Marvel Watch of Geneva.

A manufacturing firm of Geneva,
Switzerland, has for many years been
making specially of complicated
timepieces and a watch placed on view
at the Paris exposition is regarded by
them as their highest achievement. In
it they have overcome problems which
were before considered insolvable, and
have succeeded in retaining the size of
the watch within a convenient limit of
a pocket timepiece-namely, twenty
lignes, corresponding to the American
eighteen size But two of these
watches have ever been constructed.
One of these was purchased direct from
the workshop of the firm to be added to
the magnificent watch collection of A.
Ponti, the celebrated amateur of Milan,
Italy.
This watch, which has a perpetual
calendar indicating the days of the
months, the days of the week and the
phases of the moon, also possesses two
separate small dials, upon which are
shown automatically for a given lati-
tude the time of the rising of the sun
and the time of its setting. The diff
ticulty 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) 1t carries another hand
which indicates the suns time (he true
time) This hand, moving from the
center as do the hands showing the
mean time, constantly travels with
them and places itself each day at mid
night in the position it should occupy
in order to indicate for that day the
difference between the mean and true
time. The variation is very great, being
as much as fifteen minutes in one di-
rection or the other. These dates are

An Awful Question.

What would be the commercial effect
of the certain knowledge that the world
was coming to an end In fifty yearsi
Well, the first effect would be rather
social and moral than commercial,
though, Of course, it would react very
strongly on the business world. Those
who in the ordinary course of affairs
would be dead before fifty years had
passed would be the least affected, and
younger people would probably become
as resigned to universal death as they
are now to the equally certain individ-
ual death. Therefore, at first there
would be but little change. People
would have to live and therefore they
would have to work, while capitalists
would have to keep their money invest
ed; but as the last year of the world
came nearer enterprise and industry
would naturally slacken. 1t would be
no use for parents to work for their
children, or even for children to be edu-
Gated for the life they would never live,
and so the industrial fabric would
gradually crumble away as men ceased
to provide for a day that would never
come. Commercial activity would
probably give place to religious frenzy
on the one hand and apathy or bound
less license on the other. Under these
circum stances the last few years Of the
worlds life would be appalling beyond
description.

HE MERELY OBEYED ORDERS.

But the Man at the Wheel Almost
Wrecked the Vecsel.
Captain Tom Evans, of the Neptune
Line steamer Runo, has indelibly inn
pressed upon his memory name that
he will ever consider has elements of
danger in it. Coming down the coast
on Oct. 81, bound from Rotterdam for
Baltimore, all hands, except the man
at the wheel. were engaged furnishing
up the bright work about the decks, to
have the Runo look attractive when she
reached Baltimore. On the forecastle
was man named West, who was
wanted to join the brass polishers aft.
The Runo at the time was steaming
her best on n course southwest by west,
Cape Charles lightship bearing on the
starboard bow. The second officer had
left the bridge, and Captain Evans
took the deck during his absence.
Learning that the man West was want
ed, Captain Evans shouted "WestW
and went down to the lower bridge.
1t appeared to him to be but few
minutes when he looked over the side,
and, to his horror, discovered that the
Runo had Cape Charles lightship and
Hog Island on her port bow. Such a
position was inconcelvable to him. and
he rushed to the bridge and ordered the
wheelman to change the course as
speedily as possible to almost east. Sat
isfied with her safe position, the south
west-by-west course was again re-
sumed.
Then Captain Evans demanded Of
the man in no uncertain language why
he dared to change the vessels course,
which would have run her on the low
shores of Virginia within short time.
The man was surprised that the master
should ask such question, which did
not improve Captain Toms humor af-
ter his recovery from Il scare. The man
said the Captain changed the course
himself. Then came the revelation.
When Capt. Evans shouted "Westr
to the man on the forecastle the man
at the wheel took it as an order from
the master to change the course, and he
did so by bringing her up three points,
which put the bow directly inshore and
steaming at a good speed for the dan
gerous shoals off the coast 1t would
not have been long before bottom
would have been found.
Capt. Evans says he will never have
another man in his crew who is known.
as either North, South, East or West
If he finds one that man must respond
to the name of Smith, Jones or Brown.
Mr. South is chief officer of the
steamer Ohio of the same fleet as the
Runo, but his position requires others
to place. handle before his name,
which precludes the danger of the man
at the wheel changing the course to
Mr.. South."-Raltimor Sun.

MATRIMONIAL BUREAU.
New Job For North Dakota Pan
American Commits
sion.

Lieut.. Gov. Bartlett and w. f..
Cushing, who are North Dakota's
commissioners to the Pan-American
exposition, have had new jobs assigned
them by the press of this state.
Within the past two weeks papers
all through North Dakota have con-
tained editorial demands that they
constitute themselves colonization
agents and send enough marriageble
women from the overstocked east to
make the ratio Of the sexes even, or at
least nearer even than it is now, says
the Buffalo Courier.
This demand is made on them since
the census reports have shown that
North Dakota has $4,000 more men
than women.
''The men of North Dakota have al
ways known that they were in the
majority" said w. F. Cushing, ''par-
ticularly when they began to look
around for wife, but they never knew
how badly off they were till the census
report came out and furnished them
with the figures.
"North Dakota is one of the best
places for a woman, an unmarried WO-
man especially to emigrate that I
know of. When began to read all
these papers we have received lately

the early history of Jamestown's his
tory, when young women were sent
over from England by the ship load to
furnish wives for the colonistS, who
bought them from the company for
$50 pounds of tobacco each.'',
The North Dakota commissioners
have not yet quite completed their
plans for securing the Sc, 600 marriage
able women whom the state needs and
whom they have been instructed
through the press to provide, but to
every young woman who visits their
pavilion in the agricultural building
and asks what the chances are for
women in North Dakota, they say;
