The Smallest Watch

The smallest watch in the world is at
present on exhibition in a show win
dow in Berlin. 1t is the latest triumph
in the art Of watchmaking-the art that
has made such wonderful progress
within the last decade
The liliputian timepiece was made In
Geneva. Following are given some Of
the tiny diminsions OF its works:
The diamete OF the little watch is
less than half an inch. The exac,
measurement is 10 1-2 millimeters. or
.ti37 inch. Its thickness Is .l1S2 inch.
The length of the minute hand is
4 10 millimeters. or .09i5G inch. That
of the hour hand is $40 millimeters.
or .O1l22 inch. The entire works COM
prise % individual pieces and its exact
weight is l4.3499 grains.
After having been wound up with
its diminutive key, the watch will run
for % hours.
The weight of the four main wheels,
with their springs, is GIGS grains.
There are l3 coss on the little cylinder
wheel, which has circumference of
millimeters. or .0ISS inch. and weighs
10 milliSramme. or .0ll55 grain.
The most delicate tools and measur-
ing instruments We're made specially
for the construction OF this liliputian
watch. The preliminary work in the
making of the timepiece was very ex-
pensive. and the selling price of the
watch is comparatively low, being
$3.50.

A COSTLY ENTERPRISE.
Dihiculties a Pacific Telegraph Cable
Will Nave to Overcome

DluhCuIuIGB u AaOI0
Will Have to Overcome.
In view Of the constant activity in
Atlantic cables which has resulted in a
new cable about every two years since
the first successful cable of 1866 it
stands to reason that the difficulties Of
fered by the Pacific ocean must be very
great for the nineteenth century to
reach its close without q definite
scheme for spanning the Pacific by tel
egraph having been adopted. The diff
culties may he summed up I'm few
words: First, the great cost of COM
plete system of cables; second, the e1-
treme depth of water known tc exist
in certain parts of the Pacific Ocean
and feared in others; third, the long
distances between landing points, and,
fourth, the lack of intermediate points
having an active trade.
The estimated cost Of the British
Pacific cable, for single cable con-
Meeting Vancouver with Australia and
New Zealand. is placed at about ST.
100000, including two repairing ships
and sum of S115,OOO for maintenance
of the cables for six months. The
president of one Of the cable compa-
nies Of New York estimates that the
total cost Of cable to Japan. Austria
liza and the Philippines by way Of Ha-
waii at $12OOO,OOO. and the cost of
maintenance, including two repairing
ships and Of operating expenses, at
100000 year. 1t is not considered
that single cable will be sufficient
to insure perfect communication, and
any scheme for 4 Pacific cable must
provide eventually for duplicate cables
throughout the entire route. so that the
total capital cost of a thoroughly reli-
able and efficient Pacific cable system
may be put down at approximately
$26,OOO,OO0, which would include two
repairing ships, reasonable quantity
Of spare cable and the equipment Of
operating stations at the various land
ing points-Scribner's Magazine.

Con. Grants Suggestion

An official who quite generally
knows what he is talking about was
dilating the other afternoon upon the
funny hopelessness for all reasonable
purposes Of many Of the little creeks
and rivers for the Improvement" of
which Congress is asked to appropriate
money under the river and harbOr bill.
"When Grant was President" said
this official, she used to alternately
chuckle and illuminate against the ex-
penditure of good Government coin for
the improvement of measley little
streams that he himself knew could
never be made fit for any human pur-
pose. There was n Virginian who,
failing to get Congress to stick in an
appropriation for the dredging Of lit
tie stream down in his section, finally
impOrtuned Grant in the matter.
Lets see,' said Grant musingly, 4
believe 1 crossed that stream in 1864.
wasn't it?
''The Virginian, who remembered
Grants crossing Of the stream pretty
well, replied affirmatively.

pause, his face lighting up suddenly.

Easily demonstrated.

A simple, quick and effective method
of resting tired eyes has been discOv-
cred by a French author. He had been
obliged to spend almost the entire night
writing an article that must be ready
for the printers in the morning. His
ewes gave out at last, and he was COM
PEELED to stop a while TO give them Il
rest. Turning from the half-finished
page of manuscript, tie eyes of the
writer fell upon some gay scraps of col
ored silk which formed n part of Il
patchwork quilt upon which his wife
had been working before she went TO
bed. The gay cOlOrs seemed to have
peculiar attraction for the wearied
eyes, which remained fixed on them
for several minutes. On resuming
work the writer found his eyes almost
as fresh as they We're on commencing
his work. Subsequent experiments
gave the same result, and now this
author (whose name is not given has
his inkstand so surrounded by brilliant
" colored striped silk material that his
eyes must rest on the later every time
that he dips his pen into the ink. In
this manner, it is claimed, the eyes are
kept fresh and feeling easy, even after
hours of work. The experiment costs
but little to try. and is easily made, at
any rate, whether the story is an inven-
tiOn or not.

A Diving Spider.

There is species of aquatic spider
which lives In rivers of some parts of
Europe and which exhibits q remark
able characteristic. 1t is an air
breather and yet it finds its prey on the
bottoms of the ponds and streams. 1t
has recourse, therefore, to a carefully
planned diving operation. Taking its
station near lily bed. the spider goes
to the surface and so arranges small
web that when it again goes beneath
the surface bubble of air remains at
tached to its body. With this it be-
takes itself to the under side Of lily
leaf where it spins n web, imperviOus
to water, around the air bubble. Then
it goes back 10 the air and brings an
other bubble beneath the surface. In
this way it manages to accumulate n
considerable quantity Of air and with
this, much in the manner Of diver in
a diving bell, it sinks to the bottom Of
the body of water. The scientific name
for this peculiar insect is "argyronetus
aquaticus"
