Measurements of Time
by Old Water-Clocks
An early means adopted for the
measurement of short periods of
time was by noting the quantity of
water discharged through a small
orifice In the containing vessel, says
an article In the Montreal Family
Herald. If the vessel would empty
Itself between sunrise and sunset, a
certain number of markings equally
distant on the aide of the vessel
would enable one to tell what por
tlon of the day had passed by the
height of the water. This crude
measure of time was called a wa
ter-clock.
When the Roman general, Julius
Caesar, was carrying out Ida con
quests of Gaul, he crossed to Brit
ain for the first time In the latter
part of the summer of 55 B. O. In
his account of the expedition he
tells of many things be had oh
served among the Britons, and one
was the water-clock. Through ac
curate measurements by this clock
he found that the midsummer nights
In Britain were shorter than In the
south of Gaul or Italy. He ascer
tained the fact, but he did not know
the cause—the spherical form of
