THE DAYS AND HOURS
ORIGIN OF OUR SYSTEM OF THE
DIVISION OF TIME.

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

ANCIENT SEA WALLS.

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.''—

MINOR MATTERS 1
(IF INTEREST
County Commissioner George M j
Leighow is a reliable public official J
and a capable man of affairs. 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.

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra

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.
