The Wearing Of a Watch. y


At meeting Of the British Watch
and Clock Makers guild Which is
the better way to keep a watch at
5night-lying fiat or hanging up?" was
debated. The general opinion was
that 1t was better to let it lie fat.
The vice president Of the guild said
it depended upon the kind Of watch.
II It were one such as Captain Cutie
wore or anything Incapable Of giving
some sort of timekeeping, the wearer
should be advised to keep it always
in one position It will wear out soon
er, but that does not much matter. A
good watch should lie fiat at night
The variation Of rate between hang
ing and lying is very small, and the
difference is practically constant, SO
that the mean rate is constant. In the
hanging position all the parts are run
ming on the side bearings, where there
is the greatest friction and wear. BY
letting the watch lie flat at night and
run on the end bearings, where there
Is less friction, the wear is distributed
and the watch made more durable.

THE EMILY REED GOES ASHORE
AND TEN LIVES ARE
LOST.
(By Associated Press.)

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb 14.-The
ship Emily Reed, 103 days
out from Newcastle, Australia, for
Portland, Ore, with cargo of coal,
went ashore at 1870 O'Clock this
at the mouth of Nehalem
river, on the Oregon coast. and broke
in two. The crew was swept over
board by the seas, and ten lost their
lives. Six were saved, including
Captain Kissel and wife. Twenty
five per cent reinsurance was quoted
on the ship.
The survivors were brought to the
bay city this morning and are now
quartered at the private residences of
that town During the past few days
heavy weather has been prevailing
off the Oregon and California coasts.
The chronometers of the Emily Reed
were off and the master worked her
too close into shore before he discoy-
cred his error. The ship struck the
beach bow on. There was heavy
sea running and a strong flood tide
When she hit the beach her back
broke and the forward end took
list to port An effort was made to
launch lifeboat, and it was put over
the side with three men in it. AS
soon as it hit the water it was
swamped and the occupants drown
ed The men forward were swept
overheard by the waves. At a late
hour this afternoon scarcely anything
was left of the once famous ship.
Her coal cargo was strewn along the
beach. 1t is doubtful whether any
of it can be saved.

according to the statement of w. H.
Merritt, who has just come out Of
the Susitna country The location is
800 miles from Valdez and $50 miles
from Fairbanks. The presence of
gold was discovered last fall
Merritt says that men are getting
out from $40 to $50 pan and there
is gold in unlimited quantities. He
is here for the purpose of buying ma
chinery and food Laborers are paid
$12 and SIS day, but there is no
use of any one going in without a
supply of food sufficient to last sew
eral months, for when Merritt left
there was not food enough at Val
dez creek to last five men all sum-
mer.
Merritt says that by next fall there
will be from 10000 to $4,000 mer
in the country. The pay streak runs
for seven miles.
