Chronometers Aboard Ship.

A ships chronOmeter is the most
wonderful and accurate timekeeper
made, for upon its accuracy depend
the lives of all on board. So accurate.
indeed, is a ships chrOnometer that it
does not vary second day. An err
ror of only a few seconds may put
captain, of vessel miles out of his
reckoning at sea and. run the ship into
great danger. For that reason every
ships timepiece goes through the most
thorough tests before it is pronounced
perfect. 1t is set going in very hot
room and then transferred to cold
one, for it may be used in any part OF
the world. from the polar regions to
the tropics. and it must always keep
good time.
Most large vessels have three chro-
nometers on board in case of accident.
and whenever a vessel goes into port
they are sent on shore and tested to
see if they are still accurate. On board
ship the chronometer is kept amid
ships. because there are the least
motion and the smallest variation of
temperature.

How Japs Play Ken.

In it's most widely practiced form the
basis of the japanese game of ken is
that the fully outstretched hand signi-
fies paper, the fully closed hand a
stone. and two fingers alone extended,
the rest being closed, scissors. Each Of
the players. counting one, two. three,
throws out his hand at the moment Of
pronOuncing three. and the one whose
manual symbol is superior to that of
the others. according to the theory Of
the game, wins the trial. Superiority
is determined on the hypothesis that
whereas scissors cannot cut stone
they can cut paper and whereas paper
is cut by scissors it can wrap up a
stone-consequently scissors are infe-
rior to stone, but conquer paper: stone
is inferior to paper. but conquers scis-
sors, and paper is inferior to scissors,
but conquers stone. There are innu-
merable varieties of the game.
