The Smallest watcn.

The smallest watch In the world is Mt
present on exhibition in n show win
dow in Berlin. 1t is the latest triumph
in tile 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 diameter Of the little watch is
less than half an inch. The exact
measurement is 10 IL millimeters, or
.4137 inch. Its thickness is .11S2 inch.
The length Of the minute hand is
24-1O millimeters. or .O945G inch. That
Of the hour hand is l $40 m,llimeters,
or .0j129 inch. The entire works CON-
prise 95 individual pieces and it's exact
weight is 14.3493 grains.
After having been wound up with
it's diminutive key, the watch will run
for % hours.
The weight Of the four main wheels.
with their springs. is GAGS grains.
There are 10 cogs IN the little cylinder
wheel. which has a circumference II
2 millimeters. or .O7SS inch, and weighs
10 milligramme. or .O11j5 grain.
The most delicate tools and measur
ing instruments were made specially
for the construction OF this lillputiau
watch. The preliminary work in the
making Of the timepiece was very ex'
pensive. anu the selling price Of tho
watch is comparatively low, being
1920.

Horse Lore.
From ancient times the horse mas
been an object of special veneration by
almost all peoples. 1t was so among
the Greeks and Tacitus says that the
Romans in early times kept white
horses in tho sacred groves mt the en-
pense of the state. 1t was thought
that the neighing of the horse was n
sign of victory in battle. and the war
riOr whose stoed nciglied on the rev Of
a conflict felt assured of success On
the other hand. il the horse failed to
neigh 1t was looked IN as an evil omen.
IN some parts of Germany part of a
horses head hung above the doors of
stables and stalls was supposed to
bring good fortune. and even among
ourselves at the present time, there is
n very prevalent feeling that the horse
slice brings good luck. In fact. the

False Tssth of Antiquity.
The manufacture and use of false
teeth is undoubtedly a practice of
great antiquity. The ancient Egyptians
were 10 mean dentists. Jawbones of
mumlmies have been found with false
teeth in them and also with teeth filled
with gold. Ths ancient Greeks also
knew how to I'LL teeth with gold, also
how to make false teeth.
There is plentiful evidence of skilled
dentistry among the Romans, for many
of the old Latin authors have refer
ences to false teoth. In the "Roman
Laws Of the Twelve Tables there is
distinct references to artificial teeth.
The first part Of No. 10 forbids useless
expense at funerals in general, but an
exception is permitted by No. II, which
allows that the gold filings of false
teeth or the gold with which they
were bound should be buried or burned
with the deceased.
Within the last year an ancient grave
was discovered near Rome and opened.
In it was found the skeleton of u wom-
an with a complete set of false teeth.

fair trial If she did not find it worth the
money to bring back the bottle and I

BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT MEET.
They Shook Hands at the Alton, Ill, Rail
road Yards,

Bryan and Roosevelt shook hands
across the political chasm the other
night at Alton, Ill. Their private cars
came alongside in the yards. Each
stepped upon the platform and recog-
nized the other at once.
Hello, Billy" said Roosevelt, thrust
ing forth his hand.
Hello, Teddy" quoth Bryan, grab
bling Roosevelt's extended hand and
shaking it vigorously.
"How is your voice, Colonel Roose-
veIt?"
IT'S rough as the Populist platform.
How is yours, Colonel Bryan?" laughed
Roosevelt.
Mine is as broken as Republican
promises" retorted the Nebraskan,
laughing, too.
Then everybody laughed and cheered,
the Democrats with Bryan shouting
'hurrah!' for him, and R~oosevelt's fol-
lowers yelling for Mckinley. The meet
ing came wholly by chance, and was as
cheerful as it was picturesque.
The Bryan special train stood on a
side track to let the Roosevelt special
pass. The former was bound from East
st. Louis to Alton, and the latter from
Alton to East st. Louis.
AS the trains came alongside each
other a stop of several minutes was
made.
