THE FACULTY FOR SUCCESS.

MM UDGE GARY says: "The rules which determine the
w e. question of salaries in the Steel Corporation are
W1E very simple First, integrity of character; second,
HR] good judgment; third, willingness and ability to
GH work; fourth, faculty for success"
What constitutes faculty for success as distinct
from integrity. good judgment and willingness and ability to work.
Ordinary moraists generally deny that enduring success can be
attained by any faculty or combination of faculties that lie outside
Of those high qualities of character, but they are wrong. Many a sue
cessful man has lacked those virtues. Some men who have had them
have died on the scafold.
1t is narrated of Napoleon that when seeking information con-
earning any man recommended for an important post he would
always ask: as he lucky?" But luck that plays so large a part in de-
Gliding battles has nothing to do with making steel. So the question
remains: What is the faculty for success in the trust business2

MECHANISM OF THE WATCH
About 175 Pieces of Material Used 2,4oo Operations Are Comprised in
 Its Manufacture.

Few pieces of machinery show more marvellous features than that of the watch. As a general proposition it may be stated that a watch is the smallest. most delicate instrument Of the same number of parts that has ever been devised. About 1I5 differ ent pieces of material enter into its construction and upward of 2,40O sep srate operations are comprised iu it's manufacture.
 Certain of the facts connected with it's performance are almost incredible when considered as a whole A black smith strikes several hundred blows on his anvil in a day and as a matter Of course is glad when Sunday comes, but the roller jewel of a watch makes every day-and day after day-423.00O impacts against the fork or. 157.6S0.- 900 blows during the course of year without stop or rest-or some 3.l53,- 900 900 blows during the space of twenty years, the period for which a watch is usually guaranteed to keep good time.
 But the wonder of 1t does not cease here. It has been calculated that the rover that moves the watch is equiv alent to ouly four times the force used in Q hea's jump. The watch power is therefore what might be termed the equivalent of a four ieapcwer. One horsepower would suffice to operate s70.000.O00 watches.
 Furthermore the balance wheel Of a watch is moved by this four flea power I.43 inches with each vibration, s55s1t miles continuously in one year.
