THE MYSTERIOUS WATCH.
A Curious Mechanical Device an,

A Curious Mechanical Device and
How 1t Is Made ana OPP psraces
The Messrs. Schwob have just brought
out quite singular watch, the
first specimen of which has been exam
med by us, and which will certainly
puzzle more than one curious person,
says La Nature. Everyone now knows
those mysterious clocks that still aston
ish the masses. A transparent glass
dial, suspended with two wires, and pro-
vided with hands, and there we have a
clock that tells the time. No mechan-
ism, no transmission, nothing, and yet
the clock moves to the minute.
The watch belongs to the category of
mysterious devices; but it is solid; does
not require to be hung perpendicularly,
and operates with regularity in all po-
sitions.
it is, so to Speak, mysterious pocket
"clock." A glass dial is set into bevel
in II silver rim, and two hands move. as
if by magic, over the transparent glass
without the least apparent transmission
of motion. The view through the glass
is unobstructed, and person can read
his newspaper through the dial.
Behind the dial we find glass disk,
which is not noticed when the watch is
closed, and behind this there is a glass.
The axis of the hands traverses the me-
dium disk, to, which IL is fixed. and rests
one side on the center of the dial, and,
on the otheraoH the center of the glass.
1t is not difficult to see that the hands
revolve, becadss the medium disk itself
revolves. But, whence does it de-
rive its motiony AT the upper part OF
the watch. near the stem, the
case formscq crescent, and in
this, Notwithstanding the reduced
space. it has been pos sible to find room
for an entire ordinary watch movement.
Now, the movitbie medan disk is pro-
vided, at it's circumference, with a
toothed metallic ring. The teeth of
this engage with those of PM on of
the movement concealed in the cres-
cent. OF course, we do not see the
toothed circumference OF the dis k con-
cealed behind the prolonged horns of
the crescent; and we do not even sus-
pect the existence OF the central glass
disk, the motions OF which take
place unperceiyed. So that a person
who is ignorant OF the artitice at we
have Just pointed out does not UNDER
stand how the hands can move over the
dial. The minute hand causes the di-
rect revolution OF the hour hand by
means of microscopic gearings CON-
cealed under the interior support OF the
hands. This eutire combination is welt
conceived and In ingenuity surpasses
the old mysterious clocks. The escape
ment Is Of the rem0ntoir kind, and the
watch runs thirty-two hours without
stopping.

The Sharing Exhibition.

The cleverest sparring exhibition ever wit
messed IN Omaha, was that which occurred
before the Gate City Athletic club last even
ing between Jack Davis, of Denver, and
Jack Ryan, of st. Paul. Preliminary TO this
the premier event on the bill, Jimmy Lind!
say and a novice known as Young Gordon,
amused the crowd for three rounds. Gordon
was but toy in Jimmys hands, and was
much gratitied when the stipulated time had
expired Lindsay is certainly showing up
In great form, and evinccs vast Improvement
in scence and hitting ability every time he
steps into the ring.
{ At 9:30 Davis and Ryan crawled through
the ropes and We're greeted by vigorous
hand clapping. They are couple of heavy
weights. and in the vernacular of the ring, u
: pair of "corkers.h DAVIS had the advantage
of his opponent by about ten or fifteen
pounds, though the lesser man gave superb
exhibition of the Delsartian movement,
being as quick and agile and as ready to take
advantage of an opening as any top-notcher
in the land. Davis has as yet never been de-
feated, and he has had some great fights,
whipping John p. Glow twice, and fighting
Joe Lannon to draw. Ryan, two has hau
some tough mills, and recently knocked
Paddy Mccormick stiff after long and tre-
mendous battle near Denver. He also bested
0Jim Fell, and has met several other pugilistic
stars of greater or lesser note.
The set-to last night was such as to elicit
the warlnest expressions of approval from all
who witnessed 1t, and among the spectators
e were couple of police sergeants and several
roundsmen, and although the bout was of a
< highly tropical character from the opening
smash to the wind-up, they saw nothing to
warrant official interference and left the hall
:. in the belief that such exhibitions of science,
skill and endurance can have none other
e than n beneficial effect upon all manly men.
Manager Kilkenny at the close of the enter
: tainmcnt announced that Davis and a st.
Louis unknown would spar fifteen rounds
for scientific points before the club Friday
evening. There was much talk among the
spectators and club men during the evening
about getting on "go'i between Davis and
Pat Killen in the near future. The prevail
ing opinion was that should they come to-
gcther the Duluth slasher would emerge
from the fray crowned with similar laurels
to those which he won from Joe McAuliffe
before the San Francisco Athletic club some
four weeks ago.

