Pulsations of a Watch,
The lifetime of a watch Is 50 years,
says Amateur Work. In its dally du
ties the balance vibrates 18,000 times
every hour, 432,000 times a day, or
157,000,000 times a year. The hair
spring makes a similar number of vi
brations and an equal number of
ticks from the escapement. If it Is
& really good watch, multiply 157.680,
000 by 50, which gives 7,884,000,000
pulsations for 50 years. The chances
are that the watch may even then be
in serviceable condition.
Japanese incense Parties.
“Incense parties” were a common
feature of old Japan. Each of the
guests had a little furnace, a small
wooden box, packed with sand. On
the top of this was a small charcoal
fire. Each woman in turn burned
some Incense and the others bad to
guess what It was. After every burn
ing the windows were thrown Open
and the room was cleared for the next
experiment
Coal Burned by Steamshipa.
There are many ships which burn
from 100 to 300 tons of coal per day,
the lowest consumption being when
the vessel Is going at a moderate rate.
War vessels do not consume so much
in proportion as swift passenger
steamers which ply between Europe
aud America, for, unless In an emen
gency, they are not driven at the high-
senger steamers often bura from 2,600
to 3,500 tons during a passage lasting
six or seven days

We have been 50 often asked the
question “what kind of cello solo was
conecrt that we feel obliged to reply.
The cello player, Edith Adams did not
appear In Athens for some reason not
yet explained and Mrs. Ruth Ander-
son Roebr. a violinist of considerable
celebrity filled her part of the pro-
gram with violin selections. An ex-
planation should have been made and
Superintendent Rogers was very much
mortified that such an explanation
was not given. The violin artist re-
sides in New York and has gained
a high place amongst the profession-
al artists under the pame of Ruth
Anderson.
