A WONDERFUL MACHINE.


what the Tiny wheels, Springs and
Screws In Your Watch Mean.
II you own a watch. open it and Sok
ut the little wheels. springs and screws,
each an indispensable part of the whole
wonderful machine. The busy little bal
ance wheel alone is the result of hun
dreds of years of study and experiment.
The watch ! have before me Is composed
of 9S pieces, and its manufacture en-
braces more than 1000 distinct and sep
arate operations. Some OF the smallest
screws are so minute that the unaided
eye can not distinguish them from the
steel filings or speeks OF dirt. Under
powerful magnifying glass perfect
screw is revealed. The slit in the head is
two one-thousandths of an inch wide. 1t
takes 30S,O00 of these screws to weigh a
pound. and n pound Ia worth 81 ,5S5.
The hairspring Is q strip of the finest
steel about 9iA inches long. hundredth
part of an inch wide and twenty-seven
n-thousandths of an inch thick. 1t is
coled up in spiral form and finely tenn
pered. The process OF tempering was
hong held a secret by the few possessing
II and even now is not generally known.
Their manufacture requires great skill
and care. The strip Is gauged to twenty
one-thousandths of an inch, but no meas
uring instrument has yet been devised
capable of fine enough gauging to deter
mine beforehand by the size Of the strip
what the strength OF the finished steel
will be. A twenty-thOusaHdth part of an
inch in the thickness of the strip makes
a difference in the running of watch of
about six minutes per hour. The value
of these springs when finished and placed
in watches is enormous in proportion to
the material from which they are made
A comparison will give good idea.
A ton bf gold is worth S621 ,9l5, while
ton Of steel made up into hairsprings
when in watches is worth 81. So, 300
more than 1914 times the value of pure
gold. Iairspring wire weighs one-twen-
tieth OF a grain TO the inch. One mile of
wire weighs less than half pound. The
balance gives five vibrations 10 every
second. 800 every minute. $4,000 every
hour. $4,000 every day and l57 $50, 900
every year. At each vibration II rotates
aboat IL times, which makes 1871. .100,-
COO revolutions every year. In order that
we may better understand the stupendous
amount of labor performed by these tiny
works let MS make a few comparisons
Take. for llustyation. locomotive with
six driving wheels. Let its wheels be
run till they shall have given the same
number of revolutions that a watch gives
in one year, and they will have covered a
distance equal to 2S complete circuits OF
the earth. All this a watch does without
other attention than winding once every
"a hours.-PhiladelDhia Press.

ply non est
The pattern hats are very apt to look
a wee bit theatrical, but extremely at
tractive withal. A very beautiful even
ing hat is made of blue panne velvet
Just a large frame draped entirely with
the panne and a large full feather that
measures a yard and three-quarters laid
softly about the brim. There isn't an
other thing on it, not buckle. nor s"An
a pin; in fact. the feather is its chief
beauty, and anything would detract from
1t. Paris says it is a typical Florodora
hat, and Paris certainly ought to know.
Another evening creation is made of
white tulle. To relieve the monotony Of
the soft stuff, white chenille alternates
in the tiny rows and lends a little stiff
ness. 1t is lined with black panne velvet
One side rolls completely over the crown
and fastens in the center of it with
large rhinestone capsion. A yard and a
quarter white plume leaves it's hiding
place from under the roll and circlng the
brim takes refuge on the opposite side.
1t is most curious hat to pick up and
glance at casually. Which is the front
and which Is the back is a question In
ones mind. Naturally the black roll is
selected the back, just because it turns
up so suddenly, but In reality that is the
side. The feather Is supposed to fall over
and soften the face, and it fullfills it's part
of the contract.
But the trouble with both of these hats
is that they require handsome gowns. An
ordinarily pretty frock would look very
common, and the hat itself would lose
some of its exquisite daintiness.

