WATCHES GIVE 'i SEVERE TEST
Bureau ef Stat.ciariJs at Washington
Will Give Certificate of Accuracy
to Any Timcpiece.
Comparatively few people know
that any person can send liN watch to
the bureau of standards at Washitig
ton for testing to ascertain if It qual
ities as a timepiece of the highest
grade—desl^mi;»'d as "Class A."
The p.iv ik'.e is used chiefly by
watch manufacturers, the Illustrated
World tells tis». who accompany each
tested timepie. e with a government
certificate.
To ascertain the accuracy of a time
piece It i> placed in a large irlass-front
refrigerator. equipped witli automatic
devices that keep the temperature at
a fixed point, in which the watch
"runs" for s'ated periods at various
degrees of l<ett an 1 cold. When the
regulator has been set. the flow of colli
air from the ice chest above the watch
chaii:l>er is controlled by a thermo
static device, and. when necessary,
warm air N in1 reduced from the out
side. The three temperatures at
which all watches undergoing the test
are kept are 45. 70 and SC> degrees
Fahrenheit.
I To qualify in "Class A," a watch
must nor vary more than four or five
seconds from correct time, and. In
addition. It must be able to repeat Its
performance in a variety of positions
and under varying conditions. In all
there are eleven specifications in the
test, some of them Involving technical
calculations.
Any vnriance msde by the watches
under test from correct time is re
corded by means of a chronograph.
HUGE PYTHON "RAN" SHIP
Little Doubt That Reptile Was in Su
preme Command, at Least for
a Few Hours.
How a huge python took possession
of the British steamship Bolton Castle
for a brief period during her recent
trip from Singapore to Victoria, B. C,
was related by officers and passen
gers of (lie vessel on her arrival at
the Canadian port.
Three of these monster serpents
were being shipped to the Bronx zoo
In New York, and In some unaccount
„ able manner one of them managed to
make its escape. The whereabouts of
the snake was a matter of anxious con
jecture among the crew for a
couple of days, until in the early hours
of the third day out the quartermas
ter was precipitately driven from his
post at the wheel by the appearance
of the monster In the pilot house door
way.
The vessel was allowed to drift for
a couple of hours, until, armed with
every available weapon, some mem
bers of the crew undertook a stealthy
raid, arriving just In time to see the
snake leave the pilot house and glide
ipto the sea. The creature'was said
to measure 30 feet In length.
"Mexico to Pay Debt and Build
Railways," says a .headline. The gen
erous minded reader will be willing to
accept the 50 per cent of the state
ment that refers to the building of
railways.
