A Kankakee county, 111., man Is the possessor of one of the most wonderful clocks In the country. This clock is as near a perpetual motion machine as any piece of mechanism yet designed. The owner is not a perpetual motion crank, but is a Jeweler named Peter M Ravenskilde of Cabery, a town In the southwestern portion of Kankakee county. The clock is the product of many years of study and labor and consider able expense. It keeps accurate time and will ryn for a year the least attention from its owner. The clock proper is run with a wheel CO Inches in circumference. From the outer surface of the circumference was suspended 120 cups, each one-half inch in diameter and a third o' .11 inch deep. Each of forty of these cups, which are successive, contain steel balls three-eighths of an inch in diam eter. Every minuteand a half as this wheel turns by the weight of these balls one of them falls out of its cup. rolls down an inclined plane 20 inches long, when, by its own weight, it reunites a broken circuit of electricity and is again ele vated by a little car traveling along a steeper inclined plane to the top of the wheel, where it falls into a cup which stands vertical for a short time. After the car discharges its cargo it returns to its original station from its own weight. From the time one of these balls is dropped into a cup until it is again dropped into another cup it travels 36 inches. Thus the work done by all the balls is equivalent to one ball traveling over one mile a day, 400 miles in one year, and during the life time of a person living threescore years the distance around the globe. The electricity used is generated in an ordinary storage battery, which does not require any attention for fully a year. Spniu'N fircut Untitling,'. Spain possesses one of the largest buildings in the wo. at. It is 1 • palace, a museum, a library, n pictuie gallery, a monastery, a church and a burial place. This wonderful edifice is called the Escurlal. although the name is very generally corrupted both in England and America into "Kscrri al." The Escorial was commenced in l'.fi.l by order of Philip 11. of Spain and was intended partly as a royal buri il place for the kings of Spain and partly us a commemoration of I'hilip's victory over the French at St. Quentin in 15;j7. It is built entirely of granite, and measures "14 feet in length by ,j&0 feet in breadth. At each corner is a tower 200 feet in height. The building is supposed to represent an enormous gridiron lying upside down, and this shape is believed to have reference to St. Lawrence, who was martyred on a gridiron. Twenty-one years were spent in building it, and it cost $12,000,000. It ! has been twice partly destroyed by ! lightning and was sacked by the ' French soldiers in IStiS.

(Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Jan. 23. —A revelation to both friends and foes of Colonel Quay was given last week as to the senti ment among publishers and editors of the leading representative Republican newspapers of Pennslyvania on the question of the seating of the Beaver statesman in the United States senate upon the appointment made by Gov ernor Stone. No political pressure or influence of any character was respon sible for these opinions. They came quickly in response to telegraphic re quests sent out by the editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer, who, in a tele gram duplicated to newspapers in dif ferent parts of the state, said: "Has Pennsylvania stood by Quay, and should he be seated as senator?" The replies came back by wire with in a few hours, and they express in a striking manner the sentiment of the Republican constituencies of the var ious papers. It lias been manifest for years that the stalwart Republicanism and the constantly increasing Repub lican majorities in the Keystone state must in a large measure be attributed to the steadfast loyalty of the Repub lican newspapers of the state to the principles of Republicanism, their un wavering devotion to the cause of that party and their intelligent advocacy of the doctrines and platforms and un faltering support of the nominees of the Republican organization. Because a small minority of Repub lican members of the legislature, join ing with the Democrats, prevented the election of the Republican caucus nom inee for United States senator these stalwart Republican papers do not be lieve that Republicans should strike their colors to this band of Republi can insurgents, made up of the follow ers of Martin in Philad phia. Flinn in Allegheny, and a s.&jtfring contin gent In the interior < • Ofties, many of them elected on fusion tickets. They believe in standing by their party without attempting to raise Quay upon a pedestal or make him out great er than his fellow Republicans. They generally regard him as the nominee of the Republican caucus, and as such the candidate of the Republican party for United States senator. Here are some of the replies given to The Inquirer's query: The I lioiee of ll>e Majority. Quay deserves to be sealed in the United States senate because the great state of Pennsylvania wants him there. The Republican party rules the old Keystone state by all that's fair, at the polls directly by the people and in the legislature by their representatives, 'i majority of the Republican party has unmistakably declared him their choice. Majorities still rule, and to fair minded men. free from hatred and jealousy there ought to be no question about the right of the choice of Penn sylvania Republicans to a seat in the United States senate. O.M.BOWMAN, editor Lebanon Times. iiiHiiricentH Iteliukeil. The last Republican state convention inserted a plank in the platform in dorsing the appointment of Colonel Quay as United States senator by Gov ernor Stone, and at the ensuing gen eral election the people of Pennsylva nia declared the governor was right by returning a tremendous majority for the ticket named by the convention. Here in Chester county Representative Rendall, one of the insurgent leaders of the last house, took the stump for the Democratic ticket on the ground that if the county returned a majority for the Republican nominees it would be a virtual indorsement of Quay's ap pointment by the governor and a re buke of the course pursued by him and Representative Jefferies. Well. Ches ter county did return a substantial ma jority for Colonel Harnett and the whole ticket, thereby rebuking