In Turkey the watch and clock are
extremely rare, and a big crowd of per
sons could be rounded up on tbe street
without fiuding a watch among them,
but the natives have an exceedingly in
genious way of approximating tbe time,
and some of them bit it with consider
able accuracy. They locate two cardi
nal points of the compass and then,
folding tbeir hands together in such a
manner that the forefluger* point up

observe tbe shade cast. In tbe morn

one finger or the otber will point di

two shadows will determine the hours
