Hair spring Of . watch.

{ The making Of the hair spring is really
the most delicate operation about tho
manufacture Of the watch. The wire Is
received in spools, and Is nothing moro
than round thread. This is run between
hardened steel rollers aud fiattened, and,
being wound on the roll, is then drawn
between diamond dies, which give the re-
quired thickness and width. The spring
must be of exactly the same width and
thickness, and before being used IL tested
on o register which marks down to one
two hundred aud fifty thousandths Of an
inch.
To show to what hneness this meas.
ures, hal. placed between the jaws
marked 4O0o, and moved forward half
an inch registered 1860.
OF course, every one knows that hair
varies in thickness, but that it should be
SO exactly measured is q surprise; and
when it is remembered that the hair
spring of watch cannot vary even SO
much as the variance in a hair from the
human head, the delicacy Of the operation
will be emphasized In the imagination.
The wire is received in lengths OF 500
yards, and in this entire length must not
vary 80, or one-thirtieth of what hair
varies In half an inch. The spring Is then
cut into lengths Of twelve inches, and
these are wound, four at a time, and very
quickly, the tool resembling large PEN
holder, and turning from the end, into
the shape Of spring and of seventeen
coils. The wire is hardened, but winds
very easily, and Is removed from the
winder in copper boxes. s.--Globe- Demo.

Unsymmstr,c.i Physical Dsv.,opmsn,.


Perfect symmetrical development ID
rarely found in man or woman. OF
course, those who work with their hands
and are much on their feet generally excel
In form, but there Is tendency In all for
some limb or parts Of the body to become
stronger and better developed than the
others. To occupation can be attributed
this disparity, which, however, unless
marked, Is not OF great significance. Ex-
cluding from consideration that class
given to hard manual labor, we find that,
in the majority Of men and women, after
the age Of maturity Is reached, the upper
half Of the body does not retain its rela-
tive development and strength as COM
pared with the lower half.
OF course, the solution is easy, the
labor put upon the lower limbs Is greater
than that which falls upon the arms TO
do. The business man, when told by his
physician that he must exercise, insists
that he has all that he needs, for he Is
"on his feet from morning until night" {"
and the hard working housckeeper thinks,
too, she has quite enough, and gives the
same reason. We find these people strong
on their feet, but comparatively weak in
their arms. Circulation in the lower half
OF the body Is good, but in the upper part
it Ii less free, and less blood Is attracted
to 1t. The natural adjustment is de-
stroyed. Nature intends that q certain
portion Of blood in the human body should
enter and distribute itself throughout the
muscular system. II, however, large
muscles, like those of the arms and trunk,
are insufliciently exercised, and as a con-
sequence grow smaller then the blood In.
tended for them Is diverted elsewhere II
must be taken up by the internal organs,
and the liver is the one organ which,
from its peculiar construction, win beai
the greatest increase in the blood supply
