Watch Springs.

The watch carried by the average
mar is composed of ninety-eight pieces,
and It's manufacture embraces more
than 1000 distinct and separate opera
lions.
Hairspring wire weighs one-twenti
eth of a grain to the inch. One mile OF
wire weighs less than half a pound.
The balance gives five vibrations ev-
cry second, 200 every minute, $4,000
every hour. 432. 600 every day and 49,
100000 every year.
The value of springs when finished
and placed in watches is enormou in
proportion to the material from which
they are made. A ton Of steel made VI
into h~airsprings when in watches is
worth more than twelve and one-half
times the value of the same weight in
pure gold.

Howard Evans. Miss Florence Bar
nett was in charge of the social, she
being chairman of the social committee
of the League.

Inventor Davy and Love.

Sir Humphry Davy, the inventor of
the Davy lamp, found love something
of a delusion, If not a snare. Writing
to his mother, he said, 81 am the hap
piest of men In the hope of a union
with a woman equally distinguished
for virtues. talents and accomplish
ments." And in a letter to his brother
he expresses his rapture thus: Mrs.
Apprece has consented to marry me.
and when the event takes place l shall
not envy kings, princes or potentates !"
The widow must have been q person
possessed of great powers of fascina-
ton, for Sir Henry Holland makes
mention of her as a lady who made
such a sensation in Edinburgh society
that even a regius professor did not
think it beneath his scholarship to go
down on his knees in the street to fas-
ten her shoe. The sequel need not be
dwelt upon further than to add that
the marriage turned out to be alto
gether a mistake.

QUEER TELEGRAPH POLES.
Made of Adobe In BoIivia-Growine
Trees Used In Africa.

Made of Adobe In Bolivia-Growino
Trees Used In Africa.
The most original telegraph line III
the world once extended from the cap
ital of Bolivia, La Paz, to the town OF
Oruro. In this part of Bolivia there
are no growing trees, and wood is 50
difficult to find that even the ordinary
household furniture of the natives is
invariably made not of wood, but Of
dried mud or adobe.
So when the war broke out between
Chile and Bolivia and a telegraph line
became urgent 1t was adobe that was
chosen for the queerest telegraph poles
in existence. These pillars were built
on stone foundations and measured
about five feet square at the base, with
a height of about fifteen feet.
They were placed at intervals OF
about 361 feet and thus held the wire
at a height sufficient to clear the only
animals of the country, the llama and
the donkey. The total length of the
line was 1876 miles.
Among other curious telegraph lines
Is the growing pole line erected in
Uganda by an English engineer, who
could not find any dead wood which
would withstand the white ants and
hit upon the idea of transporting grow
ing bark cloth trees to the side of the
roads and using them as poles.
In the Dutch East Indies growing
trees are turned to account also, but
there a wire is stretched across the
road between the trees on either side.
and the insulator is suspended In Its
middle, and the line is thus over the
road and clear from vegetation.-Chi-
cage Tribune.

AN ACCURATE CLOCK.
The Timepieoe In the Observatory of
Columbia University.

The Timepiece In the Observatory Of
Columbia University.
: In the observatory Of Columbia uni
versity is one of the most accurate
clocks in the world. 1t has run for
several months with a mean error of
only ffteen-thousandths of a second
and a maximum error Of thirty-thou-
sandths of a second per day. That
means that it does not vary more than
half a second a month, or six seconds
a year.
Compare this with the first pocket
~timepiece, the animated egg of Nu-
remberg," which required winding
twice a day and varied an hour and a
half in the same timel Compare it
with some Of the highest priced
watches manufactured today, which
often vary more than ten seconds a
week. and you will have some idea of
the ~re1nements In the science Of meas
uring time. Yet ever this accuracy is
surpassed by some famous timepieces,
IL the trade magazines are to be be-
aieyed. There have been accounts In
them of clocks or watches that have
varied less than a second in periods as
long as ten years.
The clock at the University of Co
iumbia is an astronomical clock. 1t is
surrounded by a glass case in which a
partial is maintained. and In
order that the case may not be opened
or disturbed the winding is done auto
mat1cally by electricity. The clock is
set up In a room especially constructed
to keep 1t free from jar or vibration.
The temperature and barometric con-
ditions are maintained practically con
slant, and every possible precaution is
taken to minimize the errors of the
running mate.-New York World.

