The fabrication Test.
Philadelphia Record.


Very few of the millions OF people
who carry watches realize to what 4
wonderful extent fabrication is de-
veloded and what an extraordinary
number of turns the balance wheel
makes with one oiling. A Chestnut
street matchmaker, whose knowledge
of these wonderful pieces OF mechanism
is not exceeded by any man in this
city, has made up an interesting table
of comparison to show the perfection
of fabrication in watch.
A watch will run ON one oiling from
q year to year and a half. Every
minute the balance wheel turns on its
axis $50 times and 27,OOO times in an
hour. Accepting year as the time
the ordinary watch will run with one
oiling, he finds that ii the driver OF a
locomotive was rs well oiled as a bal
ance wheel of watch it ought to run
60 miles an hour day and night for
64S days, or we'll on to two years, with
one oiling. In that time it would
traverse n distance equal to nearly 40
times the circumference of the earth.
In view of the fact that in reality
few locomotives will run one day with
out reoiling, he maintains that the
matchmaker has developed his art to
q far greater degree than the locomo-
tive builder has yet been able to reach.

BAD EFFECT
The x-Ray Has ON the Health of

And are you doing nothing with
the N-rays?" I asked Mr.. Edison.
"Oh, YES. have four men ut work

attention to the N-ray experiments,
save in the way OF superintendence.
found | had to call myself off. No
one man can work continuously at the
N-rays. They have very detrimen-
tai effect on the bodily health, though
luckily the effects are merely tempor-
airy. Why, at the present time my eye
Is loot out OF focus. 1t will be back
to its normal condition, however, dur
ing the three months rest | have

cultIes also supervened from the ex-
cessive work with the rays. My hair

my hands are better, but even now

tie trouble and pain. All this will
wear off. A man whom | employed

His skin is wrinkled and burned. You

But few months will restore him.
Indeed, it will not he q mere restora-
ton, but in some respects an impro ve-
ment. | find that the skin, which

ness" concluded Mr.. Edison, laugh

An Automatic Pay Roll.
Engineering News.

In the making up Of pay roll, rs
at present done, with few exceptions,
each mans time must be multiplied
by his rate OF pay per hour. Where
fractions appear, either in time or
rate, considerable amount of mental
effort and time are necessary, and a
considerable chance of error is intro
duced. A new invention is intended
to obviated these chances of error and
greatly economize the labor required
for computing wages. The manufac-
turers of the machine have calculated
all numbers of hours, from l to 800
per week, at all rates of pay, from So
to $21 per week, and arranged these
values in such a way that the operator
may set the machine and read the re-
suits directly, with no mental effort or
chance of mistake. The auditor of a
railroad company which has given the
machine a thorough trial states that
one man with the calculator can do
the work of four men without it.

the men. With what grace and calm
ness and infinite tenderness for Others
did Anne Boleyn and Mary OF Scot
land lay their fair necks on the block .
Even the fearless Raleigh suffers Ivy
comparison, for their queenly dignity
rxcclled his halfjocular carelessness.
When we come 70 physical self-sacri-
tee. to giving ones lie TO save the
most dear to us. women stand almost
alone. Whether to suck a poisoned
wound. or 70 intervene and receive the
rssaSsin' : dagger, or TO nurse the wound
ed in the midst of battle. or to watch
by the couch of pestilence and death.
or to commit suicide to save their own
and their husbands honor. they have
acted without parallel on the part OF
men. WOman's love is stronger than
her fears, and there is no sacrifice that
she will not cheerfally make for him
who sways her heart. What she does
by impulse man ieebly tries to do bv
calculation.
But II is in moral courage that wo-
man shines. Just rs the greater
strength and training of man makes
him superior. so the moral strength
and training of woman makes him
morally her inferior. In loyalty,
truthfulness, chastity, fidelity, pity,
sobrlety, houestv. and general perse-
verence in well-doing. she is immeas-
urably above him. This has been not
ed by great writers in every age, and it
would not be difficult to discover whv
she Is so much mans moral superior.
Vaudeville thought it was because her
brain was more accurately balanced.
We think, however, that it is largely
owing to higher standard of moral
conduct having been constantly de-
manded from her from remotest times.
But she must insist upon further phys
lcal advancement, and man should
look to his morals, that sexual harmo-
ny may result.
1t is no wonder that the towards
and narrow-hearted among the men
are bitterly opposing the New Wo-
man." They see the rod of empire"
slipping from their grasp, and feel that
their brute force and cunning cannot
save them. Women are already mems
moral superiors. Their physique is
more rapidly than mems.
Altogether, the outlook assures us of
sexual equality ut no far distant date.
Whenever it arrives, it will give a uni
versal impetus to progress, and mark
a new and happier era for humanity;
for Right, not Might, will govern, and
the worthiest wear the crown. The
brave women of the past and present
will then be revered as the daring pio-
neers in the discovery of New Heay-
en- and New Earth.

Wealth VS.. Poverty.
New York World.

