WATCH WILL ADJUST ITSELF
Remarkably Simpie Method Of Making
Timepiecs That Is Too Fast Or
Too Slow Set itself.

Frederick E. Ward sends to the Sci.
entific American a remarkably simple
method OF making a watch that ia too
slow or too fast set itself. The usual
method Is to turn the hands backward
or forward or to stop the balance
wheel with toothpick
II watch be removed from its
chain and hung by its bow on hook
or nail SO that 1t swings free 1t will
be found to oscillate back and forth
like pendulum. This motion IL
caused by the motion OF the parts OF
the escapement, The swinging either
accelerates or slows down the running
OF the watch Its exact effect varies
with individual watches, depending
upon the weight and aize OF the case.
Whether 1t makes the watch gain or
lose, and how much. can be found by
experiment, say. by hanging the watch
up for ten hours and checking 1t by
the wireless signals that are sent out
at noon and 10 D. m. by the govern
ment station at Radio. Va, and can be
caught by any but the crudest wireless
receivers.
The average watch gains about two
seconds an hour when hanging free.
Some. however. lose When the pre-
else gain or loss has been ascertained
the regulator should be adjusted II
the watch gains 1t should be made to
run tritie slow.
Now, by repeated trials, the owner
can learn precisely how many seconds
his watch gains or loses. When this
error has accumulated long enough
to make an adjustment advisable. all
he has to do Is TO hang up his watch
for the right number OF hours to bring
Its second hand back or forward to the
correct position.
Should a watch be found neither to
gain nor to lose when hanging, 1t can
be made to respond by hooking piece
OF metal TO the stem, thus raising the
center of oscillation

UST the most fashionable garment
for mountain and seaside resorts,
where mornings and evenings bring
exhilarating breezes with snappy
chill in them. is the silk sweater-coat.
These smart garments are selling
freely at figures which rather take
ones breath away Twenty-Five to
thirty dollars each seems high price
for a sweater of any sort. But there
is no difficulty IN finding people who
are quite willing TO pay it. Once let
fashionables, and their imitators, get
used to unusual prices and there is
not telling the length to which they
viii go.
Besides the sweaters and sweater
coats of silk--there are others Those
of wood fiber, which looks like silk,
and is as strong or stronger, are much
lower In price, about half as high.

ers in many colors and varieties Of

fortify their wearer against a chill.
The cool air. dropping down from
frosty mountain tops, and breezes that
have travelled from the land OF Ice
bergs to that of seaside hotels. are
the reasons for the existence OF sweat
ers. They stand daily use, and manu-
facturers are endeavoring to make
them attractive, and have, In fact. sue
ceeded In doing some very beautiful
knitting. 1t would not do to get too
far away from simplicity, and 1t is In
new ways of knitting that the best of
new attractions lie.

but they afford all the details Of orna-

On sweater coats for grownups
there are collars In several styles
which add much to their finish But
aside from this they are about the
same as the model shown In the pic
ture.

and for other domestic uses. A fac

for the manufacture Of cloth from this
