The Navy department contains its share of the odd characters who are to be found in all the executive departments. Prominent among them Is a clerk who, although advanced tn ‘ars, is full of life. In years gone by he prac- ticed medicine, and is still called Doctor. Iia principal oddity is in seeing with unvarying promptitude daily that the noon ball at the naval observatory falls on time. The large cleck which stands in the corridor near the Secretary's door has an electric connection with the observatory, so that the drop of the ball is indicated by a click and a jump of the second hand of the clock, and it the Doctor shou!d ever fail to hear the click and see the jump, that he lay compare them with his chronometer, there is no telling what would follow. The shadows outside his office window warn him of the ap- proach of midday, and a glance at his watch is him when to makea move. At exactly | two minutes of 12 o'clock official papers and ot- fice cares are thrown to the winds. With a sudden bound he dashes out of the room, watch in hand, and strides down the corridor, He takes his stand in front of the big clock and, with his spectacles over his fore- head, glances rapidly clock to watch and from watch to clock until the noonday click has clicked. While In this posture of expectancy he pays no heed to the chaff of feliow clerks, the wondering gaze of visitors or the giggling of messengers, but watches and waits, in all things else like a statue. After the second hand has jumped he slowly closes nis watch and beams complacently upon those who may be near him. “How does she run to-day, Doctor?” some one is sure to ask. “Three seconds slow, sir,” is the prompt re- sponse. “Which, the clock or the watch?” “The clock, of course; this watch has only varied five seconds in the past year, sir, The clock is three seconds slower than ooservatory time. The watch and the observatory are to- gether.” The above conversation. or one very like it, may be heard six times a week by the big clock in the Navy department corridor. The Doctor is —— of an unbounded good natare, which i = Masinn eienes come or the unger clerk: joke him pretty severely on other than clock matters. In the early days of civil service rales some of the boys in his office concocted a scheme of having daily reports of the amount of work done. which by a good deal of forging of superior officials’ names had the semblance of ultimately receiving the attention of the Secretary. The Doctor was not in the secret, and thought the system a genuine one; but was daily worried and mystified by the fact | that his name was credited with only half the work actually performed, and never rested until he had succeeded in correcting the mistake by furnishing unmistakable proof in the shape of letters in his handwriting. He finally suw through the joke and enjoyed it as much as the “Weil,” was thi if there was a teed 1 institution, the Way might be op hinent a kind of heac where | reoms and, periaps, | we have made | «i found out | would be how they liy determit At the «7 ding could be | ation and sa mere | not extend rtainment Just given.

One thing that the Doctor takes especial pride in is his skill at rolling ten is. Notwithstanding bis years, he rolls the balls with surprising accuracy, and has bested any opponents more youthful aad apparently hardier than himself. “He has a standing chal- jenge, to which he calls the attention of the boys when they attempt to belittle his prowess.

It was like a feast of learning, a ban- quet of books—six to eight people at a table, with the feast of calfskin and morocco bindings spread out before them, and the attendants passing about with books piled up on the fiat of their hands, like waiters. Not a word is Spoken at the tables. All are intent upon the pages before them, and they neither feel, see, nor hear anything about them. The hours creep silently by; the red morocco backs and gilt letters grin down at them from. the shelres above, and the sun shines In. between the huge marble columns, casting long streaks of gold across their faces, all unnoticed. ‘They're a queer set, some of them,” said the attendant in a whisper. ‘People with appetites for books are the most ravenous in the world. They don’t want anything but books, and they can’t get enough of them. They never gay a word— those who come here regularly—they.come here early in the morning, fill out the ik checks with the name of the book they want and hand it to the librarian without @ werd. Then,.get- ting the volume, boda sit down at one of the tables, and never look up or move until it is time to close in the evening. They seen to know when that time comes, but it’s all they Know that aint in their book. One a maa a en coming here this way every day for eight- een years, and there are lots of them whe haye been coming as regularly for shorter periods.” ‘What do they read?” asked the scribe. “Each regular has his peculiar crotchet. Some Tead science only. Some won't read an that ain't in verse. Others read travels, fiction and old newspapers. There are more old news- paper files here than any other place in the world, and the lovers of that sort of research can just bury themselves.” ; “Do they appear to have any purpose in read- ing?” “Well, that’s hard to say. Ofcourse some of them have something they are reading up on. They get through sometimes. These regulars never get through. I expect that when they first come it is in many cases to get information to be used in writing some book. But they get 80 surrounded with the subject that they never get through collecting data. There is always a little more to get, and they go on and on ‘eol- lecting material’ for the book they are nevor to write, until they lose all account of time and don't know that their lives will be worn away before they have finished ‘collecting.’ It's kind of pitiful. They don't seem to haveanything to do with anybody, and seem to have lost them- selves. The net gets bound tighter and tighter about them each year, until they are bound down to one idea. What was once probably a dream of fame—an ambition, becomes a habit as hard to break off as any ofher that takes hold on the appetite. Their books are.never written; their tame never won. They come here every day, and no one knows who they ‘Some of the habitues are investigating the Christian religion for the purpose of clearing up all doubts and mysteries and hastening the mil- lenium. They send to the very top of the house for curious old books on all sorts of creeds, and sit here and read after day. Some of them may satisfy their search. But the most devout student never does. If he finds what he wants he never gets it inthe form to im and whatever information he gets probably dies with him. The deeper he enters into the study the more he withdraws himself, and the cost of knowledge is silence. “There is one man, I have said, who has been coming here every day for eighteen years. There's another who has been comiug for three or four years and is always here when the doors open inthe morning. There are others who have been coming much longer than he, but he attracts more attention because he always car- ries a large round maguitying glass in his hand, which he uses when he reads Instead of specta- cles, He reads a great’ many biographies. There is another man who comes and calls for very cep selentitic works, chiefly works .

To the Editor of Tax Evexmxe Stan: Accorink, Va., January 318t, 1893, W. W. Griest, in his cominunteation of the 13th, takes It for granted that Fulton is entitled to the claim of tnrentor of the steanidoat. al- ludes to the “Lives of Eminest Mechanics.” That work, by Henry Howe, was published In 1854, and the author evidently considered Fitch as entitled to priority in the mvention, as bis meimotr ts the first one in the book. This extract from that work is suggestive: “The following account of Fitch’s experlinents, 1s written by one of bis early atrons, Dr. Thornton, of the Patent office at Washington, and ts entitled A short account or ih of the Steamboat: Mr. Robert Fulton, whose genius ghily respect, has been considered. by some the inveutor of Ue steamboat, L think It a duty to the memory of the late John’ Fiich to Set forth, with as much brevity as” possible, the fallacy Of this opinion, and to. show, moreover, Uiatit Mr. Fulton has any claim Whitever to originality In his steaimbout, 1b must be exceed- | ingly limited.” Dr, Thornton farther states that Fitch obtained from the states of New York, New Jersey, Penn- ianla and Delaware, in 1758, patents tor the alion of steam to haviguilon; Unat some time plied to tie states of Penusy k for patents, but that his ap- reused; Wat Pitch afterward went ¥ Invitation of Aaron Vail, esq., our Poricnt anxtous’ to “have but from the dimeulty obtaining workmen, the euterprise failed. itch returned to the United States, and Mr, Vail afterward subjected t ion of Mr. Ful ton the papers and designs of Fitch's steamboat. nee, the latter then ou after returned to the United’ States and bullt lis steamboat.
