Main j oars :ijd t n cloi'k of reat i ti ; 1 1 n 1 1 ami elegant wo'kinansliip wi n made in London and presented to l'ie Empcrnr of I'liiim by the Ent In dia Company, it wealthy otaui.alioa onnjiiul in r-omnu'ree. Ewcliolock was mado in the form of n chariot, in which wn.i plaot'd tho figure of a lady loaning her rigltli'iiand upon a part of tho char iot; and under il was tito clock of cur ious v orkmnnsliip. it was smaller than a silver twenty-live cent piece, would repeat and strike tho hours and would go for eight dn.. Cpott tho linger of the lady sits a bird, finely modeled, set with diamonds and rubies, with its tiny wings extended in a thing posture. Ry touching a diamond button the bird would actually llutler for a time. The body of tho bird, although it contained a part of tho wheels that gave motion to the clock, was not more than one sixteenth of an inch in size. Tho lady bold in her left hand a gold tube, not much thicker than a large pin, on tin top of which was a small round bo to which was fixed a circular movement set willi diamonds and not much larger tluin n ten-cent piece. Over the lady's head was sup ported by a small fluted pillar, u double umbrella. Tho p liar was no larger than a quill. Under tho largest tint brella a bell was fixed at a considerable distance from tho clock with which it M'oined to have no connection; hut. in reality communication was secretly con veyed to a hammer tiiat regularly Mi tick tho hour, and repeated the same at pleasure by tho touching of a, dia mond button fixed to tho clock below. At the feet of the lady was a gold dog, and before it, from the point of the chariot, was two birds lixod on spiral winds, tho wing-5 and feathers of which wore set with jewels of various colors, and appeared as if Hying away w.tlt the chariot. I'rom another secret motion the chariot was mado to run in a straight, eieulur, or indeed iu any di rect on. Above tho umbrella were llowerx ami ornaments of precious stones, and it terminated with a Hying dragon, rjrnamented in a similar man ner. 'l'iis whole clock was mado of gold, most dclieatoh executed and em bellished with rubies and pearls A wonderful p'oee of mechanism known as tho Clepsydra, or water clock, was onro upon a time presented by a Turk of high rank to Charlemagne. In the d als of tho clock were twelve doors opening at tho hours wh ch they repiosented, and litllo balls equaling tho hours iu number appeared and struck the time upon a brazen bell. 1 ho doors continued open until noon. when twelve knights, mounted on horseback, issued forth, one from each door, and after parading around tho d al of the clock shut themselves in again. in lho lower of tho Town House in thoC tyof Heidelberg, Cermuuy, thoro existed many year.-, ago a clock so con structed that when tho hours .struck the figure of an old man pttllod oil' his hat, a cock crowed and clapped his wings, and bands of soldiers appeared and fought with each other. This cur ious piece of workmanship was burned in tho year lGUU, together with lho cas tle and town. In olden times there was u remark able clock in tho cathedral at London, Every hour two liorsenu n camo out of tho clock to uncounier each other, a door Hew open d sclo-ing the Virg n Alary on a throne, with Christ in her arms, people aro gal hered around pre senting gifts, anil two trumpeters aro sounding their horns. This clock also, showed tho month, day of the mouth und all of the festival) and lioliduvs of tho year. In tho Villugo of Fittenweon iu Scot laud, about fifty years ago, there was made and exhibited by .Mr. Smith, a clock and watch-maker of that place, an automatical clock whiih, from tho deseript on given of it at that t nio, ap pears to have equaled anything of tho kind oyer produced. It comprehended a very striking illustration of thu musi cal and religious character of the peo ple of Sjolhind, Thu case, which was of the line.