TESTING A WATCH.
B o w K n g ll.h T im e p ie c e . A r e T r ie d as to
T h e i r R e g u la r ity .
There has been watchmaking at Cov­
entry aa long ns there has been a watch
trade in England, which is for tho last
200 years or thereabout. There nsed to
be three centers of the English trade,
these being Liverpool, Coventry and
London. NiAv there are practically hut
two—Coventry and Birmingham. Tho
test of a good watch is tlint it should
obtain a Kew certificate, and of tho
watches that go to Kew 76 per cent are
from Coventry.
A t Kew no watch has yet succeeded
in getting the 100 marks which signify
perfection, but Coventry hasoomo near­
est, with 92. and is always well to the
front. The Kow test is no light one.
The watch is tested in every position
and its rate registered, not only per day,
but per hour. It is hung by its pendant,
hung upside down, hung on each side,
placed dial down and back down and at
any number of angles, and to finish np
with is baked in an oven and frozen in
an ice pail. No wonder that a watch
with a Kew certificate is a comfort to
its owner.
When it is considered that it makes
18,000 vibrations an honr and must not
vary a second a week, while a quarter
turn of its two time screws, meaning
the millionth of an inch, w ill mako a
difference of 20 seconds a day, the deli­
cacy of its adjustment w ill be appreci­
ated, ns w ill also the risk of intrusting
Its repair to any bnt skillful hands.—
Jewelers' Review.
F le h ln g F o r T u n a , S a n ta C la ra .
The filth ranged from 4 to 0 feet in
length and from 76 to 300 pounds in
weight, judging from their size. Like
wolves they hail rushed in from the deep
sea and were moving down the coast,
stampeding a school of smelts and flying
fish and driving them out of the water,
snapping at them and following them
np into the air. Moving on, we fonud
the school of unfortunates, a brownish
patch of solid flsh in tho water, into
which the tunas were charging.
I have fished in the haunts of the tar­
pon and taken almost every game flsh
to be found in American waters, bnt
from thia exhibition of the velocity and
wonderful power of the tnna I did not
believe it coaid be captured with a 24
ounce rod or a tarpon outfit. We baited
with large smelt and began trolling
throngb the school. I sewn had a strike,
and, whilo not nnused to surprises, I
lost 800 feet of line and the tip of my
rod so quickly that I hardly realized
what had happened. My companion had
his fine rod jerked from his hands, and
I believe the flsh was of the largest size,
which nothing coaid stop.—Sportsman's

It has been generally supposed to bo a
fruitless task to attempt the renewal of
a burnt out incandescent electric lamp,
although there appears to be some eco­
nomic fallacy involved in the destruc­
tion of what is except in one small if
important particular a perfect piece of
apparatus. It is not intended, os a rule,
to give in this column descriptions of
Americun devices or achievements
drawn from foreign publications. This
subject hus, however, been taken up by
the English jouruul, Industries and
Iron, and, although it states that an
American process for renewing these
lamps after the filament has been bro­
ken has been developed, it does not give
the name of inventors nor state that the
process has come into anything like gen­
eral applieution. Its description of the
operation is therefore given for what it
is worth.
It states that a commercial success
has been mudeof a process for renewing
burned out lamps which renders possible
the use of the old bnlb at a very slight
expense. By the new method tho collar,
or b a n * nd, of tho lamp U not disturb­
ed, the old filament being removed and
the uewouo placed through a small hole
in the liunp bulb mudo by removing the
tip. The siunll hole is subsequently clos­
ed exactly in tho same manner as in the
cose of the new lamp, leaving nothing
to iudicute in the finished, repaired
lamp that it had ffi'cr been opened.
It is stated that some 400,000 lamps
havo been repaired by this method, tho
filament being inserted through the
small hole referred to by a skillful twist
of the hand uud secured in position by u
special carbon paste. The block deposit
on the inside of the bnlb is removed by
fitting the lamp to the holder and re­
moving it in u gas fnrnace, while im ­
mediately following this operation a
small glass tube is fused to the opening
made in the bnlb, through which the
lamp is exhausted. When this has been
doue and the last trace of air and gas
absorbed, a blowpipe flume is directed
upon the throat of tho tube, which is
melted into the point exactly in every
respect a counterpart of the originul
lump.—Providence Journal.
ble B begins to consider what C ought
to do for him. All charitable fairs, for
instance, are based on this principle.
Yon go and bny something which you
probably do not wont in order that the
profit made on it may go to some good
cause. In case you had really wanted
what you bought yon would have per­
haps bought it somewhere else, and the
regular trade thus suffers from the loss
of your custom. In case of very large
fairs, like the "sanitary fails” in war­
time, the ordinary local trade unques­
tionably suffers, perhaps for a whole
year, and the community is thus impov­
erished to a degree in one way so that
it may he helped in other ways.
For a great national object this can
easily ho endured, although, to he sure,
we never have known juat what the
regular dealers thought alxrat i t But
when wo consider that the same thing
is doue to some extent in behalf of every
local or sectarian enterprise, it is evi­
dent that the principle of the affair is
not quite satisfactory.
Suppose, for instance, that we were
all to ngree for a single year to havo all
our shoes and hats mudo by amateurs
“for sweet charity’s sake,” and to have
a single church or hospital take tho
valno of them nlL Then sweet charity
would make an npparent gain no doubt,
but all the ordinary hatmakers and shoe­
makers would starve. Or, if they did
not starve, they would he supported by
their kindred, who perhaps are not far
above the starvation point themselves,
dr they would bo supported by sweet
charity, »«<1 the last condition of things
would bo worse than the first It is Hot
really the fact that the evils of society
can be greatly helped by dressing up
young girls prettily and having them
take money and give rather inaccurate
change at a bazaar table. One dsy, per­
haps, when the luws of trade are better
understood, wo shall look at charity
fairs os wo nlrendy look at lotteries,
which were once regarded as one of the
highest forms of sweet charity, but
which are now prohibited by law.—
Harper's Bazar.

Tho rural south, especially in tho old­

far from progressive, and what was once
the single occupation of the southern
