H x : - - - - - w - if tiykssv tV X I NEW YORK. June 10. (Special.) Rumor says that Mrs. Smith Hol lins Kim will surely marry Alfred Vanrterbllt as soon as she obtains a di vorce. Mrs. McKim was Margaret Em erson, daughter .of Baltimore's multi millionaires Captain Isaac Emerson. Her soctal conquests have interested two continents. Last year she was the sen sation of Newport. For this season she has taken the Newport villa of Henry White, our Ambassador to France. It Is nearby Harborvlew," the extensive Newport estate of Elsie French Vander bilt, the divorced wife of Alfred Vander bilt. who Is now traveling abroad. Mrs. Elsie Vanderbilt suddenly changed her Plans and decided not to return to New port until tfte end of the Summer season. The latest Anglo-American alliance is that of Miss Ida M. Wynne, whose en gagement to Lieutenant Hugh Ronald French is announced. Miss Wynne is the second daughter of Robert J. Wynne who has been Consul-General at London for some years and waa at one time Postmaster-General. Mr. French - is a First Lieutenant in the Seventh (Princess ItoyaU Dragoons. He belongs to the old Irish family of which Lord de Freyne is the head. The family is wealthy, the Lieutenant having a large private in come. Miss Wynne spent most of last Winter in Washington, where she was much admired. She is pictured in the presentation, gown which she wore at Buckingham Palace when she was pre sented to the King.

A silver service was presented to the battleship Mississippi at Horn-Island on June 1. The money for this silver serv ice was raised by popular subscription, permitted by special act of the Mississippi Legislature. The amount raised was J7500. Probably no presentation to a vessel of the United States Navy has caused so much commotion, owing to the fact that on one of the pieces Is en graved a picture of Jefferson Davis. Rep resentative David A. Hollingswrth in troduced a resolution in the House call ing on the Navy Department for an ex planation as to why this picture was permitted to be engraved on this piece of silver. To Mrs. Eunice M. Lockwood, of Crystal Springs. Miss., was largely left the choice of the design. She waa the means of raising most of the popu lar subscription Dorothea Louise Bauer is the daughter of the director of the department of re search into terrestrial magnetism of the Carnegie Institution at Washington. She christened the yacht Carnegie at the launching at Tebo s yacht basin in Brook lyn June 12. The Carnegie is the non magnetic yacht of the Carnegie Institu tion, which is intended for observations to determine the magnetism of the deep seae. . , The class of '09 celebrated ivy day at Barna.d College June 3. The sweet girl graduates marched in procession from Mllbank Cloister through Mtlbank Quad rang, where they planted the class ivy almost tearfully. They listened to the steps oration by Olga Rilke and the Ivy oration by Lillian Closson. They sang tne class song, composed by Ethel Hod son, and they unveiled a tablet in-memory of the class of '09. Then they danced a very pretty dance around the maypole on the quadrangle green. - w'a ,P5.tOBra,p5, of Mrs- Leonard Wood, wife of General Wood, was taken at the eBN " ? lht annt,aI rard6n Party o? the New York- branch of the Army Relief Association at Governors Island.

