New States Not Entitled to q Share.


In 1887 Congress passed bill providing for
agricultural experimental stations for the sew
eral states, but failed to make an appropria-
ton. At the last session Of Congress an appro-
priation of 100000 was made. The question
came up under Controller Durham as to
whether the territories were included in the
original bill. The assent OF the states was nee
essary to the plan for the establishment Of the
stations, and Dakota having assented Judge
Durham decided that she was entitled to come
in. The estimates sent in by the
department were for $4,000 for
each of the thirty eight states
and Dakota, and similar sum for a station in
connection with the department at Washington.
The question has been raised before Controller
Matthews whether the new states OF any of the
territories Except Daketa) were entitled TO
any OF the money. Today he decided that the
estimates providing for only the thirty-eight
states, the department and Dakota, none Of the
new states could claim any of the money.

Exactness in Machinery Has Been Reached by
the Makers of Modern Time-Pieces.

A Journal reporter. last week, went into
one of the large jewelry stores, and began a
conversation with the proprietor On time
pieces. "Yes," said the proprietor, "clocks
lave been a great blessing to mankind.
The business has become an extensive one,
and one that necessarily demands ac-
curacy and skill. Defects in tho
works of a clock or watch are
so apt TO occur, and the conditions for even
approximate accuracy are so exacting that
only geniuses are successful IN making
tlme-pleces.'
What is the lowest vaElation that has
yet been reachedF
About one second per week. Fifty years
ago, when bids were sought for the making
of the famous clock in Westminster, one
of the requirements was that it should not
vary more than one second per day. The
best clock-makers Of that period said that
such q clock could not be made. But
to-day no clock would be accepted
curacy that would vary. more than
one second per week. Wow, here Is q clock,
the large one standing against the wall.
that is. big and clumsy AS Its machinery
may seem. one of the bost IN the house.
There is another on the shelf that you can
almost put in your vest-pocket,a very good
little clock for all ordinary purposes. and a
nice ornament. but without the steady ac-
curacy of the more ponderous one"
In the making of a clock what is tho
most important thing 10 be consideredf'
1T would be a very dIfticnlt matter TO
answer that question. Nothing is unim-
portant. Every wheel must be exact. But
perhaps that which has puzzled men most
10 the escapement-that is. the point where
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1889-08-18

the rotary motion of the train of wheels
becomes the vibratoEy motion of the pendu-
lum. Various devices have been invented
by men to regulate this conversion, but
NV one now remains in common use, and
that fact shows it is the best. 1t Is called
the dead escapement. Here the pendulum
tooth is received upon the pallet. as 1T Is
termed. of the wheel, and remains there
until the return of the pendulum allows 1t
to be released. Another, interesting
feature of a clock is the striking
There are two kinds of striking. clocks
first, one in which the striking OF an hour
cannot be omitted or repeated Without
causing the next one to go wrong. Ihese
clocks are most commonly found In towers.
The other kind will strike any h0ur, the
number struck depending altogether on
the position of a certain wheel attached 10
the train. As to the winding or CLOCKS,
several designs are or have been In use.
There is one continuance by which clocks
will wind themselves by expansion n
contraction of some fluid, usually meI-
curry. Then there is the vino,
mill clock and the water clock. All
of these. however. are a~lntlquated anu are
rarely seen nowadays" ,,
Where are the best clocks madea"
81 might say that, perhaps. the best CLOCKS
are made in England. Swiss and german.
work is fair. as is also American. But IN
the matter of clocks, our American works
will hardly compare with that of the OLD
world. On the other hand, Americans sur.
pass Europeans in the manufacture or
watches. Nothing of the kind now made
excels, as time-keepers, the watches pro
duced by this country"
