H. BAKEU C'cBiOiiaai Ufra Clerk STRIKING TIMS OF CLOCKS. Not Always fr.t for the Hour Reas .on for the Variations. It la hard to have a number of clocks strike together, according to Ernest H. Ouenther of Pittsburg, who is Interested In the manufacture of timepieces. "You see." he said, ""rome clocks are arranged to strike half a minute before the hour, some a quarter of a minute before, others a few seconds after and so on. Now, If I regulate them to strike at the aame Instant they will not be In agreement In point of actual time, and that la really a more Important consideration. ""Of course If there are a great many clocks In the bouse It Is likely that several will happen to strike to gether. For Instance there Is one house which has twenty clocks and .one of our men looks after them. Of these, live or six strike In unison and the others all within a minute, except ing one. He has orders to keep nine teen of the clocks at exactly the cor rect time, but the little Jewelled time piece In the bedroom of the ml a tress of the house Is to he kept always three minutes fast. "No. he does not get rich at the business of winding clocks and seeing that they keep time, but he makes a fair living at It. The house I lust spoke of Is an especially profitable house of course, having so many clocks. They pay him 1100 a year for his attendance which Is given weekly." 8001s Anlmsls' Tails. Tbe talis of anirnals are Dot Derea sarlly for adornment only. Horses, cows and many other creatures use their tails as fly flappers. Cats, squir rels ADd such like frequently twist them about their necks for comfort tera. Tbe rat baa raised the uae of the tall to a fine art, for lie finds It an Invaluable asset In stealing Jelly, oil or cream out of Jars or bottles whose contents cannot be reached otherw ise. The macao playB as merrily wltb Its tall as does a kitten, and It Is said that tbe niarmaset uses Its tall as a blanket while sleeping, livery one has heard how moDkeys employ their tails as an aid tn swinging from tree to tree in Journeying through pathlesa forests, and,' of course, we all know that fishes are enabled to navi gate In whatever direction by means of their tall fins. The ant eater raises his big bushy tall for an umbrella. The vanity of tbe strutting peacock Is nourished by tbe beauty of lu tall. Washington Herald. Filling Many Wants. One of the moat useful tree. In tbe world la a species of palm which grows In Brazil. It might aafely be called a vegetable emporium, for it yields everything from medicine' to cattle food. From the roots la ob tained a very valuable medicine which Is used for purifying tbe blood In 8prlngtlme. Its timber takes a very high polish, and Is much sought after by cabinet makers for fine work. The Bap becomes wtne or vinegar, accord ing to the treatment It receives. From the sap, starch and sugar are also ob tained. Tbe fruit of tbe tree Is given to cattle for food; tbe nut, ground to powder, makes a good aubstltute for coffee, and the pith becomes bottle corks. Columbus and tits Gulf Stream. It Is curious to note In the history of the gulf stream how great its Influ ence has been on the fortunes of the new world. Before the discovery ot America strange woods and fruits were frequently found on tbe shores of Europe and off-lying Islands. Some of these were aeen and examined by Columbus, and to his thoughtful mind they were confirming evidence of the fact that strange landa were not far to tbe westward. These woods were carried by tbe golf stream and by the prevailing winds from tue American continent, so that In part tbe gulf stream is responsible for tbe discov ery of tbe new world. BALTIMORE'S SHOWER BATHS. They Are Set Up In Summer In Tsnta on yacant Lota. The city of Baltimore has a system of portable shower baths In which the residents of tbe congested sections may enjoy both hot and cold water baths during the summer moatha. Although tailed portable tbe bath) are not moved from place to place every few hours but are housed un der canvaa or constructed of galvan ised Iron sheeting. They are erected, aaya Popular Me chanics, on vacant lota tn congested districts and remain at one place all summer, the "portable' meaning that they can then be taken down and packed away until required tbe next year. The patronage of such a bath on warm days, it Is stated, numbers about 400. On two days a week wom en attendants are placed In charge and tbe baths are turned over to women and glrla. From 350 to 400 availed themselves of this opportun ity. Last year more than 16,132 per iD. nsri the bath. Poor Booba. "I wonder." said tbe wild looking man, with the multiplied whisker.

