The recent combination of the
Vanderbilt railroad interests and
the Pennsylvania system makes
one of the biggest combinations
ever made in this country, which
gives them a capitalization of
$2,000,000,000 and a mileage of
80,000.

Tlie Age of tlie Water Clock.
As far back as 2636 B. C. a China
man named Hwang Ti discovered the
principle of the water clock, or “clep
sydra.”
It was a very crude instrument, chief
ly for astronomical purposes, and was
committed to the care of an officer
known as the “clepsydra adjuster.” It
consisted of two copper vessels, one
above and one below, the former hav
ing a hole in the bottom, through
which the water percolated into the
latter, where there was a float, the
gradual rise of which indicated periods
of time. Portable contrivances of this
description were sometimes carried on
horseback.
Instruments constructed on the same
principle were in use among the Chal
deans and Egyptians at an early pe
riod. The invention in western Asia
was independent of that in the east,
both being the result of similar wants.
Clepsydras were subsequently formed
of a series of vessels communicating
by tubes passing through figures of
dragons and other images, the whole
being rendered yet more ornamental
by floats held between the hands of
genii.

R. SMITH,
\ A Walking Fern.
Most ferns are confirmed travelers.
New fern leaves grow out.from the un
derground roots some distance away
from the old plant. The average ob
server scarcely notices this, but there
is a native fern that steps off at so
lively a pace that its odd habit has
long furnished one of the unceasing
entertainments of the woods. The
walking fern often carpets ledges and
tops of shaded rocks* The slender,
tufted leaf fronds are singularly un-
fernlike in appearance. They squirm
about and “walk” by declining their
taper tips to the soil and taking root
there and growing. In time clusters
of new leaf fronds spring from such
rooted tips. By and by some of these,
too, bite the earth and, taking root,
start still other colonies, which in turn
will continue the progress again and
again. Naturally, with the lapse of
time, the connection between the older
tufts and the younger becomes broken,
yet one sometimes finds series of three
or four linked together, representing as
many steps in the pretty ramble.—

Tlie Woodcock.
The food of the woodcock consists of
worms, leeches and grubs, which the
bird seeks by probing with its bill the
earth of such swamps as contain them.
There are miles and miles of wet
swamp lands among onr hills where
the soil, composed of peat and de
cayed leaf mold, is too cold and sour
to hold worms. Into such swamps the
woodcock never goes. The best wood
cock ground is along the banks of
woodland brooks that wind in and out
through alder swamps, where the rich
black mold is soft and full of worms
and where the skunk cabbage and hel
lebore grow thick and broad leafed.
Such places are the woodcock’s dining
rooms, and in them he leaves his sign
manual, the oblong, almost triangular
holes which dot each and every square
foot of earth where a worm might pos
sibly lurk.—Outing.
The farmers throughout this

of the cotton is now open, and the

Tke Baggage Smasher's Wisdom.
The other day an express wagon
filled with trunks rattled up Broad
way, and just opposite the postoffice
a big Saratoga slid off and came
crashing down on the car tracks. Sev
eral people ran out from the sidewalk
to rescue it, but the trunk proved to
be empty, and there was little dam
age done. “Now, if that had been
full,” said one old gentleman to the ex
pressman, “you’d have had a fine old
time with it.” “Huh,” replied the bag
gage charioteer scornfully, “full trunks
don’t fall off by theirselves. You got
to fling them off!”—New York Com

An ex-postmaster was one of a
group in a city hall corridor recently
engaged in discussing queer manifes
tations of jealqusy on the part of
young men in love, a dispatch in the
morning pdpers having given rise to
the conversation. He said that the
most jealous man he ever had knowl
edge of applied for a position in the
postoffice. He brought such excellent
recommendations that the postmaster
was moved to wonder that the young
fellow did not go into mercantile life.
Pressed for a reason, he finally con
fessed that he was giving up a better
position J,n order that as an employee
of the postoffice he might not only get
his fiancee’s letters the sooner, but also
might learn whether or not she re

In some of the London courts there
are private dining rooms reserved for
the exclusive use of the legal frater

there bustled a gaunt female who on
being courteously approached by a
junior counsel flatly declined to leave.
Thereupon an uublushing Q. C. looked
the lady in the face and expressed his
mind. Still she did not budge. Coun
selor Lockwood then intervened. “I
do not think there is anything unseem

The lady went.—London Tatler.
