YVatcliinakers Suy That Stidilpit Cltniigea
of XVeutlier Are Dungcrotis to These
Uncertain ricces of Mechanism—Maln-
sprlngs in Kxponsivo XVatehes.
"Mainsprings nro very much like peo
plo,” said a Broadway watchmaker tho
oilier day. "They are as susceptible to
extreme degrees of heat and cold ns
human beings, When the thermometer
is hovering around the freezing point or
dancing away up in the nineties the lit
tle mainspring will givo up iti disgust
and uncoil itself and die, just ns men
succumb to freezing or sunstroke.”
This uncertain piece of mechanism is
supposed to be adjusted to meet tho
various degrees of temperature, but
■when the chango is very great nnd
comes with short notice there is nothing
that can prevent them from snapping,
They nro made in Switzerland of tho
very finest quality of steel, absolutely
flawless. Very often tho watchmaker
t.ati detect a bad spring before putting
it in tho watch, either by its color or
the softness of its spring. These hnvt
been too highly tempered in the. making
and instead of being subjected to merely
a red heat the fire has been brought to
white heat, thus weakening tho strengll
of the metal. The finest watches that at
handled by reliable dealers are put
through a "cooking and freezing” proc
ess before they are sold, for the purpose
of testing their reliability in all temper
utures.
1 lie watch is first placed in a little
metal box, which is made airtight
I hen a strong gas flame is turned
the under surface of tho box and is kept
there for two or three hours, so that the
watch is so hot at tho end of that timo
that it could not bo touched with tho
bare hand. From this it is immedi
ately taken and put into another me
lallic box which is buried in ieo. Thor
tlie costly watch is allowed to freeze
for an equal length of time, when its
torturo ceases and tho examination is
made. If during this excessive test the
watch appears to have ticked merrily
on without deviating a fractional part
of tv second it is placed back in tho case
and marked ‘ ‘guaranteed for two years.”
The mainspring is tho first pioco of
mechanism tliut succumbs to tlie test
If it survives nothing else need bo feared.
Mainsprings are, however, about tlie
only part of a watch that tho jeweler
cannot successfully diagnose. They can
guarantee any of the numberless littlo
wheels or pivots or balances that go to
make up tho anatomy of the watch, but
tho mainspring bus ns yet baffled tho
most skilled makers of watches of all
countries. It is not so much tlie sovero
extremes of tho woutlior that prove fatal
1o tho spring as it is tlie process of
changing from hot to cold.orvico versa
Like the human frame, if tho ribbonliko
littlo coil of stool can withstand tho ef
fects of this change it may be considered
proof against breukiug when the cliunge
to normal weather conies.
Many people who have boon possessors
of new watches but a short timo come
into the dealer's with blood in their eyes,
declaring that they have puid an enor
mous prico for tho timepieco and the
mainspring lias broken ufter only u
week's use.
That is nothing,” remarked tho jewel
er. "Woluvvo them snap in our case
beioro tlie watch has ever been shown
for sale." Others imagine that they
might have wound tho watch too tight
but this doos not harm it. It is rather
tho jerky, hurried winding that will
eventually toll on tho tompor of the
metal. Every good stem winder has 11
stop placed in the stem, which prevents
tlie windiug too tight.
Damp weather has aa ill effect
mainsprings, and in England they do
not as a rule last as long us in this coun
try. A severe thunder and lightning
storm also frequently proves disastrous
to tho durability of the spring. A dealer
who took in seventy-nine watches on one
day said that one suminei on a duy im
mediately following a terrific electrical
storm thoro were twenty-one watches
brought into his store within five hourn
for new mainsprings, The cost of a new
mainspring is tho small part of making
such repair. It is tho putting them in,
tho labor expended, that costs. It costs
from twelve to fifteen dollars to put a
mainspring i t tho Jurgensen watch and
a little less in a Patek Phillippe, while
in a cheaper American make it way
eurt'oiily fifty cents or a dollar.
A man purchased a $300 Jurgensen
from a leading dealer several years ugo
and shortly after he left for a tour
around tho world. He was gone a year,
and when ho returned ho went back to
tho dealer with his wutch and com
plained: "Hero’s a watch I paid you
$300 for a year ago, and while I was
traveling uhroad it lost two minutes
You guaranteed it, and I want you
make it good.” Tho watch was placed
in the window with this card
sidu it:
"This watch lost only two minutes
a year in a trip around the world. Price
$300.” It sold within an hour.
It is said that one bar of iron costing
$5 will produce $260,000 worth of main
springs.
Koine springs arc made in this country
by the manufacturers of cheap watches
Those springs are several feet long and
take nearly two minutes to wind uu.—

