A Wonderful clock

The clock in the tower Of the CaLhedra,
of Strausburg is not only monster IN
size, but is the most wonderful piece of
mechanism in tho world. 1t is one huns
drcd feet high, thirty feet wide, and if-
teen deep. About twenty feet from the
bottom is the dial on each side OF which
is cherub, holding % small malct in his
hand, while over the dial is a small bell;
the chcrub on the left strikes the first
quarter and that on the right the second
quarter. Fifty feot above the dial is a co,
lOssal of Time, with bell in his lef. hand
and a scythe in his right. A figure of q
young man i'll front strikes the third quar-
ter on the bell in Times left hand, and
then turns and glides witha slow step a.
round behind Time, when out comes an
old man with mallet and places himself
iu front OF the great reaper. As the hour
Of twelve comes he old man deliberately
strikes, with much power, twelve times
on The bell. lie then glides slowly be,
hind Time, and the young man again
comes out and takes his position, ready TO
do his duty when called upon by the ma
ChlnCry. AS soon as tho old man has
struck twelve another set OF machinery is
set in motion some twelve feet higher,
where there is n high cross with the image
of Christ upon it, The instant twelve is
struck figure of one cf the Apostles
walks out from behind, comes in front,
turns facing he cross, bows, and walks
on al ound to his place. This is repeated
until the twelve Apostles, large as life,
wal k out, bow, and pass on. As the last
appears, an enormous game cock, perch
ed on the pinnacle OF the clock, slowly
flaps his wings, stretches forth his neck
and crows three times, so loud as to be
heard outside OF the church 10 some dis
tanco and with lfelike unnaturalness.-
Then all is still as death.
