Clock Made Wholly of
Glass Except Springs

A Bohemian glass polisher has per-
formed a wonderful feat in the glass
industry. He constructed clock.
which, with the exception of the
springs, Is made entirely Of glass.
The glass plates and pillars of this
extraordinary timepiece are bolted to-
gether with glass screws. The dial
plate hands. shafts and cog wheels
are all glass, and glass wedges and
pins are used for fastening the varl-
Gus parts of the running gear.
All parts are ground to the average
proportions of the metal parts of other
clocks of the same size. The teeth Of
the cog wheels are cut with minute
exactness, only the balance wheel be-
ing heavier and thicker than 1t is in
an ordinary clock. The key with
which the clock Is wound /" also Of
glass. Many of the parts had to be
made over and over again before a
clock that would go and keep time
was produced.-The Pathfinder.

Prison Built by Conflicts

The work Of convicts and other prls-
oners Is not allowed to compete with
the work Of honest men, but prisoners
may surely be allowed to build their
own place Of Incarceration.
That was what actually happened In
the case of Wormwod Scrubs prison,
says the London Tit-Bits. Before a
stone or brick was laid, however, the
plans had to be drawn, and this task
was entrusted to convict.
This done, the building was erected
entirely by convict labor, and, as IT
contains 1881 cells, built at an aver
age cost of f70 7 shillings each, both
the task and the cost were no small
matters.
The total plumber of bricks used
was 35,O00,000, weighing 10000 tons
and every brick was made by conyicts
The total cost of the building was
$4,000.

Indian Tribe Believed
Men Changed to Brutes

The Santa Barbara Channel In
dians, before the influences of white
civilization came among them, be-
lieved just the opposite of the modern
theory of evolution, according to ]. p.
Harrington of the Museum of the
American Indian, says the Santa Bar
bara (Cal.) correspondent of the New
York Post.
These Indians, said Harrington,
thought that all the animals once had
been people and had attained their
various forms by slow process Of
evolution. There had been time, &C
cording to the lore, when people were
the only form of life. Gradually the
first people" came to resemble GER
tain animals, into which they event
ually turned.
The ancestor Of the owl was said to
have been an ordinary-looking Indian,
but rather fat and hairy and with a
habit Of inserting the syllables "muhu"
between his words. The bullsnake
had been an excessively thin Indian,
with shlfty eyes, fleet runner. The
coyote, the most popular animal, was
declared still to resemble an Indian
man. though 1t was admitted, his
hands had become paws, his nose pro-
jected rather far, his lips were black
and he had grown tail.
The medicine men used to say the
COYOTE still had human speech, though
he uttered little yelps between his
words. This creature was credited
with magic mowers

"Pon" Not Important

In many courtships proposals are never

couples to satisfy my own curiosity

DEER OF HIGH
 RANK |NENGLAND
Book Kept to Show Aristocoati2
 Herds There

London, Dec. 11.-Family history and family trees are by no means keonfned to the English aristocracy; there are several herds of deer in Great Britain whose records go back more than 400 years. The 1924 register of the Deer Herd Book Society of Great Britain, the social register of the animals, just pub lished, gives a complete list of the ages and distinguishing marks of the herds.
 The herd at Deen Park, Peter borough, which went into residence there more than 400 years ago, is the topnotch in the unmixed blue blood of English herds. Among other deer ranking above the pro letariat is the 300-year-old herd of Lord Clifford, which has not mixed with other blood since 1872, and the herd of Lord Gotham, which has maintained its exclusiveness s'ace 11S5.
 Sir Robert Harvey of Langley Park. owns herd of mixed deer which have been bred there since Queen Elizabeth used the park as a royal hunting ground. A thirteenth century mixed herd is owned by Lord Hastings, and the Dukes of Norfolk have maintained a herd on their estates in Norfolk for about FOO years.
 Although there are about 14o pri- vately owned herds in Great Britain, including three belonging to King George, but which do not rank with their royal master in the mat ter of pedigree. On some of the large estates of the Midlands as
 many us 400 deer are kept.

Conference Called

The situation resulting from the successful efforts of proponents of the vetoed postal employees pay bill in bringing the measure yesterday before the senate led President Coolidge today to call 10 the White House half a dozen republican senaA tors for discussion of means of de- laying consideration of the measure until revenue producing legislation can be considered.
 Senators with whom the president conferred included Cummins, Iowa; Spencer, Missouri; Gooding, Idaho; Stanfield, Oregon; and Mccormick and Mckinley, Illinois.
 The president conferred last night on the same subject with Senator Cnrtis of Kansas, the republican leader; Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, and Chairman Sterling of the senate post office committee.
 Coolidge Gives Reasons
 Mir. Coolidge indicated that he opposed enactment of the bill not only because he regards 1t as a fharmful practice to leave to the future the question of providing for present authorized expenditures.
 Some of the administration lead CTS. among them Chairman Sterling, believe a sufficient number of votes could bo mustered to prevent pass age of the bill. They think that sooner or later this issue will be forced in the senate.
 Meantime, however they are con- tinuing their efforts to have the postal rate measure prepared by the post office department referred to the post office committee, with a 1 view to its consideration with pay increase legislation.
 Senator Sterling said today he 1 had not yet examined closely the ar guments put forward by the publish CTS in opposition to the $10, 100000 increase proposed in postal rates on second class mail. He said. how ever, that the loss on this class was nearly s75.000,000, and that he con- cured therefore In the view of Postmaster General New that the proposed raise was modest one.