-t mahogany was seven feat li gh, with Muted columns upon each bide. Tho upper part of the clock was ornamented with carving, fret work ami gilding, with a golden bird Inning its wings extended standing in tho center. The case contained a large e'ght-tlay muscal clock, with thiee dial plut-'s and a chimo of sixteen Mis. Tho whole clock was div ded into five dlll'er- out parts, each of which had its own part cular weight. The lirst was tho going part; the second kept a small musiial baud In mot on. The baud played a favorite tune over once before striking the hour. The third part struck thu hour; the fourth inovcdj a largo musical baud, containing eight celebrated .Scotch tunes, ono of which played every three hours, with great exactness. The front dial plate or face, whieh p about c Mei-n !in h - In diameter, bad a. i arch winch -Lowed lho hour, ininut. s -ttid second', w ih the name and date of the inoiilii. without variat on during the entire jear, cen on the U,Sih of February. Th? clock turned out all the odd day iu one night and brought out the first of March on the following morning. In tho plat there were also two small hands, ono of wh ch discovered the day of the week When Sunday came thoro appeared the words: Remember Sunday," and at t "J o'clock the music slopped playin iiut.il V2 o'clock on Sunday nirhL Tho music then In'gan aga n and continue until the next Saturday nirht. On the riilit hand was another dial plate oijrht inches wide, with an arch. It contain' a hand that pointed to the name of the tune the clock played. The el 'ill plate on the left was of the same size its the one on thu right. Il represented the front of a house with a door iu the. mid die. At each side of the door stood a sentinel, with his anus, iu the livery of the city guard of Edinburgh, painted on brass. Iu tho inside of (lie center of the door was soon the tnaeer or clerk of the lords of the council, dressed in his robes with his mace in his right hand As soon as tho clock began to play ho took oil" his hat. with his riiht hand and walked past the door, followed by fif teen lords in procession. Tho ligures were painted on thin brass and vor much resembled life. All this was but u part of this wonderful eight-day clock II ill M. domain, in Detroit Free J'rcsf. Keeping it Room Cool. The composing room of The I'irttijitnc is situated iu tho upper story of it publication house, just under the roof, and in summer is extremely hot. An inspiration seemed to hineoome to ono of the oppressed occupants, and, m ac cordance with it, a wrtica! wooden box was constructed in tho corner of tho room, with openings at the lloor and ceiling, and furnished with a pipe for supplying water at the top, and a pan ami drain at the bottom for receiving the How and carrying it. away. The supply pipe was bent over the upper oml ot the shaft, and litted witli a nose like that of a watering pot, so as to deliver a shower of spray instead of solid stream. On connecting it with the service p pe the movement of the water was found to cause an active eir dilation of the air in that part of tho room, which was drawn in at the upper opening of the shaft and issuo.l again cool and fresh at tho lloor level. The most surprising thing about the experiment seems to have been lho ef- leet ol the water iu cooling the a r to a decree much below its own tcmnera lure. Willi Mississippi water when drawn from the service pipe indic.itei a temperature of 81 degrees, the air of tho room in which the thermometer at the beginning of the trial stood at !J(i degrees was cooled in passing throtiL'h the length of the shaft to 7 1 degrees, or about 'J, I degn-'s below the temperature at which it entered and 1!) below Ilia! of Ih-j water which was ti-cd to cool it 01 course the ab-orpt on of heat by the evaporation of a portion of tho water accounts for its refrigerating effect, hut the result seems to huvi been so easy and inexpensively attain ed that the experiment would ho well worm repealing in other cases, acw Orleans I'.ca'ju .c. Bright Conceit of a Dude. Two dudes of the most olluiisiye type met on tho 1 o'clock ear on Walnut street on Thursday night. They were iu evening dress, ami after greeting each other with sickening ellusion one gasped: "Well, old fellah, I sprung it on 'em." "Naw, did yo though; how did il work?" "Oh, you'd a-dled.

There was a dead silence when I said: 'Miss Editli, did you get that letter?' 'Wh-what loiter?' she stammered, getting red all over. 'Letter go, Gallagher,' said I. You can imagine the olleet." Then the Iwo sweet things laughed until they choked. -I'tilatlcljihiti Tim,:, A Sure Sign "Do you think that Col, Verger is going to run again for tho legislature?" asked an Austin gentleman of a friend.
