lncendsary Micro,,ea.

Under the above title writer, La Nature, of Paris, contributes an inter- esting article on spontaneous combus- tion, showing that when stored hay. bales of cotton, tobacco. etc, take fire, the action is in the first place due to bacteria. In wet seasons such fires are most common and are due to storing the hay, etc, in a damp state: fermen- tation fellows, with great rise of tem- perature-a process due entirely to the action of microbes; the hay is changed to a dry, porous and carbonaceous condition, and it presently takes fire. It will consume slowly, until accident brings the external air to it's help, when the incandeseent mass bursts into flame, and the microbes which caused the initial mischief are de- stroyed in a funeral pyre of their own making.

To Pension It's Old Em plpyss.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany, through it's board of directors. is formulating a plan for pensionlng its old men and retiring them to that rest which they have earned by long and faithful service. The pension plan is now Tn the hands of committee, and will be perfected and submitted to the board of directors at the October meeting for adoption. It will involve the expenditure of sSo0,O00 or more each year by the company, and it's immediate effect will be to retire hundred or more employees who have passed the allotted three score and ten years of life, or who, by reason of sickness or accident. have become dis- abled or incapacitated for active duty.

MYSTERY OF THE HANDSPRING.
Some Rreakages Not Yet Understood
 Despite Much Investigation.

bespue Mucn 1HveStlgatlOn.
 Despite the investi gations regarding the structure of mainsprings and the efforts to improve them, despite the experimentation and theorizing on the subject, some Of the causes of the breaking Of mai1springs remain an un solved mystery. Many. indeed, are the known causes responsible for breaking, such IS faulty construction or tenn pering, careless handling, leading to the formation Of rust and poor fitting, but after all these which are recognized have been eliminated there still re mains the fact well known to watch makers that the best springs will, in spite of the most careful handling and proper adjustment, unexpectedly break, sometimes in a number of places. It Will thus happen that of two springs made at the same time by the same process, of the same material tenn pered in the same way and handled With the same care. one may last for years, while the other may break after two weeks use, or even while being nlaeea in the barrel. When it is con ..s>.Sa t..at the spring is but from .9eS to .009 of an inch in thickness; i; that the material must be subjected to a process which shall give it a high state Of elasticity, and at the same time enable it to do it's prescribed work fol years, slight molecular disarrange- ment in it's structure may be expected to occur from causes too insignificant for observation. Many jewellers state that 1t is their experience that they nave many more mainsprings to repair after a warm, humid day thau at any other time. Others believe the break ing to be due to electric disturbances, stating that after an electrical storm they find that many of their custom. CTS bring their watches to them for repair. The sudden cooling and con sequent contraction of the tightly wound handspring, caused by the re- moval of the watch from the body on a cool night following a warm day, is believed by some to account, in meas ure, for the accidents mentioned. So far, however. no entirely satisfactory explanation has been suggested. The only conclusion to be drawn from the acknowledged facts of the case is that it is not safe for the matchmaker tc infer, merely from the breaking of a handspring, that it is of all inferior grade. nor for his customer to believe the watehmaker deficient in skill be- cause the handspring of his time piece has snapped shortly after being replaced.

 Cent Bill Any Others.
 A grizZled veteran of two big wars Nand several smaller Indian combats, was relating stories of his experience while in the service of Uncle Sam =One of them that will show your Un- scle Samuel one of the real business men of the world is told by the vet #eran, as follows: "I went through the civil war, and rose from the vol- Hunteer ranks to a first-lieutenancy and was assigned to the regular army. In June, 1873, while attached to the Hquartermaster's department of my troop I disposed of some oil to private parties. In selling the oil I sold one gallon more than I had, and turned the money over to headquarters be-
 fore I discovered my mistake. I then wrote the department at Washington asking it to return the price of the #oil, so that I might have my accounts AS only sixteen cents
 was involved I thought the matter would end by the return mail bringing back the amount of the claim. In that was much mistaken, as I am still forced to answer documents that read Tn reply to yours of June, 1S73,' and so on and so forth, till I have in my possession stack of documents weighing not less than fifty pounds, and still they come"
