Flour Used in Making Watches.

Two barrels of flour are used every
week in making watches at a we'll
known factory. which turns out from
1000 to 1900 watches week. Since
a baker uses about three pounds OF
-four to five loaves Of bread, it follows
that for every watch the maker uses
the equivalent of third of a loaf. The
-four is made into dough and the
dough is used to handle screws, rivets
and other small parts.
Each man in that part Of the busi-
ness has lump Of dough always at
hand. and when he wants to examine a
screw he jabs a piece Of dough on 1t.
Then, turning 1t orer, he has a good
chance to look at it with his watch
makers microscopic eyeglass. Many
of the screws are too minute to pick up
easily with the fingers, and many
more, though large enough to be
picked up, would be 30 covered by the
myers or the forcers as to be almost
hidden from sight.

DISPUTE ORIGIN OF CALICHE
Scientists Disagree az to How ROCK
Of Which Chile Has Monopoly,
Came About.

Chile's chief source Of revenue, or
which the country has virtually
world monopoly, is obtained from the
rough rock known locally as caliche.
Scientists disagree as to the origin OF
this valuable mineral, according to
writer in the National Geographic
Magazine. Some claim (and Darwin
among them) that it had its origin in
seaweed of an ancient period. One
savant argues that the deposit result
ed from nitrogen contained in guano.
Others believe In its atmospheric
origin, advancing the theory that In
remote age electricity passing through
the moist air, by combination, formed
nitric acid; this In turn, impregnating
the flood waters Of Andean streams
and coming in contact with the lime
stone of the rocks, formed nitrate OF
lime; another step in natures labora-
tory brought this nitrate of lime In
contact with sulphate of soda, forming
the caliche found today.
Iodine, precipitated from the nitrate
solution, is the most important by-prod'
uct of the caliche rock. BY agree
ment among the nitrate establishments
its production is limited to every
sixth year, that the market may not
be overstOcked.

EXPLAINING GRADES IN ARMY
FancifuI and Pretty Ta'e Of the Origin
Of Insignia Which Denote
Martial Rank.

Fanciful indeed is the tale woven
about the selection and origin of the
various marks of army insignia.
The story begins with a two-barred
fence, near group of trees. One or
these is sturdy oak and another a
silver poplar, the tree which grows
to greatest heights In our forests.
Above this tree flies an American
eagle. II is night and the stars look
down upon the scene.
The first step, or first rank Of a COM
missioned officer Is climbing the first
bar Of the fence, and Is denoted by
the one bar on a first lieutenants
shoulder. Another step up and the
officer has his foot on the second bar
of the fence-the two bars surmounted
being indicated by the two-bar mark
Of the captain. The next stage of the
climb upward Is the branches of the
trees, and the rank Of major, denoted
by the gold oak leaf on the shoulder,
has been reached.
In order to 60 higher the candidate
for higher rank must now surmount
the tall silver poplar, and when he has
done so he is entitled to wear the sill
yer leaf of the lieutenant colonel. The
eagle soaring over the treetops indi-
Gates the rank Of colonel-the silver
eagle being worn by officers of that
rank. The stars are the highest of all
and were reserved as insignia for gen.
erals.-Detroit News.

In some common woods, notably the
oaks, a figure is produced by quarter
saving, says the American Forestry
Magazine. In practically all woods
there are ribbons Of tissue which run
at right angles to the axis OF the tree
like spokes in q wheel. These are the
rays. often called medullary, or pith
rays, because some Of them appear as
extensions of the pith into the wood.
In all the conifers and most hard
woods these rays are too fine to show
distinctly. In others, as In maple,
cherry and mahogany, they are dis
tinct, but not conspicuous.

Essen's Sudden Rise.
Boom" towns of mushroom growth
are not peculiar to America, as the
startling rise Of Essen proves. Though
founded away back in the Ninth CEN
fury, 1t slumbered along for hundreds
of years, an obscure, unimportant ham,
let. Even as late as 1850 1t had hard
ly more than 10000 people. Then the
Krupp boom-the rise Of the greatest
machine shop the world has ever seen
struck it, and today the city houses
half a million.
Set In the heart of the coal fields,
crowded with endless industrial plants
whose tall chimneys belch eternal
smoke and fumes, the great workshop
fairly throbs with power and energy.
| The roar and rattle Of ceaseless wheels
and the din of giant hammers pound
ing on metal seem to keep the whole
town atremble.
Here every form Of iron and steel
article Is made, from boys skates to
| giant marine engine shafts. Curious
ly enough, even some Of the smoke,
or the fumes from the smokestacks,
is caught and converted into gas
that furnishes more power to run the
mills!
More than a hundred years ago the
first Krupp set up his small, crude
shop and began to make by hand the
tools the drills and chisels, used by
tanners, blacksmiths and carpenters
along the Ruhr and the Rhine. He al
so made dies for use in the mint Of
the government. Within 80 years, due
to the old ambition for expansion,
Krupp tools were known and used as
far away as Greece and India.
Then came the great era Of mass
production In steam engines, hammers,
steel tires for railway cars, cast-steel
shafts for river and ocean steamers,
and finally that astonishing output of
guns and armor plate which brought
the militaristic nations Of the world
to buy at Essen.
The daily roar Of artillery at the
proving grounds, where each new gun
was tested, added to the din of
whistles, rushing trains, and rattling
gears, made pre-war Ruhr probably
| ha Il .
enough now, but the great guns are
silent; Krupp makes them no more
The big lathes that once made guns
for every nation, from Chile to China
now turn out shafting for marine and
other engines. Box cars for Belgium
car wheels for South America, and
whole tram-line systems for the Dutch
East Indies were some Of the orders
being filled a few months ago.
