A CLOCK IN A BOTTLE.
The Way Thi« Marvel of Mechanism
Wat Constructed.
A German olockmaker llvitig*iii the
little village of liommer, near Magde
burg, built a clock In a Untie. The
maker, II. IJosin. secured a strong
movement with a cylinder escapement
measuring forty-livo millimeters and
began by sawing the plate Into halves.
The opening iu the neck of the Iwttlc
measures tiftacn millimeters, and in
order to get these halves Into the lot
tie he cut another segment off each of
the halves of the plate. He built a sort
of tripod as a resting place for the
movement. This tripod was assembled
after he had Introduced its parts Into
the bottle separately. The tripod Is so
constructed that it cannot turn when
the movement Is lielng wound. The
four pieces of the plate were fastened
Bide by side by means of screws to
the platform attached to the tripod, a
long screwdriver ami other tools espe
cially constructed for the purpose hav
ing been used for this operation. When
the plate was put together, the clock
iunker proceeded to put all the parts
of the movement in their original
places with the motion wheels for the
bands. A ring of white metal was
placed around the neck of the bottle,
and upon this riug was soldered a
rouud plate, thus closing the openlug.
On this cover were fastened Iu an iu
cllned position the arms which serve
as a support for the dial.
The dial Is made of a ground glass
plate, which has a diameter of twenty
centimeters. The black numbers on the
dial are cut skeleton fashlou and ce
mented to the glass. At night one can
tell the time by placing a light behind
the dial.-Technical World.
THE HUMAN TONGUE.
Kloquent Even Whan It Does Not Ar
ticulate a Word.
It is never necessary for the tongue
to talk iu order to tell that you are HI
or the nature of your illness. The
tongue of the dumb is quite as elo
quent when viewed by ati experienced
physician as the tongue of the most
talkative person.
It Is a wonderful orgau aud should
be studied by all parents, not only on
their own account, but on account
of their offspring. It aids In mastica
tion of food, Iu drinking. In sucking. In
articulation, and contains In Its mu
eous membrane the |peripheral organs
of taste. There are doctors who will
spend half an hour feeling of your
pulse and listening to your heartbeats.
TUere are others who command,
"Stick out your tongue." One glance
at your tongue will to them tell the
tale.
Tremulousiiess of the tongue when
It Is protruded Is a positive sign of
various nervous diseases. But by far
the commonest cause of this tremu
lousness Is an excessive Indulgence in
alcohol. There is an old rule a I
out
looking into a man's eye to tell If he
be a habitual lusher. It often falls.
Drink in some men excites the lachry
mal glands, causing the eye to appear
watery. But all of us know men who
have watery eyes, yet never touch
liquor. But the best and final teat Is
the tongue. It Is the only sign that
cannot be concealed. If a man seek
lug employment swears on a stack of
Bibles that he does not drink, make
him stick out his tongue. If It trem
bles he is a liar. New York Press.
Comb* Made of Old Shoee.
A mountain of old boots and shoes,
Indescribably ugly, indescribably filthy,
lay iu the factory yard.
"We'll make tombs out. of them,"
said the chemist, "combs that will pass
through the perfumed and lustrous
locks of the most lieautiful girls.
Seems strange, doesn't It?"
"Very."
"Yet it's a fact. That is what be
comes of all the world's old shoes.
They are turned into combs. The
leather is first cut into small pieces aud
immersed two days in a chloride of
sulphur bath then It Is washed, dried
and ground to powder then it is mixed
with glue or gum and pressed Into
comb molds.
"It makes good enough combs, but I
prefer the rubber ones myself."—Ex
change.
The Overcoat.
Probably In no other department sar
torial Is there exhibited so much In
difference to hygienic considerations
as In the overcoat. The greatest fal
lacy of all perhaps in regard to the
choice of an overcoat is that the terms
"weight" and "warmth" are synony
mous. As a matter of fact, they are
nearly always diametrically opposed.
Moreover, the heavy overcoat Is a tax
on the resources of the organism and
destroys thu economy which a good
insulating cloth is intended to secure.
