Marvel Watch of Geneva.

A manufacturing firm of Geneva,

making speciality 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 insolyable. and
nave 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.

But the Man at the Wheel Almost

Captain rom Evans, Of the Neptune

Baltimore. all hands. except the man

up the bright work about the decks, to
have the Runo look attractive when she
reached Baltimore. On the forecastle
was a man named West. who was
wanted to join the brass polishers aft.
The Runo at the time was steaming
her best on a 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

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
position was inconceivable to him, and
he rushed TO the bridge and ordered the
wheeiman TO change the course as
speedily as possible to almost east. Sat
lsiied 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 a short time
The man was surprised that the master
should ask such a question, which dit

CHANCE FOR INVESTORS.
FIatterns Report Upon the Property of the
Chiapas Plantation and Investment Co.

Chiapas Plantation and Investment Co.
The report of the committee of bust
ness men sent to Mexico to investigate
the property of the Chiapas Rubber
Plantation and Investment Company
has just been made public. The docu-
ment is an interesting one and gives
valuable data concerning the enterprise
conducted by the company named.
The property of the company consists
Of a plantation of "a, 600 acres of the
choicest rubber land of Mexico, upon
which over 100000 vigorous young
rubber trees now thrive. On the plan
tation also are numerous mahogany
trees, some of which are of plodigious
growth, thus demonstrating the rich
ness OF the soil. The property is To-
Gated in the department of Palenque,
state of Chiapas, and it is unquestion-
ably adapted to the productions OF rub
Der and the growth of hardwood timber
trees of great variety.
The committee of investigation con-
sisted OF Judge Lucien Shaw, POST
master o. w. Maulsby. Rev., L. M.
Hartley, of Redlands, Cal; 4. A. Cir
vim and c. A. Westenberg. They visit
ed the property during the current
year, and in their report the informa-
ton is vouchsaied that the rubber tree
of the variety known as the Castilloa
Elastica is indigenous to the country
and especially to the lands lying along
the river Michel, on which the prop
erty OF the company has wide front
age. Under one of these trees ], 46l
young rubber plants were counted, al
of which had sprouted from the seec
that had fallen from the tree during
the present year. The trees bloom
in their fifth year, and may be safely
tapped the year following. Nurseries
have been established for the propa
cation of rubber trees, and all ar
thriving. A large force of men ar
employed in building roads, planting
trees and developing the property

Wood Too Hard to Rurn.

There are certain kinds of wood that
are too hard to burn, or refuse to ignite
for some other reason, such as iron
wood and the good brier root, but it is
a curiosity to come across a piece of
common deal-the soft, light wood of
which so many boxes are made-that
cannot be set fire to.
The piece of wood in question was
common white deal from Sweden, but
was remarkable for it's comparative
weight. 1t had formed part of boat
belonging TO a whaler and had been
dragged below the surface of the wa
ter to the depth of more than half a
mile by harpooned whale. The
length of line and the short distance
from the point of descent after being
struck at which the whale rose to the
surface was a proof of the depth to
which it had dragged the boat.
Only part Of the boat came up again
at the end of the line, and 1t was taken
on board when the whale had been
killed. That piece Of wood was so
hard that it would not burn in a gas
jet. The weight of water had COM
pressed it.-London Standard.

silence You Can See.

There is no such thing as silence in
this world. 1t is an impossibility. That
is partly the reason why science has en-
abled us to see it.
The explanation of the paradox is
this: Silence, as we understand it. sim
ply means that there are sounds TOO
delicate or too loud for the ear to regis,
ter. In other words. when we cant
hear anything we call that condition
Silence" But wherever you are there
are sounds around you. Even in the
deepest mine the air vibrates and
makes a sound. An instrument has
been invented that will catch these
sounds and permit of the vibrat ions he
ing represented pictorially on screen.
and in that way you may see silcucs'
and properly understand what il
means.
By comparing the pictures of noises
with those of that condition of things
known as silence we gain an idea of the
difference between a noisy night. for
instance, and one when absolute 81
lence reigns," as the novelist puts it. II
is rather surprising to find so much dis,
turbance at the time when everything.
