FINEST OF WATCHES.
Twenty-Eisht HOurs-SmaIIest
Timepiece In the World.
From the Nax yor, uo-.,,


The smallest watch in the world is
at present on exhibition in show win
dow in Berlin. II is the latest triumph
in the art of watchmaking-the art
that has made such wonderful progress
with in the last decade
The Lilliputian timepiece was made
in Geneva. Following are given some
of the tiny dimensions of it's works
The diameter of the little watch IS
less than half an inch. The exact
measurement is 1917 millimeters, or
.4137 inch
Its thickness is millimeters, or 11S2
inch, being but little more than a tenth
of an inch.
The length of the minute hand is
4-10 millimeters. or .09456 inch. That
of the hour hand is 1 $40 miIiimeters,
or .05122 inch.
The entire works of the tiny watch
comprise ninety-five individual pieces,
and its exact weight is 143499 grains
or, according to the metric system 90
centigrammes- than a single gram,
After having been wound up with
the diminutiye key the watch will run
for twenty-eight hours. The handspring
when run down has a circumference
of 1896 inch. It's weight is 3S milli-
grammes, or 1902 grain.
The weight of the four main wheels,
with their springs, is ~ milligrammes.
or .646S grain. There are thirteen cogs
on the little cylinder wheel. which has
circumference OF millimetreS, or
.07SS inch, and weighs rs milligramme,
or .01155 grain.
The balance has a circumference of
3.57 millimetres. or .149658 inch. In one
hour it completes 1882 revolutions
travelling a distance of 9,S42 feet 6
inches.
The most delicate tools and measur-
ing instruments were made specially
for the construction of this Lilliputian
watch. The preliminary work in the
making of the timepiece was very ex-
pensive. and the selling price of the
watch is comparatively low, being
81 $50

Chief among these new members was Benia

then living known throughout Europe BY his
scientific discoveries; known IN England be-
sides as the fearless champion Of the colonies

man and diplomatist; a man of letters and a
popular writer, whose wit and wisdom were
read in many tongues; just returned from
London. and the wisest and most Influential
man in congress. It is worth while to pause
moment to look ar Franklin, standing forth
now as leader of revolution for he was one
OF the great men OF the century He was then
IN his SEVENTEEN year, but vigorous and keen
as ever in mind and body. He could have done
more than any other one man to prevent colo
NAL revolt. He was emInently conservative
and peace-loving. as well as loyal to the
mother country.
The ministry thar would have listened
to him and been guided By him

SURGICAL OPERATIONS
FOR THE CURE OF PILES AND RECTAL
DISEASES NO LONGER NECESSARY.
A Medical Discovery Which viii Change
the Treatment of An Such Diseases.

1t has long been thought not only by
some physicians but by people in gen.
eral. that the common, painful and ex-
ceedlngly annoying trouble, piles, was
practically incurable by any other
means than a surgical operation and
this belief has been the cause of years
of needless suffering. because of the
natural dread, of surgical operations.
There are many SalveS, Ointments
and similar remedies on the market
which afford some relief in cases Of
piles, but the Pyramid Pile Cure is the
only preparation so far introduced that
can be reliably depended upon to cure
to stay cured, every form of itching,
bleeding or protruding piles.
Mrs. NJ. c. Hinkley. of COL Mississippi

sicians that nothing but surgical OPP

had suffered for Is years; yet even in
such a case as hers the Pyramid Pile
Cure accomplished a complete cure.
She says: Il knew an operation would

Pyramid with very little hope and it is
not to be wondered at that l am so en-
thusiastic in it's praise"

PARIS, Feb. 1.-There was a riotous
demonstration on the Boulevard sebas-
topOl at O'Clock this evening The
rioters smashed the windows of a
Jewish store over which were the
names of Levy and Dreyfus During the
disturbance a shot from revolver was
fired.
AS this dispatch is sent. the project
of police. with large force of police
men, is coping with the mob.
The lola trial was continued today
and the session was more important
than any previously held. as Gen Pei
lieuX and Col. Picquart were on the
stand. Col. Picquart's evidence is of
the highest Importance, and thus far
is the great event of the trial He
gave it with passionless. pitiless COM
pleteness, covering the whole ground
from the moment he was authorized 70
investigate the rising suspicion against
COmte EsterhaZy until he found him
self prisoner. The impression il left
was that everything had been done by
Gen. PsllieuX and Maj Ravary to
shelter Comte ESterhaZy from the con-
sequences of glaring brea ches of dis
cipline and honor, while Col Picquart
was djsowned, packed off to Tunis ana
eventually arrested.
Col. PicquaTt pointed out that while
1.-THE antt-Dreyfus papers published fac
ssimileS Of the bOrdereau. they did not
publish a fac-simile of the letter writ
ten by Dreyfus at Maj. Patty du Clam S
dictation, as it would have been too
embarrassing, the witness implying
that comparison would have tended
to show that Dreyfus was not the
author Of the bOrdereau.
Col Picquart emphdtically denied
Gen. PellfeuX's statement that he had
divulged an espionage affair to out
siders- He candidly admitted sending
an agent to Maj. Esterhazy's apart
ments. but he pointed out that at the
time Maj. Esterhazy's fiat was adver-
tised to let and his agent only brought
him an unimportant letter which, how
ever. served for a comparison of hand
writing. The agent, however, reported
that number of letters had been
burned in the fireplace
Esterhaxy Shielded
Gel Picquart added that he commun:-
Gated his suspicious of the guilt of Maj
Esterhazy to his chiefs, who never said
they had additional evidence of the
guilt of Dreyfus beyond what he him
self knew.
The witness concluded with stating
that the intrigues of the officials of
which he had been the victim. had been
aimed to prevent him from demonstrate
-ing the guilt of Maj Esterhazy.
NJ. IaboTie then questioned Col Pic
tUart regarding the secret document.
and the witness said: Il know OF the
existence of the secret document, but
l only saw it when Gen. Peilieux show
ed it to me-"
Col Picquart was the best witness
for NJ. Zola thus far. His evidence was

No Rock Pile,

Some time last fall, Aid. James DIVER OF
the Tenth ward. Minneapolis, succeeded in
getting a resolution through the council to
the effect that the board OF corrections and
charities have the inmates Of the workhouse
pound rock during the winter, in sufficient
quantity to grade Washington avenue north
from Thirty-second TO FortT-second avenue
north. That was the last OF it. There has
been no rock pounding for the purpose, and
now Mr.. Dwyer intends to force matters to
an issue. He filed papers seeking to secure a
writ OF mandamus from the district court
yesterday, and the matter viii come up Satur-
day next. He will try to have the courts force
the board Of corrections and charities to have
the workhousa prisoners pound the rock as per
resolution. %

reelected a justice Of the supreme court.
and to whom the governor offered the place
on the appellate division in Brooklyn, recently
vacated by the retirement or Mr.. Justice

Judge Childs is very particular about
the temperature in his court room. HE
likes 1t pretty warm. and has fixed upon
a degrees Fahrenheit his standard. In
holding long term Of court he kept his eye
upon the thermometer. which showed such
frequent changes in the temperature that
the officer attending upon the judge was con-
staltly occupied in trying to make the room
warmer or cooler as the Thermometer seemed
to require. After a time the officer got tired
OF this, and having a certain mechanical
genius. he took the thermometer home one
night and so manipulated it that it would
