LIEUTENANT PEARY.

On April IS Peary, Baldwin, Entrikin
and Clarke, with "a dogs, arrived at An
niversary Lodge--hsvinR advanced In 81
days 1874 miles-and there cached their TO
naming supplies and equipment, leaving
Astrup, Lee and Davidson In charge, DIR.
Vincent having been previously sent back
incapacitated by sickness or injury from
further service.
Bad weather and succession OF
storms eliminated on March ~, while %
members of the expedition were at camp
40 miles from Anniversary Lodge, at an
elevation of $500 feet. In the equinoctisl
storm, which continued for four days, the
temperature averaged from 45e to 55e be-
low zero, and the wind for "a consecutive
hours blew IS miles an hour.
Bitter weather Experienced.
The severity of the weather far exceeded
that sustained by any other Arctic explor-
ing party. All of the explorers escaped
serious injury, except Davidson. whose
left foot was frozen, but has since fully re-
covered. Many of the dogs were frozen
solid, and others had to be chopped out OF
the ice.
Messrs. Peary, Baldwin, Entrikin and
Clarke pushed on, and In IA days were 50
miles farther. The maximum days
march was only Is miles. and as the
plague had carried OF many dogs. En-
trikin being unfit for travel, and the party
so reduced by hardships tho plans for
the summer could not possibly be car
ried out. especially as only one-fourth Of
the distance 20 Independence bay had been
accomplished. 1t was therefore decided to
return.
The dogs continued to die on the home
ward march, compelling the abandonment
of the sledge during May.
On the trip the party surveyed and
mapped hitherto unknown coast line to
Melville bay for $50 miles.
Messrs. Peary and Lee were the first
white men to see, locate aud measure the
historic iron meteorite near Cape York.
Mr.. Entrikin and DR.. Vincent made =
sledge journey to Littleton island, and
would have reached Kane's headquarters
but for open water.

FACTS ABOUT A WATCH.
Screws So Minute IL Is Impossible to Dis
tinguish Them From Dust.

The watch carried by the average man Is
composed Of 0S pieces, and its manufacture
embraces more than 5000 distinct and
separate operations. Some Of tho smaller
screws are so minute that the unaided eye
cannot distinguish them from steel filings
or spccks Of dirt. Undera powerful mag
nifying glass q perfect screw Is revealed
The slit in the head IS tpn one thousandths
of an inch wide. II takss 80S, 900 OF these
screws to weigh IA pound, and pound is
worth 81, 5S5.
The hairspring Is strip OF the finest
steel, about 9x inches long, one one-hun-
dredth inch wide and t~ ~enty seven ton
thousandths inch thick. 1t is coiled up in
spiral form and finely tempered. The proc
ess of tempering these springs was long
held as n secret by the few fortunate ones
possessing it and even now Ia not general
y known. Their mapufacture requires
great skill and care. The strip Is gauged
10 twenty oce-thousandths Of an inch, but
no measuring instrument has yet been de
vised capable OF fine enough gauging to de-
termine beforehand by the size of the strip
what the strength of the finished spring
will be. A twenty one thousandth part of
an inch difference In the thickness OF the
stop makes n difference I'm the running of
watch of about s!x minutes an hour
The vale of these springs, when finished
and placed I'm watches. is enormous I'm pro-
portion to the material from which they
are made. A comparison will give good
idea A ton of steel made up into hair
springs when I'm watches Is worth morethan
12h times the value of the same weight
In pure gold Hairspring wire weighs one
twentieth of grain 60 an inch. One mule
of wire weighs less than half n pound.
The balance gives five vibrations every
second, 300 e~.sry minute, $4,000 every
hour, 432, 900 every day and 157,0s0, 900
every year.
AT each vibration it rotates about I y
times, which makes 1917, 100, 600 revolutions
every year In order that we may better
understand the stupendous amount of la
Dor performed by these tiny works, let us
make pertinent comparison. Take, for
illustration, n locomotive with six foot
driving wheels. Let Its wheels be run un.
Gil they have given the same number Of
revolutions that watch does I'm one year
and they wRl have covered distance equal
TO 80 complete circuits Of the earth All
this watch does without other attention
than winding once every "a hours.-New

WE FEAR THE BREAKERS.

(Gazette.)
1t is reported by the county assessor
that the total assessed valuation of
Whitman county this year will not ex
coed $12,000000. We believe that this
will represent a fair valuati IN of the
property assessed for tax purposes.
Taxes derived rom this valuation will
with economy we believe pay the run
ming expenses of the county's govern
ment, but no more, so that any residue
of debt that may remain on January l,
1895, we shall be unable to pay. 1t is
our debt which we fear will prove a dan
Rerous breaker. Let us consider the
matter. The law provides that counties
may go in debt to an amount equal to
one and half per cent. OF the assessed
valuation. In the case of Whitman
county in 1898 the limit was and now Ia
1896, 349,06 The present debt of the
county is in the vicinity of $33O'OOO.
But the great danger is in the future.
If the assessment roll shows a valuation
O f only $12,000,000 our limit of indebt-
edness will only be $1S0,000-less than
l
the amount of our bonded Indebtedness
OF course this fact will not affect all
debt contracted prior to the first of next
January, but it will hold absolute sway
after that time and if the intention OF
the law is strictly followed, no warrant
thereafter issued will be other than void.
1t is difficult to see any way out of the
difficulty except by the Legislature rails
ing the limit of indebtedness. but we
believe such an enactment would meet
with fierce opposition. The Gazette
does not think Whitman county is any
worse fix than the various other coun-
ties of the stat. and indeed in several of
the western counties it is reported that
the courts have refused to try civil
cases because the judges hold that the
county Is heyond its limit and cannot
legally incur any court costs.

The condition of the wheat crop as
compared with the corresponding time
in 1893 is 81 4 per cent against S6,7
per cent. last year. The government
figures would indicate crop Of winter
wheat amounting to 250,000,000 bush
els, il the conditions prevailing on the
first of the month should continue until
the crop is harvested. At the best this
Weld is not likely to be increased and
over I50,000,000 bushels of spring
wheat can hardly be expected, SO that
there is little or no prospect that the
total wheat crop of the country will ex-
coed 100000 bushels, These figures
of yield appear when placed alongside
of 512,O00,OOO bushels in 1884 or Gill;
100000 bushels in 1891.
