MECHANISM OF A WATCH,
A Wonderful Little Machine That Too
Hundreds uf Years to Perfect.

A Wonderful Little Machine That Took
Hundreds of Years to Perfect.
Open your watch and look at the little
wheels, springs and screws. each an in
dispensable part of the whole wonderful
machine. Notice the busy little balance
wheel as it flies to and fro increasingly,
day and night, year in and year out.
This wonderful little machine is the re-
suit Of hundreds Of years of study and
experiment. The watch carried by the
average man is composed of 90 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 dis
tinguish them from steel filings or specks
of dirt. Under powerful magnifying
glass perfect screw is revealed. The
slit in the head is 2-1 900 Of an inch
wide. 1t takes 5000 of these screws
to weigh pound, and a pound is worth
81 ,585. The hairspting is strip of the
finest steel, about 81 inches long and
1-l00 inch wide and 27-lO, 900 inch thick.
It is coiled up in spiral form and finely
tempered.
The process of tempering these springs
was long held as secret by the few for
tunate ones possessing it and even now
ts not generally known. Their manu-
facture requires great skill and care.
The strip is gauged to 20-1 900 of an
inch, but no measuring instrument has
yet been devised capable O; fine enough
gauging to determine beforehand by the
size of the strip what the strength of the
finished spring will be. A 100000 part
Of an inch difference in thickness of the
strip makes a difference in the running
Of q watch Of about six minutes per
hour.
The value of these springs when fin
ished and placed in watches is enormous
in proportion to the material from which
they are made. A comparison will give
good idea. A ton of steel made up
into hairsprings when tn watches is
worth more than f2t times the value of
the same weight in gold. Hairspring
wire weighs l-20 of grain to the inch.
One mile of wire weighs less than half
a pound.
The balance gives Eve vibrations ev.
cry second. 800 every minute. $4,000 ev-
cry hour, 49,. 1000 every day. and 1877
$780, 900 every year. At each vibration it
rotates about II times. which makes
t97, 100000 every year. In order that
we may better understand the stupep-
dous amount of labor performed by these
tiny works. let US make a comparison.
Take. for instance, a locomotive with
6 foot driving wheels. Let it's 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 to % complete circuits
of the earth. All this watch does
without other attention than winding
once every "a hours.-Locomotive Engi.

A Famous Steamboat Race.

n Famous SScASnOO1t n0C0s
The famous race between the Hanni-
bal City and the Ocean Spray occurred
in 1860. Prior to this race the Ocean
Spray had splendid records. The race
was from St. Louis to Keokuk. The
early part of the race waS very close,
and the excitement was intense. When
nearing Bissell's point, the Ocean Spray
found the Hannibal City passing her.
The mate on the Ocean Spray, one Davis,
becoming desperate, ordered the head of
q barrel Of turpentine to be knocked in.
Els men were then ordered to dip the
wood in this turpentine before putting
it in the furnace, the object being to
quickly increase the steam pressure.
The Ocean Spray was supposed to carry
only 100 pounds of steam, but Davis
thought that by putting another nigger
on the safety valve" he could run the
pressure up to 200 pounds and distance
his rival. In carrying the dripping wood
to the furnace the track became satu-
rated with turpentine, which caught fire
from the open furnace. The flames quick
" reached the barrel. An attempt was
made to throw the barrel overheard, but
it exploded, and the burning oil being
scattered all around the boat was soon q
mass of flames. ....
Scott Matson was captain on the Han
nibal City. He was brave and gener-
GUS man, and in this instance these two
qualities made his name famous. Not
withstanding the imminent danger. he
ran his boat alongside the burning one
and rescued every person on board. Da'
Wis, the mate Of the burned boat, was
afterward convicted and sent to the peni-
tentiary for such gross violation of the
rules Of safety. He was later pardoned'

AMERICAS HUMOaIsrs.

An Interesting Lecture by Miss Jen-
kins at the Oglethorpe Seminary.
The psrlors at the Og!ethorpe seminary
were Gro wded last night to hear the lecture
Of Miss Marguerite VII rinia jenkins Of
Charleston on Americas Humorists"
Miss jenkins has been frequent visitor
TO Savannah, and has lectured here several
times before, her appearance always draw
ing large audiences.
Her subject last night was well chosen,
and she had q wide field to select from.
After a brief discussion Of American humor
IN the abstract, however, she devoted her
lecture Co several Of tho best known and
most popular OF of American humorists. In
speaking of dumor she said it was not al
ways TO be considered light or trivial but
was, in fact, q great moral force. and was
accepted as such by some OF tho most emil
nent diviues OF the country, and that 1t was
a great weapon IN the pulpit
she went on to discuss several Of the
prime foundations of American humor,
among which were the "clGsh between bust
ness aud religion" the comparative size OF
the American continent and the compari-
sons and contrasts between the yankee aud
other American types.
The American humOristS did not number
half a dozen, she said, but she had list of
forty or more from which TO select types
for the lecture and discussion. From the
list she had selected Howells, James. Arte-
mus Ward, Bob BuTdett5, James Whitcomb
Riley, Warner and one or two others and
in this order she took them up, reading
Selections from their works and
discussing the characteristic humorous style
of each. The lecture was b Rhly entertaiu-
ing and instructive, and spice was added by
the we'll chosen and adapted selection Of
she spoke.
Miss Jenkins has 2 bright and vivacious
style Of delivery, which catches and pleases
the audience from the start, and her lecture
last night was highly appreciated. She
makes regular lecturing tours, and pays
frequent visits to Savannah, where her ap-
pearance is always enjoyed by those who

