Stories of Wonderful Clocks.
Main j oars :ijd t n cloi'k of reat

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,

a hand that pointed to the name of the

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

sentinel, with his anus, iu the livery of

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

Two dudes of the most olluiisiye type

You can imagine the olleet."
Then the Iwo sweet things laughed
