TESTING a wAroH.



Correctness and Regularity.
There has been matchmaking at
Coventry as long as there has been n
watch trade in England, which is for
the last 200 years or thereabouts, says
the jewelers. Review. There used to
be three centcrcs of the English trade,
these being Liverpool, Coventry and
London; now there are practically but
two, Coventry and Birmingham. The
test of good watch is that it should
obtain Kew certificate, and of the
watches that go to Kew rs per cent. are
from Coventry.
AT Kew no watch has yet succeeded
in getting the hundred marks which
signify perfection, but Coventry has
come nearest, with 92, and is always
we'll to the front. The Kew test is no
light one. The watch is tested in every
position, and its rate registered, not
only per day, but per hour; it is hung
by its pendant, hung upside down,
hung on each side, placed dial down and
back down and atany number of angles,
and to finish up with is baked in an oven
and frozen in an ice pail. No wonder
that watch with u Kew certificate is
a comfort to its owner.
When il is considered that it makes
$4,000 vibrations an hour and must not
vary Il second a week, while a quarter
turn of its two time screws, meaning
the millionth of an inch, will make
difference of 90 seconds day, the deli
cacy of its adjustment will be appre-
ciated, as will also the risk of intrust-
ing its repair to any but skillful hands.

THE CARRIER PIGEON.
An Explorers Wife Cheered by the Mes
sage That II Brought.

sage That 1t Brought
One day wonderful bird tapped at
the window of Mrs. Nansen's house at
Christiana. Instantly the window was
opened and the wife of the famous arctic
explorer in another moment covered
the little messenger with kisses and
caresses, says the Philadelphia Times.
The carrier pigeon had been away from
the cottage 80 long months, but it had
not forgotten the way home. 1t brought
n note from Nansen stating that all was
going on well with him and his expedi.
tion in the polar regions. Napsen had
fastened a message to a carrier pigeon
and turned the bird loose. The frail
courier darted out into the blizzardly
air. 1t flew like an arrow over 1000
miles of frozen waste and then sped for
ward over another / 900 miles of ocean
and plains and forests, and one morning
entered the window of the waiting mis-
tress and delivered the message which
she had been awaiting so anXiously. We
boast of human pluck, sagacity and en-
durance, but this loving little carrier
pigeon, in its homeward fight, after an
absence of 30 months, accomplished q
feat so wonderful that we can only give
ourselves up to the amazement and ad-
miration which must overwhelm every
one when the marvellous story is told.
Mrs. Nansen's pigeon is one of thewon-
ders of the world.

POLICE CHANGES IMMINENT
Commissioners Are Determined to Have a
Complete Reorganization.
Mr.. Wight Has In View a Successor to
Inspector HOllinberger-Other
Changes Hinted At.

While the report Of the inve stigation into
the lax methods discovered in the second
precinct, in the escape Of the ravsher carr,
failed to fix the blame upon any one per-
son, yet sufficient was discovered to give
the officials an opportunity to change ex-
isting methods.
Commissioner Wight, in approving the
report, did not rely upon the facts as pre-
sented therein, but made personal inves-
tigation of the entire case, interviewing
himself every one who had any connection
with it. His investigation agreed with the
one made by Major Moore, and while he
hes always been anxious to fix the blame
for what appeared at first glance miser-
able bungle, he is convinced it would be
irjustice to punish severely any one con-
nected with the affair. He has been there
fore content to repr- -mand certain of those
involved. But he is not through with the
second precinct. There Is little doubt it
will be completely reorganized, and with
its reorganization will follow other changes
iE other precincts. They all need good
shaking Up, it is said. and will get it be-
fore the autumn winds begin to whistle.
An immediate change is expected in the
detective department. Inspector Holm
berger will, ii is understood. he transferred
to the position Of night Inspector, and Night
Inspector Cross transferred to a precinct.
There is no doubt Inspector Hollinberger
will be relieved, although there is consider
able conjecture as to who his successor
will be. 1t is the object CT Commissioner
Wight to put at the head of the detective
department the very best man available,
without regard to whether he is or is not
a member of the force There is, in fact
prominent detective under consideration
even now for the position. Should he be
decided upon, he will be given absolute
authority to select his assistants. Many of
the present force will either be retired.
cropped. or sent back to active duty on the
streets.
And these are not the only changes. 9th
ers affecting higher officials in police cir
cies are limited. and Washington may ex-
pect within short time to find practically
new management of the police watching
its interests.
