He sat among 4 dozen young men, all

in our veins as we struggled to the

storm, some fifty watchmakers. chiefly
aged persons, came from the neighbor-

as much as seven miles diStant-to join
q small informal meeting that was
called for that evening.
The very organization Of the watch
trade, which permits men to know one
another thoroughly and to work in
their own houses, where they are free
to talk, explains why the level Of in
tellectual development in this popula-
ton is higher than that Of workers who

Fuel Oil Tests.

So far the tests with fuel oil in

of war, which are being made at Nor
folk and New York, do not appear to
have sustained the glowing reports OF

able, however, that coal will some day
be superseded by some more easily

Look For the "Planet of Romance
on May 7Sth.

Part of the Investigations Of May
2Sth will be directed, not to the sun
itself. but to the space lying between
the sun and Mercury. We are told in
a paper by Julia MacNair Wright in
the May New Lippincott' that 1T has
been the dream of many astronomers
that about half way between the sun
and Mercury lies little planet, lost in
the effulgence of the sun. Sir Will
liam Ball names this the Planet of
Romance" Other astronomers have
searched for it, christening it Vulcan
before it has been found. If ever such
a planet rolled exactly between the
earth and the sun. it would sometimes
be seen crawling like black dot across
the suns disk. In the gloom OF an
eclipse such an orb might show its
face if its position as regards the earth
were favorable. Most astronomers
have concluded that there is no such
planet. but that the space between
Mercury and the sun is empty.
