BALANCE WHEEL OF A WATCH TRAVELS SOME The balance wheel of a large watch has a diameter of about 0.75 inch and a circumference of 2.36 inches. says The Scientific Am- erican. summarizing an article in Prometheus. As the wheel makes five single oscillations in a second and the amplitude of each oscillat- ion is 15 complete revolutions the rim travels about 16 inches in a second. one mile in an hour and 21 miles in a day. In three years of uninterrupted running, which is not unusual, the travel of the run of the balance wheel equals or exceeds the circumference of the earth. a distance that a locomo- tive. running 10 hours daily at a speed of 30 miles an hour, would take nearly three months to accomplish.

I A squadron of ten aeroplanes bom-i barded the hangars at Habschro, east of Mulhause. Eight bombs were drop- ped on the hangars, which caught fire. A German aerOplane on the ground nearby was damaged by our projec- tiles. The enemy tried in vain to pursue our squadron. An aviator struck by bullets, was forced to land. Another fell near Lutterbach. In the region of Nancy a German machine was attacked by one of our defending aeroplanes. The French machine, getting within close range of its ad- versary, succeeded in bringing it down. Another German machine, which came to assist in the combat, was forced to turn tail and flee.

It is not generally realized that dur- ing the early centuries of our era the Roman proconsular province of Africa rivaled Italy itself in wealth and bril- liancy and that in what are now Tunisia and Algeria there exist Roman ruins that vie in number, splendor, and state of preservation with those to be found anywhere else. The tall of Carthage in 146 B. 0. led the Romans to establish themselves in North Africa, at first in a modest settlement, the purpose of which was to see that the Phoenician city was not rebuilt. Ere long they themselves, however, reoccupied the site and built on it a city that became the third in the empire. The gradual extension or their rule was forced on the somewhat unwilling Romans. To protect their settlement against the predatory Phoenicians, Libyans, and Berbers they found it necessary to push their conquests along the littoral to the west and the south, into the high plateaus between the Tell Atlas and the Sahara Atlas, and even well into the desert itself, till a good part of what are now Tripoli, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco was ruled by The country was much more exten- sively cultivated and thickly populated than at present. and for centuries was the principal granary of Rome. After lasting for nearly six centuries Roman rule in North Africa was brought to an end by the invasion of the Vandals from Spain and their capture of Car- thage in 4:39 A. D.-Arg'onaut.

Little Willie became slightly indis- '. posed, and when the family doctor was ' called be prescribed some medicine in pOWder form. l “Come, Willie.” said the fond moth- .er, preparing one of the powders as . soon as the medicine arrived from the drug store, “you must take this right away so that you will be well.” that the gr'eat advantage is that ft gives the liver a healthy squeeze. All organs in the abdominal cavity as well as the liver are apt to get overcharged with blood from careless habits of sitting. A relaxed sitting position causes the abdominal muscles to relax so that blood runs into this part or the like a stagnant pool. The blood needed in the brain is down in the liver. The condition pro- duced led the ancients to refer to a man with’the blues as a hypochondriac, which means, literally, down under the ribs. Today we speak of the condition as being down in the mouth because the lines of the face are pulled down. Melancholy is due to a congested condition of the liver and other organs depriving the brain of blood necessary to keep up the normal balance of ac- tivity. When one is tired or feels the dejected feeling coming on, relief can be obtained by lying on the floor with a pillow under the middle of the back and taking a few long, deep breaths. It the arms are thrown over the head and a dozen deep breaths are taken, a new spirit will come into the brain. Sometimes this is done auto- matically, as when we throw up the arms and straighten up after a crouch- ed position at a deskâ€"Cincinnati Com- mercial Tribune. “No, I don’t want to take-it,” whined Willie, backing away from the dose. “1 don’t need no medicine.” “Why, Willie,” pleaded mother, gen- tly drawing the boy toward her, “you never heard me complain about a little powder, did you ?” “No, an’ neither would I,” was the startling rejoinder of Willie, “if. I could just put it on my face, like von do. but I have to swallow it.”- - Curious Effects of Tea and Coffee. A condition resembling true color blindness sometimes follows the exces- sive use of coffee. It is probable that tea also will produce this condition, since both contain the same active principle, although cases of tea color blindness are comparatively rate. It has been observed, however, that both tea and con'ee may aflect the eyesight and even cause actual blindness. Such blindness is not usually complete, or permanent, and it the use of the harm- ful beverage is discontinued, normal sight will gradually returnâ€"Exchange.
