Screws Used In Watches which Are AlmO

screws Used In Watches which Are Almost
Invisible TO the Naked Eye.
"Yes, sir; those are the smallest screws
in the world" said n ~jeweller who was at
work repairing q watch to an EVENING Womb
reporter.
He referred to the fourth, jewel wheel
screw, which is almost invisible and to the
naked eye looked like a speck of dust.
But. here, Just take this glass and look at
It,, " said the ~jeweller.
The reporter did SO. and saw that the speck.
that had been referred TO by the matchmaker.
was n regular screw. The jeweler said that
the screw was 260 threads TO the inch. and
with q very fine glass the threads may be
seen very distinctly.
1T has been estimated that an ordinary
thimblo will hold 100, 900 of these screws.
Nobody ever attempted to count them.
The method employed IN determining the
number il to place a hundred of them on a
fine scale and determine the number of the
whole lot by the weight Of those on the
scale.
The manufacture of these screws is q fine
piece of work. After they are cut. they are
hardened and put in frames and polished by
an automatic machine. The whole process IA

THE METROPOLITAN MIRROR
SOME CHANCE REFLECTIONS OF DAILY
LIFE IN NEW YORK CITY.
All Right for T"iaer.HantinG, but No Good
Against TomcntA.

~
against TomcntA.
In one OF the large newspaper offices in
this city is employed q boy who, although
very bright in some things, is exceedingly
dull in others.
In the same office Is q reporter who. al.
though still Young. has spent years in travel.
ing the broad expanse of o domain. He
has penetrated the wilds of Asia, trayersed
the burning sands of Africa, zone whaling
near the North Pole, and chased American
big game from Texas to Montana.
This traveller ono day recently was relating
to n group of fellow reporters some of his ad
ventures in Africa, the Office boy being q very
attentive listener.
When the reporter finished his tale the boy
approached him.. The tale had worked NJ
his feelings and he was anxious to hear more,
He wanted to know how they caught the
lions and tigers, of which he had read 10 much
about and which he had often seen IN Contra
Park.
Tn traveller, who is fond of n joke, told
the boy that the hunters simply stood still
when they met q lion or tiger, and stared
them. This charmed them. and they would
not bite. Then tho hunters caught hold OF
their tails aud yanked them into n large has
ket, which they always carried along.
This answer apparently satisfied the bov'i
curiosity, aud he left the Office that nigh
with q smile upon his face.
The next morning when he appeared at the
Office he presented n sorry sight. A large
piece Of court plaster was stuck across his
cheek and his hands were new with scratches
He made direct for the man who had told
him how they. caught lions and tiger
and. in n fearful voice, said: You cannot
catch tomcats that way, can o u?"
Now the other Office boys guy him about
the way to charm tomcats.

Notwithstanding the healthy location
of this village the rate Of mortality
has been greater :for the past
eight months than before for half
a century. This town contains IL houses
occupied by about 40 inhabitants, who
are nearly all Prohibitionists in prinei-
pie and practice though few OF the citi-
zens are members of the organization.
No saloon license has been granted in
this village for the last quarter of CEN
fury few intoxicated persons have pass
ed the streets of this tewn during the
last named period. Fifty years in the
past the number OF whisky mills i'll this
magisterial district was equal to the
number Of school houses, at this date
plus one. In this town there are stores,
blacksmiths, physicians, churches,
ministers, Sabbath Schools, 2 roads,
2 bridges, and drug store without
whisky.
In this vicinity the oil excitement is
high.
DIR. Mason has left, his territory being
occupied by DIR. Rose, late OF Greene
county, Pa, who is preserving the
health OF the inhabitants of Battelle with
the assistance of DR.. Shriver and others.
The Doctor is young, single and quite
good looking.
There are Sabbath Schools in this
vicinity in town; one M. Z. and the
other Baptist, each attended by about
40 scholars and officers. On yesterday
the school in the country, miles dis
tant, was attended by 70 scholars and
officers, with few visitors, IA of which
remained outside for want of room in a
small school house. This school is real
ly good one not under the control OF
any domination. Its average attendance
is over twice that of the two village
schools.
