting on the
subject says:
1--WE advocate the adoption of an
amendment to the constitution oil
the United States which in effect
will give the government power to
collect taxes on future incomes de-
rived from obligations issued OF
created by state or any political
subdivision thereof"
so much capital is going into tax
exempt securities that it is becoming
more and more difficult to get
money to finance real estate trans
actions. There are now in circu-
lation forty-four billion Of dollars
either totally or partially exempt
from income tax, and bonds are
being issued at the rate of one bill
ion dollars per year. These bonds
are being purchased by investors,
thus enabling them to escape their
share of the cost of government,
altho these very people are the best
able to contribute"

Railroads Do Not Ask Gifts.

William Sroule, president South
ern Pacific Co., says in part before
the American Bankers Convention in
Los Angeles:
Il believe public opinion will do
more than either railroad men or
bankers can do to bring about that
improvement in conditions which is
the need of the time. The public
needs to understand banking better
than it does. The people need to
understand railroads better than
they do and we need help of bankers
to put the case of railroads before
the people as something important
to every financitl institution.
The public should understand
that railroad refunding bill now be-
fore Congress should pass, but force
of public opinion behind it is needed
to have it passed. The public has a
notion that it is some kind of a gift
to the railroads, gift of $500, 00O,-
600 instead of which there is no git
about it,
THE railroads are simply asking
that debts be funded as any other
public debt would be, so that pay
ment TO debts may be extended over
a period of time on an interest basis.
Business cannot move till the
way has been cleared for it. There
is nothing wrong with the nation as
a basic question. Let us get rid of
confusion and wastes

BOttle Messages.

The romance of messages tossed
into the ocean after being sealed in
bottles is old and yet ever new. The
disappearance of vessels off Cape
Hatteras this year led to an attempt
ed hoax, which was promptly dis
covered. The evidence of bottle
messages has often been accepted
by courts.
The ''Nomia" sailed from New
castle, New South Wales, in July
1912, and was never heard of again.
Long afterwards, scrap of paper
torn from a log book was washed ur
on the New Zealand coast. It bore
= scrawled MESSAGE "Nomia is
sinking fast by hurricane in AZ S
$50 p. Colt save us" The German
consul at Auckland was able to
establish the fact that the handwrit-
ting was that of the captain of the
Inflated vessel.
Bottles have been known to come
TO land even fifteen years after they
had been cast into the ocean.
