Licutenant-Coloncl Henry, who was

having been the author Of an import

His arrest was one Of the most sensa-
tional developments in this cxtraOrdi-
nary affair. He has been throughout
the champion Of the army, against
Colonel Picquart. with whom he fought
a duel. The new development appears
to alter the aspect of both Dreyfus
cases. and To practically nullify the
evidence of Generals Pellieux and Bots
de Fcvre and the declarations of the
minister of war, M. Cavaignac, in the
chamber Of deputies. In fact some
people believe that the real turning
point in the Dreyfus case has been
reached, and that a revision ofthe trial
of the prisoner of Devils island will be
had. Colonel Henry confessed to hav-
ing committed the forgery, lowing to
the absolute necessity for finding
proofs against D~reyfrs." 1t is under.
stood that the document in question is
the letter heretofore alleged to have
been written by the German military
attache in October, 1895.

 A Boston jeweler who has a talent for advertising as we'll as genius for mechanics has been reminding his pa- irons lately that watch is the small est, most delicate machine that was ever constructed of the same number of parts About 175 different pieces of ma terial enter into its construction and upward of 2,400 separate operations are comprised in its manufacture.
