Show A Wooden Watch. We were shown yesterday by engineer Matt Franklin a wooden watch made by Victor Duriot, ol Bristol. The ease is nuido of brier-rort, and the inside works, all except threo of the wheels and the springs (which are metal), are of box-wood, while the face is made from a pieco of a shoulder blade of a cow, which was run over by a train and killed some time ago. It is an open-faced watch with a glass crystal, and is an elegant piece of workmanship, displaying wonderful talent in the maker. It does not weigh more than au ouuee. Matt says ho has carried the watch a day or two and it keeps as good time as any watch he over carried. Knox-ville Knox-ville Chronicle. |