Observatory Where "Woo." l8 Flasted MO.OOO- A FEW minutes before 12 o'clock noon every day in the year a joung man walks into a certain room of the main building at the Naval Observatory, which Is set up on a hill In the northwestern part of the District of Oolumbla. He glances -at the various clocks in the room and then goes over to a table which Is covered with electric apparatus. He watches the clocks to his left closely and waits for the hands to reach five mlnutea of 13. As the second hand ap proaches the 60 on the dial he prepares to shift a switch. The clock is so finely adjusted that when the second hand points to 60 It exactly marks the egin ning of a new minute. As it touches the 60 the switches are thrown on. That starts a signal that goes out instantaneously over 900.000 miles of telegraph lines. In Washington. New York. Buffalo. Cleveland. Newport. Bal timore, Newport News. Norfolk, Savan nah. New Orleans, Key West. Galveston, Chicago and elsewhere the time balls go up on their poles. People know that It Is five minutes before noon, Washing ton time. The clock which keeps the time in the observatory ticks on. With each tick there Is a contact of electric points. A circuit Is closed and an instrument on the table similar in appearance to a telegraph sounder ticks away loudly. It goes on to the twenty-ninth second, then skips one tick, then resumes its steady sounding until tlie last five sec onds, then there is another gap. These caps are for the purpose of giving listen ers at other ends of the great svstem of wires a. chance to know what part of the minute the clock is on. So It goes up to woi minute. At the twenty-ninth second there is again the skipping of one secorwf. Finally around to the fiftieth sec ond. Then the circuit remains open for ten seconds. There is silence all along the telegraph wires. n4 whf, other e"ds. where there are alU ,r merelv fain operators, the IhlPae indlcates that no"n is almost mT" , . sf cond hand makes on toward theft ? reacnes the mark. Then there Is another click, in about a second Jlll 18 down' and that tells hun dreds of thousands of people that it' Is LrvV" Waslnston. that the Naval Ob! servatory, says so, and the Naval Ob- keS 'f-,"0-' ne of the hesftrnte keeping institutions In the United States. II is a wonderful operation, this get FniJ ' tim.eV, nd h'Shly technical. eIy austed clocks, chronographs and other Instruments of great value are used, and the taking and recording- of the time has reached a point where the human equation is practical ly eliminated. The results obtained are of great val ue, particularly to mariners. The time is not only flashed to hundreds of points In the United States, but it Is sent far out to sea by wireless. A ca ble carries the flash to Havana, an other sends It down to Panama and Callao, Peru. The observatory here does not send the time much farther west than the Rockies, but they have an observatory at the Mare Island Navy-Yard, and from there the tima is sent up and down the Pacific Coast. Just as it Is from here to the eastern part of the United States.- In the cities where the central time Is used the flash marks 11 o'clock. An hour later local opera tors drop thex tlmo balls. The mean time Is determined by as tronomical, observations. When certain stars pass the 75th meridian, called the meridian of Washington, it Is a cer tain time. The operator watches for the stars through a telescope, the field of which is covered with fine wires. As the stars reach a certain . point in transit the operator presses a key in his hand. A contact Is made and recorded on a chronograph. The chron ograph consists of a cylinder covered with paper. A fountain pen rests on the paper. It Js held by an arm at tached to he mechanism. 'The cylinder revolves once a minute and the pen moves along the surface of the paper making a spiral line. A sidereal clock of the finest make is runniug in a vault underneath the observatory. With each tick of the clock there is a contact of two points. These two points are attached to wires that lead to an electro-magnet attached to the arm that holds the pen of the chronograph. The clock is so adjusted that each minute the pen Jumps to one side. Consequently there Is a break in the line. There are other breaks, too. when the observer watches the stars cross the lines in the field of the telescope. The mean time thus recorded for each star after being corrected for errors Is the clock time of the star's transit. Whatever difference there Is between this r 1 rw-V rirriA nn4 th, t 1 , j - - - i ' '.. oiucicai LIITie marked by the transit of the stars Is eiror oi ine ciock. from these astronomical observations the .sidereal time is obtained. The error amounts to but little, larely bein more than !?fl'f one-hundredth, to ten one hundredths of a second. The sidereal blocks are wonderful pieces of work. They were made in BerluTb" a. man named Riefler. There are two of the clocks in the observatory buTldimr here, and a third Riefler clockte "n the of the building., The room which "on! tains them is small.

For this purpose the Is a tberostat"- delicately made that the increases X L?t caused by the presence cf a human b-S ISdteT1"' nly r The clocks are In large e1as four or five feet higha.nd sealed. The cylinders are fastened to stone pillars which rea.h dow tl! ground and do not touch any part of i flooring. Thus there 1. no change of v.! brations affecting the clock except r,m earthquakes, and such happenings ae beyond the .control of 'he scientist! The clock winds Itself every 30 seconds by means of a small weight.' The fall of the weight moves the clock. When the weight reaches a oertUn -point a small electromagnet becomes operative, and the weight is picked up. to start on it. down! ward course again, giving enough power to keep the clock going. v There are two clocks wh'i-h may be used in automatically sendnsf out th time, so if one should break down the other woull be ready for th3 emergence These clocks aca made accicato by com parison with the stdereU clocks The time of ending a flash over the wires is nracti ally nothing, a fla-.b has reached Gr;epw cti.

(Special.) -A youth of 16, named George Gelst, a baker's ap prentice in Kronach, Bavaria, followed his mistress yesterday into the store room and killed her with repeated blows of a hatchet. The woman's child of 5 entering the room, Geist took her up by the legs and dashed her brains out against the wall. Then he hung the bodies to a beam to convey the impression that the woman had committed murder and suicide. Geist took his victim's purse, containing J75 from her pocket. He remained in the neighborhood, and even set inquiries about as to the whereabouts of his mistress. Guardian, but Not Garden. LONDON, June 19. (Special.) Newspa per editors are not usually surprised at anything which happens, but the chief of a leading provincial daily confesses he was rather taken aback the other day when a railway official rang him up on the telephone and said they had a buffalo waiting to be forwarded to him. "A buffalo?" he replied. "What on earth do I ' want with one?" "But you're the 'Guardian aren't you?" asked the railway man. "Yes," said the editor, and It was only after he had sent a representative round to the station that the mystery was solved. The buffalo had in reality been consigned to the- "Gardens," where there Is a zoological collection. The similar ity In the names had led to the railway officials'' amusing mistake.
