FANTASTIC TIMEPIECEs.
Watches Were Made
in Many Curious shapes.

Since timepieces have come within the
reach of everybody and watches are
made large enough for bicycle bars and
small enough for a lady's ring, it is
curiously interesting to recall some of
the old-fashioned ones that served our
ancestors so well generations ago.
Even today some of us have caught a
glimpse of the portly old gentleman
whom Dickens loved to picture, with
his ornate seals, wide guard and enor-
nous watch that filled to bursting the
capacious fob that was it's resting
place, but like many other cumbersome
fashions these respectable timepieces
are interesting now only as curios.
Long before our time or that of our
grandfathers, watches were made in
such fantastic fashion that it is mar
vel that their owners managed to carry
them about.
No one seems to know the exact date
of the first timepiece, but the middle
of the fifteenth century seems to have
been the period when portable clocks"
began to appear. In the different coll
lections of antiquaries there are a few
specimens of the "Nuremburg Eggs"
or watches made in oval shapes and
coming from the town after which they
were named.
In the possession of Lady Fitzgerald,
of England, there was one watch which
was shaped like an eagle, which had a
small boy on it's back. This odd orna-
ment was made to hint at the story of
Jupiter and Ganymede. The breast of
the bird opened to show the dial be-
meath it, and the works were most elab-
orately ornamented. When the fair
owner of this treasure did not wish to
wear it on her girdle she could stand
1t on her table.

lous was close upon the sublime, to say
the least. Rings were formed like
skeletons, tiny cofiins of gold were
worn as ornaments and they contained
enameled figures of death, but the most
striking products Of the hour were the
watches, which dangled from fair
ladies' belts and which represented
grinning skulls, the tops of which lifted
to disclose the dial plate. OF course
the eyes were brilliant jewels and small
fortunes were spent in the elaborate
ornamentation of these funeral trink-
cts. But the watches the trinkets and
the people who wore them have all
passed away, and since 1920, or there
abouts, the fiat oval or round time
piece has been the general favorite.
Time does not go so Enthusiastically
with us as it did with those untutored
geniuses of earlier times, and perhaps
our plain substantial watches tell as
much of our character as did those
bizarre inventions of earlier days about
the men and women who wore them.

Capacity of Niagara.

From the TimeS-Herald.
If the falls were situated in the center
of a city of manufacturing plants so miles
square, and there was a factory upon
each acre of land within its limits, and
each consumed 1000 horse power, there
would only be used 10000 horse power,
or a little more than one-tenth of the
probable energy of this great water
power. If the size of our city were in
creased from 50 to 100 miles square-all
the other conditions remaining the same
Its factories would consume 6,i0O0OO
horse power, which is no doubt a mod
crate estimate of the energy eAerted by
the Falls of Niagara. When we take
into consideration that one acre OF
ground is a small allotment for the aver
age manufacturing plant and that 1000
horse power is perhaps quite liberal
allowance for each establishment, we can
get some conception of the possibilities OF
Niagara Falls as great power plant.
OF course all the energy eXerted by the
fall of water cannot he utilized as work,
as there is always a loss in transforma-
tion. But If the falls represent an energy
| of 10000 to 100OOOOO horse power we
have a liberal margin left for losses uf
all kinds,

TAKEN SUDDENLY ILL

Anna Atkinson, the twelve-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. d. G. Atkin-
son, of Meridian street, was taken sud-
denly i'll while at school about 9.45
o'clock yesterday morning. She was
seized by an epileptic convulsion. while
seated at her desk and for a short time
her condition was serious. The con-
vulsion spent itself before a physician
could be summoned and she was later
taken to her home.
The young girl is a pupil in Miss
Esther Moses room at public school
No. II, and the other scholars were
much excited over the illness of their
fellow pupil. 1t was only last Wednes-
day afternoon that the whole school
was unsettled by the accident to Willie
Rice, by the exploding of a cartridge
which he was carelessly handling.
