of each stroke to maintain it in oscillation.
A clock of this type said to be the original
model is now on exhibition in the Victoria
and Albert Museum in England.
Most of the development in pendulum
clocks since the time of Calico has been
concerned chiefly with improvement in the
escapemcnt and impulse mechanisms and
in the compensation for the various slight
errors due to changes of length of stroke,
temperature, barometric pressure and hu-
;nidity.
These refnements have made the mod
ern astronomical clock one of the wonders
of the world.
A completely compensated clock in
stalled in the Swiss Observatory at Neu-
chatel has been very carefully rated for
period of FIVE years, and during that time
its maximum deviation from absolute ac-
curacy has been .O33 seconds. 1t is of
course calibrated and adjusted every night,
the regulation in this case being obtained
by means of variation of barometric
pressure inside the clock case.
1t is interesting to find that the develon-
ment and perfection of this wonderful in
strument, the observatory clock, is not

due to any one genius, but is combina-
tion of the ideas of hundreds of inventors,
designers and scientists over period of
about ten centuries.
But pendulum clock is not portable
and cannot be carried in the pocket. One
of the early ancestors of the modern watch
was built by blacksmith of Neurenburg
about 1900 and was known as the "Neu
renburg Egg" 1t was constructed entirely
of iron, was about the size of large goose
egg and weighed about four pounds 1t
had spring for the power source, gear
train to transmit the power, an escapement
to regulate the rate of unwinding of the
spring and hands and dial to indicate the
time of day. 1t was not good time
keeper but it contained all the fundamen-
tails of the modern watch. The verge was
the only escapement available at the time
and had to be used in spite of its crudity.
But during the middle ages extreme ac-
curacy in a pocket tinepiece was not of
very great importance. There were no
trains to be caught; so the watch became
an ornamental jewel, the insignia of the
aristocrat.
The improvement in accuracy was
largely due to the needs of navigation.
Time of day was essential in getting
dead reckoning" and a pendulum clock
could not be used on rolling vessel. So

WHERE BUTTER is PRECIOUS
AS GOLD

Milking is one of the chief duties of the
1ibetan woman. Yet in a land where
cows and yaks abound, there is no fresh
milk. Tibetans say that they drink but
termilk because sweet milk impedes the
breathing, \but only by churning all the
milk can they be sure of having enough
butter. They burn butter in their lamps;
they color it and mold it into patterns
upon the cakes that adorn their altars.
They eat it and wear it, Soldiers rations
include sleeps badders of butter; travel
ers carry them on journey; housewives
keep them hanging in the kitchen-for
years, if possible, for they prize rancid
butter as Westerners do ripe cheese and
old wine. In the winter, both men and
women smear themselves with butter
until they shine and reek with it. They
feed themselves with buttered tea-a soup
made of boiled tea, strained through a
sieve and then churned with butter and
thickened with 'tsamba." Europeans
loathe this concoction and hospitable
Tibetans tax the politeness of shivering,
unbuttered guests, by adding an extra
lump of long-aged butter as a special
compliment From an the Domain of the

INLAND NAVIGATION
By Mr.. l.. B.

One of the most interesting and impor-
tant subjects that is kept before the public
eye by the newspapers of the country, at
this time, is the agitation for the develop
ment of our rivers and the building of
deep canals to permit the navigation of
these rivers and the great lakes by ocean
steamships, especially the development of
Great Lakes, St. Lawrence project in
which case, the ocean liners and freighters
could dock at Duluth and therefore bring
the deep water shipping to the great agri-
cultural district of America.
The statistics given publicity show cost
of transportation and freight rates in COM
parison with the present water and rail
rates, also the horsepower that can be de-
veloped for commercial use by installing
electric power plants at the heads of the
canals.
The subject is one of the utmost of i'm
portance to the country at large, in that it
will provide cheaper transportation for
raw materials and finished products that
enter and leave the great middle west, in
cluding iron, coal, lumber, agricultural
and manufactured products.
Minnesota is in position to greatly beni-
fit by the development of the deep water
way project, not only will it make
Duluth the shipping head of the great
lakes but also will encourage new factories
to be built in the state, for as soon as the
prospective manufacturer learns that he
can secure as cheap transportation as the
manufacturer on the Atlantic seaboard
and he realizes the wonderful advantages
to be enjoyed by locating in the "North
Star" state, he will not hesitate moment
in locating here as his products can be
distributed to all parts of the world by
water, south by the Mississippi river, east
by the Great lakes and St. Lawrence river
to all countries.
The deepening and improving of our
rivers are also receiving their share of
public attention. May the good work go
on. In case the world is satisfied with
their present navies, why not take the
money that would have been invested in
warships and put it into the improvement
of navigable streams and development of
our water powers? Money so expended
will repay for itself many times over in
the good done for the people not only of
America but the entire world. By reduc-
ing cost of manufacture by cheaper power
and by cheaper transportation, American
goods, which are superior to any made
in the world, can be sold to compete with
those of an inferior quality.
So let everybody boost for the improve
ment and development of inland naviga-
ton, and those that live in Minnesota,
speak a word for the North Star" state.
