Very few of the millions of people
who carry watches realize to what
powerful extente fabrication is de-
veloped, and what. an, extraordinary
number of tprps the" balance wheel
makes with one oiling, says the Phila-
delphia Record. 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 COM
parison to show the perfection of lubri-
cation in a watch.
A watch will run on one oiliEg from
q year to year and half. Every min
ute the balance, wheel turns on its
axis $50 times, and $1,000 times in an
hour. Accepting the year as the time
the ordinary watch will run with one
oiling, he finds that if the driver of a
locomotive was as well oiled as bal
ance wheel of watch, it ought to run
go miles an hour day and night for
GAS days, or well on to two years. with
one oiling. In that time it would
traverse a distance equal to nearlyfo
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 a
far greater degree than the locomotive
builder has yet been able to reach.

GRANTS LOG CABIN DEcAYINa.
Structure Removed from ST. Louis to
philadelphia Needs Cnre.

The old log cabin once owned and oc-
cupied. by Gen. Grant, which he had
brought to Philadelphia from st. Louis
90 years ago and which is now in Fair
mount park, is fast. decaying. Many of
the logs have been rotted by the ele-
ments and others have been carried
away by relic hunters. g.! .l- 80 .
Gen. Grant presented the cabin, with
the original furniture in it, to his
friend, the late George II. Stuart. 1t is
still the property of the Stuart estate,
and neither the city nor the park COM
missioners can do anything with it.
George Fl. Stuart, Jr., applied four
years ago for permission to remove it
from the park, and permission was
granted, provided the grounds would
be restored to their original condition.
Nothing has been done in the matter
since. It is possible that the grand
army men will take some action toward
preserving the cabin.

B. & O. ImproYements.

The large purchases of new equip
ment that the b. & o. has made has
very greatly increased the percentage
of cars and locomotives that are
equipped with air brakes and auto.
matte couplers. The total number OF
engines having car driver brakes are
10 per cent in excess of those sc
equipped in the previous year. The
greatest increase, however, was made
on freight cars, there being seven
times as many in service now with ali
brakes as compared with fifteen
months ago. The use of the automatic
coupler has been trebled, there being a
little over three times as many cars
with this safety device as were used in
1896. For safety's sake the Receivers
have placed out of service nearly all Of
the old iron hopper cars which kave
been used on the Il & .. for a grea'
many years. These cars we're very
weakly constructed and if Put in {
train between the heavy moderr
freight and coal cars of today are yer,
likely to be crushed in case of a suddel
stop or too strong application of al
brakes. Up to September Soth, 1900 @
these hoppers had been retired an
thrown on the scrap pile.
