BflfTl JCARE OF TIMEPIECE Sensitive Pise of Mechanism Given the Attention Which Should Be Accorded It On cold days many of as are annoyed to find that our pocket or wrist timepieces are not behaving well. Suspecting dirt tired'' mechan ism, we take our chronometer to be ex amlned and doctored. But how many owners of watches at tribute any blame to themselves when their timepiece goes out of order? A watch Is a highly sensitive piece of mechanism.7 About 75 per cent of us, on retiring for the night, place our watches on the cold washstand or mantelpiece, and during the night, the fire having burned down and out, the at mosphere of the bedroom becomes chil ly. Now, all metals contract with cold, yet many express surprise when they rise In the morning and find that their timepiece has gone wrong. The best plan to prevent your watch from becoming "frozen up" Is to sleep with it under your pillow.

This evens the temperature and, incidentally, your watch Is In a safer resting place It 4s generally thought that it is merely a matter of convenience whether a timepiece is wound up at night or In the morning. The morning fs the better time, because, fortified with the latent power In the spring, the mechanism Is more able to withstand the Jolts and shakes ft receives during the day. INVENTOR IN EARLY OUTH John Muir, When a Boy, Gave Prom. ise of the Genius That Later Made Him Famous. John Mulr.

the naturalist. In his youth developed a talent for inven tlon, making his own tools out of the material at hand. During this perioil he Invented an apparatus which, when attached to his bed, not only awakened him at a definite hour, but simul taneouslv lighted a lamD-r After so many minutes allotted for dressing, a beok was pushed up from a rack be low the top of his desk, thrown open and allowed to remain there a certain number of minutes. Then the machin ery closed the book, dropped It back Into Its place, and moved the rack forward with the next book required. Muir also constructed ft timepiece which Indicated the days of the month and of the week as well as the hours.

One of his. clocks kept good time for "0 He nlso built a self-setting sawmill and an automatic eontrlvnme for feeding horses at a required hour. Among his tools was a fine saw made out of strips of steel from old corsets, and bradawls, punches and a pair of compasses from wire and old files. "Mining" for Museum Specimens. Few persons conieinplating the re markable specimens of extinct animals to be seen in soine museums real-lie the amount -of work h'cb has been entailed in the uncovering and preparation of these specimens.

In the first place, a well-equipped expedition Is generally sent ou to look for these bones, and many miles are sometimes covered in the search of a likely snot for Even tln tons of sand are carefully moved often without uncovering the bones t-at are belntc The removal of the soil can be done only by those who are familiar with tne work, ror an Inexperienced hand could readily do much damage by not knowing how to proceed. When a bone has been lo cated it uncovered slowly by the aid of small brushes and delicate im plements The bones, when found are exceedingly brittle and must be han died with the greatest of care. When they are finally brought to light they are given a coat of shellac and then placed in a bath of flour paste. Thy are then carefully wrapped In strips of fabric and put In boxes. When the latter are placed in crates for ship ment the smaller Boxes are surrounded with cotton and other material to prevent any possibility of damage be ing done to the specimens.

The Painter's Idiom. The painter's message Is spoken In paint, truly enough. But paint Is a highly specialized lftedhmi, the spe cific quality of which is not readily comprehended by most people. Words. If anything, are popularly understood.

To write about paintings. is as far as possible to translate them from more difficult 'to a less difficult medium. Since the Justification of every art Is its 'nullity to say things which no other can, no translation can ever be complete; but enough of the message of paipting enn he Indi cated by words to arouse curiosity, to sharpen perception, to convey delight. So that by Interesting people In what can he said about paintings they may be led on to an Interest In the paint- ngs themselves. Virgil Barker, In Arts and Decorations.

When the Confederate ram, Merr mac, buret out of Us hiding place and made such fearful havoc among the federal frigates in Hampton roads during the Civil war, great consterna tion was caused In the nation's cap-. itaL Ericsson's little Monitor, arriving at Fortress Monroe In the nick of. time, had driven the monster Into his cave, but It was reared he would emerge again presently and continue the devastation.

Through Thurlow Weed, Cornelius Vanderbilt, founder of the Vanderbilt millions and known to New Yorkers as the Commodore," made President Lincoln an offer to stop the ram and keep It away with one of his own ships, stipulating, however, that he would accept jio money for his services and that Tie was to be free from bossing of the Navy department. It was further stipulated that he was to have willi a crew to be furnished by the government. In 8G hours he was teaming Into the mouth of the James river. The commodore was then sixty-seven years old, and his ship' was his namesake, the Vanderbilt Vander bilt promised that If the Merrlmae reappeared woMrun her down as a hound runs do a wolf, strike her amidships and sink her." The Mer-rlmac did not reappear. After the immediate danger was over the commodore returned home, but he generously agreed to allow his ship to remain in Vv service until the war was over.

Detroit News. LAUDING THE HUVBLE PICKLE Long Unsung, It at Last Come In to Its Own ar a Personal Beautifier. The lowly pickle has come Into Its own. It has at last been recognized as a beaut ifier. Little difference does It make that the person who recognized It happens to.

he president of the Tickle Packers' association; the important thing Is that it Is discovered. More than that, it is claimed by the same gentleman that It was constant nllv bllng of this c.K'U'ii'ioiish delicacy that gave Catherine of Aragon the beauty 'that won the heart of Henry VIII. As was to bo expected, traducers have already risen to ask why the pickles failed to keep" her beautiful enough to retain Henry's love; This Is. perhaps, a 'natural When Henry put Catherine away he did It In most gentle manner, just as do our modern persons Who take, a trip to Reno or I'aris when the love fire grows cold. Her non-plckle-eatlng successor, Anne Roleyn, was treated with no such consideration when her brief day ended.

