UNIQUE COMPARISONS.
The Number of Vibrations Made by a Watch
in the Course of Year.

The Number of Vibrations Made by a Watch
in the Course of u Year.
The balance wheel of quick train
watch makes five excursions (vibra-
tions) every second, so per minute,
100000 per hour, 49,, 900 per day, which
givesus the enormous sum of 157 $50, 10
per year. Each vibration of the balance
of a properly constructed watch
consists of II revolutions. If q bicycle
with 60-inch wheel was propelled at
this rate the rider would cover mile
in 534 seconds, nearly 67 miles per
hour. more than 1904 miles per day,
or $50, 716l miles per year.
Now, pause a moment and think what
condition your wheel would be in if
you attempted to ride it 5S6,7163 miles
without occasional repairs or even
fresh oil! Yet this is precisely what is
expected of a watch. 1t is to be hoped
that wheelmen will have more respect
for their watches after reading this.
The smallest screw in watch has
220 threads to the inch and is SO minute
that the threads are not visible to the
naked eye. Indeed, one can hardly
be distinguished from speck of dirt,
except by using a powerful magnify
ing glass.
If we convert our 60-inch wheel into
these tiny screws, of which it takes
2j3, 440 to weigh pound, we shall
have 1889, 200 screws, worth about
$4,000. Let wheelmen not complain
of the cost of machines hereafter.
But the above is q mere trife when
compared to what the value would be
if made up into hair-springs, which,
when of the best quality, are worth,
when fitted to watches, $29. AGA per
pound. In this case your wheel would
become worth the snug little sum of
81. 355, 220. and if the wire used to
make these springs was drawn out into
one continuous piece it would take a
pretty good rider to travel from end to
end in a day, for the distance would
be 116 miles. Gazette.

A STREAK OF BLACK,
Invariable Rule by which to Detect til
Presence of African Blood.

Invariable Rule by which to Detect the
Presence of African Blood.
Captain o. G. Terry has an almost
exhaustless fund of quaint or unusual
stories, incidents or information at his
command. Most Of his stock he has
gathered in his own varied experiences
and observations. Let him lean back
in a comfortable arm chair and get his
thoughts turned toward "reminiscences
and he is sure to interest his auditors.
He was born and grew to manhood in
Tennessee, when the institution OF
slavery was in its prime. He grew up
to believe it wrong, his mother instill-
ing the belief into his mind from in
fancy.
But saw enough of slavery myself
to set me against it," said the Captain
few days ago, in speaking of this
period of his career. "In several in
stances saw slave children sold whose
veins contained so much of their mas
ter's blood that their skins were with
out tinge of the African color except
in the invariable stripe down the spinal
column. Such things as that were so
plainly and horribly wrong that !
needed no teaching in order to know
it. Between selling human beings who
were partly white and those entirely
black, some way couldn't find any
line where the wrong ended and the
right began.
What do mean by the stripe down
the spinal column? Why, supposed
you knew the presence of African blood
in any person, no matter how slight
the proportion, can be instantly de-
tected by dark line along the spine
Even an octorOon, with complexion
and features purely caucasian, invaria-
bly, has this line of dark. 1t is never
failing proof of mixed blood. The mark
is not always black, but is considera-
bly, darker than the rest of the surface
of the body.
''Since you didn't know that, per-
haps you don't know that q colored
child at its birth is as light colored as
a white one. You wouldn't notice any
difference in the color at all. In three
or four hours after birth the skin be-
gins to turn dark, aud in short time
becomes as black as the child is des-
tined to be during its life. "-Indianap-

A SONG TO THE WORLD.

a song to the world the beautiful world--
In spite of its clouds and its cares,
Its trials and pains, its shames and its stains
Its cruel deceits, and its snares.
With all its sad faults, It's the best world we
have
IT'S the only ore given to man
So let US accept it, with thanks, as it is,
And enjoy it as long as we can.
Then aw. Y with the cynic who cavils at life,
And wishes his days at an end!
Never yield TO despair, but patiently bear
Such mishaps as man can not mend
What mirer who works the auriferous earth,
Its glittering store to unfold,
Would be sour in mood, If The yield had was
Because he found dross with the gold2
Then while you are working the vast mine Of
life,
Be humble content and resigned
Never worry nor fret; take the best you can get
And whistle the worst down the wind.
Then away with the cynic, etc.
We were put here to Struggle-'twas Heavens
decree
Each man has his mission 20 fill
Misforiunes may fret us, temptations beset US
But we are Gods children still.
When i'll fortune meets us and enmity greets US,
We should then on ourselves most rely
49, 49,
breaks
More courage TO live than to die.
Then away with the cynic, etc.
TITS glorious world, II we look at it right,
And we should rejoice to be in it
There are birds in each grove, there are sweet
hearts to love,
And success, il VIC struggle to win it.
So let US determine that, happen what may,
We will stay with the weeds and the flowers,
And the friends and the foes, and the joys and
the woes,
Which make up this great world of ours.
Then away with the cynic, etc.
What folly to look on the dark side of life,
While the world is refulgcnt with light!
Creep out OF the shade, and stand up undis-
mayed.
In the raimenJ Of reason bedighL!
There is room for us all on this wide spreading
earth,
So, with Charty's b'nner unfurled
Let us Join in one cry, while old Time hurries BY
Three cheers for this beautiful world"
Then away with the cynic, etc.
