Queer Things Found in Stone.

A most interesting article on fossils
is contributed to the September Pear
sons by DR.. Campbell Brown. The
author gives a graphic description OF
some gigantic prehistoric monsters
whose skeletons have been found en-
bedded in masses of rock which have
faithfully preserved their most minute
details; he also encourages the anna
teur geologist to search for the more
common fossils, which may be found
in almost any quarry if one cares to
look for them.
mot only eggs, but birds, too, have
been found entombed in stone. One
of the greatest treasures in the Nation
al Museum at Berlin is slab Of white
lithographic slate, in which is embed
ded the complete skeleton of an extra
ordinary bird, called archaOpteryx.
AS this is the oldest bird in the earth 8
history yet found by geologists, great
significance in attached to the many
peculiarities noticeable in its skeleton.
Another astonishing discovery
made by those who search for thin s
in stone is that sea-serpents were at
at one time very common in all our
oceans. These pythonomorphs, as
they are called, were genuine sea-ser-
pents and had long, snake-like bodies,
with forelimbs modified into fat pad
dies, like aolphin's. Uncanny brutes
they must have been, for they actually
attained the length of 60 feet in come
cases, and were undoubtedly very rap.
id swimmers. Their skulls and jaws
were particularly massive, and their
voracious habits must have made them
a veritable terror to all their marine
contemporaries.
"But these are things which are not
met with every day, and which per-
son with little leisure and a hammer
is not likely to find in every quarry.
However, there are many things of
great interest to be found in stone al
most anywhere, if people care to look
for them.
Fossil fish, for example, are ex-
ceedingly abundant in some beds OF
rock.
"Still commoner fossils, met with al
most anywhere, are the shells Of mol
lusks of different kinds. Most ofthem
differ very little in general appearance
from the seashells one finds along any
shore at the present day. Others,
again, belong to mollusks which are
no longer represented in our seas.

Had to swar' Babies.

The power Of women to discover in
6ve.day-old babe resemblance to
its father has solved the problem Of
confused identity which had threat
ened to mar the peace Of two homes
and had only temporarily been settled
by lot after the grandmother, Mrs.
Katherine Lsngdeau Shelton, Of West
Madison, H., had lost track of two
infants, which were born in her bone
about the same time.
The two babies were born within
few minutes Of each other, in the
home OF Mrs. Shelton, their grand
mother, who welcomed them into the
world.
The house was in a furry. Mrs.
Shelton became bewildered. One
babe was boy and the other a girl.
All the grandmother could swear to
was that her younger daughter, Mrs.
Taylor, had first become a mother.
But she could not remember whether
the child was a boy or girl. The
mothers just at the moment were IN.
able to help her.
Mrs. Shelton was afraid at fret to
declare her perplexity. When her
daughter Halle asked for her child
she gave her the girl, because Hsllies
first child, born two years ago, had
been boy.
Mrs. Shelton's conscience wss not
easy after her arbitrary ruling, She
called the fathers into consultation,
with the result that they both declared
the mothers must be informed and
left to decide.
The disclosure was made, aud
neither mother wanted a child that
was not here, but neither was able TO
say which was her child, until the
step-grandfsther, Frank Shelton, pro.
posed that lots be cast. This was
agreed upon.
Mrs. Taylor, who has a boy two
years old, prayed to win the girl, Mrs.
Morse, who had girl eight years old,
prayed TO win the boy. Cards were
prepared and put in hat, one being
marked boy" and the other "Girl."
Their prayers were answered.
Afterward, while nursing the girl
she supposed to be hers, Mrs. Taylor
discovered the resemblance between
the other child, then in her sisters
arms, and her own husband. She
dropped the little girl instantly, call
ing out Laura, give me my child !
You have my child"
Soon afterward all the women in
the .neighborhood confirmed the young
mother in her conjectures, and with
little girl No. 2 Mrs Morse departed
with her husband for Flora, Ill. Mrs.
Taylor is still with her mother with
her second little boy.

A Smart Boy.

