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.

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.

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

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.

In all other birds tbe feathers

In peocll-llke points, formed by In
