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.
