HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

II will be apparent to any one, who will
examine a SoLIp GoLD WAToH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engrav.
ing aud polishing large portion of the
precious metal used is needed only to
stiflen and hold the engraved portions in
place. and supply tho necessary solidity
and strength. The surplus gold is actual.
| ly ncedlss so far as UTILITY and beauty are
concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT
GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE Of
precious metal is overcome. and the SAME
soLIDrTY AND STRENGTH produced at from
one-third to one half OF the usual cost OF
solid cases. This process is OF the most
simple nature, as follows: plate OF nickle
composition metal, especially. adapted TO
the purpose, has two plates OF SOLID GOLD
soldered one on each side. The three are
then passed between polished steel rollers,
and the result is q strip ofheayy plated
composition, from which the cases, backs,
centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by
suitable dies and formers. The gold in
these are sufficiently thick to admit Of all
kinds OF chasing engraving and enamel
ing, the engraved cases have been carried
until worn perfectly smooth by time aud
use without removing the gold.
THIS Is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.

ELECT RIc Pictures The most astonish
ing claim yet made In behalf OF electricity
is that it has been proven possible to con
vey by it vibrations OF light, so that it ia
practicable not only to speak with dis
tant friend, but TO see him. According Va
the Otago Times, DR.. Guldrah OF Victoria
has invented an apparatus called by him
the electroscope, which accomplishes this.
The paper in question says that public
test OF this instrument was made in Mel
bourne in the presence Of some forty sci.
entifc and public men. "5itting IN dark
room, they projected on a large disk Of
white Furnished metal the race course OF
Flemington with its myriad hosts OF active
beings. Each minute detail stood out
with perfect fidelity to the original, and
as they looked at the wonderful picture
through binocular glasses it was difficult
TO imagine that they were not actually 90

Peter Cooper's Illustration Of Usury,

MIR. Cooper was always a careful and
prudent business man, He was always
opposed to the methods OF many mer.
chants, who launched out into extravapant
enterprises on borrowed money for which
they paid extravagant rates Of interest
Once, while talking about project with
an acquaintance, the latter said he would
have TO borrow the money for six months,
paying interest at the rate OF per cent
per month. why do you borrow for so
short timer" Mr.. Cooper asked. BE
cause the brokers will not negotiate bills
for longer" "Well. II you wish.' said
Mr.. Cooper, II will discount your note at
that rate for three years. 'Are you in
earnest?" asked the would be borrower.
Certainly am. | will discount your
note for $4,000 for three years sat THAT
rate. Will you do it?" "Of course will.
said the merchant. ''very well" said
Mr.. Cooper, '.just sign this note for &c.
600, payable in three years. and give me
your check for $500, and the transaction
is complete" 'But where is the money
for me?" asked the astonished merchant.
"You don't got any money, was the reply.
'Your interest for 36 months at three per
cent per month amounts to los per cent
um or Sl0,S00; therefore, your check for
$500 just makes us even. The force Of
this practical illustration OF the folly OF
paying such an exorbitant price for the
use OF money was such that the merchant
determined never TO borrow at such ruin
Gus rates, and he frequently used TO say
that nothing could have so fully convinced
him as this rather humorous proposal by
Mr.. Cooper - Nem York Erenihg Pos.

NRp KEspALL's TRIUMPH. When Nee
Kendall was in his prime he visited Eng
lrnd. partly for recreation aud partly fol
the purpose Of discovering il there was
anything to be learned OF band music in
that country. A few days after his arrival
In London, where ho was total stranger
he saw an advertisement in the, Times for Q
bugle player in one OF the bands OF the
guards. On the following morning Ned
repaired to headquarters, as designated,
and introduced himself to the band master
by saying that he had seen the advertise
ment for bugle player, and he had come
to offer himself as candidate for the sit
uation.
The band master treated him rather cav.
alierly, but finally told him there would
be full rehearsal the next morning, and
he might come and show what he could
do; but il was intimated that he would
have to exhibit rare qualifications to enti.
tie him to the position.
AT the hour appointed Kendall made
his appearance, with his l. fat bugle in
his hand, and took his place in the band
1t happened, oddly enough, that the re-
hearsal commenced with new piece, con.
tanning solo for the clarinet, which the
performer upon that instrument could
not properly execute. After repeated
failures our Yankee bugle player request.
cd OF the band master that he might per.
form the part upon his bugle.
The leader laughed outright The idea
OF performing that part upon the bagIe
was ridiculous II could not be done.
However. the American being very urgent
consent was finally given him to try it.
The baud performed the prelude; and
then came the solo, with slight alto and
bass accompaniment.
As the surprising melody rose upon the
cir, one after another OF the players
dropped their instruments as though en-
tranced, and all listened with wonder and
admiration TO the wonderful performance.
When the solo was concluded, wild
storm Of applause shook the building; for
nearly full regiment Of guards was in at
tendance. The band master, when he
could collect himself, hsstened forward
and extended his hand.
'In the name OF all that is wonderful,
who are you?'
my name is Kendall"
"Wbatl Edward Kendall Of Boston,"
Yea
'.Well, I have heard Of you as the great
est bugle player in America. and now
say you are the greatest in the world
