Nevertheless, Gardiner seemed to
think the matter a simple one enough
and Gardeners good clothes and good

his journey.

Rifles could not recall that he had
said anything that committed him in
any way, but Gardeners tone implied
that plainly enough.

at length he extended his hand to Gar

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

The principal reason for the deteri
Grafton of any piece of machinery is
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, 1t is necessary to reduce this
friction to a mfnimum-either through
constant oiling, the use of ball bear
ings or some ~ery 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 tic moving
parts.
Watches are generally equipped
with z, Is, II, IS, 21 or % jew.
els, the Is and 17-jewel types being
the most popular. Intrfnsically, the
jewels used in the manufacture OF
watches are of little value, but from
the standpoint of service and the spe-
cific 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.

something which isn't our custom, or
we consent to do it, or we condescend
to do it, you see."
"Ah yes,' said Mrs. Glossy Ibis.
"Well," Mr.. Glossy Ibis went on, "a
number of years ago there were folks
of our family in California. There
were three hundred of US in a flock, or
rather of our family. They were seen
by little boy named Fred, and Fred
drew pictures of us as we looked when
flying, walking, and from front view
and back view.
Everyone in the family was proud
of the fact that Fred drew family
likeness and that he thought enough
of us to put us down in his sketch
book as interesting birds he had seen.
''That is one of the things which has
made the family proud. Then he also
put down a description of us which is
very true. He told how we dressed,
you know.
Eyes, he described my glossy body
which has given me this name.
"He said that all the gentlemen of
the family wore black glossy hand
some suits with bronze tinges on our
rufus or collars and our heads.
"He said that all the ladies dressed
in quieter black than the gentlemen
with little reddish tinge to the black.
"He said that the ladies always had
black bills and black legs.
"He gave our size as standing about
Is inches in height, but from the tip
of our beaks to the tip of our tails, he
said, it was about SO inches.
"And the bills he said were about
inches, the legs from to IL inches.
''He said our bodies were small but
our necks and legs long and our bills,
he said. were fine and curved.
"What he said, was perfectly true,
too, as you know.
"He also said that our feet were not
web feet, and there is so apt to be
mistake about them. Our cry he de-
scribed as being like a plover's-per-
fectly true, too!
Gle gave a description Of how we
flew, slowly, with full flaps of the
wings, and mentioned that we made a
whistling sound as we flew along.
''He said we liked to live in swamps
and that many, many of us grouped to-
gether. But he said the time he had
seen us in California, there were about
three hundred in the flock
He said we liked grain and worms
and other good food, as birds should.
"And above all, he said that we had
nice habits, pleasant ways-or at
least, we had all Of these, as far as
he knew.
"And as Fred is q fine person, it is
great compliment to think that he
bothered to find out all about us and
our ways, and just how we looked and
what We did, and that he drew pic
lures of the way our family look and
dress.
Its a great compliment" agreed
Mrs. Glossy Ibis.
