Electric Storms Sometimes Stop
Them.
"A watch may need cleaning when
it Is not dirty at all," said a watch
maker. “This sometimes accounts
for a great deal of misunderstanding
between the owner of a new watch
and the watchmaker to whom It is
brought for examination. Further
more a watch which has never been
worn may need cleaning.
“A common reason is that oil In a
watch may have dried up around the
pivot and become stickly, thus caus
ing a watch to go very slow or to
stop entirely, in which case, of course,
it needs not only cleaning but the
addition of fresh oil.
The oil which is considered best
for watches is mule from the por
poise or black fish jawbone. These
oils have a most disagreeable odor
and have to lie treated chemically be
fore being used.
"The skeleton of the fish, with only
the head left oil, is hung in the hot
sun for several days and the oil al
lowed to ooze cut slowly All the
volatile parts of the oi! are naturally
neutralized in this manner and the
oil collected is said to remain fluid
and clear when it comes in contact
with metal fer as long as ten years.
"Makers of chronometers are es
pecially scrupulous in the preparation
of oils owing to the accuracy which
is demanded of these delicate time
pieces and often prepare the(r own
oil by mixing porpoise, sperm, olive
and neatsfooi and a small quantity of
mineral oil. When these oils are mix
oil it U customary to keep them in
an uncorked bottle exposed to the
sun. This is done to allow all for
eign anil coloring substances to fall
to the bottom, after which the oil Is
filtered through a mixture of charcoal

flocks sometimes stop running for

them to stop abruptly, only to resume
their regular functions with as much

QUESTIONS.
Pa," inquired a small boy on t.h
kland boat, according to the San
Francisco Chronicle, "what's a
moon?"
Huh," brunted the man, without
looking from his paper, "Simpson
andstorm on the desert, dreaded V
travelers."
"And. pa. what's a honeymoon?"
"Honeymoon's rice storm on
rain, enjoyed hv travelers."
Then a honeymoon's something
ke a simoon, ain't it, pa?"
Guess so; keep quiet; don't ask so
many fool questions; look at the sea
gulls."
But ain't they a good deal alike, pa
intoons and honeymoons?”
Ugh-huh. both fullof hot air. Most
honeymoons become simoons in a few
ears. When the honey's gone the
sigh's left."
Pa. were you ever in a honey
moon?"
“Percy, if you don't stop pestering
me with questions I'll never bring you
over to the city again."
Well, nia said she had a honey
moon, anil it was like a dream, and all
the rest of It's been a nightmare.
TAKING HIS MEASURE.
"Do you ever drink to excess?" ask
ed the girl's father, according to the
Philadelphia Ledger.
"I never touch liquor of any kind
sir." "How about tobacco?”
"I do not smoke. I have never had
a oirgar or a cigarette in my mouth.
"Ever gamble?"
"Never. I do not know one card
from another."
“I suppose you swear sometimes
"No, sir. An oath has never passed
my lips.”
Um. All right. Come out and
have a stick of candy with me.’