It consequently appears that the very objection raised to an argument for the pickle as a beautlfler Indicates that It may be not only that but a life-saver as well. Springfield Union. Borrowed His Way to Riches. Henry Phlpps was associated with Andrew Carnegie for 50 years in the steel business. His wealth Increased, from nothing to His climb was Illustrated by a friend who told of the career of a man who owned a large chicken farm.

"How did you happen to start tn the chicken bnslnese?" somebody asked him. "When I was young- I was out of work for a he answered. "So I borrowed a hen and a dozen fresh eggs from a neighbor. I set the hen on the eggs and all of them hatched. Then I waited nntl the hen had laid a dozen eggs.

I took the hen and the dozen eggs I borrowed back to the owner. He had what I borrowed from him and I had a dozen chickens. The dozen chickens started my farm." Phlpps borrowed 25 cents to adver tise for a Job. Later he borrowed $800 to enter the partnership which made him rich. Greatest Sculptures Iver Executed.

The most Important of the famous "Elgin Marbles" are the sculptures of the Parthenon, or temple of Athene Parthenon (the Virgin), the patron goddess of Athens, which stood on the Acropolis. In 1801-8, Thomas Bruce, seventh earl of Elgin, British ambassador to the Porte, collected numerous sculptures at Athens, which he saw being dally destroyed, and In 1816 sold them to the British govern ment. They are now In the "Elgin room" In the British museum. The collection Includes sculptures, not I only from the Parthenon, but from I the Krechtheion and elsewhere, and I casts from marbles which were left In situ. These casts, compared with later casts, show that damage to the originals went on after Lord Elgin'i time.

The sculptures of the Parthenon are both traditionally and generally held to be the greatest sculptures ever One-Man Shop Always Open.

He left his car and did not return to claim it. A search was made for him but he was never located.

The remains were found in a thicket about 150 feet from the Na tional pike. The spot is a difficult one to reach and it was only by chance that the boys climbing around on the hillside this afternoon happened to venture to it, Coroner Greenlee was finable to determine how many shots had been fired from the weapon in the man's hand as some person in the crowd which quickly gathered after the grewsome discovery by the boys had taken the gun and removed the shells.

PHILOLOGISTS ARE IT 1ZK Esperanto and Ido Among These Being Considered for Universal Tongue Esperanto Makes Greatest Progress in Illiterate Russia. Washington, D. Linguists and philologists are yielding first place to scientists and industrial leaders in pro moting the idea of a universal iliary language.

This would seem to be the inference from the interest taken in this question by some of the most prominent men In Uncle Sam's corps of scientists. Some of America's commercial leaders are keeping pate with the men of science. AC. Bedford, chairman of Hie board of dlrertors of the Standard Oil company, is among those who are taking a keen" interest In the question. The scientists are by no means committed to Esperanto or yet Ido as the universal language of the future.

It is with them a question of getting universal agreement on an auxiliary language to aid the transference' of thought and knowledge throughout the world, linguistic difficulties being now regarded as the great dividing barrier. The question is one of the subjects on the agenda of the forthcoming gathering of the lntern itlonal chambers of commerce in Rome. Cottrell Active in Movement. Frederick J. Cottrell, Inventor of-the Cottrell precipitation process, cow in charge of the government's fixed nitrogen laboratory, has been prominent in bringing the learned scientific and lit erary bodies -of the country to a recog nition of the importance of the que tlon.

The following otlier academic bodies in the United States have appointed committees: The American Council on Education, American Classical League American Philological association and the National Research council. The aim of the standing committee of the American Association for the Advancement or Science Is, first, to make a searching fundamental study of the principles Involved In a unl versal auxiliary language, and, second.

to bring about an authoritative Inter national agreement both as to linguist! details and as to the practical meas ures to be takn. Framework by Linguists. Scientists recognize that linguists must work out the general framework of fact and Interpretation in a new language. The Importance of the man of science, such as the physicist, for instance, lies In his particular aptitude ('or recording and analyzing sounds in speech, just as the psychologists must aid in the measurement of mental phenomena. Science and technology has also special field of its own in the working out of technical vocabularies.

It Is from the standpoint of unification and standardization of the tools of thought that the bureau of standards might naturally be expected to approach the question. "AH the sciences, said a resolution the American association's commit tee, "are alike interested In unifying the fundamental tools of thought ffnd have been notably successful In so do ing with respect to our system of nura Iters, the arable numerals, the metric the measurement of latitude and longitude, angular divisions, math ematical symbols, chemical formulae, time and the calendar, notation In mu and other technical usages." Considerable attention has been given the question of an auxiliary lan guage by the League of Nations. Lord Robert Cecil was a member of a com mlttee appointed by the league to con sider, the question. The consideration that the league gave It was based on promise thafa universal means of communication would as time went on decrease the possibility of Interna tional misunderstanding. The Bolshevlkl were quick to seize this aspect of a universal language, Esperanto has made the greatest prog ress in the last few years in Illiterate Russia and in territory contiguous to Russia.
