A MISER'S ISUESl'ITT.
BUILDrKO A WONDERFUL CLOCK WITH
POOR TOOLS IN TOE DEPTH OF
A COAL MIXE.
A letter from Scranton, Pa., says: A
mechanical marvel, the product of nine
years' patient toil on the part of an un
lettered miner, who made it in his spare
hoars in the Hallenback Colliery at
Wilkesbarre, 2,0u0 feet below the sur
face of the earth, has just been com
pleted in the shape of a clock, by James
McGlynn. It is built on the plan of the
"astrenomical clock:' recently exhibited
in this country, but is much more com
plicated in most of its parts, and derives
an added interest from the manner of
its construction. Nine years ago Mc
Glynn, having had much spare time on
his hand3, thought he could turn it to
agreeable account by devoting himself
to wood carving. He had no tools, and
to the construction of these he first de
voted his attention, Tie built an engine
to propel a lathe, and from such scraps
of old materials as he found lying round
loose about the colliery, put his lathe to
gether, and commenced fashioning bits
of wood into whatever shape his fancy
suggested. Then he conceived the idea
of making a clock upon an elaborate
scale, and went to work with the devo
tion of an enthusiast, until at the end
of nearly a decade he has produced a
piece, of mechanism that is certainly
wonderful to contemplate, considering
the conditions under which it was made.
The clock stands about nine feet high,
and is incased in nn elaborately carved
case of black walnut, consisting of 40G
pieces of perfect finish. Each of these
pieces was turned in the mine by the
enthusiastic miner with a tool that
would make a cabinet-maker smile, be
ing nothing less than a broken saw-file.
But the workmanship fis perfect, and
the symmetry of the several parts would
do credit to the best wood carver in the
country. "How did I make my measur
ments ?" said McGlynn. in reply to the
inquiry of the Time's correspondent,
"with a string. Oh, I never run short
of materials. If one thing doesn't do I
take another. I have built a miniature
engine in the Hallenback Mine, owned
by Mr. Parrish, weighing only fifteen
and one-half ounces, and they say it is
perfect. I used a quarter-dollar for a
circular crank." Tt really seems in
credible that with such tools as he ex
hibits, and in such dreary surroundings
as the depths of the mine afford, any
thing like the clock could be construct
ed, but there are plenty of witnesses
among McGlynn's fellow-workmen to
corroborate his story, and there is the
the clock itself. At first he experienced
some difficulty in the matter of holding
his lamp. It did not show as good lijrht
anywhere as when carried in his hat the
way miners usually carry their lamps in
the mine, but the flame burned the
front of his hat away and made it rath
er uncomfortable. Then he made a tin
helmet, with a place to hold the lamp
securely, and after that he had no trou
ble with his light. In addition to the
400 turned pieces in black walnut which
comprises the framework of the clock,
it has dii moving figu-es, actuated by
machinery, so deftly arranged as to
produce interesting historical and bibli
cal scenes. It is the intention of the
miner-mechanic to make the number of
nui-ps a hundrnd as soon as his means,
which are rather limited, shall afford
such an additional outlay.
The front of the clock shows three
balconies, rising above a massive and
elegantly carved pedestral, and upon
these the moving figures appear. The
lower balcony shows a procession of con
tinental soldiers, headed by a mounted
general and marching past, while the
old liberty bell proclaims its welcome
notes of freedom. A sentirn.-l salutes
the Continentals as they pass, and just
at that moment a door is opened from
an upper b:ik:ony and reveals Mollie
Pitcher with her cannon, which she
tires with stnrtling and realistic effect.
To short- well the maker of the clock has
considered the details of his hand'work
he Iras placed a small fan in the clock,
to be actuated after the firing of Molly's
cannon, for the purpose of clearing out
the powd-ir-smoke. Simultaneous witli
this the portraits of t lie twenty Presi
dents of the United States pass in pano
ramic view on a balcony just ;tbove the
patriotic tableau, of which Mollie Pit
cher i the central figure, and Thomas
Jefferson holds up the declaration of in
depenuenc. The apostolic procession is
similar to those lulherto seen in such
clocks. The TwUve Apostles file past,
Satan appears, and the cock crows in
warning to Peter. A figure of justice
raises her scales as the form of Christ
appears, and during the scene a large
representation of death tells off the min
utes upon a bell. AVhen one sees the
clock, the tools with which it was made
and hears the miner's story of how he
bought the wood hit bv bit as he could
afford from his sp.ire chanae, he is sen
sibly impressed with human possibilities.
"Sometimes." says McGlynn, "I could
not buy more than twenty-five ctnts'
worth of wood at a time, but I was nev
er idle." He was working al the clock
five long years in a chamber cf the mine
lefore anybody knew his secret. Then
lie was taken sick, and during his rav
ing, talked continually of his plans.
