The Smallest watch.

The smallest watch in the world is
at present on exhibition in a show
window in Berlin. It is the latest tri-
umph in the art of watchmaking-th
art that has made such wonderful
progress within the last decade. The
liliputian timepiece was made in Gem
eva. Following are given some Of the
tiny dimensions of its works: The di-
ameter OF the little watch is less than
half an inch. The exact measurement
is 1O1h millimeters, or .4137 inch. It's
thickness is .11S2 inch. The length of
the minute hand is 2 4-10 millimeters,
or .os45e inch. That of the hour hand
is 1 $40 millimeters, or .O5122 inch,

southern Girl Who Has Held Her Pol.
- ton for Years.
A young woman with a college dipla
ma and the degree Of A. B. is ait 10
look for a, higher" sphere of useful
ness than that of station agent. But
in the South there are not many posl.
lions open to woman. Those who are
reduced in circumstances take the first
opportunity which offers itself, and
generally make a success of it. Miss
Susie M. Lasley of Rowland, KY. Is one
of this type She belongs to a good
southern family. She is an officially
authorized station agent and she Is only
". What is more, she has held the 10.
sition for two years. At IS she gradu-
ated from South Kentucky college at
Hopkinsville, and soon secured DO
sition as assistant to her brother, who
held the agency which the young Wom-
an herself now fills. Then, when the
brother went off travelling in Central
America and his successor suddenly
died, Miss Lasley, who had meantime
been keeping her eyes open and learn
ing all that was to be known about a
railroad station, was called to fill the
position. AS to the ability of Wom-
an to fill such a position, ," says Miss
Lasley, ct quote the comment Of the Of
ficials who said at the close of the year,
Your service has been altogether sat
isfactOry' The requirements" she
goes on to say, "are a good general ed
ucations with quickness and accuracy
in mathematics. The characteristics
demanded are a good memory, quick
judgment and self-reliance, combined
with good temper. My experience has
proven that the place can be success
fully filled by woman. I believe that
clerical railroad work, though as yet /
an untried field for women, is most
interesting and congenial occupation
and girls who are looking about for
means of livelihood would do well to
take it into consideration"

The Flying Dragon.

NO living reptile possesses true DOW
ers of flight, and only one, the flying
dragon" has any power of sustaining
itself in the air. This reptile, which
is of small size, is found in the Indian
archipelago and East Indies, and lives
in trees, feeding on small insects The
upper ribs are Strengthened out and
support a wing-like fold of skin on
each side of the body, which, when the
animal is running about, is folded
down to the side, but is expanded when
1t wishes to jump from tree to tree
These so-called wings can not lift the
dragon from the ground, nor have they
any propelling power, they simply sus-
tain 1t in the air and enable 1t to make
leaps Of comparatively enormous
length. Though no reptiles of today
possess the power of fight, geology
teaches us that an extinct species call
ed Pterodactyles could fly. They had
a leathery expanded membrane attach
ed to hind limbs, body and fore limbs,
its chief support being the outermost
finger OF the forelimb, which was enor-
mously elongated. That they passed
their time in the air and did not, like
the flying dragon" simply jump from
tree to tree, is proved by their bones
being filed with air like those of birds
and by their having prominent ridge
to support the general muscles that
worked their limbs. Many of them
were small, but some must have been
gigantic; the expanse of wing of one
species was probably q feet from tip
to tip.
