Soma Thin 1 About It That Are Not Gen erally Known. Open your watch a-id look ct the lit tio whex-ls, spriLgs cad srrews, each aa inrlisixiisahlo part of the w hole won derful marhiae. Notice the busy little balance wteci as it flit!s to and fro on ceasicgly, day and night, year in ai.d vear out. This wonderful little machine is the result of hundreds of years cf stmiy and experiment. The watch carried by the average man is composed ef Vi pieces, and its manufacture embrace more than 2,000 distinct and purate opi-ralious. Some of the smallest screws are so minute that the unaided cye-s cannot distinguish tlie:a from stt-tl filings cr specks of dirt. Uadera powerful magnifying glass a perfect screw is revealed. The slit ia tho. bund is 2-100 of an inch wide. It takes 31A000 of these screws to weigh a jx.und and a pound is worth f!,0Sa. The hairsprLig is a strip of tho finest stl, about U'j inches lung, 1-100 inch w iile, 27-10,000 inch thick. It is coiled up iu spiral f orm and finely tempered. The process of tempering these springs was long hell as a secret ly the few for tunate ones possessing it, and even now is not generally known. Their manu facture requires great skill and care. The strip is gauged to 20-1 00 of an inch, but no measuring instramtait has as yet been devised capable of fine enough gauging to determine beforehand by the size of the strip what ths strength of the CuLsaed spring will be. A 20-1,000 pjrt of an inch difference in the thick ness of the strip makes a difference in the running .f a watch cf about six ininute-d per Lour. Tho value of these Fpriugs when fin ished and placed in watches is enormous in proportion to the material from which they are made. A comparison will givo a good idea. A ton cf steel male up into hairsprings when in watches is worth more than 13 timers the value of the same weight in pure gold. Hairspring wire weighs 1-20 of a gram to the inch. One mile of wire weighs les than half a pound. The balance gives fi vo vibrations every Se-coud, iiOO every minute, 13,000 every hour, i Z2,0M) every day and 15i,Cb0, OcK) every year. At each vibration it rotates abDut 1 J4 tinitss, which makes 1'jT, loO.OOO revolotious every year. Take, for illustration, a locomotive with 6 foot driving wheels. Let its wheels be run until they have given tho same number of revolutions that a watch d ics in one year, and they will have covered a distance equal to 2$ complete circuits cf the earth. All this a watch does without other attention than winding onco every 24 hours. Jewelers' lieview. 2,50O Job bad No Tears to Shed. John P.