Hutchinson and the Railroads.

SIOUX CITI, Ia, Oct. 2k-LSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. IA letter written by
Senator j. G. Hutchison. republican candl-
date for governor, July IS, 1888, will be
printed for the first time tomorrow. 1t is q
most effective refutation of the assaults
upon his record regarding state control of
railroad corporations The letter is pri-
vate one, written to DR.. Charles Beardsley,
then chairman of the republican state COM
mittee, long before Senator Hutchson
thought OF becoming a candidate for gov
ernor. In the letter he alluded to "The fool
ish, untlmely and uncalled-for war which
the railroad companies are making on the
railroad law" and he reviewed the
inside history of the passage of the railroad
laws at the previous session of the legis-
lature. In conclusion he said:
1T is well known that some of us worked
night and day to avoid the shoals; to learn, if
possible what was the true middle ground
the right thing to do as between the railroad
companies and the people, BY our pursuing
that course Iam satisfied we secured the
present railroad law, and 1 believe 1T is the
honest duty of every good citizen to stand
up ,5s forr,s for it. , tae feel quite
of the law. 1t is the best state railroad law
in the United States. / amproud of the law,
and think the railroad companies will in time
learn that there is one state in the union
WHICH proposes 10 De sovereign lu GneSe lnaU-
ters, and that the railroad companies shall
not be. Our state convention will soon take
place, and while have so much pride in the
honorable position we maintain as state,
hope level-headed men will not permit a reso
luton on the railroad question that will look
like backing dawn"
This letter was written few days before
the republican state convention of last year,
at which Senator Hutchison was chairman
of the resolutions committee, and reported
the most radical anti monopoly platform ever
adopted in Iowa. The letter is more signif-
cant because not intended for publication,
and because it so completely meets the
charges of Mr.. Asnby, who claims to be sec
retary of the Farmers alliance.

OsKALoosA, Ia, Oct. 21.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. Last evening mum ber
of rough characters were gathered at the
house of family named Williamson, in the
west part of the city. Dick Atchison took a
revolver down from shelf and pointed 1t at
AL Weatherwax, who was sitting in chair.
The revolver was discharged, the ball strik
ing Weatherwax in the left side of the face
and lodging somewhere in the throat or
head 1t is probable that the wound is
mortal. The men had been friends and had
not quarrelled, but Atchison was intoxicated
at the time He is now in Jail awaiting trial
and the results of the wound. He claims
that he did not know the revolver was
loaded, and since ne was jailed he has tried

HIS RECORD ON ALL QUESTIONS.

Confidence in the Integrity and
Ability of the Hepub-
lican Nominee.


DEs MoINEs, Ia, Oct. 81. Especial Tele-
gram TO THE BEE. the democrats have
dared Governor Larrabee to publicly endorse
Senator Hutchinson, the republican candi-
date for governor, pretending that the sena-
tor was not acceptable to the anti-monopo-
lists. The former has accepted tho challenge,
and to-day wrote the following very strong
endorsement in n letter TO gentleman of
this city. 1t is expected that this will satisfy
the farmers alliance as 10 the soundness of
Seneator Hutchison on the railroad ques-
ton.
DEs MONIES, Oct. 21.-Many enquiries
have been made of mo concerning Senator
Hutcbison's legislative record on the
transportation question. presume the rec
ord as published in the papeps, purportng to
be a copy of the house and senate journals,
is correct. 1 deem, however, his record Of
the past as compared with his present
views and opinions, of small Importance in
deed. This question, like all great public
questions, should be viewed and acted upon
In the light of the present, and not from the
standpoint of the past
Senator Hutchinson consulted with me
frequently during the session of the last
general assembly when this question was
under discussion, and know that he labored
hard 10 secure the adoption of the best
features of our present law. He has, since
the adjournment of the general assembly,
often expressed to me his appreciation of the
action OF our commissioners, and has repeat
edly assured me that he considered the rates
fixed by them reasonable and compensatory.
Senator Hutchison is an able, high
minded, conscientious man, and have per-
feet faith and confidence in him. Ii elected
governor, believe he will be active and
energetic in his efforts to enforce this law,
as well as any other, in letter and IN spirit,
and that there will be no swinging back of
the pendulen with his consent. He is sound
on the temperance, as he Is on the transpor-
tation question: and will never consent to the
proposition to open saloons in any and every
township in the state We caunot over-esti-
mate the Importance Of sustaining this law
in its fullest integrity. The senator's per-
sonal qualities and bis views on political
questions will undoubtedly make him an ad-
mirable chief for this state. '.-
