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.

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.

thickness of the cloud layer on an
