"A watch is really one OF the most
wonderful achievements of human in
genuity. Some OF the facts connected
with its performance are simply incred-
ible, when considered in total A black

600 in the short space OF twenty years.
These Supplying figures are far beyond
the grasp OF our feeble intellects but the
marvel does not stop here. 1t has been
estimated that the power that moves
the watch is equivalent to only 10 ar
times the power in a flea's jumps conse-
quently it might be called four flea
power. One horsepower would suffice to

'"These are the hard facts of scientific

reasonable inference to be drawn Ithere-
from? This, simply-that if you would
