SHARP PEOPLE OF CAPE COD.
How Some Spectators Got Ahead of tho
Town Government.

How Some Spectators Got Ahead Of tho
Town Government.
A story of sharp legislative practive
comes from Cape Cod. 1t also illus
trates the cumbrous methods of town
government on that old-fashioned pc
ninsula- Some of the citizens of a
certain town believed they saw re-
munerative enterprise in raising her
rings in a fresh-water pond near the
aea, with which it had once been con-
nected by small creek now filed up.
Thereupon they petitioned the legisla-
ture for a license to use the waters of
the pond, at the same time giving no
tice of their application to the local
authorities, as required in such cases.
The sleepy town fathers were so slow
in calling meeting to consider the
question of assent or protest that they
were anticipated by the passage Of the
bill. The meeting was held, neverthe
less, and angry protests were put on
record against giving to a few persons
natural advantages that rightly be-
longed to and should be enjoyed by the
many. Undismayed by the storm they
had provoked, the gentlemen interest
ed in the propagation of herring have
petitioned the harbor and land commits
sioners for permission to reopen the
old waterway from the sea.

Early Impressions Are Lasting.

Every one must have found how diff
cult it is to eradicate early impressions.
or to overcome prejudice acquired
later in life. Our first impressions
cling to us with n tenacity which no
change of place or situation can de-
stroy. The home of our childhood, the
friends and associations of our youth
full days, form images in our remem-
brance which can never be wholly OBJ
liberated. The wanderer from his ma
tive country may in his adopted home
meet new associations and acquire
more wealthy connections and a higher
standing in society than he held in the
land which gave him birth, still the
humble dwelling in which he was
reared, the partners of his early joys
and SORROWS. the habits he was accas-
toned to in youth. are all ''green

ally watered from the fount of never

How the Electric Light Man Nearly Broke
Up an Eastern Coneresation.


Up an Eastern Congregation.
A church society of the standard
grade, not many miles from the New
ton, has completed handsome and
commodious house of worship, says the
Boston Herald. The society has occu-
pied it's house but few times, but
long enough 10 find 1t nice In every
way, except that when the full force
of the electric lights is turned on it
makes disagreeable glare for the full
services of Sunday evening. So the
head Of the building committee talked
with the pastor and some of the lead
ers, and they decided that It would be
practical and best to turn off the
switches controlling the side lights
during the body OF the services, but TO
have them on during the coming in
and the singing, and then during the
benediction and the going out of the
church at the close This plan was
tried for the first time Sunday evening.
The man at the switches was little
nav, but he thought he could manage
it. The Introductory hymn was over.
and the pastor arose in his place and
began: Il am the light of the world ="
Out went the side lights, leaving the
worthy clergyman in a flood Of radi-
ance from the lights just behind him
His hearers smiled. some even Uttered.
The pastor himself scarcely carried a
sober face through all the services.
The end of the meeting was near, and
all the congregation noticed how much
better it was TO have the electric lights
shine only on their light Of the
world" 1t was about time TO pass the
boxes That must be done IN full
light The deacons and the ushers
were ready with their long handled
solicitors. The clergyman read: Let
your lights so shine" On went ths
full force of the electric side lights.
Then the audience would have actually
laughed out loszd only !. was altogether

AN APPALLING RECORD.


