WONDERS OF A WATCH.

Its Marvellous Mechanism and the
Power That Moves 1t.
We hear much from time to time OF
the wonders OF this or that complicat-
ed and intricate machiue. but there
are few pieces of machinery more mar
velous than that Of the common watch
A watch, it may be stated as a gen.
eral proposition. is the smallest. most
delicate instrument OF the same num-
Der Of parts that has ever been de-
vised. About 175 different pieces OF
material enter into its construction.
and upward Of 240O separate opera
tons are comprised In its manufacture.
Certain of the facts connected with
its performance are we'll nigh incredi-
BILE when considered as o whole. A
blacksmith strikes several hundred
blows on his anvil In a day and. al q
matter OF course. is glad when sunday
comes, but the roller jewel OF watch
makes every day-and day after day
432. COO impacts against the fork, or
157 $50 600 blows during the course Of
a year. without stop or rest-some
8. 100000 blows during the space Of
twenty years. the period for which a
watch il usually guaranteed to keep
good time.
But the wonder Of it does not cease
here 1t has been calculated that the
power that moves the watch is equiva-
lent to only four times the force used
in flea's jump. The watch power IL
therefore what might be termed the
equivalent Of four nea-power. One
horsepower would xufice to operate
10000 600 watches.
Furthermore. the balance wheel Of q
watch is moved by this four nea-power
1 1870 inches with each vibration, or
3,55S4 miles continuously in one year.
Not much oil Is required to lubricate
the little machine on It's 3.3OO mile
run. 1t takes only one-tenth Of 4 drcp
to oil the entire machinery for . years

Youth Who Died in Cambridge
City Stable Proves a
Deep Mystery.
yAUSE OF DEATH UNKNOWN
OPINION As TO WHETHER HE
WAS MURDERED, sUiciDED OR
DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES
EQUALLY DIVIDED.

Little additional information has
been secured by Coroner A. l.. Bram-
kamp to establish the cause OF death,
or the identity of the we'll dressed
youth whose badly decomposed body
was found Sunday morning in the
shed on the ball park grounds at Cam
bridge City.
There Is no evidence to substantiate
the theory that the lad was murdered.
except that there was nothing of value
on the young mans person, which
would lead to the murder for robbery
theory. The other theories that death
was due to natural causes or suicide
are equally well based.
Nothing has been heard from the
Chicago clothing. company which
made the suit the victim wore. Night
Waterman Hunt, employed on the
Pennsylvania construction work told
the coroner that a lad. answering the
description in some respects OF the
body found Sunday, was wandering
along the railroad last April. When
Hunt saw him he was seated near a
boiler, and asked whether he would
have to leave his place. He said that
he had no place to go.
Hunt took him to his shanty, keep
ing him there until o'clock in the
morning. He was sent away at that
time because there were strict orders
against allowing any one in the night
watchman's shanty. Hunt gave the
young man his lunch and the boy ate
,ravenously. He said that that was
the first bite to eat he had had for
two days. $40 ..Ef trt
The young man did not state his
name. but said that he was on his way
to Celina. Ohio, where he had broth
er and a mother. He had been In
Texas during the winter. Coroner
Bramkamp doubts whether this is the
same man whose body was found Sun
day, owing to the badly advanced
state Of decomposition Of the body.
