The Clock Of st. Mary's Church, Su-
beck.

Strolling through the streets happened
to pass st. Mary's Church near the hour
OF noon, and entered to see the famous
clock perform its little tricks, which it
has repeated day by day for over 300
years: This ancient piece of mechanical
skill is placed near the main altar, and has
a huge and bewilderingly complicated dial,
showing the second, minute, hour, day,
month, year and relative position of moon
and planets all at once. On a miniature
semicircular gallery above the dial is the
figure of Christ seated on a throne. With
the last stroke of twelve, melodious chimes
play verse of some hymn, and at the
same time little door on the right of the
gallery opens and figure in apostolic
garb appears, advancing slowly until it
reaches the throne, when it turns and
bows before the Savior, and then goes on
again, disappearing through door on the
left. Eleven Apostles pass through in
this manner, but the twelfth, who is said
to be Judas, only shows his face, when
the door = shut on him. I could not help
plying the poor little wooden apostle,
who has been subjected to this Notifying
treatment for 800 years. st. Peter comes
in for his share Of rebuke in the shape of
cock which makes an effort to crow
three times, but though he flops his wings
as lively as ever his voice was injured by
cold caught in the severe winter of 1924,
from which he never fully recovered, and
suspect st. Peter laughs in his sleeve at
the birds attempt to remind him of his
temporary detection over 1900 years ago.
