The Dead Watch Tieked.

A strong box containing family rec
ords and heirlooms was opened a few
days ago To examine an old manu-
script. The box had not been disturbed
for several years, and the women who
had taken il into private room were
surprised when they removed an old
fashioned open face watch from its
resting place To hear II tick loudly.
This 10 them was evidence that the box
had been tampered with But every
thing was found intact and in keeping
with the memorandum OF contents, and
they were much perplexed because Of
the ticking watch, which ceased its ac-
tivity before the box was returned to
its place. A matchmaker who was con
suited said that such 'momentary life"
in dead" timepieces when disturbed
was not uuusual.-New York Tribune

How Wheat Perspires.

When you are perspiring furionsly In
the dog days IL may or may not con
sole you TO think that an ordinary field
of wheat Is giving off moisture quite
as furiously. Between the months of
April and July. according To Sir
James Dewar. a field of wheat per.
spires sufficient moisture TO cover the
surface of it's ground To depth OF nine
inches Another Interesting fact is that
Il requires three and half pounds
of water to produce sixteen grains of
wheat. Speaking Of the solar radiation
In tropical places. Sir James says that
In six hours about four tenths Of a
square mile receives heat equivalent to
the combustion OF 1000 tons Of coal.
while an area of l.3DO square miles
receives I'm one year heat equivalent To
i.OOOOOO.OO0 tons Of cual-the whole
estimated coal output OF Europe and