Proprietor Spencer, of the Casino
bowling alleys and pool room, will
soon make important changes to his
places of amusement. The arrange
ment of the pool room will be all
changed and Frank Rosatto, the well
known Philadelphia pool table manu-
facturer, has an order to recover all the
pool tables.
Tonight the Big Five basket ball
team will lineup against the ex-Wild-
wood team at the Casino rink for the
final game of the season. The ex-
Wild wood team will include Hogan
and Sem, the two well known for
wards of the old w. A. A. team last
winter. Both teams are pretty evenly
matched and an exciting game may
be looked for. Cape May City was to
have played here last Wednesday
night but owing to their being unable
to get here the game had to be called
off. The Big Five wind up their sea-
son tonight after a successful winters
playing and although they did not
win as many games as they would have
liked to, yet in all the games they
played this winter there vas not a
team whom they lined up against that
outplayed them in floor work. Their
weak point was In shooting, which is
natural as they were every one 'green"
when they started to play, not one of
them having played a game before.
With the assurance of their floor
knowledge to back them they expect
to start out earlier next season and put
on a winning team. They wish to
thank the public for their generous
support the past winter.

REJECT MINERS TERMS
Anthracite Coal Operators Re:
fuse to Grant Demands.

Philadelphia, April 10.-After con-
ferences extending since Wednesday
between anthracite coal operators and
officials of the United Mine Workers
of America, at which the question Of
wage agreement to replace that
brought about by the anthracite strike
commission was discussed, the opera
tors rejected the modified demands of
the miners presented Thursday, and
the conference adjourned in a dead
lock.
There will be no strike inaugurated
by the mine workers, however, and
the only danger of a suspension of
mining in the near future, according
to the mine workers officials, arises
from the possibility Of the refusal of
the operators to permit the miners TO
work without an agreement.
The modified demands of the miners
requested that the mine workers be
recognized as "anthracite workers"
and that conditions regarding new
work by the miners. in which wages
were involved, and which would give
increased pay to the miners, be i'm
proved.

GUMPTION ON THE FARM.

In every instance the man who
has just finished has great advantage
over the one who is just going to do
it. Procrastinat1on is the greatest
enemy OF agriculture, and for that
matter of every other culture.
Make a bundle Of last years mis-
takes and pillow them under deep.
How could potatoes see TO grow it
they didn't have one or more eyes
under ground?
If your neighbor has good man
who is satisfied with his place, Don t
try to entice him away. There's where
the Golden Rule fits in.
Because hard work made them so,
don t be ashamed OF bent shoulders
It is better to be bent IN the back
than broke IN the pocket.
Get out of the notion of making
BEDS in your garden. Long rows
a1e best. Then the horse or the wheel
noe can do most OF the work.
Working so late in the field makes
supper late and the tired mother must
wash the dishes and potter about until
bedtime, instead of resting. Better
have an earlier supper and an hour to
read and rest.-Farm Journal

Castro Expelled From the ISL
and Of Martinique.
CARRIED ON BOARD STEAMER
Venezuelan Insisted He Was Tc]
III to Quit His Bed.

Fort de France, Martinique, April
10.-Cipriano Castro, former president
Of Venezuela, was ANONYMOUSLY ex.
PEELED tonight from the island of Mar
Unique by the French government at
the request of the United States.
He protested to the last against his
expulsion, but his protests were In
vain, and, refusing to walk, he was
borne on a stretcher to launch in
the harbor. He is now on board the
French line steamship Versailles,
bound for st. Nazaire, France.
Official notice was served on Castro
this morning of the decision of the
French government that he must leave
the island within nine hours of the re-
ce1pt of such notice and that the COM
missary of police of Fort de France
had been charged with the execution
of the order.
The ex-president was furious and
strove throughout the day to find some
excuse that would be satisfactory to
the colonial government whereby he
would not be compelled to obey the
order and to this end he summoned
q lawyer and physician late today to
verify that he was unable to leave the
country.
The governor of Martinique and the
public prosecutor, however, refused
an extension of time and about 5
O'Clock the commissary of police, &C
companied by large force of gen
darmes, proceeded to the hotel where
Castro was stopping to remove him
forcibly, if necessary, to the steamer.
Castro had locked the door to his
suite and when called on to open it
refused. Finally the door was broken
down and Castro was found in bed
He protested that he was seriously
Ill and commission of physicians
was summoned to examine him for a
second time. They confirmed the ear
Her report and then the gendarmes
were called into the room and picked
up the defiant exile, placing him on a
mattress taken from a bed. On this
Castro was carried to the dock, where
the launch was in waiting to convey
him to the vessel which had been de-
tanned until he could be put on board
