WATCHES.
Some Facts Concerning the StyIes..-The
Great Number of Watches Used.

Treat NunpeT OF watches OSeC.
In this country almOs. everybody car
ries n watch. Probably nine-tenths Of
the men, and great numbers OF W )rlen,
and many young people carry watches.
In the best trade of the city many
more watches of gold are sold :han of
silver; of all the watches sold through
out the country about % per cent. are
of gold. The percentage OF gold
watches is increasing.
The fashionable watch OF the day is
open faced. The sale of oDen-faccd
watches Is increasing, 'ype sally in Tine
watches, but it is increasing also il
watches of other grl les. or fine
watches sold in this city probably two
thirds are now made open faced. OF
all the watches sold in the United
States, sOid AMI silver probably from a
quarter to q third are now made open
faced.
The modern watch has for one of its
characteristics thinness. A mans
watch, which is now made more espec-
tally to wear with evening dress and is
all the time growing in favor, is a plain,
thin, open faced gold watch which
takes up but little room in the pocket.
Perfect in its simplicity, this watch is
at the same time Of fine workmanship
and great beauty. 1t sells at $3.50. A
gold watch not SO thin nor so finely
finished, but very handsome modern
watch and an excellent timekeeper, by
the same makers and bearing their
name can be bought in open face, the
case Of 10 carat gold, for $65; in double
case for $40.
But gold watches and good watches,
too, can be bought for very much less
than these prices; in fact there never
was a time when watches generally
were made in such tasteful shapes, or
when they were so good for the money,
or so cheap as now.
Taking all the grades together, the
American production of watches is
about 1000 daily; the importation Of
watches amounts to about the same
number. One might ut first wonder
what becomes of all these watches. A
great number are taken up annually,
by the new buyers coming into the mar
ket for the first time, out Of the con-
slant and large increase in the pOpula-
ton. Great as the percentage Of watch
owners now is in this country, that also
is increasing. Many immigrants buy
watches as soon as they get the money;
some men own more than one watch;
watches wear out, or their owners lay
them aside for a better watch or for
one Of the newer style; watches are lost
and destroyed; and when one comes to
take all these things into consideration
1t will be seen that the great production
of watches may be In large measure
easily accounted for.-New York Sun.

APHENONEMAL HUMAN HEART
I Beats So Loud That il C;s, Be Heard
Twelve Feet Away.

Twelve Feet Away.
Two great English physicians are the
authority for the unique and strange
fact that there is girl in London town
whose heart beats so loud that its
"murmur'' can be heard twelve feet
away. This Is a case so unprecedented
in medical annals that doctors acknowl-
edge 1t the loudest heartbeat in the
world. When it comes to be considered
that hearts under ordinary conditions
beat silently, so that they cannot be
beard unless ones ear Is put close to
the chest, the wonder and the oddity
of heart whose pulsations can actu-
ally be heard four yards away, or fully
across the ordinary room Of city
house, lis manifest.
One would think that such a girl
would be in very bad way, that she
must be seriously i'll and likely to die
quickly. But Just the reverse Is true.
The girl who has this unique heart,
fifteen-year-old English maiden, OF
rugged health, strength and vigor, Is so
well that the only inconvenience she
feels from her abnormal heart action
is that she gets quickly out of breath.
In all other respects she is quite in nor
NAL health. Her heart Is not enlarged
or dilated, and she is able to do the
things day by day that an ordinary
English girl does.
Not only can the beating Of her heart
be heard twelve feet away, but 1t can be
heard when the young woman has all
her clothes on. The doctors that have
reported the case have experimental to
a considerable extent with her, and
they have found out what Is even more
remarkable, viz, that II, her chest
being barred, she stands three feet away
from a closed door and a listener places
himself three feet on the other side Of
the door, the listener can hear her heart
beat distinctly and perfectly.
The curious disease with which she
is affected Is known scientifically as
"mitral murmur," ''mitraI' being the
technical name Of the valve between
the left auricle and the left ventricle of
the heart Thus the disease is what il
known as n valvular trouble In most
cases any valvular affection Of the car
diac region Is attended with consider
able danger, and not infrequently II re-
suits in death within n few years. But
the physicians anticipate no such term
ination in this girls case. She is in too
good health generally and she feels
little Inconvenience from the malady.
IL 1t be one.

different days at different Roman police
offices) as to my exact age occupation,
and place of birth, the Christian name

II I should recognize my robbers IL

on the March evening on which I was
robbed 1t was already almost dark.
But the police official said: "a group
of men will come into the end Of this
room ;see IL you recognize any Of them"
I said: Eyes, the second from the wall

tickled vanity, for they thought, Of
course, the reporter admired them.
"Good men," in criminal and police
parlance, are thieves who do "clean
work." That is to say, they plan O rob-
berry and carry it through without
noise, without injuring anyone, and
without leaving n clue behind them.
1t is rule among such men never to
shoot. They carry arms and draw
them to brighten alarmists into silence,
but IL a bluff is not successful they pre-
fer to run. Commenting on this rule
Of criminal practice, a detective once
soberly advised that the man who
wakes up at night to see a masked face
and revolver over him, shout and
jump up as IL to fight.
Suppose the burglar isn't q good
man." objected the reporter.
'Then he'll do something so we can
send him up for life."

ives professional view of crime, which
is limited and unconventional like the

mony and TO avoid expense, should be
respected by the Court, so long as II
continues in force; and we see no diff
ficulty in holding that as between the
co-tenants themselves it is good, so
far as the mere right of possession is
concerned. Certainly the defendant had
consented in writing TO the allotments
made in the method pursued. This is
q necessary inference from his signing
the constitution. which is in fact an
agreement as TO the method of using the
common property. The custer by de-
PENDANT is in direct violation of his
agreement. which he by inference made
when the resolution of 1890 was passed
by the company, and TO which he pre-
sumably consented.
We held in line with this view that
rules made by tenants in common reg
ulating the management of their land
as regards paAurage thereupon, were
binding until reseindeO upon owners
and leSsees having notice. In this view

lowing with reference to Col. w. r.
King In charge Of the river engineer
corps in this city:
1.-TWO years ago Col. w. X. King.
OF the engineers, and in command at
Willets Point, N. Y. had an idea OF
making an enormous magnet. He
took an old cannon Of large size,
wrapped IL with wire and sent an
electric current through It. The re-
suit exceeded his expectations.
Everything Of iron in the immediate
neighborhood left its bearings, and
flew to the gun. A crowbar weigh
ing ?5 pounds, stuck there with such
force that II required all the strength
OF two stout men to pull It away. It
Is now suggested that . line Of these
magnets be placed at the entrance OF
our harbors, in case Of war. and con.
nected With the powerful electric
batteries on shore. This could be
done at relatively small expense.
