Watch Responds to
the Personal Touch
Of all mechanical devices we use. a
watch comes nearest to having life,
senses and feeling. It reacts to cold
and heat, dampness and dry air, recog
nizes good treatment from bad ; In fact,
It Is as sensitive to the way it Is cured
for as a pet dog would be, says Popu
lar Science Monthly. A watch even
has temperament that It acquires rui>-
Idly according to the temperament of
its wearer. If two persons were to
exchange watches that had been keep
ing perfect time, the watches would
proceed to get out of order quickly.
A watch is the most delicate and
complex mechanism of dally use. It
has 211 parts, some so small that they
are Just about visible to the unaided
eye. A break of maladjustment of any
of these parts is sufficient to mar Its
utility as a timepiece. To make a
watch requires about 4,000 distinct
operations. Involving a year’s work.
Part of the mechanism strikes 157,000,-
000 blows a year, while the balance
wheel revolves a distance of 4,800
miles. No other piece of machinery
known is subjected to such use. Yet
a good watch will keep perfect time
through two or three generations.
Once your watch has been regulated
to fit your gait, It will require very
little attention. It should be oiled once
a year, protected from dust, dampness
and sudden Jolts, nnd wound every 24
hours at exactly the same time to the
minute. With this slight amount of
care even a cheap watch should last
for years.
Early Locomotive Did
Not Operate in Rain
Nearly all the great Inventions and
discoveries which hnve made modern
life so wonderful and at the same time
so strenuous have been produced with
in the last century. A huge step for
ward was made, something about a
century ago, when the steam engine
was adapted to haul trains of “wagons”
on railroads. A copy of the Philadel
phia Chronicle of that period con
tains this unique advertisement: No
tice —The locomotive engine (built by
Mr. W. Baldwin of this city) will de
part daily when weather la fair with
a train of passengers; on rainy days
horses will be attached.” This en
gine, “built by Mr. Baldwin,” was the
beginning of the great Baldwin loco
motive works, which Is now one of
the biggest things of the kind in the
world. Mr. Baldwin mnde the aston
ishing boast that his original engine
would "draw 30 tons on a level road.”
Now a single freight car will hold
twice that much.
Cun Fire Doesn't Kill Fish
That fish, contrary to popular super
stititlon, ure not frightened or killed
by heavy gunfire, Is reported by an ob
server for the Cnnifornin fish and game
commission, who was on the United
States battleship Idaho In fleet battle
practice off the California coast. The
heaviest guns of the fleet were fired at
Intervals for hours and over a large
area of the ocean, yet during the thick
of the firing no fish were seen to Jump
from the water as frightened fish do,
nor was a single dead fish found
afterwards.
It is explained that the vibrations
of the air produced by sound above
water are not transmitted to the water
to any appreciable extent. Revere
shocks under water, such as those due
to mine explosions, kill fish, but they
are apparently little affected by de
tonations above the surface.
Relief for the Ears
Application of photography to
sound by a London scientist has now
made possible the elimination of ear
plerelng noises in railway operation.
Under the direction of Prof. A. H.
Low, an extended series of tests made
for the underground electric railwuys
of London, has disclosed the principal
sources of disturbing noises In sub
ways, with the result that Londoners
in the future will travel In compara
tive silence. The intensity of noises
is measured by means of un Ingenious
device consisting of a trumpet to catch
the sound, and arranged so as to cause
a diaphragm to vibrate. This vibra
tion operates a mirror, causing a beam
of light to play on a sensitized film.
The study of the plates makes pos
slide the detection of the noises.
The Point of View
“The finest sight In the world to
day,’’ says the Utica Observer-Dis
patch, “is the mile after mile of cozy,
warm-lighted houses,’’ It Is a fine
sight, though we object to the rank
ing system in fine sights. It is a fine
sight to the motorist, driving along
on a chilly evening. The lights go
tip in the houses that line the road,
and he says, “Ah, these homes of hap
py people!” And somebody about to
draw the shades in one of the houses
looks out at the speeding motorist
and says yearningly, “Pretty soft to
be aide to dash around the country
anywhere you like.”—F. P. A. in New
York World.
Camel’s Hair Cloth
Real camel’s hair Is used in making
camel’s hair cloth. It comes from
the cooler sections of China, as the
hair obtained from the camels in the
wanner sections is neither fine nor
abundant. At a certain season of the
year camels shed their hair, which
drops off in bunches, most frequently
while the camels are asleep. When
a caravan is on a trip there Is always
a special boy whose duty It is to gather
up the shed hair in baskets. When a
port Is reached the hair is sorted and
baled for export.
