Industrial Accidents
Double During Dark Months
Accidcut insurance statistics show that twice as
mauy injuries to factory operatives occur in
the dark winter months as during the light slim
mer months.
The cause principally is poor interior lighting;
too few lamps and pooi methods of illumina
tion. Had factory lighting also diminishes production
and adds to damaged material. '
Our lighting experts will plan installations for
workrooms and factories which will reduce the
personal injury list, increase production and
very likely decrease the expense of lighting.

When I think It over, it wns thnt

gong. onlv. of course, larger: but It
wnsn't n bit better than tho gong In

Tho Sheriff stonned to listen. Tho

Sllenco. oxcept for thnt gong, rolgnod

Even a woodpecker, Industriously
drilling nwny on a nearby to'onhnno

When tho Inst stroke of olovon hnd

turned over In bed with tho sclf-sntls-fied
notion that I hud mnuu nn Invest
ment that would stay by mo and back
up my Judgment.
In tho morning when I got up I
found that my Seth Thomas had
Btoppcd at 3:30 a. m., and hnd Bot
tled down to a still, quiet hush. I
was not much dlncourngod, for it
struck mo that the shelf was not ex
actly horizontal, I stuck a pleco of
blotting paper under one of Its turtlo
like legs, and started it going again;
nnd when the hired girl snld thnt she
"didn't think that clock wns no good"
I lost my temper nnd fired her.
For fear people might mlsjudgo
me, I will sny hero thnt Sophia is
working for us now, when sho feels
llko it and I " -'M further, thnt
no clock can come botween us.
That night when I cpmo homo tho
thing had stopped again. I got an
other blotter and crammed part of It
under nnothor leg, wound It up, nnd
started off in n gladsome manner,
llko It was going to make up for all
tho tlmo It had lost. I sat up and
read until about 10 o'clock, and alt
tho whllo it ticked and struck beau
tifully.
Dofore going to bed I wont In and
took ono last look at that clock. The
woman with the dogs nnd llttlo cupId
looked peaceful "', ntlroly satisfied
with their lots; the pendulum swung
back and forth with a steady move
ment, like It hnd settled down to a
suro Job and was content. The Btln
night -' '"Med with tho harmoni
ous rhythm of thnt song, whllo the
pendulum with its even mensured
swing, ticked off time to the music.
Thon I went to bed.
It may have been nn hour II
might hnvo been two when I wokw
up. Tho clock wns striking. I count
ed twelve; thon It struck thirteen
still I might havo boon mistaken
fourteen, that gavo my constitution
a norvous shock Thon I counted up
to fifty. Tho cold perspiration broke
out on mo nnd I began to think. Do
foro thnt clock had struck sixty-nine
I hnd reviewed all tho ensen thnt hnd
como to my knowledge of hallucina
tions wrought by overwork.
I wns Just getting rendy to stnrt In
on n spell of reformation nnd was
figuring wl'i'4' nd bettor call In
first a doctor or a prenchcr that
tlmopleco was still hammering nwny
when my wlfo called to mo and
nsked: "What'" tho matter with
your clock?"
It was like breaking loose from n
nightmare. T immediately Kavo up
all notion of pending for n doctoror
a prcachor, nnd. llko a man wholly
without fear, I got out of bed nnd
marcho'' Into tho room whoro my
wlfo sleeps and wnntcd to know what
sho was worrying her hend about that
clock for.
"Why. It h struck 247 times, or
had when I called you, nnd It Is not
through yet."
And sho snld "my clock." It was
plain to mo that In tho future thero
would bo no ono to share with mo tho
responsibilities of that clock. This
naturally mado mo sordid and out of
condition. Mentally I was keoplng
track of tho stroko 320 321.
I finally broko looso nnd tnlV"-' in
a tongue thnt was nlmost new to my
folk: thon I grabbed my revolver and
Hworo. bl'Chlorldo of mercury, if It
struck boyond 400, I'd shoot ' '"
Its vltnlB; p ' ' -rv ihot gun right
In tho fnco of the hollo of California
as I called that rrenturo on tho
clock and hold It thoro.
My wlfo got up nnd enmo down
whoro I was. I callod that clock
Romo nwful nnmos. If tho mnkor of
It hnd boon nround ho cortnlnly
would hnvo folt tough.
Whothor It was tho Influonco of
mind ovor mattor, I cannot say; but
ns suro as tho world Is a foot across,
that clock struck Just 400 and quit.
Tho next ovonlng when I enmo
homo to punpor. I heard Sophln sing
ing a swo'io song in too Kitcnon.
Thnt clock Is still there, nnd It In
still still. It Is decorntod ovory
Christians nnd on my birthday with
ribbons and thon presented to mo by
my fnmlly ns a present. I am sore.
