TUBERCULOSIS in CHILDREN

The number OF deaths due to tuber-

THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN

Herbert Spencer, one of the greatest, if
not the greatest of modern philosophers,
says the rights of women must stand or
fall with those of men. ''They are de-
rived from the same authority; involved
nthe same axiom; demonstrated by the
same argument. The law of equal free
dom applies alike to both sexes. The
idea that the rights of women are not
equal to those of men is akin to the east
ern dogma that women have no souls.
Subordination of fenals to males reveals
its descent from barbarism. As the
usages OF mankind vary SO much, let us
hear how it is that the sphere We assign
woman is the true one, that the limits we
assign woman is the true one, that the
limits We have set to female activity are
just the proper limits, Let us hear why,
Oh this one point of our social policy, we
are exactly right, whilst we are wrong ON
SO many others.
"The desire to command is essen TALLY
barbarous desire. Whether seen in the
ukase of czar or in the order of an Eton
bully to his fag, it is alike significant OF
brutality. You must not do as you will,
but as will, is the basis of every man.
date, whether used by planter to his
negro, or by husband to his Wife"
These statements. and this logic of Her.
bert Spencer, have never been, and never
can be, upset.

WATCH EVOLUTION

Peter Henlein of Nuremberg, in Ger
many, about 1900, is now generally cred
tied with the invention of the portable
watch. The earliest watches were natur-
ally rather crude. This is shown by the
few specimens still in existence They
were circular in shape, not oval or egg
shaped ,andentirely made of iron. Tn place
of the round balance was a straight one,
called foliot. like most all watches up to
the year 1870, they were provided with
the verge escapement. The hairspring is
absent It was not invented till $50 years
later. In order to obtain a tolerably uni
form rate an upright hogs bristle was
used. against which the foliot strikes.
The uneven traction of the spring they
endeavored to prevent by means OF a
brake. Great accuracy was not aimed at,
which is shown by the fact that the old
est watches with very few exceptions up
to about the year 100 indicated only the
hours, the minute hand being entirely alb
sent.
While the first watches were rather
crude, there appeared only twenty or
thirty years after their invention works
that are termed almost technically per-
feet. The iron plates and Wheel had
given place to finely gilt brass ones. The
pinions we're of steel and polished, the
cocks artistically engraved and the pillars
neatly turned. Greater precision was OBJ
tanned when, about the year 1860, the
hairspring was invented by Dr. Hooke
and also, but entirely independent Of the
latter, by huyghens. This opened the
way for the introduction of the minute
hand, which is found quite generally
around the year 1700 Some OF the old
est watches were already furnished with
striking mechanism. About the year
1900 watches with alarms were made, and
in 1851 Barlowe, an Englishman, intro
duced the repeating watch.
Toward the year 1900 there was made
for the first time the second hand in
watches. The cylinder escapement is
known to be quite old, for it was origi-
mated as far back as 17lO, but was not
generally adopted until abont 1910. The
| lever escapement, the one used in the ma
iority Of American watches of the present
| time, was invented about 1865 by Thomas
Nudge.

ARE APPOINTMENTS ILLEGAL

A novel question has been raised which
may effect many persons holding State
positions and that is whether the men
appointed by Governor HUM and not
confirmed by the Senate in special session
can draw salary. The Constitution, in
section 8, article 8, says: "He (the COVER
noD shall have power to fill all vacancies
that may happen during the recess of the
Senate, in offices to which he may ap-
point, by granting commissions which
shall expire at the end of the next session
Of the Senate"
If the Constitution is properly con-
strued then all the acts OF magistrates,
etc, who were appointed by the Cover
nor shortly prior to the special session
have been illegal. Meanwhile politicians
are anxiously watching the outcome.