The doctor finally ascertained from him
what it was that worried him, and made
him promise not to work at it for a year;
but as soon as he waa able to go to the
mine he was at his clock once more, and
toiled put if ut ly along until he had it in
shape to show his friends. The figures
used in the Biblical and historical illus
trations wore cast by him in moulds of
his own ih ign. and there is very little
in the entire clock that did not come
from I. is h urls. Xow that it is finish
ed ho Scarcely knows what fodo with it.
He Las been oft', red S1,hj0 for it, but he
hesitates to sell, ;is it he would have to
drift back to his old place in the Ilalen
back mine, and probably begin building
another.
Old Tnr.r. The ages attained by
some of liic coiiii'ciie are scarcely less
extraordinary than their colossal bulk.
Tiie greatest longevity assigned to any
tree is perhaps credited to the celebrat
ed taxouium of Chapnltepee, in Mexico,
UT feet in circumference, which is thot'
by IK- Caii.K.ileto exceed in agf) the bao
bab of Senegal, inferred to be 5, lot) years
old. GoepM it ytates that tuxtxlium dis
UrliHin has been ascertained bv its an
nual rinus to live :2,)i;o years. The
mammoth tree has been estimated to live
4,000 ycais in California. Do Candoile
quotes a mi m tier of irtances of longev
ity in the yew, and J'lullicher consklets
i.e in Dei in .-shire, to be "J.O'w; years old.
end the one at Graford in North Wales
l.-'.oo years old. The pines, cypresses,
firs, hire lies and cedars are credited with
ages of 200, 3.K) and even 500 years. Pi-ct-a
i2 '0 fe' in height is mentioned by
Goer.ptrt, as ascertained by its annular
rings, to be 4') years old. and a huix is
32 I feet to be ."iTt'i years old. The Scotch
i'ii.c (Pin"s '"'') is said 10 require
2.) Tears to mat ore its tiiuberro perfec
tion. In Witch's Manual of the Coni
fei;v tne ages of some of these are stated
at, crusitlei 'ably le.-s. Oiher examples
of a h.iig- i;y p r -ait r than 50O years aro
n:eiitio;.ed. These are f . V ( ilenara,
7-V.l to nine hundred years ; cedar of Be
banon, CM to ,.W) years. I, is impor
tant, however, to lecognizctbc fact that
I'ipgs of growth are not in all cases
tni.-tworihy guides, an l the subject is
involved in siiiuf obscurity. The rings
of growth in euc.ilypt us have been as-
rtaiiH d to l hifiiiiiat. White cerjars
planted in England show symptoms of
tL-cay. as in I?;chiuond Park, as if their

COW 8TARLLS.
To construct gutters In cow stables so
aa to insure cleanliness the Ohio Farmer
says :
First drive in your largest or longest
cow, and chain her up In the back stall.
Then give them meal or other feed in
their mangers, and while they are quiet
ly and comfortably eating, seeing that
they are standing squarely on their feet,
carefully mark the position of the hind
feet upon the ground, and draw a line
between these points across the entire
stable. This line will mark the position
for the front edge of the manure gutter
or trough. Back of this line dig out a
square tlitch, sixteen inches wide and 8
or 10 deep. Into this drop your plank
gutter, which should be made of two
inch plank. The bottom plank should
be 12 to 1G inches wide, and the sides
from 6 to 8 inches wide, according to
to the method adopted of spiking them
together, so as to leave your manure gut
ter full 12 inches wide in the clear, and
not less than six or eight inches deep.
The top of this though must be well
braced at intervals of eight feet to pre
vent the pressure of the earth from foic
ing in the side planks and thus making
the gutter to narrow at the top. These
gutters must be well cieanea every uay
while the cows ase out for water and ex
ercise, and a slight sprinkling of chaff
or short straw shake over the bottom as
an absorbent, and to keep the cows' tails
out of the liquid manure while lying
down. The gutter must have an inclin
ation from the back part of the stable
to the front, and a free discharge thro'
the wall of the barn into the barnyard,
where other absobent matter should be
ready to receive it. No littering of these
gutters would be necessary, were it not
for the fact that the passage of the li
quid manure will be more or less ob
structed or clogged by the solid manure
after the stables havebeen occupied sev
eral hours. The platform ou which the
cows are to lie and stand should also
have a slight iuclination toward the ma
nure gutter. The proix-r length of this
platform 1 have found to range from six
feet in length for the longest cow down
to five feet long for the shortest cow.
n.ick of the manure gutter should be a
passage way or walk of suitable width
for the wheelbarrow and the milkers.
