A Boston jeweler who has a talent
for advertising Is we'll IS a genius for
mechanics has been n nlinding his pa
irons lately that wal h is the small
est, most delicate maLhine that was
ever constructed of the same number Of
parts. About 175 different pieces Of ma
terial enter into it's construction and
upward Of 2, 400 separate operations are
comprised in its manufacture. ..-. "a
Some Of the facts connected with it's
performance are simply incredi BILE,
when considered in total. A blacksmith
@rikes several thousand blows Oh his
Mvil in day and is right glad when
Sunday comes around, but the roller
jewel of watch makes every day and
day after day 432, 900 impacts against
the fork, or 157, $50, 900 blows In year
without stop or rest, or 1888, 100000
i'll the short space of, 30 years.
These figures are beyond the grasp of
our feeble intellects, but the marvel
does not stop here. 1t has been estimat-
ed that the power that moves the watch
is equivalent to only four times the
force used in fea's jump; consequent.
ly it might be called four flea power.
One horsepower would suffice to run
100000, 900 watches.

Worth Appreciated.

In his younger days the late Mr.. W.
H. Smith was usually present to see
the morning papers dispatched, and one
morning something at one of the Offices
had gone wrong, SO that there was great
risk Of that paper missing the trains
Mr.. Smith, recognizing the difficulty,
threw off his coat, worked away as hard
as any of his subordinates and had the
satisfaction of seeing the vans leave
with just time to catch the trains.
He was afterward leaning over one Of
the tables reading a paper, still in his
shirt sleeves, when one of the men,
mistaking him for a mate, gave him a
resounding Smack ON his broad back,
exclaiming:
"Well, Jack, old man, we got that
lot away smartly." When "W. H..
raised himself, the man rushed away,
terrified by his blunder.
On coming on duty at night the man
received note addressed to him. which
he concluded contained the "sack," but
to his surprise it was to inform him
that from the end of that week he
would be a foreman. "W. H." had
sense enough to see that man who was
so delighted at having accomplished a
difficult task for his employers was
made of the right stuff. Pearson 8

The blind man has to depend almost
entirely ca the accuracy of his ears to
guide him wherever he may wish to go,
and IT is remarkable in what a short
time he becomes familiar with NEW
locality and fresh surroundings
Few people|are aware of the powers
of>tBe ear hnt the blind, through con-
slant exercise of that organ, are able to
discover objects almost as rapidly as a
seeing person.
For instance, when walking in per-
feet calm, he can ascertain the proxim-
ity ct objects by the feeling of the at
mOsphere upon his face. 1t would seem
at Arst that the echo given back, were
it only from his breathing, might be
sensible 10 his ear, but it has been as
certained by experiment that a blind
man with his ears stopped can tell when
any large object is close to his face,
even when it approaches SO slowly as
not to cause any sensible current of air.
When he is walking along the street,
he can tell whether it is wide or mar
row, VIII ether the houses are high or
low, if any opening which he may be
passing is court closed up at the end
or whether it has an outlet to another
street, and he cam tell by the sound Of
his footsteps in what lane. or court, or
square he is
He goes along boldly, seeming to see
with his ears and to have landmarks in
the air. Of course no blind man likes
to 60 over a new route unattended, but
after he has traversed it once he knows
every point of Importance to him

A SOAP BUBBLE.
The Relation of Its Varying Thinness to
the Colors IL Shows.

the CoIors 1t shows.
The extreme thinness of the bubble ia
indeed wonderful. It is estimated that
the film in some places is OILY one
three-millionthso of an inch in thickness
Probably few of us can conceive of such
thinness. Let me express it in another
way. The Old and the New Testament
contain soma 3, 900, 900 of letters. Now
tone three-millionth is such part of an
inch as the first letter of the Bible is q
part of the sum of all of its letters.
The bubble, however, is not Of equal
thickness at all points, and it is for this
reason that it has the various colors.
For instance, wherever the film is
orange red it measures about three mil
lionths of an inch; where it is blue,
eighty one-millionths of an inch, and
at point where lemon yellow is prom
inent about twenty one-lnillionths Of an
inch. Perhaps you wonder why tho col
ors change from one part of the soap
bubble to another. This is because the
film of the soap bubble evaporates and
grows thinner, but unequally so at diff
ferent psrsions. A greenish blue with q
pale rose red spot near it indicates an
extreme thinness, and at such point
the film is ready to give way at the
least jar.
You will be glad to know the source
of the beautiful colors. Every one is de-
lighted with them, even if not interest
ed by the explanation of their origin.
We may say that they come ilom the
light. Light gives color to all objects,
but not exactly as it does to the soap
bubble Waite light from the sun can
be broken into the seven colols which
we have seen in the rainbow. In that
instance the raindrops separate it into
its parts A glass prism will do the
same, as you may prove by looking
through glass pendant from hanging
lamp. When the light reaches the sur
face Of the soap bubble part is reflect
ed from it, and we see images ON its
surface as il 1t were curved mirror.
Another portion Of the light, however,
enters the Aim and is separated SO that
parts Of the seven colors are thrown
into the bubble, and we can see them at
various portions of the opposite surface
Another part of the light, after being
broken by the film, is reflected by its
inner surface back to our eyes, so that
we see oolors at the point where the
light enters jacob r. Butcher in ST.
