A MINER'S | Building a Wonderful Clock With | Poor Tools in the Depths of ) INGENUITY ‘ | a Conl Field | A mechanical marvel, the product | of nine years' patient toil on the part of an unlettered miner, who mado it in his *‘spare hours” in tho Hallen back Colliery at Wilkesbarre, 2,000 | feet below the surface of the earth, | has just been completed in the shape | of a'clock, by James McGlynn It is | built on the plan ofithe “‘astronomical | cloek " recently exhibited in this coun | try, but is much more complicated in most of its parts, and derives an add- | ed interest from the manner its | construction, Nine years Me | | Glynun, having had much spare time | | on’his hands, thought he could turn it to agreeablo account by devoting | | his attention to wood-carving. He had no tools, and to the construction of these he first directed his attention | He butlt an engine to propel a lathe, | and from such seraps of old matorials | |as he founa lying loose around the | | colliery, put his lathe together, and commenced fashioning bits of wood | into whatever forms his fancy sug gestod. Then he conceived the idea | | of making a clock upon an elaborate scale, and went to work with the de- votion of an enthusiast, until at the end of nearly a decade he has produc ed a picce of mechanism that is cor tainly wonderful to contemplate, con sidering the eondition undor which it | was made. The clock stands abouat nine feet high; and is ineased in an elaboratoly catved case of black waluut, consist- | ing of 406 picces of pericet tinish Each of these piecos was turned in the the mine with a tool that would make a cabinet maker smile, being nothing less than a broken saw-file. Rut the | workmanship is perfeet, and the sym- metry of the seyeral parts would do credit to the best wood-carver in the country. “How did 1 wake my measurements?” said MeGiynn, reply to the inquiry of The Times's correspondent, with a shrug. Oh, 1 never run short of materials, If one thing doesn’t do I take avother, 1 have built a miniature engine m the Hallenback Mine owned by Mr, Par- rish, weighing only 15} ounces, and they say it is perfect. | used ter dollar picee for a circular crank. It really seems incredible that with with such tools as he exhibits, and in age such dreary surroundings as the depths of the mine afford, anything like the clock could be constructed, but there are plenty of witne mong MeGlynn's fellow workmen (o corrob- orate his story, and there is the clock itself. At first he experienced some difficulty in holding his lamp while he he worked. Tt did not show as good light any where as when carried in his hat the way miners usually carry their lamps in the mine, but the flame burn- ed the front of his hat away and wade it rather uncomfortable.” Then he made atin helmet, with a place to hold the lamp securely, and after that he had no trouble with bis lamp. In addition to the 400 turied pieces in black walnut which comprise the frame-work of the clock, it has 63 moving figures, actuated by machin ery, so deftly arranged as to produce interesting historical and biblical scenes. - It is the intention of the miner to make the number of figures a hundred as soon as his means,which are rather limited, shall afford suchan additional outlay. The front of the clock shows three balconies, rising above u massive aud elegantly carved pedestal, and upon these the moving figures appear, Tho lower baleony shows a procession of Continental soldiers, headed by a mounted General und marching past, while the old liberty bell proclaims its welcome notes of freedom, A sentr nal salutes the Continen pass, and justat the mome is opened from_an upper baleony and reveals olly Pitcher, with her can- non, which she tires with startling and realistic cf) To show how well the maker of the clock has considered the details of his handiwork he has placed a swall revolving fan in the clock, to actuate after the firing of Molly’s won, for the purpose of clearing out the powder Sinnltarcous with this the portraits of the 20 presi- |dents of the United States pass in | panorumic review on a balcony just above the patriotic tableau, of which | Molly Pitcher is the central figure,and Thomas Jefferson holds up the De- claration of Independence, The apos tohie 8 is similar t eession those in such clocks, The Apostles file past. Satan ap and the WS N warning » of justice rm of Christ ap pears, and during the seene a large ro presentation of death tells off the min utes upon a bell. When one soes the | clock, the tools with which it was made, and hears the miner's story of raises how he bought the wood for it bii by bitas he could afford from his spare cha ge, he is sensibly impressed with human possibilitics, ““Sometimes,” says MeGlynn, “I could not buy more tha its” worth of woodat a time, but T was neveridle.” He was work- ing at the clock five long years in a chamber of the mme beforé anybody knew his sceret. Then he was taken sick, and, during his ravings, talked continually of his plans, The doctor tinally ascertained from him what it was that worried him, and