window, quietly fired several shots in
rapid succession. He then began to yell
murder. help, police, all of which tended
to drive policemen out of the neighbor-

An alarm was sent to Police Headquar-

Testing a Watch.

There has been matchmaking at Coven-
try as long as there has been a watch
trade in England, which is for the last
two hundred years or Whereabouts. There
used to be three centres Of the English
trade, these being Liverpool, Coventry
and London: now there are practically
but two, Coventry and Birmingham. The
test of a good watch is that it should
obtain a Kew certificate, and of the
watches that go to Kew seventy-five per
cent. are from Coventry.
At Kew no watch has yet succeeded in
getting the 100 marks which signify per-
lection, Ibut Coventry has come nearest
with 90. and is always well to the front.
The Kew test is no light one. The watch
