GOLD WATCHES.

Tbs Reason why Thsy Gan He Bought sOr
SO Much Less Than Formerly.
"God watches ars 90 common nowadays
that men don't taceas much prids In wearing
them they did a few years ago." said
Fulton street jeweler the other day. "The
individual who could sport gold watch and
chain dozen years ago was considered
person Of wealth and property. But he isn't
now. Why, you viii find gold watches in the
pockets OF Our street tcarconductors. and have
even known them 70 wear handsome diamond
rings Did you ever notice the ostentatious
manner In which n young man handles his
first gold watohi It is rather amusing
Usually he carries it In chanois leather
pouch, and s very careful not to breathe on

suits IL every fifteen inmates for the first
month, but he soon tires Of it, and then con
sidcrs it a horrible bore to be asked for the

never greater than IL "a todny. Watch com
parties are kept very busy filling orders. and
We retail jewellers do a good business ia this
line"
why is it that watches are so much cheaper
now than few years agop
"Well, for ono thing, the watch movements
are great deal cheaper. Gold is justexactly
the same price per pennywsight The re
duction in price is confined TO the movements
The watch movements OF the standard Amer

America In Asia,

After long and diligent search In a queer,
dark, second hnnd booth kept by a swarthy
Mongol, was rewarded by the discovery OF
a product Of American genius that partly
satisfied my patriotism and served as a tangi-
bic proof that New England marks the time
to which all humanity keeps step. 1t was an
old second hand clock, made in Providence,
R. l., the battered and somewhat grimy face
OF which still boro in capital letters tho
characteristic American legend, Thirty
Hour JOKER Mongolia might know nothing
OF American literature or of American maga-
zines, but 1t had made the acquaintance Of
the American clock; and although this par
ticular piece of mechanism had lost its hands,
its Thirty Hour Joker" was a sufficiently
pointed allusion to the national characteristic
to satisfy tho most ardent patriotism.
An American Joker does not need hands TO
point out the merits Of bis jokes, and this mu-
tilated New England clock with its empty
key hole eyes and its battered but still hu-
norous visage, seemed TO leer at me out Of
tho darkness OF that queer old second hand
shop as II to say, "You may come TO Siberia
you may explore Mongolia, but you can't &c;
away from the American Joker" l was q
little disappointed not to find in this baEaT
some representative masterpiece Of American
literature, but | was moro than satisfied a

stituted a service OF daily weather reports,
out Of which our present signal servicesystem
has grown; and on the basis Of this enter
prise, as Mrs Norehead relates In her book
Professor Henry once remarked to her that
thore was no question In his mind that "Pro-
fessor Espy should be regarded as the father
Of tho present signal service OF tho United
States, his Theory OF Storms having led the
way to its establishment and present success. ="
Professor Henry added that the charts now
used in the service were identical with some
modlhcGtionsl with those that the "Old Storm
King" constructed for use il the meteorologi-
cal bureau Of tho war department when he
was at its head
A similar acknowledgment was made to
Mrs Morehead by Con. Myer. Professor
Espy was for several years regent Of the
Smithsonian institute, and was brought into
close relations and friendship with Professor
Henry. On the occasion Of his death Profes-
sor Bache pronounced his eulogy In the board