When Money Was Plenty,
Thoro is a class of men, particularly
in tho western country, who get into the
habit of stretching Iho truth of incidents
which occurred in their pioneer days un
til they become to believe them as facts.
One of the most scientific of tlieso is Jim
Hawthorne, whose home now is near
White Pino, Gunnison county. Here is
one of Jitn’s stories: “Mo "ml my pard-
ner,” he observed, "made more money
in them days than we knew what to do
with. For instance, when we had that
big government contract for wood we
was rolli 11 in money. Money was com
moner than chipmunks, und it wasn’
much good to us neither, ’ouuso wo duln’
have no stores to spend it at. That con
tract whs for 60,000 cords of wood. Wo
got $175 a cord, and we nmdo money
very easy.” “What was the government
doing with so much wood?” "Well, I
don’t know. Home of it was used by
the Indians. Tho government just had
it left around handy for clambakesj
“Clambakes?” “Why, curt; clambake)
wero very common In them days on the'
Platte." "Did you deliver tho full con
tract?" “No. We kind of lot up after
we had delivered 40,000 cords. Wo didn’t
want to bust tho government. I just
tell this to show you how plenty money
waa in them days."—Colorado Sun.
Kocne’a 1*1 pea.
A good deal has been written in vari
ous quarters with regard to the little
Elizabethan pipes in which the Into
Charles Keene took such great delight.
I cannot help thinking that tho persist
ent smoking of these pipes must havo
done no little injury to his health. The
pipes wero so short, they became so
charged with nicotine and ho so persist
ently smoked thorn ut every opportunity
that I cannot help thinking he must
have absorbed a largo amount of poison
into ltis system.
No one, unloss ho had smoked ono of
Keouo’s pipes, could have the least idea
of its strength. I remember trying one
at his studio one evening, nnd though a
pretty tough tohhaconuliau 1 shall never
forget how my head was affected and
all the pains I endured in consequence.
I had nil the symptoms of suffering
from tho effects of a powerful narcotic

An Appnrcnt Impossibility.
The phrase “squaring the circlo” is an
other way of saying "attempting an im
possibility.” Tho allusion is to the
mathematical question whether a circle
can bo made which coutaius exactly tho
same area ns a squaro, and tho difficulty
is to find tho prociso ratio between the
diameter and tho circumference of n
circle. Popularly it is 13. MOO, etc^ bat
the uumbors would go on to infinity.
This problem has given riso to an amount
of labor only equaled by that bestowed
upon tho equally impossible ono of dis
covering perpetual motion.—Brooklyn
Eagle.
Having to No PurpoHO.
It has sometimes happened that per
sons little deserving, and even rulers,
have reaped tho harvests which misers
have painfully sown. The life of Van-
dillo is a proof of this. This man lived
upon bread and milk, with the addition
of a small glass of sour wine on Satur
days. At his death I10 loft £800,000 to
♦he king of France. Audley, tho com
monwealth miser, saved £100,000, ull of
which reverted to tho government.—

Mnjor Hitchcock's Story of n Close Call.
“I was once sentenced to bo blown
from a gun,” said Major John Hitch
cock. “Iliad long been a resident of
that land of revolutions, Central Amer
ica. During one of tho semiannual po
litical upheavals I was captured by a
savage mob known as the army of San
Salvador and sentenced to death. In
tho camp of my captors a 6-pound gun
was fired at high noon by means of a
sunglass, and to tho muzzlo of this nn-
tiquated smoothbore I was strapped and
eft in the broiling sun to await my
*te. Now, I have faced several kinds
of death in my day, hut that knocked
all the nerve out of me. I could not
seo the small, fiery spot made liy the
sunglass, but 1 knew tliut it was creep
ing slowly but surely to the powder at
tho vent. I imagined I could hear the
powder hissing with tho heat. The
blazing sun beat down upon my bare
head, blinding me nnd seeming to boil
the blood in my veins. 1 became hys
terical nnd prayed and cursed by turn.
“The great clock in tlie cathedral was
on the stroko of noon, mid I knew that
the concentrated rays of the sun wero
pouring squarely upon the powder. The
troops were dozing in the shade. A few,
awakened by tho hell, raised up on their
ellxiws and watched me with lazy inter
est, expecting every moment to see 1110
blown to shreds. One—two—three-
four—five—with maddening delibera
tion came tho strokes of the bell, when
suddenly a harsher note was heard—the
roar of -musketry. Tho camp was sur
prised, and my captors driven were back.
Thu cords were cut, and I sat down be
neath tlitNnuzzle of tlie gun just as it
belched forth its midday salute.”—St,

An American Abroad#
Many Americana abroad aro exceed
ingly annoyed at their lack of skill in
the use of tlie European language
After a vain attempt to mako a Parisian
waiter understand French they swear at
him in English. Hut I have always re
membered when traveling abroad tlie
art of tlie physician who put all the re
mains of old prescriptions into one bot-
tle—tho oil und the calomel aud the
rhubarb and the asafetida—and when
ho found ft patient with a “complication
of diseases” lie would shako up his old
bottle nnd give him a doso. And so I
have compounded a language for Eu
ropean travel. I generally take a little
French und a little German niul a littlo
English, with a few snatches of Chinese
nnd Choctaw, anil when I find a stub
born ease of waiter or landlord that
will not understand I simply shake up
all the dialects and give him a dose. It
is sure to striko somewhere. If you
cannot mako him understand, you ot
any rato givo him a terrible scare.
I never had the anxiety of some in a
strange land getting thiugs to eat. I

not tho labor. If we could obtain tho
end we covet without exertion, which of
us would toil and sweat as a matter of

Adam himself was an indolent fellow.
Had it been otherwise tlie cultivation of
tlie soil would not have been imposed
upon him ns a penalty for his disobedi

told that I10 must live by tho swoat of
his face. Ho would havo preferred thu
life of a gentleman of leisure, aud most
of his descendants take after him in

must be simple; when it is not simple it is/

will impress the truth more forcibly. All metal, v
tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only,«
it absolutely safezmX unbreakable. Like Aladdin’s
