Secretary Can Say.
The Ohio supreme court rendered
a decision today holding that the
secretary of state had final lurisdic-
ton in accepting or rejecting the p"-
tition filed with his asking foa vote
Of the people under the recall and
referendum law.
Secretary Of State Graves recently
refused to place upon the ballot n
referendum on taxation laws upCn
the ground that the petition asking
for such 4 vote contained thousands
of forged names. While 'he court
sustained the contention OF GOverno"
Cox and other state officers that the
action Of the secretary OF state was
final it also decided to give Il hear
ing to the supporters Of the rcfereH'
dun who charged that the secretary
Of state threw out bona tide petit
lions.

TREATING SICK ELEPHANT.

A mustard plaster and a dc;e Of
gin and ginger comprise the cure for
elephantine stomach aches in the
New York ZOO. Elephants, especial
ly those lately arrived from the trop-
les, are liable to stomach ache of a
nature sufficiently extreme to cause
them to roll on the ground in agony.
The external application of mustard
and internal application of gin and
ginger soon brought relief. In APP
plying the mustard poultice blan-
ket is wrapped around the body of
the PROSTATE animal, over the plas-
ter, and upon this two or three men
stamp SO as to insure the close appli-
cation of the plaster. The ele-
plants, after one application, seem
to recognize its worth, and submit
to further treatment.

UP-TO-DATE WATCH MAKING
Ingenious Machines Now in Operation
Turn Out All Parts Of
Timepiece.

The rapidity with which watches
are nowadays manufactured has
been made possible by the ingenious
machinery designed within recent
years for the making of all parts Of
watch. The speed with which these
various parts are turned out is little
short of marvellous. Great sheets of
brass and steel are cut and rolled
into ribbons and punched out into
wheels at the rate of ten thousand
day from each punching machine.
Workers drill the thirty-one holes in
the roof of the watch as fast as they
can count.
Brass wire glides into machine
that measures off the length of a
part, turns it, puts a screw thread
on each end and actually screws it
in at the rate of two thousand day.
The screws are of such tiny size
that fifty gross of them may be put
in a woman's thimble, while Of 9TH
crs there are one thousand gross to
the pound.
Balances are cut from the solid
steel, ground down, worked up and
drilled with their twenty-five screw
holes apiece at the rate of one hum
dred wheels a day from each ma
chine.
Wheels have their teeth cut.
couple of dozen at time, some with
from sixty to eighty teeth, at the
rate of twelve hundred wheels day
from each machine. = Harpcr's
