THE LARGEST WATCH.
Built Like the Most Delicate Pocket
Timepiece at a Cost of Thousands
of Dollars.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
There has just been finished at the
American Waltham watch factory a
mammoth watch. the largest in the
world. To build this gigantic timepiece
cost several thousand dollars and sew
eral weeks time. Special machinery
and tools were required for it's con-
struction. The watch is model of the
new model sixteen-size maximus,
three quarter plate watch, enlarged
ten times, perfect in every detail and
as highly finished as the finest watch.
The diameter of the pillar plate is
seventeen inches, and the movement is
two and one-half inches thick. The
balance wheel is six and one half inches
in diameter, and the brequet spring
which controls its action is eight feet
long, .0S of a centimeter thick and %
of a centimeter wide. When running
the balance makes a vibration in a Of
a second. The pallet stones are of
sapphire and exquisitely polished. The
actuating, or handspring, is % feet
long, IT of a centimeter thick and 30
centimeters wide.
The mammoth model is as complete
ly jeweled as watch of the finest
grade. The plate jewels, which are as
large as the smallest movement made.
or about the size of nickel five-cent
piece, are fine rubies, about ten lines
in diameter, but pushed with sapphires.
The polish of the wheels, pinions and
other steel work is perfect and the
damaskeening on the plates is most
beautiful. The pendant and winding
crown are of fine bronze. brilliantly poll
ished. Every portion is made on the
exact scale of the watch it represents.
No dial has been made for this move
ment. as it is designed to show not
only the action of the train, but the
stem-winding and stem-setting mech
anism as we'll.
The movement stands on a bronze
pedestal and from its base to the tip
of the winding crown is twenty-six
inches.

Ject said the steward had left the yes

permission and without performing
his duties, and that this afternoon he
TOOK occasion to reprimand him for
his negligence. The steward became
insulting and finally told the captain
that he would do as he pleased. Capt.
Sprague says he told Hassell he would

leave the vessel.
At this Hassell became enraged, and

the pistol, he became docile and ask

future, The captain says that he took
the negro at his word and put down

DANGER IN PETS.
Parrots Responsible for Spread of n
Fatal Disease.

Parrots Responsible for Spread of n
Fatal Disease.
From American Medicine.
The newspapers have published the
interesting details of a prominent So
ciety womans display of affection for
her dying and dead parrot. There was
even question, it seems. of an expen-
sive funeral with many of the acces-
series usually accorded to those higher
in the scale of being. The parrot is
said to have died of a severe throat
disease. Owing to the swollen and
infiamed condition of the birds throat
it was unable to talk and seems also
to have been unable to swallow Not
withstanding this the family are said
to have bestowed many caresses upon
the ailing bird.
1t may be as we'll to remind foolish
individuals whose affections are so per-
verted that there is a very contagious
disease which attacks especially the
threats of parrots and which on a
number of occasions has been com
municated to human beings with Sc
rious and even fatal results. This dis
ease, called psittacosis. from the Greek
word for parrot, was first studied
ABOUT nVe years ago in Paris during
an epidemic that developed in that city
and was for a long time mystery to
attending physicians. Altogether
about sixty human beings We're at
tackled by the disease during one win
ter and of these about 40 per cent.
died. 1t is very probable that pet ami
mails are vehicles for the distribution
of a good many more diseases than has
been thought. Disease germs very sell
dom travel through the air, though this
is popularity supposed to be the usual
method of conveyance of microbes.
Flies. mosquitoes, birds. pet animals
of various kinds, are undoubtedly quite
often the medium of contagion. The
more is known of the biology of dis
ease germs and of the intermediate
host between man and man the more
it is realized that usually living things
and not inanimate objects are the car
riers of infectious material. Some time
we will reach a stage of civilization
in which it will be realized that wild
extremism in making pet animals. de-
naturalizing their lives and making
them liable to all the ills of humanity
besides their own. is a relic of savagerv
and is too often a manifestation Of
that barbaric selfishness of spirit that
delights in slaves. When this bit az
unthinking primevality Is done away
with we shall have less of the morbid
spirit that fosters anti-vivisection and
similar movements.

GEORGIA AND FLORIDA

Milledgeville Union Recorder: Capt,
K. r. Foster, superintendent of the
prison farm, has separated the juvenile
male convicts of the farm from. the

for some time, as he realized that there
would be a better opportunity to re
fern and make good and useful citi-
zens of the boys, If they were kept
from associa ting with those who have
grown old in crime. Capt. Foster has
fixed up the old Gannoway house for
the quarters. by making several
changes in the house, which contains
four rooms. He has made sleeping
apartments 80 by 16 feet in dimensions,
and added a dining room and chapel

well qualified for the position he is

Coast Railway dredge in order, pre-
paratory to beginning the work Of
dredging out the channel across the
bay to the point where the govern
ment proposes to make a new inlet

making Miami a deep-water port
This indicates that the work will be
commenced within the next few
weeks, and the promptness with which
the Florida East Coast Railway is
disposed to take up its part of the
work, shows how much in earnest it
is, and how anxious it is to have deep
water in Miami harbor as quickly as
possible. With a deep water entrance

while before our people would be en-
joying cheap water transportation for
their products to the various markets.

BILE that the Mayors of the cities and
towns in Georgia will meet in Macon
ia September.
The idea of holding the convention
to discuss municipal affairs originated
with Mayor Minis, of Atlanta. but for
some reason. possibly because of this
lot weather, Mayor Minis does not
care to bother with the details and
necessary work attendant upon such
o meeting, is incliped to turn over the
matter to Mayor Smith.
There are about one hundred and
fifty cities and towns in Georgia. and
nearly every one will be represented at
such convention. The meeting must
result in good not only to Macon, but
II all the cities and towns. Macon could
not be better advertised than by these
officials, and should the convention be
called Macon may be relied on to give
the visiting Mayors a hearty welcome
and a royal good time.
