FIRST WATCH EVER MADE.


81as1Mg Oedss.
About three hundred and seventy
i've years ago the first watch was made,
and it is still in running order. Clocks
were made long before watches, the
year 600 after Christ being about the
time when clocks with wheel works,
the power being given by hanging
weights, were first made. But these
timepieces were stationary. Later on
smaller clocks were made, but it was
not until the beginning Of the sixteenth
century that an ingenious locksmith OF
Nuremberg constructed , portable
watch made entirely of iron.
A private collection recently brought
10 New York from Berlin contains the
Arst watch that was ever made, and one
that is still In working order iron
watch OF Peter Henlein, now universal
II occepted - the inventor Of the pock-
e watch, who was loclsmith Of M.
rember9, and WAS born in 1850. Tho
present watch was made certainly not
later than 1890. The works are entirely
Of iron. The back Of the case and tho
cover, which are of bronze, and the
dial, are beautifully ornamented with
arabesques of ingenious design, cut
into the surface and delicately chased.
The dial il divided into twelve hours,
but has NO minute marks ON the spaces.
Above the figure II there il , small
thorn, and shove each OF the other
f1ures . small knob, for convenience Of
feeling the time at night. The early
watches had but one hand, the hour
hand and the handspring, Of hardened
iron, had no casing, but was merely
confined BY four pillars supporting the
hack plate.

The diamond has always been re-

placed it beyond rivalry, namely, that
of hardness. There are several gems
which compete with it in beauty. and
at least ono, the ruby, when OF rare
sire and quality, outrsnlks Il In costli-
ness. But none In the whole list equals
It in hardness.
Diamond cut diamond" has become
. popular saying. The hardest steel
cannot equal the diamond in that re-
spect. The diamond, says recent and
authoritative text book Of chemistry,
.is the hardest form Of matter known. !"
But science progresses, and If nature
has set aside for her king OF gems the
distinction of unparalleled hardness,
the art Of man hds not been equally
considerate. There are at least two
products Of chemical experiment. which
have proved, according to the great
French chemist, Henry Moissan, to be
~ hard as diamonds.
These are produced from the rare
metal titanium. Monsieur Moissan has
succeeded in preparing titanium in the
electric furnace. In the pure form It l.
harder than steel or quartz, and when
combined with silicon or boron, 90 - to
form silicide or boride ct titanium, it
matches the diamond itself in hardness.
Titanium resembles tin In its chem

shape Of needles, arc sometimes found

WITH HIS MOTHER
GENTRY. THE MURDERER OF
MADOE YORKE. IN COURT.
The Room Was Crowded During the Pro-

Deeply Grieved.

Philadelphia, June 22.-That the kill
ing Of Margaret W. Drysdale, the ac-
tress. better known to the theatrical
world as Madge Yorke, by James b.
Gentry. the young actor. in February
last, Is still fresh in the public mind
was evinced by the great multitude
that thronged the court OF oyer and
terniner before Judge Arnold this
morning. where It was announced the
trial Of Gentry would take place. After
arguments by counsel, the case was
continued until the third Monday Of
October.
Among those who watched with in
terest the proceedings to-day was a
quiet little woman away back in the
rear OF the court room. II was Gen.
try's mother, Mrs Chastlna Gentry.
who came on from her home at Rich
mond, Va. to see her only child put in
jeopardy Of his life. She had not seen
him for two years, and was a little
later given her nrst opportunity to talk
to her boy, whose father is dead.
Gentry was led out, but a moment
later bailiff returned, leaned over
and whispered to Lawyer Munco:
He wants to see his mother"
"All right" quickly responded the
lawyer, who went back and escorted
the grieved mother quietly out and
took her to the cell room opposite the
district attorneys office. where she was
permitted to greet her son.
A pathetic and touching scene follow
ed, but only Gentry's guard saw 1t, for
strict orders were given that no one
should be permitted TO enter the place
In which the cells are. The two were
together for long time.
