Thousands of Main-Spring Breaking When the Aurora Borealis Appears. "Decidedly watches are queer things,,, said D. H. Hopkinson of the - Jewelers' Circular, seated in the easy -chair of his editorial sanctuary. "They possess some unaccountable peculiarities. For instance, some time about the beginning of last sum mer, -when there had been a suc-'i cession of fine displays of the aurora borealis, it was estimated that in a singlfe night in the city of New York the main springs of not less than three thousand watches broke. This estimate is based on actual inquiries. Fine sensitive watches are particu larly liable to be affected by electrical atmospherio disturbances. During the months of June, July and August, jvhen these phenomena are most re "quent,'there are more main springs .broken than during all the remaining months of the year. They break in a -variety of ways, sometimes snapping into as many as twenty-seven pieces. "It is a fact that since the intro duction of the electric light has be come m so general a large number of watoties, some of them mighty fine ones, have become magnetized. "While in this condition they are useless as time-keepers. This defect should be considered incurable, and because of ft thousands of watches have been thrown away after much money had been spent on them in vain attempts to persuade them to keep good time. Among the methods resorted to were gashing the parts in garlic juice, re finishing and passing them through fhe fire. But all these devices were entire failures or only in part effec tive. I know of a man who had a fine and valuable movement which kept excellent time. He transferred it from a silver case to a second-hand gold one. Immediately it lost all its characteristics of steadiness and reli ability, and, in fact, did not keep time at all. "When replaced in the silver case it kept good time again. The owner, a jeweler, puzzled himself, and experimented in vain to discover the cause of this strange partiality on the part on the part of his watch for silver. At length he sent it to an ex pert He discovered that the lifting spring of the gold case had become magnetized. On substituting another for it, the watch kept as good time in the gold case as in the silver case. 'There are occasions when it is u very serious matter to have your watch magnetized. The most striking instance in point is one which lately came under my notice. Captain W. E. Smith commands thr steamer Dela ware, which plies between New York and New London, Before putting to sea on a recent voyage he was invited to inspect an electric light dynamo machine and examined its parts closely. Soon after getting on board the steamer he observed that the com pass became strangely affected when he approached it. "Whether he stood otfthe right or the left, or 'immedi ately in front of the compass, the nee dle would invariably point to him. The compass was worse than useless when he came near it It was danger ous and might wreck the ship. You can imagine that this phenomenon alarmed and puzzled Captain Smith not tf little. At length he recalled his visit to the dynamo machine and the true solution of the eccentric behav ior of the needle flashed upon him. His watch had become magnetized. "When he removed it the needle re sumed its constancy to the polar star. On his return to the city he took the wjitch to Mathey Brothers & Mathey, who demagnetized it for him. This firm has invented some machine, the mechanism of which is secret, by which they demagnetize a magnetized watch speedily and effectually. They get watches sent them from all parts of ithe world to be thus treated. ..""Watches frequently get magnet ized in iron mines or in machine shops, where they are incautiously brought near swiftly-running belts, I know -a workman who used to hang his watch between flie parts of a run ning belt He expended a small for tune on mainsprings. "It is a well-known fact among hbrologist that no watch will keep ifie same time with two people. The cause has not yet been definitely as certained, but it would seem that in some mysterious way a watch is affected by the temperament of the wearer. The mere physical differ ences in gait and movement between different people is not sufficient to account for all the variations that have been observed." Old Times. When we were writing our item about poultry this week we remem bered a fact that we were witness to in Portland in the fall of 1850. Two old sea captains, Northup and Sim mpnds, kept a general merchandise tora on Front street, where the St Charles hotel is now. One day Capt Northup had a customer, a farmers wife, who came in from Tualitan " Plains with butter and eggs. He al lowed her 90 cents a dozen Xor the eggs and 75 cents a pound for her butter, and then showed her calico at ' 25-cents a yard, as she was to take trade for her Tiutter and eggs. The good lady was horrified; she had left ithe States two years before and re nfipmbered prices there. She said: Why.Mr. Northup, I have bought better palico than that for eight cents 3yard in th.e States." So it was with .everything ehe looked at, until the jold sailor's patience gave out and he said: "Madame, Pve allowed you 90 .cents a dozen for eggs and Tve bought better eggs and bigger eggs than yours, lots of times, for five cents fl'dozen. I have allowed you 75 cents for butter, and I have bought a great deal better butter many a time for 10 rfhts a pound. Now, as you are hard to; suit, I decline to have anything more to do with it" And the old gfcfctlemanent and sat down by the ""stove and took up a newspaper a states