watch -maker's-7just one hundred seconds ahead
Of the clock, was my watch. 30 then must
touch the regulator just tiny bit. did so,
and now my watch in two days gains just four
seconds. That's close enough for any mani
and SO began to think about the tick and the
regulator The watch ticks;-
In second times.
In minute Z so $40
In an hour 240 ( 80 1&,400
In day 14,400 I "a $4,000
In two days 8o1,20o
Have got these figures right, boyaf But
my watch made 400 too many, at first; and after
touched the regulator, 1t made each tick wee
grain longer; how much longer think you
Can any Of you cipher it OUT Nov will only
tell you that spgthsned each tick less than
the fitoenth-hundFsdth part Of tick, or the
six-thousandth part Of second. That 10 very
small time, indeed, and yet my regulator msa-
sures It, II Ia wonderful how hmAll some things
are, and yet men can see them end mspsurs
them.
Do you know what chairs breadth" isf L
heard man say that bullet "cSme vithin a
hairs breadth Of his nose" How close is that
That depends upon how COARSE the hair is.
About thirty COARSE horse. hairs, laid side by
side, will cover an inch broad. Fifty hairs Of
mine will not quite cover an inoh. And . thou
sand spider threads Of the finest kind, will not
be an inch broad, II laid side BY side. Now
any Of us can see spider line and so We know
that our eyes can see the ihousandth part Of an
inch without help FROM o microscope. Sharp
eyes We have got to be sure.
But onoe saw man measuring off accurate
ly the hundred thou6Andth part Of an inch
The finest spider line split into one hundred
ssperate strands He could not see one Of them
but be could measure them. l saw him do ID.
but cannot tell how he did 1t, in words that
you can understand.
A young lady came into tho room, large
rooom, and there was pleasant perfume filled
the whole room, from her handkerchief. Then
she went out to another room, and perfumed
that. She rode in carriage, and the air wae
fragrant for mile, as she rode along. Yet she
had put only three drops Of sweet-smelling stuff
on her handkerchief And ! began to think,
what little, very little part Of one drop ii takes
to fill o room full Of odor. Why, can smell
