INTRICATE WATCH.
IL Shows kveryth ng That Is Possible In
Horology.

~ SHOWS fvefyth ng fhat IL Possible In
Horoiogy.
A manufacturing firm OF Geneva
Switzerland. has for many years been
making a specially of complicated
timepieces, and watch placed on
view at the Paris exposition is re-
garded by them as their highest
achievement IN 1t they have over
come problems which were before con-
sidered insolvable. and have succeeded
in retaining the size of the watch
within a convenient limit OF a pocket
timepiece- namely, twenty hinges, cor
responding to the American eighteen
size. But two OF these watches have
ever been constructed. One OF these
was purchased direct from the work
shop of the firm, to be added to the
magnificent watch collection OF A.
Ponti, the celebrated amateur Of Mi
Ian, Italy. This watch, which has
perpetual calendar indicating the days
OF the month, the days OF the week,
and the phases of the moon, also pos
sesses two separate small dials, upon
WulCH are SIONn automatically lot
given latitude the time of the rising
of the sun and the time OF its setting.
The difficulty overcome here was great,
but what comprises the merit of the
piece is that, in connection with the
minute hand, which shows the mean
time (the time We use), it carries an
other hand which indicates the sun 5
time Cthe true time). This hand, NOV
ing from the center, as do the hands
showing the mean time, constantly
travels with them, and places itself
each day at midnight in the position
II should occupy in order to indicate
for that day the difference between
the mean and true time The varia-
ton is very great, being as much as
fifteen minutes in one direction

Are Becoming More Optimistic.

Optimism is taking the place of con.
servatism among the military men at
Manila, the cause being the num-
erous surrenders, captures and destruc-
ton OF insurgent camps, coupled with
the increased understanding of the
Americans intentions among the ma
tives, the propagation of the principles
of the federal party and the knowl-
edge that they are approved by the L..
:. Philippine commission and the mill
tary authorities, and that the carrying
out of the terms of Gen. McArthur's
proclamation, chasing all who do
things inimical TO the interests of the
army as rebels and traitors, are having
pointed effect, with the offering of To-
cal autonomy and protection, and show
ing the certainty of the punishment of
those who remain rebellious.

GRAND RAPIDS GOT
 THE FIRST PRIZE But Salt Lake City Gets the Next Convention of
 the EIks

Milwaukee, Wis, July 24---While Salt Lake City was honored by being selected as the next meeting place of the Grand Lodge of Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Grand Rap ids, Mich, captured the first prize in lne big Elks' parade this afternoon. The Toledo Cherry Pickers" were awarded second, and the Chicago con- tingent, third money. The Greenyiile, Miss, lodge was given a prize for the most unique display in the pageant, Omaha being a close second.
 The parade was by all odds the most beautiful and successful of its kind ever seen in Milwaukee. Fully 5000 Elks took part. The Grand Rapids Elks wore white and navy blue sailor suits, large black neckties, white caps and white shoes. An automobile was rigged out to represent the bridge of a battleship. The Toledo, O., lodge was uniformed in cherry red with black trimmings.
 The famous purple-coated Chicago contingent numbered 150.
 .ne Cotton Pickers" from Green vile, Miss, thirty-five strong, made ur as darkies, were feature in their unique outfit. They had a wagon on which was percned several bales ot cotton Among the lodges which made fine impressions was the delegation from Natchez, Miss.

 I would rather take my chances under the old law than to try this scheme. The standard of electors ought to be the man who is willing to bear the burdens of the State today.

 Rods-Traffic Stopped.

New York, July 24.-Late this after noon 1t was suddenly discovered that several rods of the northern cable of the Brooklyn suspension bridge were broken. Excited persons circulated a rumor that the bridge was in danger ous condition and an order to suspend traffic upon the structure was Issued. Police reserves were called out and presently crowd of Brooklynitas and other residents of Long Island which daily throng the Manhattan end of the bridge at 6 o'clock were thrown into great excitement. The car service was stopped as was the driving of all ve- hicles. Persons, however, were allowed to walk the Brooklyn side along the promenade. The congestion on the Manhattan side was relieved by this permission, but lne Brooklyn ferries carried thousands more than they usually do.
 By $ oclock the bridge cars were running. Chief Engineer Probasco said that by tomorrow all traffic would be resumed and that the broken rods would be replaced in two or three days. The breakage, he said, was due to expansion, presumably from the heat.
