POWER in RADIUM WATCH
Owner Of Radcliffe Timepiece Is Also
Possesser of Vast Power
J Plant.

The possessor Of a radcliffe watch
or. one having radium dial by which
the time can be detected at night, is
also the possessor Of a vast power
plant of no mean proportions, accord
ing to writer in the Electrical Ex-
perimenter. There is sufficient radium
ON YOUR watch to haul your train
home if it could be properly applied,
says this author.
As the matter stands. the innocent
looking radium dial does not seem to
possess any extraordinary amount Of
concentrated energy, but this is only
apparently the case, and not actually
so, for the reason that while the
amount Of activity manifested by the
radium paint on the dial is small, this
effect will keep up for $500 years,
provided the zinc sulphide, with which
the radium is mixed so as to produce
a glow, holds out that long. The zinc
sulphide in most cases gives out in
about eight to ten years.
Now. if we could but find a way to
make the radium releass2all its energy
In a few hours, instead Of spreading it
over $500 years, it would not be diff
cult to make motor that would utii-
ize this energy. -

Seeing Through Others Eyes.

We all have our natural tendency to-

Is possibility that one bias will coun-

is also possible that one bias will add
very greatly to another. Then what an
unfair verdict you must render. Poor
judgment is sure to follow and shame
will lay at your door before you dream
it possible. Yet most OF us are to more
or less extent guilty of the habit It's
so easy to take our start from where
others leave off: We are compromised

HEART REVIVED BY MASSAGE
Or. Petit of Buenos Alres Performs
Remarkable Feat on Woman Patient
Who Receivers After Long Fight.

Doctor Petit of Buenos Aires was
shocked on making. an incision in
woman's abdomen to find that no
blood flowed and that his patient was
pulseless. She had collapsed under
the chloroform. Artificial respiration
had no effect. Caffeine was injected
both under the skin and into the veins
with no result.
The surgeon then extended the in
cision he had made. inserted his hand
and took hold of the woman's heart to
massage it. He squeezed the heart
with both hands, but at first it did not
respond. All at once a powerful con-
traction was felt, followed by others.
The massage was stopped, but had to
be resumed at once. The contractions
reappeared but the massage was con-
tinued Ahd inhalations Of oxygen were
given. At last the patient was out OF
danger. y. 90
She remained unconscious for a
long time. and when she recovered
had no idea how close she had been to
passing out. Her recovery was very
slow, being complicated by violent de-
lirium, but she got well at last.

JEWELS USED IN WATCHES
Hard Substance Is Needed to With.
stand the Constant Friction Which
Wears Away Moving Parts.

The principal reason for the deter1-
grafton Of any piece Of machinery 1s
because the constant friction wears
away the moving parts and interferes
with the regularity of the mechanism.
A watch, being a machine in which
absolute uniformity Of speed is essen
tial, it is necessary to reduce this
friction to minimum-either Though
constant oiling, the use Of ball bear
inss or some very hard material which
will withstand the wear and tear Of
constant friction. The first two Of
these methods are not feasible in so
small a piece Of machinery as a
watch, so certain very hard jewels are
placed at various points to counteract
the rubbing caused by the moving
parts.
Watches are generally equipped
with Z, Is, II, Is, 81 or % jew
els, the Is and 17-jewel types being
the most popular. Intrinsically, the
jewels used in the manufacture Of
watches are of little value, but from
the standpoint of service and the spe-
cifc purpose which they serve they are
invaluable. The jewels usually used
in matchmaking are the hardest OF
the precious stones, diamonds, sap
phires and rubies, and Of these the
most generally used is the sapphire,
which combines hardness with COM
paratively reasonable price.

NATIONAL FLOWER OF FRANCE
iris, or FIeur-de-Lis Was Originally
Called the Observation-Disclosures
for Its Medicinal Purposes.

The iris, or the fleur-de-lis, is the
national flower of France. 1t was
originally called the f1eur-de-Louis.
The ancients valued it highly for me-
dicinal purposes. A powder made from
the root, mixed with honey, was used
for broken bones, and it was also con-
sidered beneficial for snake and scor-
pion bites. A valuable perfume and
oil was also obtained from the iris.
The legend as to how the flower re-
ceived its name goes back to the
Greeks. Iris was the messenger Of
the gods, and the rainbow was dedi-
Gated to her. On her birthday, Juno
invited all the flowers to celebrate
the occasion. They all came in
their prettiest frocks. Among them
were three sisters, gorgeously
dressed in gowns Of purple, yellow and
red, and who were unknown. Since
they had no name, they were called
Iris, because their gowns were the
color Of the rainbow.
: Since Iris was the messenger Of the
gods, and conducted the souls of dead
women to their final resting place, the
Greeks decorated the graves Of their
women with purple iris.
This flower was widely used in old
Egyptian architecture. It signified
power and eloquence to the Egyptians,
and was, therefore, carved on the brow
Of the Sphinx, and upon the scepters
Of their kings.
