WATCH-SPRNcS.-It has recently been dis
covered that the springs of chronometers and
watches, which are constructed of steel. are
frequently magnetic. Steel Is at all times
liable to magnetized from causes beyond mans
control. Watch-makers are advised to :test
their springs as to magnetism by placing
them near to a very small and truly balanced
mariners compass. If the spring exhibits in
none of It's circumference any tendency to
move TO one pole Of the compass more than
the other, it may be considered free from
magnetic influence on the other hand, if the
North pole moves to one part, and the South
role to the other, the spring IS decidedly use
less; for in whatever position the time-keep-
er may be placed with such a spring, it will
be affected by the earth's magnetism
