The Cars Matchmaker.

John Curzon, a Polish mechanic, who
was presented with a gold medal for
his inventions, performed a most ex-
traordinary thing when he succeeded
in manufacturing a complete watch in
terials on which another matchmaker
would have looked with contempt. says
an exchange. 1t appears that the ear
of Russia, hearing of the marvellous
inventive genius of Curzon, determined
to put him to the test, and forwarded
him a box containing a few copper
nails. some wood clippings, a piece of
broken glass, an old cracked china cup,
some wire, and a few cribbage board
pegs. with a request that he should
transform them into a timepiece. Moth
ing daunted, and perceiving a golden
opportunity of winning favor at the
court, CurZon set about his task with
enthusiasm; and in the almost incred-
IDLY short space of eight hours had dis
patched a wonderfully constructed
watch to the car, who was so sur
prised and delighted at the work that
he sent for the maker, conferred upon
him several distinctions, and granted
him a pension. The case of the watch
was made of china, while the works
were simply composed of the odds and
ends accompanying the old cup. Not
only did it keep good time, but only
required winding once every three or
four days. This remarkable watch is
believed to be still in the possession of
the Russian royal family.