There was an income tax which
yielded $22,O00,OOO of revenue in
1866. 1t was tax upon superfuous
wealth, and it was repealed. There
was tax upon manufactures which
yielded $l7 100000. 1t was a tax on
wealth, and it was repealed. There
was a tax on railroads, another on
hanks and bank deposits, another on
express companies, another on insur.
ance companies. But all these taxed
wealth, and they were all swept away
by the Republican legislation. Even
the petty stamp tax on bank checks,
deeds and conveyances was abolished
in order that wealth might be COM
pletely relieved of its share of the
public burden. But the taxes on
food, clothing and everything else
that the people consume were retained
and even increased.
In brief, it has been the steadfast
policy of the Republican legislation to
shift the burden of government sup
port from wealth to poverty, from
superfuity to necessity. And now
that we have peremptory need of
more revenue the only suggestion
made by the Republican party or its
candidates is to tax the people more
heavily on the necessaries of lite.
There is no thought of restoring any
of the taxes upon wealth, upon luxury,
upon indulgence, upon superhuity,
which yielded revenue 80 richly in the
past without making it harder for any
toiler to live and without abridging
anybody's ability to support his family
in comfort.

WHOLE NUMBER 1861
A Pension Abuse.
OrcgonlEn

The shameless barter OF womanhoOd
for pension which has been going on
in this country in recent years is not
u new development in human nature.
1t was Il traffic greatly i'll vogue
SiXty-iive to seventy-fivc years ago, and
rs a result the nation is barely through
with the Revolutionary widow-the
woman who in her early youth en-
tered into an alliance, under the
cloak of matrimony with the aged,
disabled and discrepit veteran, to the
end that the nations favors might be
continued to her after his impending
dissolution. In view of the largely
increased number of veterans of the
civil war, whose pensions make them
attractive to this class OF Young wo-
men, Congress should lose no time in
correcting this abuse by proper legisla-
ton. 1t is bad enough when Presi-
dents and ex-Presidents OF the United
States marry women Young enough
to have been born to them after they
had attained middle life, thus foisting
a S5,OOO-a-year pens:oner upon the ma
tion for long term OF years, but as
this class OF veterans is necessarily
limited, the abuse OF the nations
charity thereby can never be great,
though the principle involved is the
same. No one grudges the honored
widow of the soldier or statesman,
who shared with him the burden and
heat of public strife, such recognition
of her husbands services to the nation
rs will make her age free from the
shadow OF care; but when q young
woman who married an aged pensioner,
with one eye on his pension and the
other taking speculative notes as to
the probable length of time he would
survive his infrmities, presents her.
self quarterly, from youth to hoary
age, at the pension Office for a prem
ium upon her shameless bargain, the
matter assumes an entirely different
aspect. The popular unwillingness to
pay pensioners of this class should be
backed by refusal to do it. Justice
will indorse and decency will applaud
legislation looking to that end.

Eight hundred years ago all of the
large cities of England had regular
slave markets for the sale OF white
slaves from all parts of the kingdom.
In the Life of Bishop Withstand"
the writer says: 1T was moving
sight to see in the public markets
rows of young people OF both sexes
tied together and sold like cattle
men, unmindful of their obligations,
delivering into slavery their relatives
and even their own children" In
another part of this work 1T is noted
that these slaves were "particularly
young women of fine proportions and
of great beauty"

THE Mauser pistol utilities the force
of the recoil. The firing continues as
long as the trigger is drawn back,
while, if the trigger be released, the
weapon remains loaded and cooked,
ready for the next pull of the finger.
Cartridges are fastened together in
charges of ten, which can be quickly
loaded into the magazine. 1t is also
made for twenty cartridges. Eighty
shots per minute can be fired sue
cessfully. One of these ten-shot pis-
tolls was fired 1900 times without be-
ing cooled or cleaned. 1t operated
perfectly, and no appreciable wear on
the parts was visible.

Most people may not be aware that
in their waking moments they are
continually winking. About five
times every minute the upper eyelid
rapidly fiicks down. At each wink a
tear is swept over the eye and washes
away any specks of dirt or dust. The
action of the ingenious arrangement
for clearing our vision is not evident
to us, nor governed by the will. Some
times when a strong emotion seizes a
person, that part of the brain con-
trolling the tear apparatus becomes
paralyzed or disabled for q moment
then tears are formed in excess and
flow over the cheeks in the well known
form.

4 LATE invention is cold stove. 1t
is for use in the heated months of sum-
mer for reducing the temperature. BY
the use of salt, small quantity of ice,
and patented chemical compound a
most intense degree of cold is secured.
1t is as dangerous to touch this stove
when in operation as it would be to
place the hand on fire stove when red
hot. The skin is instantly taken off,
and painful injuries are the result of a
slight contact. The inventor claims
that, during the hottest weather, the
temperature of a room may be run
dawn and made pleasant by the use of
this novel device. The cost of operat-
ing the stove is light.

submarine cables are looming up as a

each stranded interior wire. A 100
