THE TINIEST OF WATCHES.
Mont Mlnntc Timepiece Now In Ex-,
tatuiiee.
Tho smallest wute.li In the world is
at present on exhibition in a show win
dow in Berlin. It is the latest triumph
in tho art of watchmaking the art that
has mutln such wonderful progress (
within -the last decade. j
The lilliputian timepiece was made in
Geneva, following are given some of
thu tiny dimensions: I
Tho diameter of the little watch is less1
than half an inch. The exact measure
ment is 10' millimeters, or .4137 inch. 1
Its thickness is 3 millimeters, or .US2
inch, being but little more than a tenth
of an inch. I
The length of tho minute hand is
2 4-10 millimeters, or .0945C Inch. That
of the hour hand is 1 3-10 millimeters,
or .05122 inch.
The entire works of the tiny watch
comprise 95 individual pieces, and its
exact weight is 14.3499 grains, or, ac
cording to tho metric system, 93 centi-
grammes less than a sing'e gram! j
After having been wound up with the
diminutive key the watch will run for!
2S hours. The mainspring when run
down has a circumference of .13390
inch. Its weight is 33 milligrammes, or
.5902 grain. i
The weight of the four main wheels,
with their springs, is 42 milligrammes,'
or .0408 grain. There are -13 cogs on
the little cylinder wheel, which has a,
circumference of 2 millimeters, or .07SS
ir.ch, und weighs .75 milligramme, or
.01155 grain. !
Tho balance has a circumference of
3.57 millimeters, or .140G5S inch. In I
one hour it completes 18.152 revolutions, j
traveling a distance of 9,842 feet 61
inches.
The most delicate tools and measur
ing instruments were made .specially)
for the construction of this lilliputian!
watch. The preliminary work in the
making of the timepiece was very cx-l
pensive, and the selling price of the;
watch is comparatively low, being SI,-,

I an account ol the iUiluence r.f ct'cnpa-.

the several employnipr.is of thu inali
persons between the ages of 'is nr.d Co
whose deaths were rcgtetOied during
IS90, lS'.U and 1SC2. Mombcis of the
clerical profession are easKy lirst hi
their resistance, to the in r it a which,
make fcr dissolution. The jhniso is
u&cd to denote the Horry of the estab
lished church, Roman Cr.tliollf priests
ami tv.ir.iJlers of Other dcr.omir.atmns.
Their numbers in 1S91 timmtntc-t! tn.r.c
RQ'J, anil they died at every age psrlnd
less rapidly thau-a::y other clr.ss ia the
community. All necessary rnrr.-t'Mirs
being made, and the genera! martr.iit;.
of males being represented by 1.000.
that of the clergy is no more than .".3.
The legal profession, as composed of
barristers and solicitors, contains little
more than half the number of- the
clergy, cr 19.978 persons, and their
death rate was greatly larger, reaching
621 as against 1,000 for all mn'es, anil as
against !;5;t for n!l occupied males. The
medical profession included 18,93i;
males, physicians, surgeons and gen
eral practitioners. The comparative
mortality figure for the medical men
is 900. An interesting paragraph of the
report is devoted to railway workers,
and speaks well for their steadiness nnd
sobriety. Excluding directing officials
and clerks, railway servants number
341.400. and they fall Into two main
sections, which exhibit considerable dif
ferences in respect of death rate. Up to
their 55th year drivers and stokers die
lcs rapidly than guards,, porters and
pointsmen, but after that age they die
much mere rapidly. The comparative
mortality figure for the former section
stands at S'lO. that for the latter at S25.
The mortality from alcoholism among
drivers and stokers is the same as
among the clergy, or only two,, while
among guards, porters nr.d pointsmen it
is five, which is still considerably less
than half the standard iigtire for occu
pied males. An excellent place in the
tables is held by agriculturists, includ
ing farmers nnd laborers, to as to justi
fy the belief that an active life in the
open air will lo much to neutralize the
effects of exposure to cold and wet.
The liquor trades, as might be expected,
levy an enormous toll on those who are
engaged in them; and so also do sev
eral industries which are well known
to be injurious; but it is difTicnlt to' un
derstand, unless it be as a consequence
of intemperance, why butchers &h"u.d
die in great excess of the bull: of th
population. Their comparative fbrur"
is 1,090, so that, roughly sneaking, and
in an equal number of both, two butch
ers would die to a single clergyman.
?."cxt to alcoholism as a cause of pre
mature death are placed the industries
which are carried on in foul cr in di.'st
laden air, and to -these is attributed a
great but largely preventable waste of
life. There are trades in which danger
conduces Jo high wages, and in which
those concerned have objected to any
abatement of the danger, lest it might
nbate the wages as well'. London
