complete turn Of the disk, turning the
nut one degree, would move The jGl ope4s

The turn Of the diSk one dogree would
turn the nut only one-sOOOth Of the DIS
lance round, and would consequently
raise or lower the jar one-3S6, 0OOth part
Of an inch. So slight q movement Of the
jar would be imperceptible to the eye, yet
the measurement Of the steel pointer on
the rim Of the disk would show that II &C.
tuGlly took place.
The accurate measurement Of these
movements furnishes q basis whereby, al.
ter observation Of what = clock has
gained or lost ii = given time, the pendu-
lum may be set 90 Is almost exactly TO
correct It. Mr.. TURNER calculates that
with this spplIAncehe can correctA varia'
ton in his clock Of about one second in a
year, providing Of courss, that the clock
Is perfectly Compensated"
Minute Is ia this approximation 10 ex-
acdtude, It can be brought down to q
much finer point than this: first, by making
the screw on the pendulum rod finer, In
creasiDg the number OF threadsper inch
second, by further subdiViding the gradua'
tons on the rim Of nut and disk. These lat
ter can be enlarged without Inconvenience
SO much that each could have on its rim
several hundred distinctly measurable de-
grees. Given $50 degrees per inch, and
80 thereads per inch on the screw, the
turn of the disk one degree would move
the pendulum weight one.6t AS, O0Oth
Of an inch, with perfect accuracy. This
is our own extension Of the principle.
The inventor does not, we believe, con-
slider any such amazing minutenes neces'
sary; but thinks the movement Of one
1886, OOOth Of an inch accomplished by the
apparatus on the clock in his store, as near
exActness as any clock mechanism yet
made can be expected to preserve. But
We see that the principle he has discover
ed is capable of extension far beyond any.
thing that any possible perfection IN clock
mechanism will ever require.
We may add that the inventor Of this
appliance, which will be valuable where
ever exact time keeping Is essential, has
applied for patent; but he Is 80 modest 3
gentleman and has said so little about his
discovery that it was only BY accident
any knowledge Of It came TO our ears and
found its way into our columns.

Regulator EoTSASITonomtcal CLOCKS
valuable Invention by a Citizen
Of wheeling. --.
Mr.. VIZ a. TUNER, jeweller, oithis
city, has invented an appliance Tor the
regulation Of Astronomical Clocks, BY
which they may be regulated with a
nicely and certainty unsttaiDsble by any
means hitherto known. The usual meth
Cd Of regulating is raising or lowcEingthe
pendulum ball by means Of screw and
nut But II Is Iouud impossible, with the
utmost akin and care through long periods
Of time, thus to requisite the finest clocks
80 thatthey willnot gain or lose something
with reference to exact time. This is be
cause regulation In this way is only guess
work, because the touch and the eye are
not equal 10 the attainment OF precision,
even Il the movement Of the nut By the
hand was anything more than 8 work Of
approximation. Hence ii is necessary, as
our readers know, frequently TO correct
even the best clocks by solar observation.
Mr.. TURNER has devised. and applied
TO 4 tine clock in his store q simple BIT Of
mechanism which promises to overcome
this difficulty 50 completely as to leave
nothing to be desired, The pendulum
WEIGHT on this clock is a mercury jst,
which Is raised or lowered by means OF
screw and nut, in the usual way. He hiss
supplied a device by which the turn oil
the nut, and the consequent elevation OF
depression Of the jar, can be exactly
measured. On the bottom Of the nut 4
