Will Run Witches of World.

An astute French mathematician
has found that in certain watches the
motions exceed 200, 100000 year in
little equal jumps In the same time
the outside of the average balance
travels $500 miles, Yet deTpite this
astonishing distance travelled by the
ordinary watch, the amount OF power
consumed is trifllng, states the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. One horsepow-
er is sufficient to run 10000, 900
watches. This is probably all the
watches that are in existence. But if
there should be more, there would be
enough power left in the one horse
power to run an additional thousand
watches or so.
