a. WATCH PROBLEM.
Telling the Time In the Dark With the
Hands Removed.

Telling the Time In the Dark With the
Hands Removed.
Some time ago a poor old peasant
who had invoked the kings wrath was
seized by the kings soldiers and pReed
In dungeon, says the Scientific Aneri-
can. His majesty was present and had
the old man searched before being in
carcerated. All his personal property
consisted OF a cheap watch, a small
penknife, a shilling in cash and lead
pencil. The poor old man begged for
mercy, but Ills pleadngs awaited him
nothing, and he finally asked to be
granted the privilege Of knowing the
length OF his sentence. In reply the
king took his knife and watch, which
lay on the tahies and, after taking the
knife and prying the hands off the
watch, returned to him his watch, say
ing, when you have learned to tell
the time correctly by this watch in
your dungeon cell you will be llberat-
ed The poor old man. knowing that
the king meant a life sentence, stag
gered into his cell and wept bitterly.
Nevertheless he was liberated in TWEEN
ty-four hours, having accomplished the
wonderful task Of telling the correct
time in the dark with a watch without
hands. How did he do itg
A watch derives its power Of motion
from the recoil Of the mainsprlng, and
the recoil Is governed by the balance
and lever. For instance. If 1t takes
twenty-four fun turns Of the stem TO
wind the watch and the watch runs
twenty-four hours when fully wound,
then for each turn Of the stem 1t will
run one hour.
A more simple method Is to hold the
stem firmly between the fingers and
turn the watch around. In winding the
watch 10 run for one hour the ratchet
on the handspring viii click, say, thirty
times, which proves that this watch
runs two minutes for each click of the
ratchet which is attached to the main
spring. We will suppose it was 10
o'clock noon when the watch was last
wound up and you now wish to know
the time. Beginning to wind 1t up,
you count the clicks and find that be-
fore it Is again wound up fully the
ratchet clicks 100 times. BY dividing
this by thirty we get four and one
third, or four hours and twenty min
utes, which added to II O'Clock makes
the hour 400 p. m.
While watches are not all exactly
alike, the principle is the same, and ii
is simply case Of mental arithmetic
in order to be able to tell the time
But you must always remember the
time Of the starting point or first wind
ing and after that the time at the
last winding.
The above was the method used by
the poor old peasant, whose life mostly
depended on his release and who was
Immediately rewarded by the king
with his liberty and life pension.

Burlington, Aug. 12.--Hon. Maxwell
Eyarts passed through Burlington the
last Of last week on his way to Bluff
Point to arrange for the annual outing
Of the Vermont Fish and Game league.
To Times reporter he discussed the
first annual state fair. Mr.. Eyarts il
the father Of the bill that created the
state fair commission and made it pos
sible to have state exhibit under the
direction and auspices Of the state. 1t
is pet idea Of his and he is bound
that it become permanent affair and
one freighted with success. Mr.. Evart
is chairman of the commission.
eve are getting along nicely at the
grounds at White River junction said
Mr.. Evarts. THE location is ideal and
when the people of the state see what
the commission has accomplished in the
way of arrangement and aeosmmoda-
tions / feel sure that they win take
great pride in this deserving institution.
TN some quarters the idea seems to
prevail that the state fair Is in opposi-
tion to county fairs. Such conception
Is wide off the mark. On the contrary
the state fair will be an aid to the
county fairs. II cannot fail of proving
most beneficial to exhibitors and round
ing out circuit to all who have cattle,
sheep and horses to exhibit. An exhi.
bitor wins a premium at q county fair.
He comes to the state fair with this win
ming to his credit and If he captures a
premium at the state fair 1t adds 80
much more to the value of his exhibit.
The fact that the state fair will be
held in October, after all the county
fairs have completed their dates, demon
strates fully that the state event is in
no. way in opposition with the county
events.
"Fact is, the management Of several
OF the county fairs are working hand in
hand with us. They are interested in
seeing the stock OF che state given
greater prominence than the county fairs
can possibly give. We are aiming for a
betterment of farming conditions. We
certainly are not antagonizing any
county fair or farming interest, and |
am sure that the people Of the state,
all over it, will corroborate this state
ment when they visit our exhibit Oct.
i, 2 and 3.
Il wish to thank the newspaper men
personally for the liberal way in which
they are treating our first fair We
realize that it is to the press of the
state that we must look for publicity
and that this publicity will create the
interest in this most worthy and de-
serving institution"
Mr.. Evarts stated that the exhibit in
every department would be the largest
and most valuable ever shown in the
state,
