THE BOOMERS

want you to say anything about it, I'd hold
off for six months.
But he was secretly pleased at their in
dependence when he learned that they
had sent home for money and had invested
it in the somewhat foolish attempt to bull
market that refused to rise. He saw the
crumbling of the city daily under his eyes,
until it would have been possible to buy a
lot on Main-st. with fine High Art" build
ing for less than the initial cost of the land,
and through it all, doggedly fighting losing
steps, he passed. At first he too had plunged
and bought, hoping by his example to stave
off the dissolution; then, recognizing the
hopelessness of such course, had tied his
pursestrings with hard knot against the
inevitable rainy day of the end and patient
" waited for the coup de grdce.
He was In a doubtful state, and speculat-
ing more on the future, when Port Hatch
would finally be numbered among the de-
serted cities, than on the immediate passing
days. He was studying the real estate and
financial news from other cities, with the
brave resolution that when he left Port
Hatch he would try to take the Colonel
with him and start all over again, surrepti-
tiously advancing funds to the Colonel for
partnership; for he knew that by no other
course could the Colonel be induced to ac-
cept anything. He did not stop to con-
slider the change in his own mental attitude,
nor could he have explained it, any more
than he could have accounted for the al

pendulurnS of this type consisted of nine
vertical, alternate bars of brass and steel.
Steel expands in given interval of tenn
perature only sixty-four per cent. of the
amount brass will expand in the same inter-
val. So the brass bars were made proper
tionately shorter than the steel bars, and
so arranged that their expansion upward
would compensate for the downward ex-
pansion of the steel bars during a rise in
temperature, and of course vice versa when
the temperature fell Thus the bob would
be raised by the brass bars as much as it
would be lowered by the steel bars, or, in
reality, its position would remain the same.
This was the old gridiron compromising
pendulum. The new gridiron is based upon
the same principle,-a utilization of the
greater expansibility of one metal than an
other,-but uses zinc and iron bars instead
of brass and steel. Because of the greater
expansibility of zinc over iron than brass
over steel it requires fewer bars.
Compensation in the balance wheel of a
watch was accomplished by the use of brass
and steel rims. Look at your watch. You
will find that the balance wheel has two
spokes (some have three, to each of which
one end of one-half Tor one-third) the rim is
attached. The other end of the semjcircu1ar
part of the rim is not fastened to anything.
Several tiny, adjustable weights are attached
to the rim near the free ends of its segments.
But notice the rim itself. 1t consists of
two parallel strips of metal, brass and steel,
firmly fastened together, the more expansi-
BILE, brass, being on the outside When the
temperature rises the spokes of the wheel
expand, pushing the rim outward. This in
creases the diameter and tends to make the
wheel move more slowly,-not much, but
just enough to make the watch inaccurate.
But while the spokes are expanding the rim

inside, or steel, layer. Since the layers are
fastened SO securely together that they can
not separate, the free end is forced in toward
the center, and the average diameter re-
mains the same The reverse is true when the
temperature lowers. William B. Byers

terations in the tides that still beat lam
guidly against the all but deserted wharves
of the city.
All he knew was that he had fought it all
out that day in Seattle, and had determined
never again to run from any issue and never
again to evade the truth. He even contem-
plated a journey to New York to try to make
peace with the directors of the Atlantic &
Oriental. And it was not through fear nor
selfishneSs that he did not, because he would
willingly have returned to his three. oldtime
victims all the money they had ever lost had
he believed that such a course would cause
them to relent; but he was convinced that
their announcement was irrevocable, and
that in all probability the inducements Of
fered by Seattle were greater than any that
Port Hatch could give. He had tried to
learn more definitely from the Colonel ex-
actly what the conversation at the board
meeting had been; but found him extremely
reticent or hot tempered whenever the sub
ject was preached. So he finally had
dropped it.
THE decline of the Colonel was more
pitiable; for his blow was greater, in
asmuch as he had never for an instant
doubted the advent of the railway, and the
continued prosperity of the city of which he
was so insanely proud. 1t required several
weeks for him to grasp the extent of the dis
aster, and then there were regular weekly
blows that hammered and battered him
beyond belief, these being occasioned by u

WHY WATCHES KEEP TIME

EVERYONE knows that most substances
. expand when heated and contract when
cooled. And most people know that wheel
or pendulum will take longer to move through
given arc when its diameter or length is
increased. But how many people have ever
stopped to think of the connection of these
two natural laws and their effect upon the
watch or clock?
For awhile the reconciliation of these two
laws proved a most difficult problem to
clockmakers A clock whose pendulum
would grow longer or shorter with the changes
of temperature was not dependable time
piece; and the same difficulty was expert
enced in the balance wheel of watch. In
fact, until this could be remedied, an accu-
rate mechanical timepiece seemed an inn
possibility.
Several solutions Of the problem have
been made, and more ingenious devices it
would be hard to find.
One of the simplest solutions was found
IN Ills by Graham, London clockmaker;
who is also credited with the invention of
the dead escapement for clocks and the hori-
zontal or cylinder escapement for watches.
Graham used glass vessel about two thirds
full of mercury in place of the usual weight,
or @bob.' When the rod would expand be-
cause of a rise in temperature the bob would
of course be farther removed from the cen
ter about which the pendulum swung; but
while the rod was expanding downward the
mercury was expanding upward, and the
amount of mercury was so proportional
that its expansion exactly compensated that
of the rod, and the center of oscillation re-
manned the same. Just the reverse would
occur when the temperature fell. This
form is known as the mercurial pendulum.
1t was later improved by the late E. ].
Dent. He replaced the glass mercury jar
with one of cast iron, into the top of which
way the mercury, rod, and jar acquired the
new temperature, in case of change, more
simultaneously.
Another form on much the same principle
is the gridiron pendulum. The earlier
