each an indispensable part of the whole
wonderful machine. The busy little
balance wheel alone is the result OF
hundreds Of years of study and expert
ment. The watch have before me is
composed of SO pieces, and It's manufac-
ture embraces more than 1000 dis
tinct and separate operations. Some or
the smallest screws are so minute that
the unaided eye cannot distinguish
them from the steel filings or specks
OF dirt. Under a powerful magnifying
glass perfect screw is revealed. The
slit In the head Is two one-thousandths
of an inch wide. II takes 100000 OF
these screws to weigh pound, and a
pound Is worth $l,5S5. The hairspring
is a strip of the finest steel about 91s
inches long, hundredth part of an
inch wide and twenty-seven ten-thou-
sandths OF an inch thick. 1t Is coiled
up in spiral form and finely tempered.
The process of tempering was long
held secret by a few fortunate ones
possessing 1t, and even now is not gen.
orally known. Their manufacture re-
quires great skill and care. The strip
is gagged to twenty one-thousandths
of an inch, but no measuring instru-
ment has yet been devised capable OF
Tine enough gauging to determine be-
forehand by the size OF the strip what
the strength of the finished spring will
be. A twenty-thousandth part of an
inch difference In the thickness OF the
strip makes Il difference In the running
of watch of about six minutes per
hour. The value of these springs when
finished and placed In watches Is enor-
nous In proportion to the material
from which they are made. A compar-
isoa VII give good idea. A ton OF
gold Is worth $627,9l5 A ton of steel
made up into hairsprings when in
watches is worth $7.SS2, 29O-more than
twelve and one-half times the value
of pure gold. Hairspring wire weighs
one-twentieth of a grain to the inch.
One mile OF wire weighs less than half
pound. The balance gives five vi
brations every second, 800 every min
ute, $4,000 every hour, $4,000 every
day and l576s0,000 every year. At each
vibration II rotates about one and a
| quarter times, which makes 1877 100000
revolutions every year In order that
we may better understand the stupen-
dous amount OF labor performed by
these tiny works let us make few
comparisons. Take, for illustration, a
locomotive with six-foot driving
wheels. Let Its wheels be run till they
shall have given the same number Of
| revolutions that watch gives In one
year and they will have covered dis
lance equal to twenty-eight complete
| circuits OF the earth. All this watch
does without other attention than
winding once every twenty-four hours.

Gen. Francis V. Greene's story of
the queer bet made by officers at Get
tysburg recalls other strange wagers.

troit, several years ago, bet he could
hold his head submerged in a bathtub
for 1875 seconds without taking air. He
won.
In Philadelphia some years ago a
gentleman made a wager of 500 that
he could jump into water eight feet
deep and undress himself complete.
Any one who has ever made the at

ing thoroughly drenched to the skin,
even when standing on terra firma,
with plenty of room to hop around
on one leg" will at once realize the
difficulty of accomplishing the feat
while in the water. However, it was
done in the instance noted. A chap
named Curtis in Berkshire county,
Massachusetts, for wager of horse,
ran five miles in forty-one minutes,
and wound up the race with a jump of
eleven feet six inches. An English
man named Head won $4,000 by walk
ing 600 miles in ten days, but the ex-
ertion so used him up that he never
walked much afterward, either on
wagers or otherwise.-New York Tele-

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
Nikola Tesla Has Made a Great Medica
Discovery.


Discovery.
Inventive genius may yet solve some
of the great medical problems. Nikola
Tesla, the electrician, has a new treat
ment for tuberculosis, which he calls
electrical oscillation" 1t has long
been an idea of Mr.. Teslas that os-
citation would do many wonderful
things, but only lately has he thought
of using it for the destroying of germs.
He has invented a machine by means
of which two and three thousands volts
of electricity can be handled with
safety, and he drives the current
through the lungs with excellent eff
feet. BY this treatment it is asserted
that all tubercular matter is elimi-
mated from the system, and that the
results in several cases have been re-
markable. One case in a New YORK
hospital is that of a consumptive who
was placed under the Tesla treatment
for the first time on July 8, when he
had a respiration of sc. 1t is said
that he has recovered the full use of
his lungs. He had suffered from tu-
berculosis for five years. According
to physicians, he had cavity in his
left lung as large silver dollar. This
cavity has disappeared. Other pa
tients give testimony quite as extra
ordinary If the "oscillator" treat
ment will do all that Mr. Tesla thinks
it will. it is on it's face one of the
greatest medical discoveries of the age