There was once a provision dealer
who was minding his shop while his
assistant was away at dinner.
A nice-lOokiug boy came in with a
basket on his head and said : 81 saw
a boy snatch up this ere basket from
the door and run away, but | ran after
him and made him give it up. Here
it is" "My lad, you are an honest
boy" "Yes, cir" "And you look
like good boy. "Yes, sir" "And
good boys should be encouraged. In
a box in the back room there are eight
dozen eggs; you may take them home
to your mother and keep the basket"
The sbopkeeper had been saving
those eggs, one at a time, for weeks
and months to reward someone. In
rewarding a good boy be also got
eight dozen bad eggs carried out Of
the neighborbood free Of cost. and he
chuckled little chuckle as be walked
home to dinner.
The morning after, as he returned,
wearing very complacent smile, In
addition to his other clothes, bis eye
caught basket of eight dozen clean,
fresh-looking eggs. Been buying
eggs?" he said to the shopman. They
look nice" "Yes," the shopmsn re-
piled. Il got them from a farmers
boy" "a lame boy, with a blue
cap?" said the proprietor. "Yes,"
answered bis assistant. 1.-TWO front
teeth out2" "Yes," said the man.
The shopkeeper sat down and ex-
amined the eggs. The shells had
been washed clean, but they were the
same eggs the boy had carried home
to bis mother the day before. and now
his shopman had bought them for
cash.

A Chinese Who Was "pecuIiar. ;,

Some time ago, so the "Pittsburg
News" says, an insurance agent wrote
a policy on the life of Chinaman-
the first ever written for a man OF
that race in Pittsburg.
How the insurance man did it he
alone knows. The Chinaman had no
very clear idea. He only understood
that if he paid the premiums prompt
ly he would be entitled to $1,000
some time. He began bothering the
agent for the money after couple OF
weeks had passed, and the agent tried
to explain to him that he would have
to die before any one could get it.
Then the Chinaman fell down a cel-
larway and was badly hurt. His
friends tried to attend to him without
calling in doctor. When they did
call in one, two days later, the doctor
was angry.
"Why didn't You call me sooner2"
he asked. "This man is half dead
now"
Next day the injured mans brother
was at the insurance Office with a
claim for $500.

this" said the insurance man, until

Wonders of a Watch.

much in little" can be said more
truly of frst-class American watch
than of almost any other product Of
human ingenuity and industry. The
watch one carries in his pocket, unless
it is of the cheapest "pocket-clock"
variety has in its movement more than
$50 parts, and this number does not
include the case which holds the
movement.
A glance at the movement is enough
to show that most Of its parts are very
small, but one can scarcely realize
how minute some of them are. Take,
for example, the numerous screws
which hold the parts together. Some
of them are SO tiny that it takes near
ly 10000 of them to weigh pound.
One must use a good microscope to
see the threads in these screws, and
each of the threads must be absolutely
perfect and true, or the screw is use
less.
There are screws in a small-sized
watch, such as women usually carry,
which have a thread of 260 to the
inch. The weight Of one of these
screws is one one hundred and thirty
thousandth of pound.
The diameter of the pivot of the
balance wheel in watch is only one
two-hundredth of an inch, and pivots
are classified by gauge which meas
ures down to one ten-thousandth Of an
inch. The jewel hole into which the
pivot fits is one fve-thousandth of an
inch larger than the pivot, sothat the
latter may have sufficient play.
Jewels in a watch movement are
cut from slabs Of garnet, ruby or sap
phire, one-fftieth Of an inch thick.
Then they are surfaced" drilled
through the center, and on the con-
vex side depression is made for an
oil cup. A pallet jewel, finished and
in use, weighs one one hundred and
ffty-thousandth of pound, while the
weight of roller jewel is fraction
more than one two hundred and fifty
six thousandth Of a pound.
The largest hairspring stud is four
one-hundredths of an inch in diameter
and nine one-hundredths Of an inch in
length.
To make the complete movement
of good watch more than 300 diff
ferent processes are employed. 1t
takes about FIVE months to complete
single watch of the best grade, but as
all the processes are carried on stimuli
taneously the finished product is
turned out continuously by the manu-
facturers.
The balance in a modern watch
must make $4,000 vibrations every
hour. A change of only one beat will
cause the watch to gain or lose four
and four-Gfths seconds in "a hours.
Think of the wonderfully delicate
mechanism and equally delicate ad-
justment that puts together more than
$50 pieces of almost microscopical
size and turns out watch that will
not vary one second in "a hours; and
then take off your hat to the Ameri-
can manufacturer who. by doing this,
has taken the lead of the whole world
in the making of watches.
