THE DAILY ASTOIUAN, ASTORIA, THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 31, 1894. MECHANISM OF A WATCH. A Wonderful Utile Mnchlno That Took Hundred, of Yeurs to Perfect. Oiien yonr wuteh and look nt the little wheels, springs iiml screws, eacli on in dispensable part of the whole wonderful machine Notice the busy little balance wheel as it flies to and fro unceasingly, day and nif,'!it, year in and year out. This wonderful little machine is the re sult of hundreds of years of study and experiment. Tho watch carried by the average man is composed of 08 pieces, and its manufacture embraces more than 2,000 distinct and separate operations. Some of the smallest screws are eo minute that the unaided eye cannot dis tinguish them from steel filings or specks of dirt. Under a powerful magnifying glass a perfect screw is revealed. The slit in the head is 2-1,000 of an inch wide. , It takes 2)08,000 of these screws to weigh a pound, and a pound is worth $1,585. Tho hairspring is a atrip of the finest steel, about 64 inches long and 1-100 inch wide and 27-10,000 inch thick. It is coiled up in spiral form and finely tempered. Tho process of tempering these springs was long held as a secret by the few for tunate ones possessing it and even now is not generally known. Their manu facture requires great skill and care. The strip is gauged to 20-1,000 of an inch, but no measuring instrument has yet been devisiQ capable of fine enough gauging to determino beforehand by the size of tho strip what tho strength of the finished spring will be. A 1-20,000 part of an inch difference in thickness of the Btrip makes a difference in tho running of a watch of about six minutes per lionr. Tho value of thcBe springs when fin ished and placed in watches is enormous in proportion to tho material from which they nro made. A comparison will give a good idea. A ton of steel mado up into hairsprings when in watches is worth more than 12 times tho value of the same weight in gold. Hairspring wire weighs 1-20 of a grain to tho inch. One mile of wire weighs less than half a pound. . Tho balance gives five vibrations ev ery second, 200 every minute, 18,000 ev ery hour, 432,000 every day, and 157, 080,000 every year. At each vibration it rotates about 1$ times, which makes 107,100,000 every year. In order that we may better understand the stupen dous amount of labor performed by these tiny works, let us make a comparison. Take, for instance, a locomotive with 0 foot driving wheels. Let its wheels be run until they have given the same number of revolutions that a watch does in one year, and they will have covered a distance equal to 28 complete circuits of the earth. All this a watch does without other ntteutiou than winding once every 24 hours. Locomotive Engi neer. Effect of Llclitniug on tlie Body. In describing tho recent death of a' boy by lightning a dispatch stated that an accurate picture of trees and foliage in the vicinity of tho accident was made on the boy's body, which phenomenon was supposed to have been produced by the lightning u a manner similar to that of making pictures or photography. This, however, is not correct. While such marks aro observable occasionally on tho bodies of persons killed they bear no relation whatever to foliage of sur rounding trees, although they bear a cer tain resemblance to those objects. There is really no photographing of tho image of tho trees on ihe body. That the ac tual cause is quite different can be proved by experiment in tholaboratory. When electricity is discharged at high tension, as lightning is, on the surface of a body having a poor conducting power, a lu minous arborescent imago is formed, showing the path of one or more of tho sparks resulting from the discharge This was most beautifully shown in the experiments carried out with high tension currents in London by Swin burne. The current would exhibit scat tered lines of light that would develop into most exquisite tracery and take the form of plants or trees. The theory of this phenomenon is that the irregular courses taken by the spark may -bo due to the compression of air in the path of the dischar;, or to superior conductiv ity of somo parts of tho surface of the body. St. Louis GloberDemocrat. Wise Advice. In tho "Lifo of Rowland Hill," by Mr. Charlrsworth, published in London some years ago, there are many anec dotes of that remarkable man. At one timo when Mr. Hill was preaching for tho benefit of a charity a note was handed to him, the writer of which asked whether it would bo right for a bankrupt to contribute to the good cause. "Jin," said the preacher after he had read the note, "but, my friends, I would advise yon who aro not insolvent not to pass the plate this evening, as people will be sure to say, 'There goes the bankrupt.'
