WORK THAT A WATCH DOES

maker:
Here is a watch which you sold
me some ten years ago. 1t has al
ways gone we'll till just lately, when 1t
has taken to stopping without any ap-
parent cause"
The people who speak in this way
little think of the amount of work a
watch has performed in this space OF
time and might be astonished at the
following figures:
In ten years, which includes two
leap years, and consequently total
of 1862 days, the hour hand has made
1904 and the minute hand S7,64S rev.
olutions. The end of an average min
ute hand travels more than 1O,82O

tons, and it's extremity has traversed
on the dial a distance of upwards OF
1913 miles. The escape wheel has made
52,5SS,8 800 revolutions, and as 1t has

Birds Flock to Their Death.

An old sportsman of Normandy de-
clares that round the lighthouse of
Barf1eud last November there were
picked up in the course of four nights
10000 birds of all sorts, including
1900 woodcock. The lighthouse on
the Pointe de Penmarch, in Brittany,
has a revolving light of 100000
candle power. Visiting this on No
vember 10 last year, and again on the
18th, an observer saw tens of thous-
ands of birds whirling round, and it
seemed to him that the light shot out
a perfect hail of electric sparks among
the migrants. Next morning he was
present while the dead bodies were
being collected. They are dispatched
every day to Paris by train, and the
catch" he was told, often comprised
1900 to 1000 victims; one morning
alone there had been more than 500
woodcock in the bag"

CAT MUST NOT BE STRUCK
commended by ar Authority on
the Subject.

It isn't a very nice task to punish
pussy If you're fond of her, but there
are times when she must be chas.
tised. This is how to do it, according
to Louis Vain, the great authority on
the fascinating feline.
In the first place, don't actually
strike the cat A blow merely numbs
it. And when the spine, which is its
most sensitive part, is struck-par.
ticularly If the cat is old-it is likely
to spring at the striker.
When pussy does anything wrong,
brighten the wrongdoer by striking a
stick in the ground. A cat is most
sensitive to sounds, and will connect
this new noise with what it has done.
1t feels more intensely than most ami
mails; hence its supposed savagery in
cases. Cats are highly electrical, and
it is very good to have one perch on
ones shoulder or knees.
