C. H. Brigden, a Los Angeles watch

ever made to run and to keep time with a
single wheel, and the wheel Is nut a gear
wheel but only a perforated disk, so that
the clock might be called a gearless clock.
A quarter-inch steel ball rolling on two
Inclined plates takes the place of pendulum
and gearing. This steel ball rolls over
the two inclined plates In Just a minute
and rolls off the lower plate Into the lower
hole of the dli-k, at the same time releasing
the disk, which ia always under tension
Imparted to It by two ball weight sus
pended ln towers.
The disk carries thirty balls on one side,
and when released by the rolling of the
ball from the lower plates ugalnst a lock
ing device, the disk turns the space of one
hole, or one minute, and brings the upper
most ball into position to roll on the top
plate and begin Its ilgzag course down the
two inclined plates, as did the preceding
ball. Each ball rolls over the plates once
every thirty minutes. Pacific Outlook.

AUTO SHOW AT THE GARDEN
Uadiaon fqnare to Ea cene of a
Macmfirsnt Pieplij.
ELABORATE AND ARTISTIC DECORATIONS
Outline of Scheme Klcerds Any that
Has Kirr Been Held In Ha
Scope and tienerst
Kffcrt.
An utterly new precedent for superb dec
orative schemes will In- set when 1 1 1 0 '
doors of Miullson Scpinrfl Harden opi-:i
for tho seventh national automobile show
that is to be held there during the week
of January 12 to 19. Not even at the Au
tomobile Salon of Paris, or ln any foreign
capital, has thee ever been attempted
anything like such an elaborate and artis
tic creation for a show.
When It Is said that more than $5O.fi0
Is being stient simply ln iscpnrlng the set
ting for the exhibits and that the Interior
of the garden will present a scene of daz
rllng beauty, only a vague Idea Is con
veyed of what Is to be presented. Those
who have .been privileged to see some de
tails of the preparations have been ns
toutided at their scope, even though fore
warned by tho general statement about
grandeur and expense. It Is .tlmost un
believable that so much clalmratlon ever
would lie entered upon for an automobile
show; It Is more on the scale of prepara
tions for the reception of some national
hero, such as that K'ven In New York
to Admiral LK-wcy on his return from the
Philippines. At least tho regality of the
cars will find an adequate setting nnd
tho whole will be worthy of the atten
tion of President Roosevelt' and the for
eign ambassadors, who have been Invited.
Tho motor cars will attract their usual
following of the public, but apart from
them the scenic surroundings will b9
worth a long trip to every lover of a t'or
Ecous spectacle.
Riot of Vivid Color.
The coloring will be ho vivid, varied and
harmoniously distributed as to elude de
scription In black and white, hut some Idea
of the ensemble may be had by those who
can picture In mind a palatl.il Swiss gar
den lu the late fall, or early winter be
neath an amber sky, spangled with pale,
silvery stars that blink a good-night to
tho sinking sun; all the mellow and flaming
glories of, autumnal foliage are playing
hide and seek about rustic arbors, anil
the coloring Is reflected uihjii pure white
statuary and in splashing fountains; the
green sward of the garden Is delicately
flecked ln white by the Hist desultory
flakes of a snow flurry, sent to tell of
the approach of winter; ln the perspective,
on all sides. Is Alpine scenery, with ham
lets, snuggling between snowy peaks, and
mountain lakes gleaming in the lingering,
refracted rays of the sunset hour.
Iist year the decorative plan was to
represent an Italian garden ln summer
time, with classic cortijees iJiout and a
color scheme of white and gold. It was
fine, but very cheap compared with what
Is being prepared for next month. This
winter more than $50,000 are being ex
pended on the decorating and It Is being
stient judiciously. According to 9. R- Ball,
the otlicial decorator, his llrst Idea after
obtaining the commission was to create
something as different ns possible from the
last show and to carry out to the utter
most whatever scheme was adopted. To
this end he made, a tour of Europe, gath
ering Ideas and models from prominent
artists for tho creation of the Swiss gar
den. Starry Sky nnd Snowy Enrtta.
