Animal Life Under Desert

There is animal life 200 and 300
feet beneath the burning sands of the
Sahara desert. This amazing discov-
cry has been made through expert
ments Of sinking arteslan wells at
various points. Waters drawn from
the great depths were found to con-
tain small crabs, fish and shell-fish,
all. alive Usually 1t has been possible
to explain the presence Of fish In I'M
derground waters in the fact that they
were locked up during some primeval
cataclysm. Those found underneath
the Sahara belong to a species in
habiting the lakes of Palestine. Shafts
sunk during the last few years in the
Sahara prove there are large sheets of
water everywhere. Animals found
now cause the belief there is vast
underground sea, densely inhabited.

Watch Responds to
the Personal Touch

OF all mechanical devices we use.
watch comes nearest to having life,
senses and feeling. 1t reacts to cold
and heat, dampness and dry air, recog-
nizes good treatment from bad in fact,
1t Is as sensitive to the way 1t Is cared
for as pet dog would be, says Popu7
lar Science Monthly. A watch even
has temperament that 1t acquires rap
idly according to the temperament of
Its wearer. If two persons were to
exchange watches that had been keep
ing perfect time, the watches would
proceed to get out of order quickly.
A watch Is the most delicate and
complex mechanism of daily use. 1t
has 211 parts, some so small that they
are Just about visible to the unaided
eye. A break of maladjustment of any
of these parts is sufficient to mar its
utility as a timepiece. To make a
watch requires about 1000 distinct
operations. involving years work,
Part of the mechanism strikes $4,000
600 blows a year, while the balance
wheel revolves a distance of 4,S00
miles. No other piece of machinery
known is subjected to such use. Yet
good wasch will keep perfect time
through two or three generations.
Once your watch has been regulated
to fit your gait, 1t will require very
little attention 1t should be oiled once
year, protected from dust, dampness
and sudden jolts, and wound every "a
hours at exactly the same time to the
minute. With this slight amount of
care even cheap watch should last
for years.

Early Locomotive Did
Not Operate in Rain

Nearly all the great inventions and
discoveries which have made modern
life so wonderful and at the same time
SO strenuous have been produced with
in the last century. A huge step for
ward was made, something about a
century ago, when the steam engine
was adapted to haul trains of wagons"
on railroads. A copy of the Philadel-
phia Chronicle Of that period con-
tains this unique advertisement: No
ticeThe locomotive engine Quilt by
Mr.. w. Baldwin of this city, will de-
part daily when weather is fair with
a train of passengers; on rainy days
horses will be attached" This en-
CINE. .'built by Mr.. Baldwin," was the
beginning Of the great Baldwin loco
motive works, which is now one of
the biggest things of the kind in the
world. Mr.. Baldwin made the aston
fishing boast that his original engine
would draw 80 tons on a level road"
Now single freight car will hold
twice that much.

To Mine for Bullets
in Old Shooting Park

Perhaps the oldest mine in America
Is operated in shooting park on the
outskirts Of one of our large cities.
Millions of leaden pellets that have
been discharged from guns in this park
during the last 20 years are being re-
covered. For dozen years or more
nine or ten gun clubs have used the
park and it is estimated that during
that time the contents of four or five
million shells have been discharged at
clay pigeons in the Enclosure. The
guns are gagged to carry about $50
yards to the shore line of the river, on
the banks of which the mining ma
chinery has been set up.
The soil on the banks of this river
is literally filed with the bullets that
have fallen here during the last 90
years. Several tons of lead are said
to have settled in the soft earth on the
river bank Allowing for shrinkage
of - per cent, it is believed that there
are from sixty to seventy-five tons of
lead which may be recovered. Pig lead
can be sold at a price per ton which
will yield a handsome profit
The lead is taken from the soil by
the process of placer mining. The
outfit for this work consists of gaso-
line engine, pumphouse, force pump
and wooden troughs into which the,
bulet-incrusted earth is thrown. The
lead is separated from the soil by
means of running water.

Push Clouds Aside

The tabled performances of the old
woman of the nursery rhyme who was
able to sweep the cobwebs out of the
sky has a scientific parallel in the
ability of aviators under some con-
ditions to brush small clouds out of
the sky by repeatedly flying through
them. A fair-sized summer cumulus
or fair weather cloud may sometimes
be obliterated by about twenty flights
through it. While there is no ade-
quate explanation for this effect, 1t Is
thought to be due to combination of
the stirring effect of the plane and
especially of the propeller, the carry
ing into the cloud of warmer, unsatu-
rated air, and the warming of the air
in the cloud by the compression effect
of the swiftly-moving plane. The
method works only when the clouds
are about stationary In size, and fails
when conditions are such that they
are growing rapidly.