newspaper, for the Oregoniun fsn'fc started then. The farmer's if saw the absurdity of the thing SNiii 4V6 up her complaints with full Motogy'tothet unreasonableness and in tridiag was finished in harmony. -Willamette Farjner. An Eccentric 3Iaine ilan Who Made Rhyme. There used to be considerable lum ber business done on Merrymeeting bay, and. there lived a noted charac ter on the bay shore, named say Johnny Jones, who was noted for the handy way in which he could make a rhyme He used to steal logs from a certain man, who was justice of the peace, and cut them up into shingles. His arrest was caused and he was convicted, and bail was wanted for his appearance at a higher court, but he coulun t get it, so lie appealed to the justice to go his bail. "If you will make me a rhyme I will," said the justice. He agreed to, but said he must make it from his boat So he got into the boat and took up his paddle. "Now, Johnny, for the rhyme," said the justice, who was afraid he might deceive him. But Johnny was true to his promise and gave him this ene: "As true as I am in this boat, and you are on the shore, I have stole forty logs from you and I'll steal forty more;" and away he went They used to elect hogreeves at a town meeting, officers whose business it was to impound stray hogs; they also acted as fence viewers. "Well, they elected a fellow named Doughtry, whom old Johnny didn't like. As soon as they voted Johnny got up and got off the follewing: "It ap pears very strange to my weak brains, that men should bo possessed, to pass a vote to choose a shoat to govern all the rest" A professor at Bowdon, it is said, gave him a suit of clothes for that rhyme. Johnny picked up a canoe one day on the bay and put it in his boom. A man named Hunter of Topsham heard of the find and declared ho was going down to get the canoe, although it was not his. Johnny heard of it and was on the lookeTut for the enemy's approiflHi. It was on a bright moon light night that Hunter started out to fulfill his oath. He unlocked the boom and proceeded to the canoe and stepped into it Just at that moment Johnny stepped out from some birches that grow by the shore, gun in hand, and sioke as follews: "If you get that I'll pawn my hat I stand not to dispute you. I have got both powder and good shot, and I swear by gad I'll shoot you." The canoe was not taken. Bath Times. Catching Cold. There are almost as many theories about the nostrums for "a cold" as there are individuals. Everyone is familiar with the general prescrip tion,"Feed a cold and starve a fever." This is not now observed as it was formerly, but there are many still left who live up to it In the January number of the Pop ular Science Monthly, Dr. C.E. Page advances a theory, which if not en tirely new has been substantiated by his own experience and experiments in a novel and somewhat startling manner. Instead of "feeding" a cold he would starve it. Personally, ho says, he was from infancy up, and for many years, subject to all the various forms of cold. At last he chose a frugal diet, chiefly cereals or fruit, and lived on two meals a day, skip ping a meal when symptoms of indi gestion appeared. Since adopting this plan ho has not suffered from colds. On the contrary, he has purposely exposed himself to test its efficacy, wearing, as he says, low shoes and walking in snow and slop until both socks and shoes were saturated, sit ting an hour in that condition and going to bed without warming his feet; removing flannel undergarments in mid winter on tho approach of colder weather; going without an overcoat; sitting with a current of air blowing directly on his head and shoulders; sitting entirely naked in a draught on a very cold, damp night in the fall, for fifteen minutes before going to bed; risitfg from bed on a cold, rainy morning, and sitting naked for an hour writ ing, and then putting on shirt and trousers only, the shirt almost satur ated with rain and the trousers quite damp by hanging by the window these and similar experiments have been tried without catching cold. His theory is that cold is a "filth dis ease," arising largely from indiges tion, and is, as we "know, often the beginning of other diseases, such as fever. The doctor's prescription can be tried without his experiments. The former certainly will do no harm, and in the majority of cases it will do good. People suffer more from over eating than from eating too little. He also, very properly, insists upon plenty of fresh air. These colds aro contracted from living in closely seated rooms and breathing impure air more than from exposure to cold and wet. Ventilation of living rooms is essential to health. i "Why Diyobck is so Common To Day. This generation sees divorce more frequent, not because men and women are more -wicked, but because married life is made more difficult by tho excitement and complexity and manifold strains of modern life, which render unhappy marriages more unendurable. A. broad gap opens between the hot present and the dull quiet of other days, when tho husband passed his day in a steady and continuous round of work when no avenue in life but marriage opened before most women, and both men and women passed lives from which excitement, worry, and the anxious rush of this day were absent Any candid man who will reconstruct the life of sixty or eighty years ago will be convinced that, while that day had in it much of secret wioked ness, as court and church records show, it had also conditions much less likely to prevent two people from leading quiet, uneventful and reasonr ably happy lives together.
