WHY HER WATCH GOES WRONG j OAK GROVE
Various Causes Given for Undoubted OAK GROVE, March 28. Mr. King
Fact That Woman's Timepiece Is j of the Heights Land Co. of Port
Generally Incorrect j land will shortly begin the erection of
Punctuality is said to be the virtue
of kings, but not of women. The lat
ter will not, however, admit their lack
of it. But when a lady has kept a
mere man waiting for her an Indefi
nitely long time her excuse, cynics de
clare, is really at hand : "My watch
must be wrong." Am-, strange to say,
this reason given as an excuse, differ
ent from other exeuses, is almost "al
ways valid. The watches of women
are much less exact than those f
men.
An Englishman, Herbert Duke, who
occupied himself with this problem in
profound speculations, thinks he has
traced it to its source. He has ob
served that the same watch, when
worn by his wife, runs very irregu
larly, whereas 'when worn by him It
is perfectly correct. "Now, how . Is
It," he asks, "that so many women
have such a baleful influence on
watches'?"
Certainly much is due to the tact
that to women the watch is a less
necessary tool of life than a beautiful
adornment ; that they care more for
Its looking elegant on the wrist than
for its being right; that they handle
carelessly and inconsiderately this deli
cate apparatus.
But there must be another more po
tent cause. It has been observed that
the electricity contained in the .human
body exerts adirect influence on the
delicate mechanism of the watch. It
may be that the small form of a wom
an's watch renders it veiy sensitive
to the electro-magnetic influence that
emanates from the body.
SNAKES HAVE LARGE 'LITTERS'
Boa Constrictor, in Captivity, Gave
Birth to Sixty-Four Living Young
Others Prolific.
The sixteen-foot Trinidad anaconda,
or water boa, at the London Zoologic
al gardens, not long ago gave birth to
twenty-four young pnes. The new
born snakes were twenty-six inches
long and about an Inch in diameter
at the thickest part of the body.
In color and marking they resembled
the adults that Is, they were of a
dark greenish hue with black spots.
That number of young had been ex
ceeded by a seventeen-foot snake at
the New York Zoological park, which
produced thirty-four young. Still an
other anaconda has been known to
produce thirty-seven at a birth, and a
large specimen of boa constrictor gave
birth to sixty-four living young. The
pythons differ from the boas in that
they lay eggs and coil around a heap
of them until they hatch. An official
of the New York Zoo says that the
pythons produce from fifty to a hun
dred eggs at a time, and a specimen
of python reticulatus deposited sixty
eggs, about which she coiled, and from
which she fought off all intruders, but
her efforts proved of no avail, for the
eggs were infertile.
