Calico.

In 1882, Calico, then youth of eighteen,
was seated in a church, when the lamps
suspended from the roof were replenished
by the sacristan, who, in doing so, caused
them toAoscillste from side to aide, as they
had done hundreds of times before when
similarly disturbed. He watched the lamp,
and thought he perceived that while the
oscillations were diminishing, they still oc-
cupied the same time. The idea thus sug-
gested never departed from his mind, and
fifty years afterwards he constructed the
first pendulum, and thus gave to the world
one of the most Important instruments Cor
the measure of time. Afterwards, when
living at Venice, it was reported to him
one day that the children of a spectacle
maker, while playing with two glasses. had
observed, as they expressed it. that things
were brought nearer by looking through
them in a certain position. Every body
said how curious, but Calico seized the
iden and invented the first telescope.
