They have snuff boxes on th senate
side, they have quill pens and sand
for blotting in. the supreme court room
and now the house of represenitatlvras
haa fallen' back on the ancient sand
glass as a means for telling time.
The sand-glass Is not exclusively
used to tell time In the house; it Is
only utilized as an aid to the presid
ing officer in apportioning time for
speeches under the so-called "flve
mlnute" rule of be House. .
The glass was made to order by
specifications furnished by Asher C.
Hinds, whose real Job as parllamen-
itarlaa is -concealed nnder the title of
"clerk at the Speakers table." It
consists of two long glass tubes, near
ly a foot and a half in length, each
one of which Is a five-minute "glass
They are on opposite sides of a brass
standard, and may be reversed when
the sand has run Into one end by
turning a knob . la vthe, center. The
sand which runs from one end of the
tube to the other is. black. The back
ground for the tubes Is white enatnel,
bo that a congressman who has good
eyesight, may see Just how fast the
sand Is running out from any. place
on the floor within fifty feet of the
Speaker's rostrum. The presiding offi
cer looks at the tube which faces

. During the consideration of all ap
proprlatlon measures In "Committee
of the Whole House on the State of
the , Union", amendments are permit
ted under the five-minute rule that
is, each proponent of an amendment
is granted five minutes In which to
speak In favor of the proposed change.
Heretofore a special clock was used
by the presiding officer the "chairman
of the Committee of the Whole Houue.
as he is officially called to keep tab
on these five, minute sp?eches. But
there have always been complaints of
discrimination (by. the presldlnig offi
cer, and even the most.careful chair
man sometimes 'forgets to' note the
exact time at which a speaker begins
his talk under the five-minute rule,
and has to guess the dime.
Very few members can accurately
estimate five minutes, and when most
of them ft warmed up to their sub
ject very few can complete their ar
gument within the specified time. If
they had some means of ascertaining
how' fast their time wns being con
sumed they would probably be able
to .finish. No member can now com
