yeuels in Watches

Watches do not have even numbers
of jewels. If a watch has % jewels,
then the going band or center wheel
and third wheel, the fourth wheel the
escape wheel, the lever and the bal
ance have whole jewel at each arbor,
which make IA. The balance, the lever
and the escape wheel have end stones
as well, which make 6 more. Then
there are jewels in the escapement,
which make %. If the movement has
21 jewels, then the hole jewels of the
going barrel have been omitted. If 10,

TraMc-Blocking Islands

Floating islands are formed by the
accumulations of soil and grasses that
push their way over the normal shore
line of streams and oceans. These
floating masses are lifted at high tide
and will break away If the pull is
strong enough. In less than 40 years
one of the travelling islands, or "rafts,"
as they are known. grew in size until
1t was 10 miles long. 600 feet wide and
8 feet thick, blocking the lower area
Of the Mississippi. Four years Of Ia
Dor were required to remove 1t.

Color Highly Important

Man has apparently become careless
about one of the most important items
in his environment-color. AS soon
as he realizes fully the inhibitive and
repressive influence of drab, uninter-
esting color surroundings. the vistas
about will be Immediately trans
formed. Man has always conquered
or changed conditions unfavorable to
his best development. There is no
reason to believe that he will not rise
to the present situation and reinstate
into his daily life the color which is
so important to his we'll being.-Ex-

"Sueat of Your Rrolu"

This quotation does not appear In
the Bible. The nearest thing to it is
the following found in the third chap
ter Of Genesis, nineteenth verse: I'm
the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread, till thou return unto the
ground; for out of it was thou taken"
Yet the great majority of people seem
to think that "Ye shall earn thy bread
by the sweat of the brow" is Biblical
saying. How the error got started
nobody knows. 1t may have been sug-
gested by Millions phrase, Let us go
forth and resolutely dare with sweat
of brow to toll our little day." At any
rate, it has been employed by English
writer's for $50 years.-Exchange.

Time-Sense Center

why is it that most of US beat time
whenever a lively time is played? The
reason, says the Swiss scientist Hoe
phi, is that the nerve centers which
react to the sensations Of hearing
music are located in the feet at a
point in each foot under the bend be-
tween the ankle and the toe bones.
Moreover, the nerve spots which re-
act to musical rhythm, he adds, are
in the feet, near the big toes. In the
feet also are the nerves controlling
the ability to dance rhythmically.

"Maru's" Proper Meaning

The japanese embassy says that
maru means, first, a sphere or circle,
and, secondly, perfection, entirety,
completeness. Expressive of perfec-
ton, it was formerly used as suffix
to the names of persons, sword mas
terpieces, etc.. and to ships; but at
present the last usage has become the
common one. Thus the word maru
when used in conjunction with prop
err name, may be said to designate h
ship. 1t being the most popular suffix
used In that connection.

Landmark on Old Trail

One of the early landmarks was
Pawnee rock on the Santa Fee trail,
in what is now Barton county, Kan.
This giant rock standing on the level
plain was noted spot, for the trail
ran near its base. It provided a
place of rest and safety for many a
traveller. In later years this landmark
was disappearing The Woman's Kan
sas Day club resolved to save the
historic spot and secured deed for
the rock and five acres surrounding it.
On Kansas day, 1909, the women pre-
sented this deed to the state. This
was done with the condition that the
state spend $1,000 for improvements.

Of sea water to this lake and in less

Must Haze Pulled Hard

The occupation of dentistry is not
usually rated as dangerous. Unless
patient snaps at dentist while the
latter is busy with one Of the formers
molars, and seldom does patient act
in such a way, there Is small hazard
to the profession.
Nevertheless at times accidents do
occur. A man tortured by tooth
ache called up a dentist and asked
him for help. The office attendant re-
piled that Doctor Soanso regretted
to state he would be unable to take
patients for some days to come as he
had sprained his wrist pulling a tooth.

DEATH

Fear not the Grim Reaper,
Or the terror that he brings;
just place your trust in Jesus
That takes away the sting.
He'll come in the morning, In the
evening,
Noon and night;
He'll come when day is dawning,
He'll come in broad daylight.
tt doesn't matter where we are
roaming,
Over land or on the sea;
Matters not what we are doing,
Lurking around always, Is he.
The most unwelcome visitor,
Never wanted when he calls;
But If we will only trust in Jesus,
Death is harmless, that's all.