FIVE STORES ROBBED.
C2ACKsMEN TRY THEIR HANDS
ON BROUGHTON STREET,

Az Unsuccessful Raid on the Retail
stores Between Whitaker end Bar
nerd Streets-The Amount Secured
Less : han $7OO-Tbe Police and Pri-
vate Detectives After the Burglars.
Expert burglars effected an entrance into
five Broughton street stores sometime night
before last in a novel manner by way of
the roofs. The stores visited were all in the
block between Whitaker and Barnard
streets Christopher Gray & Sons, Collat
Bros, s. KrouskofR's, Foye s. Morrison's and
NJ. Sternberg's. The burglars wore after
cash. ana only two Of the stores suffered
Gray & Son and Collat Bros, and the sum
total taken was SIS.
The burglars got into Gray & Sons by
prying of the iron cellar bars in the lane
and drilling a hole through the lock Of the
rear door. They forced the cashiers drawer
and after taking $50 went out through the
scuttle TO the roof of Colat Bros,
forced the scuttle there and
went down stairs. Thirty-five dollars, a
hat and pair of shoes were secured, after
which the burglars passed out through the
scutte and into Foye s. Morrison's Krous-
koH's and Sternberg's by the same means.
Nothing was taken out of these places, but
nearly all the drawers were pulled open in
the search for money. There YVES a con-
siderable sum in one of the desk drawers in
Foye & Morrison's, but somehow the burg
lars overlooked that particular drawer.
After completing their tour they re-
turned over the roofs, passed back into
Gray q Sons and left the building by the
same way in which they had entered. The
burglaries were nos discovered until yes
terday morning when the stores
were opened. 1t was evidently
well planned before hand, as Mr.. Gray
found "Gray & Son" chalked on the back
door of his establishment In red, where the
burglars evidently placed it as distinguish
ing mark when accommodating for the ex-
petition.
The case was reported to the police and
Detective Bosseli started to work on the
case at once.
Yesterday afternoon be arrested Leon
PamDam and H. i. Peynanmonavitz, two
young, men on suspicion of being connected
with the robbery. Both strenuously deny
the charge. They were bonded out last
night

THE PLOT THGCKENs.

R. N. Rutledge Indicted for Perjury
by Some OF Pastor Loves Congrega-
tion.
The First African Baptist church affair
grows more and more interesting, aud every
day seems to bring forth some new devel-
opments, which seems to promise that there
will be some fun before the matter is en-
tirely settled.
1t will be remembered that r. Y. Rut-
ledge, strong member of the ma jori5y, or
the Love side of the contest, swore out
warrants a day or two ago against g num-
Der Of the minority, charging them with
disturbing religious worship, in that they
tried to interfere with the services held at
the church or Monday night last.
Now Rutiedge Is called 90 answer a more
serious charge than that which he has pre-
feTred against several of his brother church
Members in that he has bsen charged with
perjury. and three separate warrants have
ueeu issued fer bis arrest on that charge.

hy Richard Baker, who was charged
with disturbing public worship

court, and :he other two by l.. II. Houston

The Association Prosperous and

The Young Mems Christian Association
has just published a report of the work
done during February and March. The
statistics show a marked improvement in
every departm ent.
The daily average of visits to the build
ing during the last two months has been
Ill, and 100 visitors we're counted at the
rooms during yesterday. Tha average at
tendance at the meetings held has been I'M
usually good, and the prospects for a pros.
porous year all the way through were never
brighter.
During the summer many Improvements
in the rooms are contemplated The at
tendance at the rooms has made it neces-
sery to change their location. especially in
the case OF the reading room, the present
one being entirely too small. The lecture
room has been transformed into first-class
reading room. This has proved the most
popular move of the house committee, and
OF late the attendance has doubled.

TIE TEAM SICK.

Savanuah's Ball Players We're
Knocked Out by Augusta Water.
Manager Manning and his ball team ar
rived home yesterday at II o'clock from Au.
gusta looking hagZard, The looks were
not caused by tho defeat at the hands of the
Augustans, but as q result of illness which
every member OF the team experienced on
account of the sudden change from pure
artesian water to Savannah river water.
Thursdays defeat can be attributed to
this cause. Manager Manning says every
member Of Savanuahs club was sick on the
field during the game, and the only thing he
wonders at is that they were able TO play
bail at oil. He says the members will be in
fine trim, however, by the opening of the
league season Monday, and will do every
thing in their power to down Atlanta.
Manager Manning has sent out special in
vitations for Mondays game to the mayor
and board Of aldermen, the judges OF the
courts, and city and county officers.

arrived yesterday and went into practice at
once. Foster will umpire the Atlanta series.

SIS GOOD as ANY.

Mayor McDouOuEh Talks Plainly
bout the Quarantine = after.
Mayor McDonoUgh Is vexed about the
telegram sent out from New York that Sa-
vannah haE the poorest equipped quaran>
tine station in the south. He thinks the
story was sent out by some enemy Of
Savannah, and doubts if anything of the
kind was SAID at the conference, because
Dr. Drummer, who il there, would promptly
refu,e it. Savannah" said Mayor Nc
DonouRh. SIS as well equipped IN
quarantine affairs es any city on
the South Atlantic or Gulf coast. but sho
has not quite as expeditions machinery as
New Orleans or Charleston, although the
results are equally as good. AS SION as the
plans are arranged, which will be in a few
weeks at most, Savannah will have the
same style of modern machinery as used in
New Orleans aud Charleston. Anybody
who says Savannah has poor quarantine
facilities either does not know what he Is
talking about or else deliberately twists the
TRUTH
DR.. Drummer will not be back until next
week, and Mayor McDonough thinks be
will DC in position TO tell exactly what trans
pred at the conference relative to Savan-
nah.
