How I Blind Man Can Tell Time. .
Perhaps umoy p‘coplc‘liavc noticed that
the blind man who plays the baud organ
duy aleI-udny at Grand avenue bridg‘r.
has a match in his pocket. He has a
watch and run loll time loo.
loan-Ida: II mun dropped a nickci In
his cup “and. noticing Ibo watch. asked
him {or the time. It was a minor ques-
tion to hair. but he saw the watch and
wanted to know whether the blind man
Was simply. pIctrnding to be sighllcss.
“I think I can tell. " sold the blind man.
,He held it up close to his car and slonly
lumcd the stem II lndcr
“One. two. three. four. live. six. seven.
eight." be counted. and: then be said:
"That means seveniy‘lwo minutes. I
wound up the watch lightly at 3 o'clock.
and so‘the time ought to be sbout twelve
minutcspust 4. Here. look and see how
near I come toil."
His questioner looked. and the time was
4:18. He was only six minutes nii’.
“Do you mean to any that you can tell
the lime of day by winding up your
which?"
"\‘ot exactly. but i can come mighty
near it. usually within ion minutes. and
it‘ 3 very easy too. All you have to know
is how one long click In binding up will
run the which I‘ll oxpinln. Suppose
that at .3 o'clock I wind up my notch
until ii is light. as we sny—tlmi is. until
another this of the uiudox would billiar-
cnlly break a spring. Al 5 o'clock I
wind the watch again and find that the
winder clicks twelve limos below ”It
which Is wound up to the place whole It
sticks. Then i know that molve clicks
will run the watch 120 minutes and that
one click“ rc‘pIcsmIts Ion minutes of time. ”
