It may be news to many that the atch of the railroad man is as nec ssary in modern railrotding as the ir brake. Without accurate time eeping there would probably be more cidents than if there were no air rakes. The train dispatcher starts a -ain at a certain time; he halts it at artain stations at certain times; he ide tracks it for a period of varying mngth; the watch of the conductor on ie side tracked train must agree with 2e watch of the conductor on the ex ress to which he had to give way; ach station master along the road tecks the time of every train that tops or flies past. In order that there may be agree ient among all these railroad men aere must obviously be not only time ieces, but accurate timepieces. There iust also be some means of inspect ig the timepieces to see if they are ecurate and if they agree with some tandard. The railroad man is there re compelled to buy not simply an rdinary watch of reasonable value, ut a particularly good watch, a time iece which is adjusted to heat, cold nd at least three positions. These iree positions are pendant up, as arried in the pocket; dial up and dial own. Such an instrument will not ary more thab thirty seconds a week, rhich is a good deal more accurate 1an many scientific instruments of recision used in laboratories. Even uman proneness to error is consid red in this matter of choosing a good filroad watch, for a lever set watch c preferred to the pendant set watch ecause there is just the chance that ie stem of the pendant set may not e pushed back after setting through n oversight. On one great line about 5.000 atches, worth on an average of $25 piece (a low average), are used. If 'e take into consideration the number t watches that are used on other )ads throughout the country it is rident that the value must run up ito hundreds of thousands of dollars. In order that the watch may be kept p to a regular standard it must be tspected regularly. There is naot only general time inspector on most rail )ads, but a staff of local inspectors 'ho are placed along the road at con enient points and to whom the men iay resort when they wish to com are their time with the standard time that place. Once every two weeks e railroad man submits his watch to ich an inspector, usually a jeweler 7 watchmaker by profession. The inspector gives his ex:pert opin n on the* condition of the timepiece. it needa cleaning he says so and oes it; if it is fast or slow he regu Ltes it, and not until it is running pith sufficient accuracy is it allowed >escape from his care. A watch's tord is kept as if it were a thief. So tr as repairing goes. the railroad man under no compulsion. He need not and over his watch to any particular -atebmaker or inspector for repair, Ut e can give it to any 'watchmaker twhom he has confidence. It must, owever, be submitted to the in ector befor-e it can be used in actual ~rvice. That no favoritism is shown in the tatter of watch'es is evident in the Lct'- that no less than eight dif ~rent manufacturers supply railroad atches.-Scientific American. Making the Chances Even. In days when tavern br'awls -In Eng Lnd were frequent and swords were ut on the slightest provocation comn on fairness demanded that the blades ' chance combatants should be of ual length. In a sudden affray iere would be no thought of measur ig swords, so the authorities took the iatter into their own hands at the ates of the city of London. where rery gallant was liable to be chal ~nged, and if the p)ublic official found ay blade beyond thirty-six inches the nith stood by to snap off the steel to ie required length. In Queen Eliza eth's reign this was the common ractice. A Sixtus V. Salad. When Pope Sixtus V. was an ob sure monk he had a great friend in a rtain lawyer who sank steadily into verty while the monk rose to the pacy.