Rendall and Jefferies and declaring in unequiv ocal terms that Colonel Quay was her choice for United States senator, not withstanding the desperate machina tions of the local insurgent leaders. J. B. FISHER. Editor West Chester Village Record. Vlena of Heeojiiilxeil Republic-aim. Pennsylvania has so frequently ex pressed its devotion to and recognition of the services cf Matthew Stanley Quay that any recital in his favor at this time would seem irrelevant. It is the consensus of opinion among regu larly rec.ognt?ed Republicans that Quay should be seated. The man hunters and fireaters have been so repeatedly repudiated of late that their cans* would seem to be tottering in ii? tracks, and a justice loving public, which can be fooled but part of the time, demands that Quay be seated. R. J. WH.SON, Editor Rending Republican Uun? Urarrvra Ml Support. The election or reje< tion of M. ,S (Juay by the senate of the I'uitsd States is a constitutional question, and fortunately will not tie influenced by his enemies in this state, whose suc cess would be a triumph of corrupt pol itics. Quay has been faithful to th« party, faithful to friends, and deserves 1.25 Per. Y Number 43 I O.N UIM tuo neyuuiicaiia 01 reuuaji vania can do for him. Editor Courant Guardian, New Castl* Snyiler Count y'» InilnrHPinrnt There is no Question but that the Itepublicans of Pennsylvania, by the splendid majority given the Republi can nominees last fall, after the fight made against them by the disgruntled element in the state, and the clean sweep now being made in the election of delegates to the state convention, are favorable to Hon. M. S. Quay. It is an indorsement of him. J. A. LUMBARD, Editor Snyder County Tribune. Itiicht Krom the Shoulder, It is our belief that Pennsylvania has supported Quay and will do it agaln.at the first opportunity. He cer tainly should be reated. and the great majority of the Republicans in this county are very grateful to The In quirer for its great fight in his favor. Keep it up, and we will back you and Quay both at the first opportunity. We have no sympathy with the cutthroat traitors who are trying to ruin our party for their own glorification and a certain rich man's money. Editor Ridgway (Elk co.) Advocate. Fairly Won the I'lulit. Senator Quay has won every contest In Pennsylvania in which he ever en gaged. He fairly won the legislative contest in 180S. the issue being fairly before the people in both the primary and the general elections in the fall. There is no valid reason or excuse why he should not have been elected by the last legislature. Forest county members supported him to the end, and we believe he should be seated. Editor Forest County Republican. Should H*' Fully HepreMented. Senator Quay has been supported by the people of Pennsylvania and still lias their confidence and support. He was the caucus nominee of the party, and should have been elected. His se lection should not depend upon pre cedents, but upon strict construction of the constitution. Pennsylvania should always have two members in the senate. Editor Meadville (Crawford county) Tribune-Republican. Otllfllt toll« k Sen toil. Pennsylvania supported Mr. Quay when the caucus of the majority party nominated him by a majority of those having the richt to vote and then the majority of his party continued to vote for him until the close of the session. He ought to be seated. Editor Harrisburg Telegraph. liu |)<M* iit I IVn »*yl vnnln'M Hi^litM. Certainly, Pennsylvania has support ed Quay at every possible opportunity, and will do so again. Yes. he should be reseated as senator, because he rep resents the sentiment of the imperial state of Pennsylvania, and because the state is entitled to equal representation with sister commonwealths. Editor Altoona Tribune. Fulton County Nont Intent. Pennsylvania lias always supported Senator Quay, and had Republicans in the legislature reflected the honest opinions of their constituents he would have been elected. Failing his elec : tion, he should be seated on the gov ernor's appointment, so that the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania should be fully represented in the highr , branch of congress. Editor Fulton Republican. UI'IIOIIIICOM ('II III* IIM lloltOl'M. Pennsylvania has long been loyal to Senator Quay, on account of his sturdy i Republicanism and ability to shatter Democratic hopes instate and nation. He has never been beaten in a fair, open contest his adherents are as i numerous a ; ever. The common sense reason why he should be seated is be cause the Democrats and caucus bolt ers at tlie law' session of the legislature, together constituting a majority, failed to elect, which gave Governor Stone a clear ristfit to appoint, if it was the purpose oi the trainers of the constitu tion —and we believe it was—tha: Pennsylvania should always have full representation in the United States eenate. Editor Lewisburg (Union county) Sat urday News. Yiiii'r I'rdiii I-'uyi'tlf County. The failure of the last legislature to elect a senator was due to the bolting action of about one-fourth the Repub lican members, not a half dozen of whom could have been nominated or elected had it been known by their constituents that they would not enter the caucus and otherwise observe the regular party customs. The action ot the regular or caucus Republicans was later indorsed by an overwhelming majority of the delegates in the Re publican state convention, and was ratified by the people nt the polls last November by 110,000 plurality. It will again be ratified by the coming state ! convention by a four-fifths vote. O. J. STURGIS, Editor I'nioutown (Fayette county) News-Standard. Thi* Commonwealth*** ( ltolco. The question of Colonel Quay's ac ceptability to the Republican voters of Pennsylvania has been answered by them In the affirmative every time It has been raised. He is the common wealth's choice for senator, and every state should have complete representa tion in the senate. LEVY S. RICHARDS. Editor Scranton Tribune. Voice of the People. The result of the last election, in our judgment, settled the fact that Penn sylvania Republicans supported Quay , and that a large majority not only of i the people, but practically all Repub ; licans, desired him to be senated by the senate. The platform indorsed his ! appointment and it was ratified at the ! polls. JESSE O. THOMAS & SONS. Publishers Bucks County Gazette.
