The hairspring isa strip Of the finest
steel, about 03< inches long, 1-fO0th
inch wide and 27-10, O0Oths Of an inch
thick. It Is coiled mp in spiral form
and finely tempered.
The process of tempering these
springs was long held as . secret by
the few 4ortunate ones possessing it,
and even now IL not generally known.
Their mannfacture requires great
skill and caro-. The strip is gauged to
20-1 ,OOOths of an inch, but no measur-
ing Instrument has as yet been devised
capable of fine enough gauging to de-
termine before hand by the size of the
strip what the strength of the finished
spring will be. A 2O-1, OOOths part OF
an inch difference in the thickness of
the stop makes q difference In the run
ming of the watch of about six minutes
IN hour.
The value of these springs, when
finished and placed in watches, il
enormous In proportion to the material
from which they are made. A COM
parfson will give a good idea.
A ton of steel made up into hair
springs when in watches is worth more
than twelve and q half times the value
Of the same weight in pure gold.
Hairspring wires weigh one-twenti-
eth of a grain to- an inch One mile Of
wire weighs less than half pound.
The balance gives five vibrations
every second, s0os.every minute, $4,000
every hour, 49,, 600 every day and 1877
$50, 900 every year.
At each vibration it revolves about
one and one-fourth times, which
make 1917, 100, 900 revolutions every
year.
In order that we may better under
stand the stupendous amount Of labor
performed by these tiny works, let us
make a pertinent comparison.
Take, for illustration, q locomotive
with G-foot driving wheels. Let it's
wheels be run until they have given
the same number Of revolutions that q
watch does in one year and they will
have covered a distance equal to TWEEN
ty-eight complete circuits of the earth.
All this watch does without other
attention than winding once every
twenty-four hours.-New Moon.

In opening and closing the door, the
projection would engage the notch in
the lever. DR.. Shaw believes that this
plan would keep the door from rs,ttling
in the wind, and make it fit more
snuRly against the jamb-casinE, thus
excluding flies, ants and drafts of air.
1t would also involve less carpenter
work. A door thus fastened could be-
opened with a push, without turning q
knob or lifting a latch.-N. Y. Tribune.

DIR. II. NJ. Shaw, OF Genoa, N. Y, a

itself he would place, at the proper
height, merely q small metal CT wooden
projection. Opposite thereto, in a re-

rounded upper end. To the lower end
is attached a stiff spring, whose up

History OF tho Thermometer.

Hero of Alexandria, who lived about
$50 years before Christ. is said to have
been the real inventor of the rude
weather tester used for measuring
the heat of the atmosphere, which was
continued in use until about thu time
of the opening OF the seventeenth CEN
tury. About the date last mentioned
it was reduced to an instrument more
convenient and accurate by one Sane
tonic, an Italian, and was afterwards
much improved by various scientists,
especially by Fahrenheit, who, in 172O,
added the scale and other important
details, converting the old "tgeather
tester" into an apparatus of much USE

emulsion in destroying the eggs of this
pest on the apple tree, without also in
juring the tree itself. It seems quita

The crimes for which the men
were serving time can be told in
few words. A little over twenty
years ago Kaapuni, who lived on
the Volcano road, about ten miles
from Hilo, was persuaded, through
the influence of q kahuna, to assist
two other young natives in the
murder of an aged Hawaiian and
his wife who were known to have
large amount of money in their
house. This they did, in a most
cold-blooded way, Kaapuni and
another holding the old woman's
arms while the third split
her head with a Ratchet. They
then attacked the old man, and
murdered him. The kahuna got
all the money, about $500. The
murderers were all arrested. One
turned States evidence, and es-
capped, while the others were both
sentenced to be hanged. kaa-
puni's sentence was afterwards
