MONTOUR AMERICAN| FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. I Danville, Pa., Jan. 4 1906. THE DAYS AND HOURS ORIGIN OF OUR SYSTEM OF THE DIVISION OF TIME. II Wa> DrvUrd br Iht Babylonlana, Who \\<Tr ■ Very Clever I'eople, Mll, Adopted by Ike <»reek« and Haa Survived Throoith All ChHngft. If you pull your watch out of jour pocket you will have iu your hand one of the most wonderful pieces of ma chinery ever eoustructed. Think, how it works throughout the day and night aud how it keeps it up year In. year out. Think how the second hand poiuts to 3.00U divisions of time during every Lour. It never sleeps. If it is like the average watch, it will be built up of no fewer than 175 differ ent pieces. These pieces will ha\e passed through more than 2,400 sep unite operations, each being a distinct form of manufacture. The fourth jewel wheel screw is »o very small that It is almost invisible. To the naked eye it appears to be but a speck of dust. When examined u*der a magnifying glass It will be seen to be a perfect screw, having '260 threads to the inch, each thread being well cf.t. Actually the diameter of this screw is so little as the four one thou sandth part of au inch, and it would take no less a number than 1(10,000 similar screws In order to fill an or dlnary thimble as used by the ladies Kach screw has a double head and has to be hardened. After the harden ing process the screws are arranged iu frames, being placed in with the heads upward. This delicate operation is done by the sense of touch alone in stead of by sight, and great rapidity marks the skillful operator. Some where about a hundred screws are placed In each frame, and the frames •re attached to a machine which pol ishes the hands of the screws 10,000 at a time. It will be seen how marvelous these screws are. yet one of them forms but one tiny piece of a watch. Still, this will show the remarkable nature of that everyday article. When special watches ■re considered there is indeed room for wonder. For Instance, take the watch which was presented to Catherine I.on her coronation as empress of Russia. This watch was one of the most remarkably constructed instruments ever made. •On the opposite side of the works of this extraordinary timekeeper there was au exact representation of the holy sepulcher, with a carved image of the Roman guard stationed outside It. As soon as the watch case was opened the imitation rocks would roll tway from the month of the sepulcher, the soldier would kneel, angels would appear at opposite sides of the opening, and sweet strains of music would be heard. This remarkable watch took nine years' uninterrupted labor in or der to construct. The first clock iu any way resem bling those In use at present was made by Henry Yick In the year l.'tTO. and it was made for Charles Y. of France. This monarch was surnamed the Wise, but his education was imperfect iu many respects, and he knew it well, j As a result be was very obstinate In his claim to know everything He showed this obstinacy when Yick brought the new timepiece for his ap proval. The king could not find any fault with its working, so he criticised the figures on the dial. He told the maker that he had made a grievous error, as the figures to de uote the hour of 4 should be four I's. j Poor Yick ventured to tell the king that he was wrong. "I am never wrong!" thundered the irate monarch, j "Take the clock away and correct the mistake at once upon pain of my dis pleasure!" Yick had to do as he was told, with the result that all our timepieces have the fourth hour labeled 1111 instead of IV, as should be the case if the correct numeration were followed. How many people have the slightest notion why sixty seconds make a min ute and why the hour is divided into sixty minutes, and so on? Why are there not ten hours to the day and ten to the night? The reason is very simple. It Is be cause the people of Babylon reckoned not ouly by a decimal system of nota tion. but also by a sexagesimal sys tem. That is to say, they not ouly reckoned by tens, but also by sixties. The Babylonians were very clever peo ple, and they saw that the decimal sys tem was by no means the l>est. They knew that 110 number had so many divisors as has sixty. How about the division of the day Into hours? The Babylonians began by comparing the progress made by the •un on its daily journey to the distance covered by a good walker, this being done at the time of the equinox. The astronomers divided the sun's Journey Into twenty-four parsangs, whence our hours The Rabylonian system was adopted by the Greeks. It i« one of the most remarkable facts of history that the system has survived through every change made siu« e the days of Baby lonia. When the the French revolu tionized all weights and measures, go Ing so far as to alter the days of thfc week, still they left the old system of notation so far as regarded the reckon Ing of the flight of time. F.ven our own lovers of the decimal notation do not suggest that the old sexagesimal meth od of reckoning time should be altered —Pearson's Weekly. Conrifnnfil.