BABV TURTLES ARE CAUTIOUS. No Sooner Out of th Egg Thn They Scurry Down to th 8a, Just as soon aa a baby turtle emerges from the egg off he scurries down to the sea, say the Lo Angeles Times. He has no one to teach him, no one to guide him. In hla curious little brain there la implanted a streak ot caution period In his life bis armor is soft and no defence against hungry fish, and heat once seeks shelter In tbe tropical profusion of the Gulf weed, which holds within Its branch ing fronds an astonishing abundance of marine life. Her tbe young turtle feed unmolested while hla armor un der (roes the hardening process. Whatever tbe young sea turtle eaU and wherever he eau It facts not generally aacortalned one thing 1 certain, It agree wltb him immensely. He leads a pleasant sort of life, bask ing in tbe tropical sun and cruising leisurely In th cool depths. Once he baa attained the weight of twenty-five pounds, which usually oc curs within the first year, the turtle Is free from all danger. After that no f.3b or mammal, however ravenous, however well armed wltb teeth. Inter feres with tbe turtle. How Shakespear Spoke. Shakespeare would find his lines aa recited by tbe actors of to-day almost unintelligible, according to Daniel Jones, who gave an address before tbe Elizabethan Society. To prove bis contention Mr. Jones recited "The Seven Ages' aa Shakes peare himself would have spoken It. Tbe effect was a hotch-potch of a d ox en dialects of to-day. Tbe broad "a's" Justified the Lancastrian "feyther" In stead of father, and tb Cockney nas al '1" sounds found full satisfaction in words such as maid. Other of Mr. Jones's' examples of' Elizabethan pronounciatlon have no parallels In morlern dialects.. Watch was made to rhyme with catch, should with cooled, brew with new. Fifth ind sixth, he said, were pronounced with out the final "th" sound, and tbe word soa was accorded a final sound equiva lent to the French "e." Dene-Holes. Thc9e curious well-like excavations, found In Kent and Sussex, are popu larly supposed to belong to the time, of the Danish rule In England. They are Invariably about S feet In diame ter and aeldom less than (0 feet deep. Ingress and egress were provided for by means of rude ladders or rope. Various explanations bar been offer ed to account for their existence some supposing them to have been places of refuge, others that they were connected with secret forms of worship, still others that they wera dug for the extraction of chalk and places of refuge, others that they flint Mr. A. J. Philip. In a recent study of tbe subject, advocates the) view that the bolea were made to serve as silos, or granaries. They ara found close together in groups, corre sponding with the habit of various tribes of clustering in restricted areas. Dogwood. Tbe Industrial value of dogwood fa probably but little appreciated except by manufacturers and users of bob bins, shuttles and spindles employed tn cotton and woolen-mills. These are made of dogwood or persimmon wood, and hitherto the supply has come from the Southern Butte. The Forest Service now calls attention to the fact that the supply in that part of the country is nearly exhausted. Fortunately dogwood abounds In Ore gon, Washington and California, and large planU tor the manufacture of aplndlea have recently been erected In tbe Cascades In Oregon. In the East an attempt has been made to substi tute the wood of the mesqult and tha tupelo for dogwood. Th mesqult la very bard, heavy and dose-grained; tbe tupelo 1 heavy, but less hard. It has the valuable property of wearing; smooth by friction. aytra awiy at your funs, Tt brave, untaftaring warriors, ! tot tori bow ever yonder hill I Appcoacs the enemy'a forces.

WINQ8 THAT WERE FINS. f Evidence That Penguin's Pinions Ware Once Used for Swimming. Ornithological puxxles are th pen. gulps with their curiously shaped winds suggest that tbe penguins ara descendants of birds which used their wtags rather than legs tn the pursuit of prey under water, and as th strug gle Intensified between the competing Individuals th most expert at this sort of swimming would get the moot food and oust their leaa successful rivals. The winners gained advan tage over their neighbors In propor. Coo as their wings Improved aa swimming organs, and Inversely and of necessity became less suited to per form the work of flight In all other birds tbe feathers though shed annually are more or leas gradually displaced; bat tn the -penguins the new feathers all start Into being at the earns time and thrust out the old leathers upon their tips so that these coma away in great flake. Whereas In all birds save penguins the new feather aa they thrust their way through tbe akin end In peocll-llke points, formed by In vesting sheaths. In tbe penguins these sheaths are open at the tlpa and at tached by thetr lima to tb roots of the old feathers, and hence these ar held to their successors until they have attained a sufficient length to Insure protection agalnat cold. The curious device for retaining tbe warmth afforded by tb old feath ers until tbe new generation can fill their place ia apparently due to tha fact that penguins are natives of tha antarctic regions, although soma noav Inhabit tropical seas.'
