ANTICS OF WATCHES.
Broken Springs Said to Follow a Display
OF the Aurora I,oronIi.

OF tho Aurora HoreaIis.
Decidedly the watch is a very due2r
thing. 1t possesses some unaccount-
able peculiaritics. Some time ago,
when there had been n succession of
fine displays Of the aurora borealis it
was estimated that in n single night
IN New York the mainsprings of not
less than three thousand watches
broke. This estimate is based on actual
inquiries.
Fine, sensitive watches nre particu-
lnrly liable to be affected by cleo
trical atmospheric disturbances. Dur
ing the months of juno, July and
August, where these phenomena are
most frequent, there urc moro mnin-
springs broken than during nll the
remaining months of the year. They
break In variety of ways, sometimes
swapping into as many as twenty-seven
pieces. ....
1t is a fact that since the introduce
ton of the electric light has become SO
general u large number of watches,
some of them very fine ones, have be-
como magnetizcd. While in this con-
dition they are useless rs timc-kecpers.
This defect used to be considered in
curablc, and because of it thousands of
watches have been thrown away, after
much money had. been spent on them in
vain attempts to persuade thcra to
keep good time. Among the methods
resorted to were washing the parts in
garlic juice, rc1ni3hing and passing
them through the fire. But all these,
devices were, entirely failures, or only
in part effective.
There arc occasions when it is n
very serious matter to have your watch
faagnetizcd. The captain OF an ATTAIN
tic steamer, before putting TO eca on u
recent voyage, was invited to inspect
an electric dynamo machine, and
examined its parts closely. Soon after
getting on board the steamer he no.
ticod that the compass became strange
~ affected whenever he approached it,
Mhcthcts he stool on the right or the
left, or Immediately in front OF tho
compass, the nccllc would Invariably
point to him. The compass was worse
than useless whom he ca.nc near it. 1t
was dangerous, and might wreck the
ship. The phenomenon alarmed and
puzzled the captain not little. At
length he recalled his visit to the dyna-
mo machine, and tho true solution of
the eccentric behavior of the needle
flashed upon him. His watch had be-
como r1agaet:z,d. Whom hc removed
it the needle resumed itA constancy to
the polar star.
Watches frequently get magnctized
in iron mines or muchinc shops where
they arc incautiou3iy brought near

1t is wcll-lInown fact among horol-
ogists that no watch will keep the

but it would seem that in somc mys-
terious way q watch is affected by the
temperament of tho wcnrer. Tho nero

sufficient to account for all tho varia-
'tions that hnvc been observed boston

and we live on the inside of it. ''The
moon," says Koresh, sis but an idle shadow
of the earth"
The everyday business name of their
prophet and chief is DR.. iced, but his de-
voices call him sometimes Cyrus, but most
generally Koresh. Themselves they call
Koreshan, and there is nothing in the con-
stitution to forbid it. They have all things
in common, and there is no marriage in
their system. When husband and wife
join they must live apart and only meet as
brother and sister in the lecture room,
which is all very well when both are suited,
but when one partner joins and the other
doesn't the case is awkward. And this is
the little hitch which has brought the law
into play and forbodes trouble to the Kore-
shan, particularly in the case of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Jackson, who have been sepa-
rated by the "creed." Koresh was once a
physician. One day he was illuminated, !"
and straightway proceeded to make con-
verts in Chicago, where he still has con-
gregation.
Some of the members were wealthy when
they Joined, but it all went into the COM
mon pot. One of them was beautiful
and talented opera singer, who went to San
Francisco with the Hess company. koresh
has prophesied that be will die martyrs
death soon. Some of his disciples expect
that he will be murdered by some world
ling whose family peace he has invaded.
Others declare that he will be snatched 10
heaven in a chariot of fire.

ago and took 70 crims at an early age His
first recorded arrest was in 1877, since
which time his exploits and escapes have
been many.
Early in 1881 he was sentenced for five
years for robhiug a Providence, r. l., Jew

$4,000 10y the death OF his mother, and on
his release went to Europe. There he and

places. His real name is Clarence Prentice
Tiller, and his life is a romance in crime.
But few years ago flor he is still young
he was a nominaliy honest lad in Louis
vile, KY, where his father and brothers
still reside. He obtained a confidential
position in the St. Louis Office of the South
ern Pacific express and astonished the
world by getting away with S94, 900 in cash
and about $4,000 worth of jewelry. The
execution of the robbery was adroit, and
his subsequent movements were bungling.
He and his pal" lay concealed in st. Louis
few days, then divided the swag and
separated, Tiller going to Milwaukee.
There he carried q valise so old and rotten
that when be sat it down in hotel it
bursted and the money fell out, thus caus-
ing his speedy arrest. For this robbery he
and George McFadden got five years each
in the Missouri penitentiary.
On the 1st of May, $780, Tiller and Will
liam Burns tried the grab game on a tray
of diamonds at Michie's jewelry store in
Cincinnati ia the busiest hour of the day,
and with a crowd in pursuit Tiller escaped
with the diamonds, but Burns was taken
and consigned TO the Ohio state prison for
seven years. Then Detective Ralph Craw-
ford began the long search for Tiller. Sew
eral times he thought he had him located,
but when Mr.. Henry Niche, from whom
the tray of diamonds was snatched, took
view at the suspected, he declared it was
not the man. IN July, 1890, a man who
gave his name as C. H. Price was sent up
from Detroit for raising a check. He was
just handling the 81, 400 received for it
when arrested.
The st. Louis detectives soon discovered
that the friends of the Cincinnati diamond
thief, Burns, were also friends of the new
convict in Jackson, Mich, and two of them
had lately visited there to see what they
could do for him. On this hint Mr.. Niche
and Detective Crawford went to Jackson,
and at the first glance the former identi-
fed price" as the long sought Tiller. He
refused TO give any information about the
diamonds, and when assured that after his
seven years at Jackson were out he would
get seven more in Ohio. he coolly replied,
"a good many things may happen in seven
years-maybe rwon't be here, and maybe
some of us will be underground"
