A Perugian Superstition,

The girls of the Perugian highlands
believe as firmly as any heroine of The
ocritus that person possessing a lock
of another persons hair can will pain.
disease and even death to the owner
Of the hair, and thus when maidens give
their betrothed lovers the customary
plated tress it is virtually their life and
all their power of suffering that they
give into those trusted hands.
If the man should prove unfaithful
and disease descend upon the unhappy
woman, she is not, however, utterly lost,
the experienced matrons Of her village
have means to transfer the complaint to
a tree, to an animal or to cast it into
running water. The patient must rise
in the early dawn, touch certain plant
in certain manner, saying, "May thou
wither and flourish again." or bind her
complaint to tree in a given fashion,
taking care never to pass again before
that tree lest the disease, recognizing its
former possession, return to her again.

MECHANISM OF A WATCH.
A Wonderful Little Machine That Took
Hundreds of 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 IN 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 80 pieces,
and its manufacture embraces more than
1000 distinct and separate operations.
Some of the smallest screws are so
minute that the unaided eye cannot dis
tinguish them from steel filings or specks
Of dirt. Under a powerful magnifying
glass a perfect screw is revealed. The
elit in the head is 2-1 900 of an inch
wide. 1t takes 8Os.0O0 of these screws
to weigh pound, and a pound is worth
t1,6e5. The hairspring is strip of the
finest steel, about ~ inches long and
LOO inch wide and 27-10, 900 inch thick.
II 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 1t and even now
is not generally known. Their manu-
facture requires great skill and care.
The strip is gauged to col 900 of an
inch, but no measuring instrument has
yet been devised capable of fine enough
gauging to determine beforehand by the
size Of the strip what the strength Of the
finished spring will be. A 100, 900 part
of an inch difference in thickness of the
strip makes 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 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 in watches is
worth more than 12t times the value of
the same weight in gold. Hairspring
wire weighs 1-20 Of grain to the inch.
One mile of wire weighs less than half
a pound.
The balance gives five vibrations ev-
cry second, 300 every minute, $4,000 ev-
cry hour, 432, 900 every day, and 157,-
6s0,000 every year. At each vibration It
rotates about II times, which makes
1877, 100000 every year. In order that
we may better understand the stupen-
dous amount Of labor performed by these
tiny works, let us make comparison.
Take, for instance, locomotive with
0 foot driving wheels. 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 to 2s complete circuits
Of the earth. All this watch does
without other attention than winding
once every "a hours.-Locomotive Engi-
neer.

Duration Of Nosh's Flood.

In Gould's "Notes and Queries" vol.
ume Q, page 2s4, the following questions
are asked: "Are the floods known as
Noah's, Ducalion's and the Atlantean

samef" The editor refers the question

George of Chicago answers It, inciden-
tally giving the following curious par
ticulars and minute details concerning
the great breaking up Of the waters:"
"The deluge was threatened in the year
1886 and began on Dec. z, 1856, B. c.,
Ind continued 877 days. The ark rested
upon Mount Ararat on May 0. 1857, but
Noah did not leave it until Dec. 1s fol-
lowing" Any reader who imagines that
IL would be an easy task to figure these
details from the Biblical account can
find basis for his calculations in the
seventh and eighth chapters of Genesis.

Effect of Lightning on the BODY.

In describing the recent death of n
boy by lightning a dispatch stated that
an accurate picture of trees and foliage
in the vicinity of the accident was made
on the boys body, which phenomenon
was supposed to have been produced by
the lightning in a manner similar to
that of making pictures or photography.
This, however, is not correct. While
such marks are observable occasionally
on the bodies Of persons killed they bear
no relation whatever to foliage of sur
rounding trees, although they bear GER
tain resemblance to those objects. There
is really no photographing of tho image
of the trees on the body. That the ac-
tual cause is quite different can be proved
by experiment in the laboratory. When
electricity is discharged at high tension,
as lightning is, on the surface of a body
having poor conducting power, a lu-
minous arborescent image Is formed,
showing the path Of one or more of the
sparks resulting from the discharge.
This was most beautifully shown In
the experiments carried out with high
tension currents in London by Swim
burne. The current would exhibit scat
tered lines of light that would develop
into most exquisite tracery and take the
form of plants or trees. The theory Of
this phenomenon is that the irregular
courses taken by the spark may be due
to the compression of air in the path of
the discharge, or to superior conductiv-
ity of some parts of the surface of the
body.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Ice Cream Poisoninc.

This is a reproach to the professions
of medicine and chemistry. Year after
year, with mournful reiteration, there
are many reports of fatal cases. The
deaths from this source must immensely
exceed those from hydrophobia, but Pas
teur institutes spring up like mushrooms
in every country, while the deaths of
the victims of poisoning by the cream
are passed over in silence. Would it not
be well to look into this matter? Would
1t not be well to prove or disprove the
theory of writer that the common ice
cream freezer is often an electric battery
decomposing toxic products by means
of the mixture acting as an electrotype?