These distances will determine the pro
per dimensions for a cow stable, which
is not less than twelve feetiu depth, and
of any length desired, according to the
size of the barn or the number of cows.
The width of stalls should lie from three
to four feet. The next best method
which I have seen practiced of keeping
cows clean in winter is to leave them
unchained in box stalls six by eight or
ten feet, keeping them well cleaned and
littered every day.
STKAW IN THE MASKER.
It is r.ot at all difficult to rot down a
straw pile, and by so doing to germinate
and kill most of the weed seeds contain
ed therein, by making the stack very
flat, so as to catch much water, it rots
rapidly, and as soon as it gets once
thoroughly wetted, by repiling. it soon
heats and decays. But the stack or pile
of straw at best only contains carbon and
silica in quantities, and these are the
most common and least valuable of all
the elements of plant food. The quan
tity of potash, nitrogen and phosphoric
acid is very small indeed, rind there is
no method by which this pile of straw
can in any way be changed into manure
containing any more of these valuable
elements than were in the stack origin
ally. If we tread this pile down it will
only be a pile of wet straw, and if we
rot it ever so thoroughly it will only lie
a smaller pile of thoroughly rotted straw
and at best only a little better than so
much swamp muck. It is only by the
use of straw as an absorbent, and as a
coarse food for fattening animal's, and
by using with it much rieh food, such
as corn, bran, oil, or cotton seed meal,
etc., that we can change it into a man
ure that shall really lie very valuable to
use, and that will largely increase the
crops where used. "Ve must not expect
that we can raise large crops of grain
year after year, and sell the most valu
able part, and by any method tnrn the
straw into a manure that shall keep np
the fertility of the soil, if we manure
only with straw we must expert to grow
only straw upon the land. It is unfor
tunate foi any man to be so situated
that he cannot afford to eat up and
tread down the straw, and to be fed
riched foods, so as to make a full sup
ply of rich manure. With any system
of farming we now have, the land must,
sooner or later, become exhausted and
cease to yield ptolitable crops if we fail
to let urn to the soil the essential ele
ments of plant food removed in such
crops. J. S. Wcuhcard, in X. Y. Tri
bune. Ciiixese Pbintixo. The blocks are
all of the same si.e, and about eight in
ches by twelve inches, and about half
an inch thick. Each block represents
two leaves of four pages of the book, lie
ing engraved on both sides. The blocks
for a complete work can thus be stowed
away in a veiy small compass. The cost
of engraving a page of the wooden blocks
is said to be but little more than the ex
pense of setting up a page of Chinese
type and preparing it for the press. An
edition of one copy can be printed if no
more are required, and thus the expense
of keeping a large stock of printed books
on hand, some of which might eventual
ly have to be sold as waste paier when
they grow out of date or revisions had
to be made, as is the case among our
selves, is entirely avoided. Any eirors
of misprints that may be discovered can
as a rule be corrected on the blocks with
but very little trouble.
A skillful printer can print by hand
5.000 'eaves of two pages each in a day,
using no press or machinery whatever,
lie supplies iiis own tools and receives
as wages about twenty-five cents a day.
The paiwr ordinarily used is white and
of the best quality, although a yellowish
kind is also made use of at a leduction
of twenty per cent, on the selling price.
The books are bound in the usual Chi
nese, style and fastened with white silk
thread. They present an appearance
which sat is lies the taste of the most fas
tidious native.
One Cacse of Colic in Houses.
Co!ie in horses is nftf-n bronpht on by
fecrliiip; bay jiasspil thronph the corn
stalk cutters miTfil with meal, niiolinps
or bran, and then wet up. The br-rse
eats this fooil, thus prepare!, so rapidly
that it is not properly masticated, and
consequently becomes so died in the
stomach as to cause indigestion follow
ed by colic ; more especially if directly
after eating be is allowed to drink heart
ily of water ; and the colder this is, so
much the more is it liable to brintr on
colic. The best way, when a horse is
bronpht into the stable, is to let him
stand a short time, particularly if sweat
ing, then piva him three or four quarts
of water not over cold ; then some un
cut hay ; after this a feed of prain or
meal ; and half an hour or so after that
is eaten, all the water he pleases to
drink. Some horses will eat cut hay
with impunity, others cannot, or at
least not till after they have first eaten
some uncut. Lire Stork Journal.
"Wfiev good, rich farming lands are
worth fifty dollars p-r acre, and ciears
five cents each, every time a young man
smokes one he dissolves into smoke and
ashes the price of nine square feet of
pooJ land, upon which car. prow, at one
crop, wheat enough to keep a man in
bread for a day, or corn sufficient to feed
a fattening hop for the same time.
Xow, younp man. If you must smoke
somethinp put these facts in your pipes
smoke them and b wise.
