A Watch That Winds Itself.

| The latest novelty in the line of time
keepers will appeal to lazy and forgetful
| people. 1t consists of a watch which
| does not require any winding. All that
| is necessary for its owner to do, in order
to have the time with him always, is to
walk half a mile a day. The watch does
the rest.
! These novel watches are got out in
| several varieties of cases, some of them
extremely ornamental, but the kind
most commonly seen in Chicago is made
with a plain black case and an open
face. The winding mechanism consists
of an ingenious contrivance by which a
small weight is raised and lowered from
the jar of walking. The motion of the
| weight works in a small ratchet ar
rangement which winds the spring to
its full tension. and then is automatically
! held until more winding is needed. A
course of shaking up and down for a
| few minutes will answer the same pur-
! pose as a stroll afoot while all the jolts
and jars of ordinary existence are like
wise made useful as a means of winding.
| The possibilities which this new watch
opens up for forgetful and lazy people
| are enormous The man who comes
home late at night by an irregular
/ course of progression down the street
Will no longer need to have his wife
J wind his watch in order to keep it going,
and the more tempestuous and full of
ups and downs his evening has been the
/ better the watch will be wound The
student, college Professor and the young
woman i'll love will all be blessed with
perfect running timepiece, no matter
how often they forget TO wind it before
going to bed at night. Above all, society
will be delivered from the necessity of
! hearing the remarks of the fool man
who says he doesn't carry a watch SIM
ply because he is too lazy to wind it

Origin of Newspaper Extras.

Doubtless few know that the New

what is popularity known as newspaper
extra. When this occurred times We're
troublesome in Europe, and the great
revolution of 1880 was approaching.
Naturally America was anxious for
early news, and all the newspapers of
New York equipped small boats that
cruised about the harbor, waylaying the
large packet vessels arriving from
abroad to get the tidings.
