4 Boston jeweler who has 6 talent for advertising as well 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 it's construction and upward of 2, 400 separate operations are comprised in its manufacture.
 Some of the facts connected with it's performance are simply incredible, when considered in total A blacksmith strikes several thousand blow on his anvil i'll day and is right glad when Sunday comes around, but the roller jewel of watch makes every day and day after day 432, GOO impacts against the fork, oe i57, 6S0, 900 blows in year without stop or rest, or 8, l58, 500, 0OO in the short space of 20 years.
 These figures are beyond the grasp o1 our feeble intellects, but tho maryeA does not stop here. It has been estimat- ed that the power that moves the watch is equivalent to only four times the force used in flea s jump; consequent ly it might be called four flea power. Ono horsepower would suffice to run gro, GOO, 900 watches.
 Now the balance wheel of q watch IS moved by this four flea power one and forty three one-hundrodths inches with each vibration-3, 56634 miles oontinu- ously in one year.

NO POLICEMEN NEEDED.
oal, Two Thefts Tn Iceland In a rhous.nd

a
 Years.
 In Iceland there are no prisons. and the inhabitants are so honest in their habits that such defenses to property as locks, bolts and bars are not required nor are there any police in the island Yet its history for 1 LOGO years records no more than two thefts. Of these twa cases one was that of a native who was detected after stealing several sheen. but as he had done so to supply his fam fly, who were suffering for want of food, when he had broken his arm. nro. visions were furnished to them and work was found for him ssen able to do 1t, and meanwhile llf s 9placed un- der medical care, but tNs dgma attach ed to his crime was considered sufficient punishment,
 The other theft was by a German, who stole r sheep
 But as he was in comfortable circum- stances and the robbery was malicious the sentence passed upon him was that he should sell all his property, restore the value of what he had stolen and
 
 then leave the country or be executed. and he left at once. But though crime is rare in Iceland and its inhabitants are distinguished for honesty and.puri- ty of morals there is, of course, provi. sion for the administration of justice, which consists, first of all, in the sher- ifs courts; next. by appeals to the court of three judges at Reikiayik, the capital and lastly in all criminal and most civil cases to the supreme court at Copenhagen, tho capital of Denmark, of which kingdom the island forms part. The island of Panaris, one of the Lipari group, is equally fortunate in having neither prisons nor lawyers and being absolutely destitute of both paupers and criminals. Boston Transcript.