Fifty-Four Lives Now Known to Have Rpep
Lost on the Great lakes In the Redsnt
Storm Summary of the Vessels WSSoked
and Their Value.
CHICAGO. Oct 1s.-Latsr reports from
the great storm which swept the chain
of lakes last Friday tend TO increase
the list Of disasters. The missing boats
are being heard from st sll points, and
an approximate list Of the losses at
last be made. Thus far IL is known
that forty-one people were lost and ton
vessels became total wroelss. Twenty
nine more are on the beach or wster-
logged, and whether they can be saved
or not will depend much upon the
weather and position. With these
twenty-nine no estimate Of losses can
as yet be made. but underwriters Deem
it probable that at loast thirteen OF
them will become total losses In nd
dition TO this long list Of casualties
nearly every boat out in the big storm
suffered heavy damages, although
they were able to keep afoat and sove
themselves from going on loo shores
The total losses, including eargoes,
with locality and values are rs follows:
Steamer Dean Richmond, foundered
off Dunkirk, $4,000.
Steamer Wocoken, foundered, Lake
Erie, $4,000.
Schooner James D. Sawyer, stranded.
Charlevoix, $4,000
Schooner Minnehaha, stranded, One
kena, S4s,0
Schooner Hunter, stranded, New Duf-
falo, 81, 800.
Schooner Volunteer, stranded. Port
Crescent, $4,000.
Tug Acme, foundered, Lake Huron,
$25, 900.
Yacht Enterprise, stranded, Georgian
Bay, $1,000.
Schooner Falconer, ashore, Lake On
tario, $4,000.
Barge Knight Templar, stranded,
Cheboygan, $4,000.
Schooner John B. Merritt, ashore,
Drummond's Island, $50,
To this list must be added two
schooners which are not yet identified.
One is sunk on Lake Erie, eight miles
off Port Colborne. She is thought 10
be the f. c. Leighton, of Port Huron.
The other is sunk four miles north Of
the Partisan Island on Lake Superior.
Only the top of the masts Of both
boats are above the water, and 1t IL
likely that their crews, numbering six
or eight men for each were lost.
This will make the total number Of
lives lost in the great storm fifty-four.
The aggregate losses on the boats
stranded, but which may be rescued
and on cargoes damaged by water will
exceed $4,000
To this must be added lssses Of not
less than $1,000 for minor damages,
many Of which will never be reported
In print
This grand total Of fifty-four lives
and s67e,OO Of property will add the
storm OF October IA TO the list Of his
toric gales on the great lakes.

ONLY A WATCH.
But It's Manufacture Requires tho EIer-
else of Great Skill

But It's Manufacture Requires tho Bxer-
else of Great Skill
Open your watch and lcok at the
little wheels, springs and screws, each
an indispensable part Of the whole
wonderful machine. Notice the cosy
little balance wheel as II flies 10 and
fro INCREASINGLY day and night, year in
and year out. This wonderful little
machine is the result OF hundreds Of
years Of study and experiment The
watch carried by the average man Is
composed Of ninety-eight pieces, and
its manufacture embraces more than
1900 distinct and separate operations.
Some Of the smallest screws are 80
minute that the unaided eye cannot
distinguish them from steel filings or
specks Of dirt. Under powerful mag
nifying glass a perfect screw Is re-
vealed. The slit in the head Is 81, 900
of an inch wide. 1t takes $3.50 OF
these screws to weigh pound, and q
pound is worth 81, 5s5. The hair-spring
is strip OF the finest steel, about 9K
inches long and 1-lO0 inch wide and
27-l0, 900 inch thick. 1t is coiled up In
spiral form and finely tempered.
The. process Of tempering these
springs was long held secret 10 the
few fortunate ones possessing 1t, and
even now is not generally known.
Their manufacture requires great skill
and care. The strip is gauged TO 2O-1, 900
of an inch, but no measuring instru-
ment has yet been devised capable of
fine enough gauging to determine be-
forehand by the size OF the strip what
the strength OF the finished spring will
be. A 1-2O, 900 part OF an inch differ
ence in thickness OF the strip makes a
difference In the running OF watch Of
about six minutes per hour.
The value of these springs when fin
ished and placed in watches is enor-
nous in proportion to the material
from which they are made. A com
parison will give good idea. A ton OF
steel made up into hair springs when
in watches Is worth more than twelve
and one-hah times the value Of the
same weight in gold. Hairspring wire
weighs one-twentieth of grain TO the
inch. One mile Of wire weighs less
than half pound.
The balance gives 6ve vibrations
every second, 800 every minute, IL, 900
every hour, 4s9, 900 every day, and 49,
$50, 900 year. At each vibration 1t
rotates about ono and one-fourth,
which makes 1877, 100, 900 evory year. In
order that we may better understand
the stupendous amount Of labor per-
formed by those tiny works let US mako
n few comparisons
Take, for instance, a locomotive with
six-foot driving wheel. Let its wheels
be run until they have given the same
number of revolutions that watch
does in one year, and they will have
covered distance equal 10 twenty
eight complete circuits OF the earth.
All this a watch does without other
attention than winding once every
twenty-four hours.-Locomotive Engi-
