The Clockmakers of the SchWarzwald
From the London Spectator

The first thing which stranger does at
Furtwangen is to see the exhibition of the
Gewerbcvereins, ard at Freiberg the Gew-
erbe Hall, open from May to October.
The latter is wooden building of some
taste, where every variety of clock can be
seen which the ingenuity of the Schwarz-
valdez can devise or his fingers execute.
Round the walls and on the tables are
clocks of every sort. Nearly all are of
wood, though here and there is fragile
one of straw or ivory. The first which at
tracts attention is very fine specimen of
wsod carving; the figures and design are
cut in limewood, and it stands two feet high.
The fingers and hours are of ivory. The
attendant puts it to 2 o. clock, and it forth
with plays a melodious air, as of the most
delicate flutes. The next is still larger, and
as the hour strikes miniature band plays
Die Wacht am Rhein." We pass on to
one made of beech and walnut, the dark
and light wood being charmingly blended.
As the fingers touch the hour, two helmet
ed trumpeters step out and blow the re-
veille Then there are cuckoos which
strike up at the hour and thrushes who
sing at the quarter; venerable monks
standing beneath the belfry ring the hour
when midnight comes. The automaton
clock comes next, and we watch Il sort OF
Pickwickian fat boy feed himself with rolls
till has finished striking. The taste and
minuteness of the carving in the largest or
the smallest point are very great; the reg
ulator on the pendulum Of the smallest
clock represents, perhaps, an oakleaf, OF
some simple, but still graceful object. MOI
are more methodical and stronger looking
clocks wanting; they are of every kind
they will suit the kitchen or, ihe boudoir,
The excellence of the external work is
equalled by TINT of the machinery, for hay.
