J.C.Trullinger TIME. LAND AND WATEE CLOCKS. I.owTIrne was Formerly Measured. The Invention of CIockH And. IVatche-, The greatest interest will be found in the history of the origin and de velopment of clocks and watches. The first gnomon or sun-dial of which we have any historical notice is that of Kins Ahaz, about 740 years before the Chrsitian era. It is" mentioned in 2 Kings 20:11: "And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the Lord ; and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz." The ancients used hemispherical dial plnt'cs, with the radius which throws the shadow running north and south ; those now in use are flat, with the edge of theshadow radius formingan angle with the horizon equal to the latitude in which they are situated or parallel lo the earth's axis. Al though it was possible to tell the time by a mathematically adjusted sun-dial lo within a few minutes, they were in a great measure super seded at a very eai ly date by clepsy dno and sand-glass. The most usual form of clepsytnu, or water clocks, seems to have been a Graduated vessel containing a float, into which water dropped from another vessel, the float as it rose, indicating the time of day. The sand clocks, or glasses, seem to have been very .similar to an ordinary hour-glass of the present day. These are supposed to have been of early origin. Candle clocks were a later method of mark ing time. It is rather remarkable that, long before the invention of wheel clocks, planetariums, or orrer ies were well known. The first modern planetarium in England was one made for Lord Orrery, whose name has been since generally given to these machines, and that our fore fathers looked upon the planetary motions as the true measure of time may be proved by the fact that the first clocks constructed nearly always showed various astronomical phe nomena, in addition to showing or striking the hour of the day. Very little is known, it would seem, about the tirst invention of wheel clocks, no two writers seemingly agreeing as to the exact period of their introduc tion. Although some historians as sign it to such an early date as even the sixth century, it is not very prob able that they are correct, the words horologium, horologe, etc., having been applied indiscriminately in old writings to any machine for measuring time. It is pretty certain, however, that clocks driven by weights, and striking automatically, existed in the eleventh century. The oldest clocks in England were that of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and one at Westminster, which latter was paid for out of a fine imposed by Edward I., in the year 1288, upon Sir Ralph de Hengham, chief justice of the King's bench, for corrupt prac tices. St. Paul antedated the latter by at least two years. From these dates the manufacture of clocks would appear to have become a set tled industry in England, although the first authentic description we have of the interior of any wheel clock is that of one made by Henry de "Wyck, a German, for Charles V. of France, in 1379, which has been not inaptly styled the "parent of modern time-keepers," since, except that it had no pendulum and only an hour hand, it was verv like in principle the clocks of the present day. It consisted of a train of wheels driven by a weight, and had a verti cal or verge escapement with a vi brating balance, but no spring; the balance, instead of being shaped like a fly wheel, was in tho form'of a T, upon the two thin projecting arms of which concentric notches were cut. Two small regulating weights were suspended from the arms, and it was by shifting these from notch lo notch, or from the center, that the clock was made to go faster or slower as required. The discover- of the isochronism, or equality of time, of the pendulum is attributed to Galileo, who observed that a chandelier swinging in a church at Florence, Italy, performed the vibrations of the long and short arcs in the same time. It was he who first conceived tho idea of applying the pendulum to a clock; but Huygens, the Dutch philosopher, was the first to investi gate thoroughly tho mathematical theory of the pendulum. The first watches were made at Nuremberg, Germany, about tho year 1500, where the mainspring is said to have been invented by Peter Hele, a clockmaker of that town. They were furnished with the verge escapement, similar to the one in De Wyck's clock, the want of control over which, no doubt, suggested the idea of the fusee adjustment, which was invented about the year 1520. Charles V. of Germany is said to have taken great interest in the per formance of these early specimens of horological art, and to have kept several of them going together. They appear to have been in common use in England in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and are mentioned by Shakespeare in "Twelfth Night." But it was jiot until the invention of the balance spring, about the year 1660, that any rapid progress was made in the direction of good time keeping. The invention of the balance spring is assigned both to Huygens and to Dr. Robert Hooke, an Englishman, and it is claimed that it must rest with the latter, whose enunciation of the theory of its iso "hnnism in the words, "Ut tensis sic vis" (as the tension so is the force), showed that he was well acquainted with its properties, although this axiom, which is called "Hooke's law," is true only of certain lengths of spring fixed at the ends at certain positions. Repeating work was in vented in the year 167G by an En glish clergyman named Barrow, who was, however, opposed by one Dan iel Quare, a watchmaker, in his ap plication for a patent for his invention, and in favor of whom the King (James II.), on appeal, rendered a decision. From the latter part of the seven teenth century the science of horology steadily improved in England. Facio introduced jeweling from Geneva in 1700; and George Graham, a watch maker's apprentice, invented the cylinder eBcapement in tho same year. This escapement, although found to be a great advance on the verge, was soon almost discarded, owing to the rapidity with which the brass escape wheel cut in the cylinder, which was of steel. This, indeed, caused the introduction of rub' cylinders, but the difficulty and expense of making rendered them unsuitable for ordinary watches. The Swiss, however, took the idea up, and the horizontal escapement, with a small steel wheel, was, until very recently, almost the only one applied to their watches. It "is in deed generally made now, but the superior qualities of the lever are slowly asserting themselves in that country, and are gradually driving it out of the market. N. Y. Sun. Why the Editor lit Bald and Toothless. " You may never have remarked that literary men are apt to bo come toothless sooner than other people," said a dentist to me yester day. "Tho phosphates which should go to renew the hair and teeth, are consumed by tho brain with such rapidity that the dentist and barber have to be called into re quisition by brainworkers more frequently than by any other class. If, in addition to hard brainwork, unvaried by frequent periods of rec reation and repose, the subject is a heavy smoker or drinker, the decay is so much the more pronounced." Interviow in N. Y.
