WHY DO MAINSPRlNGs BREAK?
Despite Best Of Care Little Strips Of
Steel Sometimes Snap Into
Many Pieces.

Who wrote the letters of Junius %
Who was the man with the iron
mask! Why do watch mainsprings
break? The best mainsprings break,
and they will break until the watch
makers discover some secret of ma
lure which is as yet unrevealed to
them. They know that sudden cleo
ulcal disturbance of the atmos phere.
extreme changes of temperature. or
contact with cold substance will oc-
casionally result in a broken main
spring. But they do not understand
why spring sometimes snaps in
twain or in twenty pieces despite the
best of care. The spring is piece
OF tempered steel. usually about tweu-
ty inches long. coiled in a barrel be-
tween the upper and lower plates of
the movement. 1t is the motive DOW
er OF the watch. It is made in de-
grees OF strengths. widths, and thick.
nesses suitable to the watch. AS 1t is
subjected to varying conditions from
highest tension when fully wound to-
comparative rest when the watch is
run down. and as it is constantly un-
dergoing change in resistance as its
coils unfold. 1t seems to be the only
part OF the watch subject to casualties
against which even careful use cam
not always provide.
One Of the largest manufacturers
OF watches In the world states that a
sudden spell Of hot weather is inyari-
ably succeeded by a noticeable in
crease In the number of complaints of
broken watch springs At first thought
his information is puzzling. A sud-
len drop rather than sudden rise in
temperature would seem to be the nat
lral cause. Cast metals show great
'r orittleness at low temperatures un-
Ter all kinds Of stress. And steel and
ron show a marked loss under Inn
,act or sudden stress.
1t may be easy to understand the
'reakage of handspring when in ex-
eedingly warm weather the watch is
emoved from superheated pocket
nd laid suddenly on cold marble or
ron slab. But the sudden breaking

Modern Wooden SAILING Shin.

There is a general idea that the
wooden sailing ship is thing of the
past. but there recently loaded at
Baltimore for its maiden voyage a
wooden vessel that far outranks any
that ever put to sea- This is six
masted schooner called the Wyoming.
and is a splendid ship in every par
ticular. with gross register of 1880
tons. or twenty-five tons more than
the well-known steel hull six-masted
schooner William L. Douglass of Bos-
ton. The Wyoming is 329 feet 2
inches long. so feet inch beam. and
80 feet 4 inches depth of hold. II has
three decks. with five discharRine
matches. and took as its first cargo
5.S22 tons Of soft coal for Boston.
The frame of the huge schooner :.
securely strapped with iron and its
keelson is protected with big bands of
sheet iron. Telephones, steam pumps
steam hoists. etc.. make the vessel nm
to date In every particular. The vas.
sci cost $4,000 to build.
