In .tinny Curions Shapes.
Since timepieces have come within the
reach of everybody and watches are
made large enough for blcjcle bars and
small enough for a lady's ring. It is
curiously Interesting to recall some of
tho old-fashioned ones that served our
ancestors so well generations ago.
Even today some of us have caught a
glimpse of the portly old gentleman
whom Dickens loved to picture, with
his ornate seals, wide guard and enor
mous watch that filled to bursting the
capacious fob that was Its resting
place, but like many other cumbersome
fashions these respectable timepieces
are Interesting now only ns curios.
Long before our time or that of our
grandfathers, watches were mado In
such fantastic fashion that It Is a mar
vel that their owners managed to carry
them about.
No one seems to know the exact date
of tho first timepiece, but the middle
of the fifteenth century seems to have
been the period when "portable clocks"
began to appear. In the different col
lections of antiquaries there are a few
specimens of the "Nuremburg Eggs,"
or watches made In oval shapes and
coming from the town after which they
were named.
In the possession of Lady Fitzgerald,
of England, there was one watch which
was shaped like an pagle, which had a
small boy on its back. This odd orna
ment was made to hint at the story of
Jupiter and Ganymede. Tho breast of
the bird opened to show the dial be
neath It, and the works wore most elab
orately ornamented. When the fair
owner of this treasure did not wish to
wear It on her girdle she could stand
It on her table.
Gold and silversmiths seem to have
left their fancy run riot during the six
teenth century and watches made In
the form of ducks, acorns, of cockle
shells and of nil possible things made
their appearance. Most of them struck
the hour, and ono notablo Invention
fired a diminutive pistol at certain In
tervals. When Henry II. of France fell In love
with Diana of Poitiers (about 1547) she
was a widow nnd wore mourning. Of
course that offoied an opportunity to
the extiavagant coui tiers of the daj,
and the result was that nil tho orna
ments nt court weio fashioned after
such gruesome Ideas that the ildlcu-

lous was close upon the sublime, to say
tho lenst. Rings were formed llko
skeletons, tiny coffins of gold wero
worn as oinaments and they contained
enameled figures of death, but the most
striking products of the hour wero tho
watches, which dangled fiom fair
ladles' belts and which represented
grinning skulls, tho tops of which lifted
to disclose the dial plate Of couiso
the eyes were brilliant jewels and small
fortunes were spent In the elaborate
ornamentation of these funeral trink
ets. But the watches', the trinkets and
the people who wore them have all
passed away, and since 1620, or there
abouts, the Hat oval or round time
piece has been the general favorite.
Time does not go so fantastically
with us ns It did with thoso untutored
geniuses of eailler times, and perhaps
our plain substantial watches tell as
much of our character as did thoso
bizarre Inventions of earlier days about
the men and women who wore them.
Cnpuclly of Nlngnrn.
From tho Times-Herald.
If tho falls were situated in tho center
of a city of manufacturing plants CO miles
square, and thero was a factory upon
each aero of land within Its limits, and
each consumed 1,000 horse power, thero
would only bo used 1 GOO 000 horse povvar,
or a tlttlo moro than one-tenth of the
probable energy of this great water
power. If tho slzo of our city wero in
creased from DO to 100 miles square all
tho other conditions remaining tho sarno
Its factories would consume 6,400,000
horso power, which Is no doubt a. mod
erate estimate of the energy exerted by
tho Falls of Niagara. When wo toko
Into consideration that ono aero of
ground Is a small allotment for the aver
ago manufacturing plant and that 1.000
horse power Is perhaps qulto a liberal
allowance for each cstabllshmi'iit, wo can
get some conception of the possibilities of
Niagara Palls as a great power plant.
Of course all the cnerg exerted by tho
fall of wutcr cannot be utilized as work,
as thero Is nlwajs a Ioim in transformi
tlon But If the falls represent an energy
of 8,000,000 to 10 000 000 horso power, vo
have a liberal margin left for losses iif
all kinds.
