WHERE WATCHES ARE COOKED.
Peculiar Manner in Which Timepieces
are Tested at Kew Observatory

arc feSteo at heW OoScFNdtotJ
When a man OF means in England
buys an expensive watch one of the
first things he does is to send IL to
the observatory at Kew to be tested.
An ambitious watch in pursuit of a
first-class certificate commences its
career at Kew by standing upright
for five days in an ordinary safe. II
spends a similar period in three other
positions. and is then placed on its
back in a refrigerator After FIVE
days of that icy abode it is removed
to an oven kept at a temperature of
80 degrees Fahrenheit, and is at last
restored to a normal temperature.
All this time the watchful eye of the
observer has been upon It, and the
watch's behavior duly noted in books.
Every variation OF a second the
watch makes in the different posi-
tons and temperatures is carefully
entered. and certain marks for or
against are given it. What this means
will be the better appreciated when
it is explained that Kew possesses in
struments capable of indicating the
hundredth part Of second.
The highest marks awarded to a
watch are 100, and IL IL gains over
80 the words especially good" are
written on it's certificate when the
watch leaves the observatory. Last
year the lowest marks received by
watch were "A and the highest COL.
Quite a number of watches were in
the oven stage. The oven is an or
binary safe. heated with a tubular
boiler. and. over 1t a constant supply
OF hot water is kept. The refrigera-
tor is of the ordinary kind.
All kinds OF watches were there.
There was an explorers watch. so
watertight that IL would keep on tick

sea. There was the watch OF an
important official Of the National
Cyclists union. which splits seconds