Overhead the Iron girders of the big
show house will be concealed by a canopy
of amber hue, studded with 37,'iO silver
stars. The whole floor will bo covered
with a specially woven green carpet, with
white streaks and dots here and theie to
carry out the snow motif. The side walls
of the main flo r and platform will be
coia-euled by paintings designed to per
fect the Illusion of an Alpine perspective,
and at the Fourth avenue end will be a
huge canvas painted by well-known
creators of theatrical scenes and curtains.
In front of the pillars that support the
galleries will be heroic statues on pedestals,
eight on each side. One figure represents
the "Goddess of the Show," and was de
signed by a German sculptor; another Is
a winged Mercury, designed ln Paris. These
two figures are to be posed alternately
along the sides. At either end of the
bandstand will be unother heroic figure
representing "Triumph." Near the Miull
son avenue entrance will be a great foun
tain, twenty feet across the base and eight
fe-t in height. It will have three basins
and its several Jets will be illumined by
various colored lights. The spirit of the
fountain Is a nymph holding a dolphin.
and on the rim of the bowl will be sea
children, pouring libations from water
vessels held ln their hands. On each side
of the fountain will be allegorical statues
of heroic size and It will have a back
ground of natural plants and foliage. This
fountain Is a piece of work worthy of
permanency, for It contains some of the
best thought of the artist who designed it.
Forest Effect Indoors.
Stretching down through the center of
the garden, over tho Bnow-flecked verdure,
will be a rustic arbor made of white birch.
This will be Intertwined with autumn foil
age, with varl-colored electric bulbs scintil
lating among It. The stairways from the
floor to the elevated platform also will be
of rustic work. Several carloads of while
birch were brought from the Adirondack
especially for this work and It, too, will be
worthy of permanency. The central rustic
bower Is a masterpiece ln that It combines
the maximum of attractiveness with the
minimum exaction upon the valuable floor
space. The arlior has a sloping roof that
la supported solely by pillars rising to the
peak and at the ground pillars are the
stanchions of rustic scats. These seats are
not double, or dos-a-dos, but alternately
face each way, so that each exhibitor gives
up the seating room for only half the
length pf his space.
The general picture will not be marred
by any visible railings. Those of the ele
vated platform will be concealed by art
novcau pointings, Introduced so as not to
have too much mountain scenery, and thla
portion of the work will be further en
riched by drapejies of wine-colored silk.
In all, more than 20,000 yards of draperies
will be employed. The demarcation of the
spaces of exhibitors will be by mean: of
narrow strips of wooden moulding, finished
in forest green. The desks and chairs and
all the furniture of the exhibitors, also,
will have this tone of forest green.
In the restaurant, off the foyer, the same
general scheme will be carried out, but In
the concert hall, there will t a complete
departure, and in the basement and the
rathskeller will be other totally diffetent
schemes, so that the visitors may roam
about gllmislng new beauties. In the con
cert hall, the scheme will be Persian, with
columns, draperies, rugs and panels of
oriental design. In the basement, the
scheme will be delft and bite, the walL
being covered wltn delft burlap and the
brick pillars with Dutch paintings, while
the celling will he draied In white. The
rathskeller and grotto will lie decorated
with English paintings and panels of Span
ish leather, hand tooled and depleting vari
ous scenes. Everywhere the id4 of autumn
merging Into winter will be tarried out, but
without coldness. The old garden will lose
Its Identity completely In ft wealth of wantl
concealing ruler.
I.ealslntlnn for the Anto.
"Is the winter of I'.Ml-O to witness an.
other outpouring of that stream of legisla.
tion whh h rises to floodtldo annually and
Is only dammed by tho adjournment of thrt
various state legislatures In U10 spring?''
asks the Motor World. "The most char
itable thing that can be said of It as a
whole Is that It Is misguided, and liko
charity itself this term represents a veil
that covers a multitude of sins. It covers
those backhanded attacks on one section
of the community at the bock of another,
because that other was responsible for the
election to ofllce of the attacking force;
It covers that blind prejudice that docs not
want to see or deal fairly with both sides
of a case, and last, but not least, It covers
the awful disregard of tho Interests of a
growing Industry to serve political ends.
