THE WATCH A COMPASS.
Way to Ascertain the Points ofa Compyan
From a Timepiece.
Few of the many persons who carry
watches are aware of the fact that
the): are always provided with a com-
pass with which, when the sun is shin-
ing. the:- can determine a north and
south line. All one has to do is to
pole: the hour hand to the sun, and the
,souih is exactly half way between the
110111 and the figure “12” on the watch.
For c::a111ple, suppose it is 9 o‘clock in
the. morning. Follow the rule given
above. and we find the south as is indi-
cated below. Prolong this line along
tl111111ce of the watch and you have a
north and south line, and from this
any point on the compass may be de-
termined. This may seem strange, but
the reason is plain. While the sun is
massing over 180 degrees (from east to
west) the ‘ hour hand of the watch
passes over 360 degrees (from 6 o’clock
to 8 o’clock). Consequontily the angu-
lar movement of the sun in one hour
corresponds to the angular movement
of Ithe hour hand in half an hour;
hence. it holding the watch horizontal,
we point the hour hand toward the
sun, the line from the pivot of the
hands to the point midway between
the hour hand and 12 o‘clock will point
to the south—Baltimore American.
New Use For Hemlock.
Last fall the Nekoosa Pulp & Paper
80. of Nekoosa, “is. began experi-
ments to test the value of hemlock
timber for the manufacture .of pulp, in
, contemplation of establishing a plant
for the production of sulphite fiber
wooden ware. The experiments proved
satisfactory and the company began
purchasing vast quantities of hemlock
logs, paying as low as $2.10 per 1,000
feet. As a thousand feet weighs about
six tons, the material is very cheap.
Fully one-half of the hemlock in the
northwesterustates has been hitherto
worthleSS, but now an immense mar-
ket is open for it. The factory is now
making good print paper from shaky
hemlock logs, which means cheaper
paper, cheaper books, cheaper educa-
tion, cheaper wooden ware. more e111-
ployment for labor, more freight for
railways and an increase of many mil-
lions of dollars in the value of timber
in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minneso-

l; “31-931'6 thni Coins A re Blade.
It is not generally known that all the
minor coins of base metals. such as
pennies and nickles, are made at the
Philadelphia Mint, and that nearly
100,1};HDOJO pennies are coined there
eveiy year. This large numbe1 is oc-
cassjoned by the fact that thousands of
peamie-sare lost annualiy, and the Gov-
ernment has some difficulty in main-
taining a supply; The profit of the
{Trovernment on their manufacture is
large. The blanks for making them are
purchased for $1 a thousand from a
Cincinnati firm that produces them by
Contmct. Blanks for nickels are ob-
tained in the same way, costing Uncle
5111.111 only a cent and a half apiece.
“old is coined in Philadelphia and San
111-:1'ncisco. Not enough of it comes in-
to the mint at New Orleans to make
the coinage of it worth while. Gold
[11111131135 are the only coins of the United
States which are worth their face
value intrinsically. A double eagle

TARIFF COMMISSION IDEA.
Senator Cullom Gives His Indorsemenl‘
to the Suggestion.
Washington, May 8.—-In reply to in~
quiries as to his views on the question
of creating a permanent tariff commis—
sion, Senator Cullom has written the
following letter to Samuel B. Archer,
secretaiy of the Tariff Commission
league at New,a1k N J.:
“My Dear Sir—You have asked me
two or three times whether I have been
and am now in favor of a permanent
tariff commission. I have for many
years thought that there ought to be
some means devised by which we could
avoid these ,constant and extreme
changes in tariff legislation—first going
far in the direction of high tariff, and
on the occasion of a change of politics
going as far the other way.
“I believe that through the judicious
agency of a. permanent tariff commis-
sion, composed of experts, statisticians
and business men, such changes could‘
be made from year to year by congress
as might be indicated and clearly shown
to be Wise. This would save the neces-
sity of requiring a change of the whole
tariff system by whatever party came
into power.
“Certainly we cannot continue indefi-
nitely as we have been doing with ref-
erence to that subject, because the busi-
ness of the country will not tolerate it.
I hope sincerely that this congress may
provide for some kind of a. commission
which will aid in changing the situa—
tion, and I should be glad if an amend—
ment of the kind indicated were to be
incorporated in the bill now before the
senate, known as the Dingley bill.”
Two Injured by a Vicious Horse.
Middletown, N. Y., May 8.—A vicious
horse nearly killed Hostler James L.
Mulligan of Dr. M. C. Connor’s stables.
Dr. W. J. Nelson, who ran to Mulligan’s
assistance, was also kicked in the
stomach and back. When Mulliga‘n
was finally pulled from under the
horse’s feet, his leg was broken. and he
was found to have sustained other in-
juries which probably will prove fatal.
Dr. Nelson will recover.

ZMul-dered by Tramps.
Milwaukee, May 8.—A farmer named
Harris, living five miles south of Wau-

ty has gone to the scene.
