TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. OCTOBER 21. i92o, JEWELS USED IN WATCHES TREE WAS ONCE A HANDSPIKE Hard Substance la Needed to With stand the Constant Friction Which Weara Away Moving Part*. Old Cottonwood at Norris City, IIL, Haa Interesting history—Was -Planted by Boy In 1815. The principal reason for the deteri oration of any piece of machinery Is because the constant friction wears away the moving parts and Interferes with the regularity of the mechanism. A watch, being a machine In which absolute uniformity of speed Is essen tial, It is necessary to reduce this friction to a minimum—either thgpugb constant oiling, the use of ball bear ings or some very hard material which will withstand the wear and tear of constant friction, The first two of these methods are not feasible In so small a piece of machinery as I a watch, so certain very hard jewels are placed at various points to counteract the rubbing caused by the moving parts. Watches are generally equipped with 7. 15. 17, 18, 21 or 23 Jew- els, the 15 and 17-jewel types being the most popular. Intrinsically, the jewels used In the manufacture of watches are of little value, but from the standpoint of service and the spe cific purpose which they serve they are Invaluable. The jewels usually used In watchmaking are the hardest of the precious »ton«, diamonds, sap phires and rubles, and of these the most generally used is the sapphire, which combines hardness with com- paratlvely reasonable price. At Norris City, IIL there la a tree known as the "vaulting-pole cotton wood" that has an interesting history which la told by the American For estry Magazine (Washington) as fol lows: Hosea Tierce and a boy comrade re turned from the war of 1812 to their homes, near Norrts City, in the spring of 1815, and on January 8 of that year they had heiped General Jack- son whip the British in the Battle of New Orleans. These boys both attended a log rolling on the old Pierce farm that spring, and as they were returning to the house after their day’s work made a wager who could vault the furthest, using their cottonwood handspikes as vaulting poles. They both left their handspikes sticking in the soft earth where they had vaulted, and during the spring rains of 1815 they both took root and lived. One of these trees died about ten years ago. but the other Is still ltving and is 106 years old. This tree Is about thirty teet tn circumference, 175 feet high, with a very large hollow tn the base of the tree which, has been used as a bousing for setting hens, a kennel for dogs and Is always a fine playhouse for children.

To Whom It May Concern. I-OOF- BUILDING BOTH PHOWES. The possessor of a radlollte watch or one having a radium dial by which the time can be detected at night, Is also the possessor of a vast power plant of no mean proportions, accord ing to a writer In the Electrical Ex perimenter. There is sufficient radium on vour watch to haul your train home if It could be properly applied, says tlvis author. As the matter stands, the Innocent looking radium dial does not seem to possess any extraordinary amount of concentrated energy, but this Is only apparently the case, and not actually so, for the reason that while the amount of activity manifested by the radium paint on the dial Is small, this effect will keep up for 2,500 years, provided the zinc sulphide, with which the radium is mixed so as to produce a glow, holds out that long. The zinc sulphide in most cases gives out in about eight to ten years. Now, If we could but find a wny to make the radium release all its energy in a few hours, instead of spreading It over 2,500 years, It would not be diffi cult to make a motor that would util ize this energy.

JOHN (M.’SCOTT, General Passenger Agent. The layer of cloud covering the earth Is relatively very thin. If, for example, we could examine the enrth from the moon we would doubtless see a veil of cloud covering little more than half the surface, At that distance the clouds would have no texture, the earth would appear swathed in an Irregular sheet of formless vapor, through which, from time to time, the land and water areas could be seen. The cloud cover of the enrth Is most attenuated;* It may be compared to a film, for It Is supposed to be less than one-eight-hundredth of the earth’s di ameter In vertical thickness. The thinness of the earth’s atmos phere mny be more clearly compre hended If we realize that the relative thickness of the cloud layer on an eight-inch terrestrial globe would be about one-hundred, h of an Inch. Yet It is in this thin belt that clouds form, so that it is seen our weather is pro duced within limited coniines.—The Ace. The Old Red Barn Passes.
