PANES OF POSTAGE STAMPS.
And the Plate Number*, Letter* or
Symbol* They Carry.
All our postage stamps are printed
In large sheets of 400 stamps each.
These are then cut Into four "panes"
of 100 stamps each and sent to the
various postofflces In that shape.
If you were to go to any United
States postofflce and buy a complete
"sheet," or, more correctly speaking, a
complete "pane," of 100 stamps you
would And that It bad on two sides an
outer margin, and on each of these
margins would be a number. This Is
the number of the plate from which
that pane was printed. Under this
number the authorities keep a record
of the plate, the date of Its making,
on what days It was In use, the quan
tities of stamps printed from It and all
such data.
These plate numbers are usually ex
pressed In figures or letters or combi
nations of both, but sometimes other
symbols are used, such as the "star"
plates of recent date. Many stamp
lovers form what are called "plato
number collections"—that Is, a collec
tion In which every stamp still has at
tached to It the outer margin bearing
the plate number. The object is, of j
course, to get every plate number that
was ever issued.
It Is Interesting and curious, too, be
cause the stamps are arranged wltb
the plate numbers In sequence, making
them look very different from an ordi
nary collection. For Instance!, plate
No. 253 is a five cent postage stamp,
while the next three. 254, 255 and 250, :
are postage due stamps. Plate 257 Is i
a special delivery, and 258 a newspa- i
per stamp. So a collection of these in !
sequence Is very varied and Interest- j
ing.
And, again, many of the plates were 1
In use at a time when the color of the i
stamp was changed, and the same j
plate number may be found upon both
colors, as the one cent blue and the
one cent green, or the ten cent green
and the ten cent brown, the fifteen
cent blue and the fifteen cent olive. !
Such a collection shows a wide range
of shades that Is of great interest to
a collector.—St Nicholas.

A CLOSELY GUARDED CLOCK
It Is the Most Accurate Timekeeper
Man Has Devised.
In the Case School of Applied Science
In Cleveland there is a clock that holds
the world's record for accurate time
keeping. Over a period of several
months it showed a variation of only
eight-thousandths of a second a day,
which in a year's time would be less
than three seconds.
Ship chronometers, which are the
most accurate time measuring Instru
ments In genera! use. cannot keep true
time within less than three to five sec
onds a mouth. Marine observations
are absolutely dependent on accurate
timepieces, but ship's officers have to
be satisfied if they can adjust their
chronometers so that they will either
gain or lose a certain amount each day.
Then they add or subtract and get ab
solutely correct time. In plotting rec
ords of a ship's timepiece its desirabil
ity is judged by a line that ascends or
descends with absolute regularity. If
the line rises and fulls the instrument
ts worthless.
The Case clock stands on a stone pier
Independent of the building that ex
tends sixteen feet to a natural shale
foundation. It is in a small room sur
rounded by two other rooms, all built
with brick walls. Gas stoves heat the
outer rooms, and electric contact ther
mometers regulate the temperature.
The gas stove flame automatically rises
or falls with the variation In the out
side air temperature. Thus on warm
days in August the flame in the gas
stove Is very low, while In below zero
January it burns at its brightest In
the clock room itself the temperature
Is adjusted by an ordinary sixteen can
dle power Incandescent lamp that is
flashed on and off by another electric
contact thermometer. The school strict
ly enforces the rule that there must
never be more than two people in this
Inner room at one time.
The clock, which stands five feet
high, has three separate dials that reg
ister the hours, minutes and seconds.
It is inclosed in an airtight glass Jar,
Inside of which are delicate Instru
ments for measuring temperature, at
mospheric pressure and moisture. A
small amount of chloride of ilme, which
Is an efficient desiccating material, is
kept always in the jar to absorb the
moisture.
By the aid of a set of dry batteries
the clock automatically winds itself
every seven minutes. The movement
Is adjusted slow or fast by pumping
air in or out of the glass container.
Observations are made from the out
side through double glass windows
through the separating walls and by
means of a small electric lamp placed
over the dials.
Not only can this wonderful piece of
clock mechanism be adjusted to show
