THE WONDERS OF A WATCH
Few Persons Know How Great Its MAJ
vicious Powsfh Aro. -

Few Persons Know How Great Its Mar
veious Powefs Arc. "a
A Boston jeweler who has a talent
for advertising as we'll as a genius for
mechanics has been reminding his pa
irons lately that q watch is the small
est, most delicate machine that was
ever constructed of the same number of
parts. About l76 different pieces Of ma
teriai enter into its construction and
upward Of 2,400 separate operations are
comprised In its manufacture.
Some of the facts connected with its
performance are simply incredible,
when considered in total. A blacksmith
strikes several thousand blows on his
anvil in a day and is right glad when
Sunday m around, but the roller
jewel Of o watch makes every day and
day after day 4s2, 900 impacts against
the fork, or 1877, $50. 900 blowsin a year
without stop or rest, or 8, l58, 800. 600
In the short space Of 30 years.
These figures r 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 a fiea's jump; consequent.
ly 1t might be called q four flea power.
One horsepower would suffice to run
27O, 900, 900 watches. gs3
Now the balance wheel Of q watch is
moved by this four flea power one and
forty-three one-hundredths inches with
each vibrations, 558A miles continu.
ously in one year.
II you would preserve the timekeep.
ing qualities Of your watch, you should
take it to a competent matchmaker once
every 10 months. -Youth' s Companion.

A SOAP BUBBLE.

The Relation Of Its Varying T%ilinness to
the Coiors 1t Shows.
The extreme thinness Of the bubble is
indeed wonderful. 1t is estimated that
the film in some places is only II
three-millionths Of an inch in thickness.
Probably few of us can conceive of such
thinness. Let me express it i'll another
way. The Old and the New Testament
contain soma 3, 900, 900 of letters. Now
one three-millionth is such a part Of an
inch as the first letter of the Bible is a
part of the sum of all Of it's 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
vt a point where lemon yellow is prom
inent about twenty one-millionths of all
inch. Perhaps you wonder why the coll
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 portions. A greenish blue with a
palo rose red spot near it indicates an
extreme thinness, and at such a 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 from the
light. Light gives color to all objects,
but not exactly as 1t does to the soap
bubble. White light from the sun can
be broken into the seven colors which
we have seen in the rainbow. T. In that
instance the raindrops separate it into
Its parts. A glass prism will do the
same. as you may prove by looking
through a glass pendant from a hanging
lamp. When the light reaches the sur
face Of the soap bubble, a part is reflect
ed from it, and we .see'images ON it's
surface as if 1t were a curved mirror.
Another portion Of the hight, however,
enters the film and is separated o 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 u eyes, SO that
we see colors at the point where the
light enters. Jacob F.. Butcher in st
Nicholas.

Apropos of a recent order that brake
men shall speak dramatically and dis

waukee and st. Paul railroad says:
I'VE wish our men to use good Ian

us whether a man uses good grammar
or speaks as though he had never at
tended even a district school. In order
that there may be no confusion, we
have ordered conductors to tell brake
men to say, The next station Is Chicago.
Our brakemen do not mako many mis-
takes in grammar, but we cannot help
it if a man is a foreigner and makes a
mistake in pronunciation. The train
men understand that their services are
appreciated more when they know how
to announce stations properly"
