HiB First Assignment Was a failure
Two Ways.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"1 bee the papers are reviving tho
story of Rudyard Kipling's San Fran
cisco experience In Journalism," re
marked a reporter who is familiar with
the traditions of the coast, "but they
havo it all wrong. Tho facts were
simply these: Kipling struck 'Frisco
when ho was overburdened with
neither money nor fame and applied
at one ot tho morning papers for a
Job. The city editor was not much
Impressed with Ills appearance, hut ho
happened to need help and gave him
a chance on the force. The first as
signment lie got was to write up a
mercantile failure, which he did in his
own peculiar stylo. He made no ref
erence to the assets or liabilities or
any other of the essential facts, hut
confined himself chlefjy to a striking
pen portrait ot the bankrupt, whom
ho depicted as an oleaginous rascal,
ripe for a cell. AV'hen the city editor
read tho copy ho came near having a
fit. 'Hete, you man with spectacles!'
he bawled, 'whoever told you you was
a Journalist must havo been joking.
Go and try shoemaldng.' This was the
way the creator ot Mulvaney came to
bo fired, and I was never able to see
exactly where the Joke came In.
There aro plenty of great literary art
ists who wouldn't he worth their salt
on a dally paper, and Kipling belongs
to that category. He was bounced,
and ought to havo been bounced, and
would be bounced again if ho turned
up 'incog' and took a staff assign
ment. Robert JxHils Stevenson had al
most tho same experience In San Fran
cisco In his youthful days. He sent
tome or his manuscript to ono of the
papers and Jt was promptly turned
down as unmitigated rot. Hu used to
say afterward that the episode gave
him great respect for tho sat'aclty of
California editors."

TRYING ON THE NERVES.
Conditions Under Which Naval En
gineers Now do Duty.
From Casaicr'a Masariiif.
During the dozen or inoro veais In
which lighting vessels have been
changing into their present forms much
has been said about tho dangers and
responsibilities that the development
has brought to the engineering staff.
In even the largest of the older types
of warships tho post of the engineer
was on a working platform over the
horizontal cylinders, and nearly, if not
inlte, as high as the level of the berth
dtck. Above him was a largo hatch
or trunk, wide open to the spar deck,
through which ho could f-eo the sky
and hear all that was doing In tho
management of the ship. Tt also sup
plied him with fresh air, sometimes too
liberally when sails overhead were set,
ns the writer recalls many Instances of
wearing an overcoat on an engine room
watch. No water-tight bulkheads or
air locks interrupted tho unity of tlio
power plant; the engineer from his
station commanded an unobstructed
view of the lire room, as well as of tho
engines, and he could reach any part
of his domain with his voice. In the
final emergency, escape fiom onglno
and lire rooms was quickly and easily
made by ladders, extending to the up
per decks.
All that has been changed. Water
tight bulkheads, alr-tlght tiro rooms
and battle hatches havo transformed
the engineer's place of duty into a. num
ber of steel cells, almost as inaccessi
ble, ono from another, us though they
wcro In dlffeient townships. Instead
of one big engine room, thero nrc now
two, three and even four, each In Its
own water-tight compartment, and tho
big street-like llro room, Into which
tho sunlight used to uhlne, lius given
place to us many ns eight narrow
black holes, cased in from all tho world.

the comfortable homo of the grizzled
old-fashioned fireman, whoso passing
we regret, has become two or three
steel-locked dungeons, Into which one
cannot enter without instinctively
making sure that rapid escape k pos
sible. Tho engineer no longer has his
duties under control of his own eye
and voice, but must fret his nervous
system by depending upon the action
of subordinates, whom ho can direct in
an imperfect manner only through a
system of communication as compli
cated as a city telephone exchange, and
much more liable to derangement.
A WONDERFUL TIMEPIECE.
The Astonishing Clock Made by a
German Inventor.
From the New York AVorld.
There Is on exhibition in the Passage
du Nord, Brussels, the most wonder
ful timepiece which ingenuity has yet
devised. ,,
This "AVelt Uhr." or "World Clock."
as It is colled by the Inventor, Herr
Noll, took live years to construct, nnd
Its estimated value is GO.OOO marks ($15,
000.) Tho clock stands lltteen feet high,
Is a little over thirteen feet broad and
live feet deep, it weighs between four
nnd five tons. The plan of the clock is
that of an early renaissance structure,
walnut wood being employed for the
frontase and tho wings. The mechan
ism is calculated for a cycle of one
hundred years, and requires winding
onco a month.
Not only are the seconds, minutes,
quarters, hours, days, weeks, months
and yearn indicated, but also the chief
religious festivals of the year and the
four seasons, These latter are heralded
in with music or the seasonable singing
of birds, accompanied with tho play of
beautifully carved figures. These make
their appearance with mathematical ac
curacy nt tho second on which each of
the four season commences, according
to the calendar.
In the midst of th clock six steps
lead to the church doors. At 9 every
morning these open nnd disclose the
Interior of a tiny Roman Catholic
cathedral, where mass Is celebrated by
automaton figures to the sound ot
choral music. Above the portal tho
painting changes four times a year to
mark the four great festivals G-ood
Friday, Easter day, Pentecost and
'Christmas which, of course-, fall on
different days of the week and month
each year. On each of these occasions
appropriate music heralds the appear
ance of excellently carved wood llgures.
The mechanism, says the Inventor, is
simple In the case of fixed festivals, but
becomes vastly more complicated for
the movable feasts, which aro calculat
ed with mathematical precision accord
ing to tho calendar for the next one
hundred ycais.