Paniohiisent Tlml Wan InHleted (m Nesclecflns Their Hepulr. VY. H Wheeler in his "History of the I Fens of South Lincolnshire" quotes I Harrison saying, in his preface to Uolin.shed's 1 hronicle." tli.vt "such as. having walls ur banks near unto the sea. d.> suffer the same to decay, after convenient admonition, whereby the water entereth and drowneth up the country, are by a certain ancient custom apprehended, condemned and staked in the breach, where they re maiu forever a parcel of the new wall that is to be made upon them, as 1 have heard reported." —P. 40. Harrison, so far as I am at present able to make out, is the earliest au thority for this, and lie only speaks of it as a report. 111 a paper by the Rev. F. C. J. Spur rell in"The Archaeologla Cantlana" re lating (o Dart ford. I find the following, which, though it is by no means a proof of what Harrison had heard, tends to make the statement less improbable than it otherwise would be: "In early times the Roman way crossed the marsh untroubled by the tide Afterward, the tide having ad vanced further inland, the road was raised, becoming a causeway In me diaeval tin 1- 1 this hank was heighten ed against the tide, the road running inside, as at present During a section made a few years ago through this road, near Stidolph's house. l saw a human skeleton extended across the bank about two feet below the pres ent surface. Hi is is, of course, a strange situation; looking to the fact that it was a tide wall, it is pos sible that the once owner of the skele ton had the duty of repairing the bank and. hiving let the tide through by his neglo.-t. was placed In tb» - breach, thus helping to repair it while suffering punishment S. Smiles has mentioned that such a mode of dealing was a me diaeval custom However, I know not how far the ancient graveyard extend ed hereabout, so that the body, which showed no signs of burial, might yet have been hurled In sacred ground.''— London Note, ntid (Queries.

At the I same time he is uot above revealing I an interest in the little details of every day life, as is evidenced bv the fact that l'or several years past lie has kept a diary, which ranks with the j most complete record of daily events j extant. Mr. Leighow paysospecial attention j to the weather and whether rain, or ! shine the climatic conditions are care fully recorded. 111 summing up for the year just expired lie finds that be- i tween January 1, 1905 and January 1, j l'.)ot> it rained just one hundred and two times and snowed just tliirtv-nine j rime-. Mr. Leighow s diary also contains a record of deaths and funerals occur ring 111 the community; also serious accidents and the like. There is not a day that he does not fill up the allot ted space iu the dairy with information that may prove valuable in the future. la * k Mrs. George Fornwald, of Blooms burg. who has been undergoing treat ment at the Joseph Ratti Hospital for two weeks past, was reported yester day as much better. She was able to sit up audit was thought she would be able to leave the Hospital in a day or so. Mrs. Fornwald has many friends in Danville, who will be glad to learn of her improvement. * * m, The Bowling Alley is attracting big crowds nightly this week.

From each victim lie received from to He offered club rates on all the mag azines, which were away below the prices quoted by any other agency and he had little trouble in interesting patrons. He claimed to be traveling for th<? World (Tubbing Subscription Co., of New York City. The subscriptions were to have start ed in December. The month rolled around and none of the parties who had paid hint their money received their magazines. One of the condi tions of the contract was cash pay ment in advance. I Then several who had siibscrilied wrote to the supposed company the fakir'claimed to represent. They waited in vain for answer. Finally a few communicated with the New York World, which they thought might have been used iu connection with the scheme. 'The World replied saying that it had nothing whatever to do with the agent whom it denounced as a swindler. If has put thejpolice on his track. The mail of the World Clubbing Subscrip t ion',Co. has been stopped by the pos tal department. Hereafter when magazine agents come around it would lie well for those on whom they call to turn them down if advance payments are asked, or to require credentials showing that they are bona fide representatives of the publications they are canvassing for. Threatened a Cardinal. ROME, Jan. :i.—Cardinal Vincent Vaunuteli, archpriest of the Liberian 1 Basilica, received a note which was posted in Rome December ISO,threaten ing the publication of compromising letters, said to have been written by , the Cardinal, if he did not send one thousand lire ($200) addressed to the 1 initials "C. E." to be left at the jwist office until called for. The Cardinal handed the letter to the police who this morning arrested a ' well-dressed man who asked for a let ter with the initials "C. E." The prisoner, whose name is kept secret and who protests his innocence,proved that when the black-mailing letter w as posted in Rome he was iu Genoa, 1 where he landed on reaching Italy from New York.

MARRIAGE RULE FOR CATHOLICS There was considerable surprise in Catholic circles in Wilkes-Barre yes terday when the announcement was made that it would be "necessary, al most obligatory on the part of all members of that faith in the future to be married in the morning with a mass. Rev. J. J. Curran confided the in formation to the members of his con gregation, and it is thought that the rule will be generally established not only in the Scranton dioceses, but throughout the country. It is pointed nut that marriage is a sacrament,made sacred by the ties it binds, by the hearts it unites and the hundred other interests engendered. In the past there was no general custom, and the young peojde could be married in the* morning, afternoon or evening. Some months ago nearly all evening weddings were discontinued, except in'rare eases, when a valid rea son could be given.
