to any one who would invent an accu

lal * ,r an<i stu ' l y ^ invention was an

'entor, one John Harrison, did not re
ceivo the reward for his labor until Sept.

Keyless watches have been known for

general use.
It would take columns to enumerate
nil the dainty and wonderful little time
P ieC0rt that have been made during the
past 100 years. They have been made
not larger than pease, and set in rings
for phyniciaiis to facilitate the counting
of tiie pulse. They have been fixed in
bracelets, brioches, eye glasses, tops of
umbrella handles and even on the ends

in 1333 a watchmaker of Dresden ex

WONDER OF THK NINETEENTH CENTERY.
An ingenious prisoner at fvariuus. Bo
hemia, recently constructed a watch,
eight centimeters in diameter, with rio
other tools or material except two nee
dles. a spool of thread, a newspaper and
some rye straw. The wheels, posts and
cogs are ail made of tiie rye straw,
which, it is well known, is quite coarse
and toUgll. It runs six lvolM‘8 WillnjUt
winding and keeps good time. It is now
in possession of the prefect of K aria us,
who considers it the greatest marvel of
tiie Nineteenth century.
The most ingenious, perfect and com*
plex wateli ever manufactured was sent
out from the works of Patck. Phillippe
–Co.. of Geneva, Switzerland, m July,
1*377, a ,„i | 8 ikiw in the po.-m-ssimi of
Baron Nicholas. It is what is known an
the lull size.nl “hunter." On one side
there is a dial of the regulation kind, ex
fiihiiing t!ie hour, minute and second
hands, also an independent chrome
graphic hand which marks the lirtbs
() f seconds. The* some dial has rspeat
ing mechanism, which strikes tiie hours,
quarters and minutes.
The opposite dial has hands pointing
to the months, weeks and days. An
other large ceutra! Iiaad on this dial, if
wt at the beginning of each year, cor*
re ctly s‘as points to all moon phases and also
act a perpetual calendar. It is so
constructed as to admit < f its keeping
two different times, sav standard on one
side and *iiui tune on Hie other.—John

How lio YTorkeil It.
Oakland, Aid., rejoices in the posses

but that lack does not* prevent him from
poring over thu newspapers and iuiagi/i
ing that he is absorbing information
through his finger ends. Not long ago
some official had occasion to record Ids
