built lad for his weight, which is

In order to test his strength,
Weimar gave a private exhibition
at Attilla's studio, 248 East Twen-
ty-third street, yesterday morning.
A few friends, including the Sun
reporter, were present, The first
thing he was to lift was a 145 pound
dumb bell, with one hand, from the
floor, holding it out at arms length,
then putting it over his head, He
held it up in this position for sever
al minutes without any difficulty.
Then he picked up, with both hands,
two 56.pound weights and raised
them in the air. Resting the
weights on the back of his wrists,
he lowered and raised them alter
nately with ease, Harness, to which
was attached six iron hooks, was
placed around the lad neck and
shoulders, Dumb bells, weights
and bars were suspended from the
hooks, three Of which rested upsn
his chest and three upon his back
Then a two-handed bar dumb bell
weighing 1875 pounds was thrown
across his neck. Two men hung
with their arms upon the ends Of
the bar and pressed with all the
strength at their command, Wei
mar stood the strain without exer.
tion. The combined weight which
he carried aggregated over 800
pounds, Weimar then juggled a
l25 pound bar with one hand. At

FACTS ABOUT a WATCH
Screws 50 Minute That the Eye Can't
Uell Them From Dust

. The watch carried by the average
man is composed Of uinety.eight
piecesand its manufacture embraces
more thau2, 900 distinct and, sepa-
rate operations Some of the small
er screws are so minute that the
unaidedeyc cannet distinguish them
from steel filing or .specks Of dirt.
under a magnifying glass, a perfect
screw is revealed, The slit in the
head is two one, thousandths OF an
inch, wide Ittakes 3O8,000 81 these
screws to weigh a pound, and'a
pound is worth 1888 The hair
spring is a strip of'theafincst steel
about nine and one-half inches long
one one.hundredth of an inch wide,
and q ten.thousanthS Of an inch
thick, It is coiled UP in a spiral
form and finely tempered The
process Of tempering these springs
was long held a secret by the few
fortunate ones possessing it, and
even now it is not generally known.
The strip is gauged to 20 one 'thous,
andths of,an inch, but. no measuring
instrument has yet t#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 20
one thousandth part Of an inch diff
ference in the thickness Of the stop
makes a difference in the running of
a watch of about six minutes an
hour,
The value of these springs, when
finished and placed in watches, Is
enormous in proportion to the ma
terial from which they are made.
A comparison will give good idea.
A ton of steel made up into hair
springs when in watches is worth
more than ia times the value of
the same weight in pure gold.
Hair spring wire weighs one-twen-
tieth of a grain to the inch, One
mile of the wire weighs less than
half a pound The balance gives

TERRITORY LAWLEsSNEss.
Judge Parker's Sensational Statement
Arkansas Debt Settle
ment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-A delega-
cation from the Indian Territory
appeared before joint meeting of
the House Committee on judiciary
and Territories today, to oppose the
Dawes Commission plan, and the
bill of Senator Berry and Congress
man Little to open up that country
to settlement, and eventually to
admit it to statehood. The delega-
tion were unanimous nstating that
their people desired statehood eyens
tnally, but we're not yet prepared
for such responsibility. Judge
Parker of Fort Smith, was present
and was requestedby the commit
tee to give his views on the ques.
tion. He was rather sensational in
his statements regarding preva-
lence of crime in Territory, assert
ing that the great number of often
ses committed in the Indian couD-
try and that greater part of the
lawlessness there was due to crimi-
nails who were refugees from the
States, Commencing on the at
tempt, so called, to take the land
from the Indians, he made broad
statement that it was but "a combin-
ed effort to add another chapter to a
century of dishonor The commit
tee was much interested in the
Judges address, but the Arkansas
delegation are inclined to resent his
statements with reference to the
prevalence Of crime in the States
as compared to the Territory and a
member said tonight that he would
at an early date refute and disprove
the assertion also stating that Judge
Parker was evidently bent on con-
tinuing the existing condition in
the Indian country in order to per-
petrate the power and jurisdiction
of his court at Ft, Smith.