sion there are about one hundred rhine
stones, and as they are set individually
in white metal, what luster they have is
shown to the best advantage
The rhinestones make a pretty contrast
against the hair. Somebody said that the
pompadour was going out, but with the
hats off the face they are more stylish
than ever The head of the Emporium
hair-dressing parlors says that the hair
is not popular low, but these hats demand
that-the space at the back of the neck be
filled, for the hats off the face and
the broad brim at the back gives an ex-
ceedingly awkward appearance.
Black and white still continue to be
fashionable, and when was it not con-
sidered swell looking? One of Madame
Pouyanne's hats is of the two colors. The
entire hat is made of ribbon about an inch
wide. Each piece is put on slightly gath
cred, and increases until the wide brim
is reached. The lininr is the same, so the
gathered effect is carried out in the en-
tire hat.
The only trimming on it is some extra
long sweeping black and white aigrettes.
1t takes about ten of them to make any
kind of a showing where they are used as
the only trimming They sweep from one
SIDE across to the other, where a few of
them are lightly tackled so as to hold
them in place. The only other touch of
color is added by capsion which hides
the rough ends Of the aigrettes 1t Is an
exceedingly simple hat, but very, very
swagger looking.
Velvet is to be worn great deal>in
hats, but a soft French felt is more fash
ionable and consequently more expensive.
The very soft, limp felt is decidedly
scarce here as 1t is all imported directly
from Paris. The stiff ones fail to look

gray tulle. There is fold upon fold alter
mating, one black velvet and the next
gray tule. The frame is perfectly round
and the rows follow one another until
they suddenly commence on baby tabs
that rest over the back of the hair. The
facing of the lat is black velvet and it
is covered with real Arabian lace. The eff
feet is very lovely and one greatly appre-
ciated by everybody, but particularly by
lovers of beautiful and rare lace.
Lace, by the way, seems to be used very
little excepting when it is combined with
fur. The other soft trimmings are either
chiffon or tulle, and both are very per-
ishable. Taffeta is not as soft or as
graceful, and fails utterly on a swagger
hat Panne, felt and feathers are just
about the proper thing, but the way they
are put together makes all the difference
in the world.
Silver tinsel appliqued on black velvet
makes a snowy hat. A round brm Hber-
ally covered with the glittering stuff looks

and any afternoon frock. in fact One of
the new soft, fluffy pompons is added to
give height.
These pompons are going to be extremely
fashionable, and probably very much run
into the ground in consequence. The os-
trich ones are by far the prettiest and
the BEST but there are others made in
variety of material. Black and white
mixed or either one color or the other
are in the lead. On plain felt walking
hats taffeta is used in what we used to
call rosette, but the edges are frayed
trif1e and the silk falls in a free fashion.
Brown is going to be used somewhat in
millinery. One of the Paris models is a
large brown shape turned up on one side.
The entire crown Of the hat is covered
with large bird. The lining is made of
the new ostrich trimming. 1t resembles
tiny ostrich feathers-just the smallest
imaginable ones. In reality the trim
ming comes by the yard and is little
over an inch wide. The other colors pink
and a pale castor, are used as drape
and where the hat rests on the head is a
large crushed bow of the old-fashioned
Persian ribbon.
Each and every hat that bears the real
Partisan stamp is well worth giving
minute attention. It Is a mystery how
so many many hats can be turned out
and not one of them look the least bit
like any other. 1t certainly is an art, and
Paris has quite perfected it.

And by the way, perhaps you do not
know what a capsion is. 1t is a French
ornament. and a very fetching one at
that. To be exact, it looks like a ball Of
diamonds. One half the ball is tucked
under the trimming, but the other half
makes up for lost time by glimmering and
sparkling for all 1t is worth. In each cap

substitutes. One is a heavy broadcloth
stitched, and the other is called scratch
felt" 1t is more woolly and is made over
frame. Chenille is run through it at
regular intervals, and the soft wires give
1t little support
One reason of it's sudden popularity IS
that 1t does not spot like velvet, and it
can be turned and twisted and yet look
as well as ever.
Fur and lace seem to be popular, but the
two are not combined alone. A brown fur
Is made up with ecru lace and baby pink
roses. The flowers rest against the fur
and the lace falls gracefully over the
combined two.