"thi top of all this Is the petty spirit ot
biased prejudice with which the legislation
brought to light under such unfavorable;
circumstances Is enforced and Interpreted.
Abolition of speed r sti ictlons or a reason
able limit consistent with the drcnmstancnsi
where one is Imposed; one state license
and number, if any, that shall be uni
versally recognized In all other states, and
the lighting of every vehicle that uses tha
road after nightfall constitute three essen
tial points that should lie strenuously
fought for nt every state legislature during
the approaching sessions. It has been the
policy of various organizations In years)
past to lie low to be content with what
they had rather than fly In the face of
evils they rocked not of In an attempt to
Improve things.
"But the decision to let well enough alone
did not serve to leave them In that ob
scurity that seenwd so desirable. They
were draggi-l forth Into the limelight any
way by being forced to fight pet-niclnua
measures that might never have seen tha
light had they been forestalled hy a de
termined attempt to pass , reasonable bill.
I'ndoulitedly tho majority of motorists
would lie content to let well enough alone
where legislation Is concerned, hut tho leg
islatures will not permit them to do so.
I)n niter of the I,n.
"Experience has demonstrated that a set
speed limit Is but tin opening to tho cupid
ity of rural enforcers nnd Interpreters of
the law, nnd experience has also Bhown that
until time has considerably softened this
bucolic prejudice the Motorist will bo re
garded as le;;ltimute prey. Hence there
should be either a total abolition of speed
limits, with full power to nrrest and flna
for driving to the common danger, which
exists outside vof any legislation and al
ways has, or the limit Imposed should be
consistent with the circumstances, not so
low that its proper observance is next to
Impossible nor so high as to invite reckless
ness. "In accordance with the constitution
each state must give full fori and effect
to the public acts of nil the others, and
comity has extended this principle to acts
and regulations not technically Included
within Its provisions, so there are two ex
cellent reasons why every state should reo
ognlze the licenses Issued by others. Iast.
but not least, there Is that hugnhoo of
every rural legislator a universal light
ing 1)111. An automobile Is compelled to
carry three lights a wagon none. Certainly
these are reasonable things to ask for, and
not alone reasonable, but a matter of ab
solute right. It accordingly behooves every
organization not to await attack, but to
carry the light Into the enemy's camp by
demanding those rlghtB which shall place
the automobllist on tho same piano of right
and privilege as other users of the high
way." WHY BURGLARS FEAR WOMEM
They Have More Courage Than Men,
Says a Veteran of tho
Profession.
"Unless you know where you're at and
Just what stuff you're going to get and
have It all doped out In advance as to
how you're going to get Into the phtce, tha
game Is no good any more," explained a
professional house burglar ln a Wubuslt
avenue saloon the other night.
"Why, Ned, what's the trouble?" he was
asked.
"Well, tho women have got so suspicious
of us fellows." he replied, "that they hava
made It almost impossible for us to get
Into a house unawares. The women are tha
"1 have not been active lately, but my pals
greatest Inventors that I know. It Is mar
velous to me that there haj not been aa
Edison among thuni."
Ned's last name Is Cady, and his picture
Is In the rogue's gallery because he has
served one term in tho penitentiary for
burglary, and he is not a man who U
ashamed of his vocation. He was talking
about home-made burglar alarms when ha
praised women as being greit inventors.
"You see," said Cady, "when a man wiuiti
to go into a house In the night time ho
don't want to tumble over a cnriet or bear
a tin pan fall. As soon aa anything Ilka
that happens he Is going to run, for ha
knows mighty well that there is a womaa
ln the house laying fur him."
"How about the huhand?" ho was asked.
"Shucks with the men. I am not afraid'
of any of 'em, but I could never tackle a