made him promise not to work at it for a year; but as soon as he was able to go to the mine he wa his clock once more, and toiled patiently along until he had itina shape to show his fricnds. The figures used gn the Biblical and historical illustrations were cast by him in olds of his own de ign, and there is very little in the en tire clock that did not come from his Lands, Now 1t t tinished I HCArC knows what to do with it He has been offered 1,000 for it, but he hesitat to sell, as if he did he would have to drift back to his old lace in the Hallenback Mine and and probably begin building another, | e Warm the Chicken Feed. After an experience of several sea- sons we have adopted the eyetem of warming the food all through the winter and cold weather, both morn- ing and evening, and we attribute the excellent laying qualities of the fowls, in a great measure, to doing this. The food, whether whole or broken, grain or other food, citherdry or moiste should be warmed well before fe ing, Some breeders, as well as farm. | vie, hving on carrion and sharing his e | still a lyou and are assured it is beneficial, Where | new, unseasoned corn is chicken food, this parching is a decid ed t, for it makes it equally good for feeding as old seasoned corn Quite a number of poultry ailments are caused by feeding the new erop corn, and parching it will effectually prevent any trouble from that score Wheat, whichis no doubt the best Kind of grain for the laying fowls much better than much corn which latter fattens so quickly as fre quently to stop the production of egas tomporarily, is much improved by be ing heated well before being fed, and then given to the fowls while yet I feeding wheat 80 warn, not hot about two thirds as much by measure should be fod as of corn, and, wher fed in that manner, 18 very little, if 1y more expensive than corn. Good sound wheat only should be used, for whilo we see no objection to screen s, on the score of unhealthiness sereenings vive but little available COYOTE CHARACTH RISTICS Not Such s to Ins Terror---But n Proacher Thought So for All That Tevas Siftings In the unsettled intorior of Ameri ex, on the great plains is found the coyote The coyote is about two thirds the size of a yellow dog, and looks like a second-hand wolf 1t straightenod circumstances. He bear shout the same relation to the genu ine wolf that the buzzard does to Ui eagle, or that a chicken thief does t wodern bank cashier. He has setual air of being ashamed ofhim- | or of something hoe hus done, As you eateh a glimpse of him, trotting from one mott of timber to another, | lookir ack over his ears, and with | his tail furled around his left leg, ho looks as if he was aware that the po- | lice had a clew to his whereabouts, | and were working up his case. N | one ever saw a fat coyote. You may | cateh a young one, civilize him as| much as you can, feed him on eanned | groceries, and put a brass collar on | him, but his ribs will still be his most | prominent feature, and at favorable opportunity he will volun | tarily and ungratefully leave your| hospitable roof, and from choice e | come a roving vagabond on the prai meals with the buzzard. These pred. | atory shadows are not at all danger ous. There is no fight in them. That & popular fallacy regarding the ferocity of the coyote exists was illustrated not long © in the re marks made by a Northern preachor | in a sermon he proached shortly aftor | his arrival in the state. He said:| “Dear friends, methinks T see two men walking out on one of your beau tiful prairics. They enjoy the por. | fume of the flowers, the sengs of the innocent little birds, and. the culm, quict beauty of your glotious Indian summer evenings, Communing to gether, they walk along heedless of dunger. The sun sinks to rest beyond ¢he distant horizon; the curtain of | night gradually descends and closes out the light of day, still the two men k leisurely along, feeling safo and e, But hark! What sound that in the distance/ What bl curdling howl makes them arrest thoir steps’ It is, dear friends -it is the cry of ths wolves on their track - (le fierce and blood-thirsty coyote in hot pursuit, ah! And what, think y do these two unfortunate men One of them, my beloved congregation, realizes his danger, and running ‘o a tree, climbs up, by the aid of a coy venient branch, out of the re the cruel fangsof the relentless b of prey. He called unto his compan- ion and said unto him: ‘O my broth- ch out and take hold of this climb up here beside me, and be saved!” But the other saic there is no danger, the wolves are long way off. T have time enough.’ Alas! dear hear: while he was yet spoaking the dreadful coyotes came upon him, and rending him limb from limb, devoured him even in the twinkling of an eye. Thus it is, O careless and heed sinners, that you to-night stand,” cte, ete. When the preacher concluded the services and was leaving the cl he was accosted by old man (who has lived in Texas smice who said: “Parson, the front « your aiscourse was grand and ¢ and caleulated to blufl the wncony ed sinner.
