LittIc Marks in Walches.

What are all these funny little marks
in your watch, Cousin Charley?' asked the
bright little girl who sat in the young
mans lap playing with his gold time
piece, according to the Kansas City Star.
"Eh? Let me seer" said the young
man. taking the watch from her and

Charley and winked. Let me see too =

Inside the back cover of the watch were
several little, shiny spiral marks that
looked as though the gold had been rub

hasn't it?"
What do you mean?" asked the puz.

What are you talking about?" the lit

Little girls should be seen, not heard, :"

"Once in the spring and again in the fall.
"Overcoat time, / see,' his uncle said,

Now, the fact of the matter was this:
Inside The back cover of the watch We're
eight little round marks made by acid.
They were made by pawnbrokers to test
the quality of the gold when the watch
was presented for loan. The pawn
broker dipped the frazzled end of a match
in acid and scrubbed at a place in the
gold. If the acid made no impression the
gold was all right and he made the loan
If the metal had dubbed and frothed
slightly where the acid touched it the
case was not gold and the loan was re-
fused.
This, you see, was the reason the funny
marks we're not explained to the little
girl. There are many watches carried
in fine tailor-made waistcoats in which
these funny little marks appear. 1t as

that of digging large cellars for hotel
kitchens, such as lie under every street

Ecity make it very daring.
From these subways the elevators carry
people down TO the electric railway below

American street cars are to be used.
The method of working the trains will
be by electricity conveyed from the gen
Grating station at Shepherds Bush,
where the dynamos will be driven by en-
gines which have a total capacity OF $500
horsepower. The current viii be sent
throughout the tunnels by a copper cable
conductor, which will be insulated clear
Of the rails. This cable passes through all
the signal boxes, SO that the current can
be cut off at a moments warning should
emergency arise. The motor in front of
each train will pick up the current by
means of brushes which slide over the ca
bic. Thus the necessary electricity will
be collected as the trains go along, and
there will be no need for accumuators.
The trains viii run at the rate of four
teen miles the hour, including stoppages,
and the average time taken between the
stations will be a minute and a half.

ing this struggle, remembering in her de-
spair that she was not yet baptized,
rushed from the center of the arena and
threw herself into the pool kept in the
circus, and filled with sea monsters that
were used to devour those condemned to
such death for the entertainment of the
people of Antioch Amidst the cries of
the terrified women in the galleries, who
believed her now to have fallen victim to
an even more horrible death, Thecla dived
into the WAFER, and without being harmed
by any of the fearful creatures, rose
above the surface, smiling in the assur-
ance that she now was christened accord
ing to the manner of the new faith The
female portion of the audience now be-

at the games" to let her free. In vain
Again the martyr was thrust upon the
sand of the arena and other beasts were
set upon her. But the women hurled
their smelling bottles, salve boxes, es-
sence and perfumes which they carried,
down among the beasts, and these were
so overcome by this fragrance that they
kept quiet and did not attack Thecla.
Tryphaina, the imperial lady, had tainted
away and this circumstance prompted
the Governor to put an end to the scene,
for he feared lest the Roman government
would take offense at this cruel spectacle
If anything during their performance
should befall a lady related to the Empe-
ror. So Thecla was set free, and Tryphai-
ma received her again at her residence.
Receiving from Paul permission to
preach, Thecla wandered to distant coun-
tries, converted many and died at a very
great age in a cave near the city of Sc

From the Electrical World.


The increasing use Of the Welsbach and
other lncandescent gas burners has been a
source of some anxiety to electric lighting
companies who have found that notwith-
standing the many points of superiority
possessed by the incandescent lamp, it is
being displaced to a considerable extent in
some quarters by the manted gas jet. The
operation of these burners depends upon
the substitution for the carbon particles
precipitated from the decomposing COM
pounds constituting ordinary Illuminating
gas of a filmy mantle" or bag of threads
of certain radiating oxides of rare metals
chromium, thorium, cerium, etc. These
substances possess the property of radiat-
ing a great proportion Of the energy emit
ted by them when they are heated as light
waves Carbon heated to the same temper
ature would give out a greater proportion
Of heat and less of light. 1t seems unfor-
tunate that carbon, the only available ma
terial that will stand the temperature ne
cessary for incandescent lamp filaments,
should give a very low light emitting pow
er-indeed the lowest Why should not
lesson be learned from the enterpris.ng
makers Of the new gas lamps? There seems
to be no reason why a flament should not
be coated with zirconia, or why this ma
terial may not be Incorporated with the
carbon-forming compound of which the FL
ament is made. 1t would certainly enor-
mously tfA-seasA the efficiency of the
lamp.
