carried around in twenty-four hours,
Saturn in his PROPER motion in thirty
years Jupiter in twelve; Mars in
two, and the sun, Murcury and We
nus in one year, and the moon accord
ing to its lunations. In the clock it.
self there are two tables, one at the
right, and the other at the lelt had,
showing the eclipses of the sun and
moon fom 1913 to 1924. In the Gen.
tao between these tables is shown the
course Of the year, and advancing
from niche under the first gallery,
the symbolic god ofthe daY-Apollo
on Sunday, Diana on Monday, etc.
The dial shows the year of our Lord,
the equinoctal days, the hours of
each day and the minutes OF each hour
also Easter day, and all the other
feasts of tue church; and the domini-
cal letter.
There is also a table giving des-

ventor, and all the workmen employ
ed on the clock. In the middle frame
of the clock is a dial showing the sign
in which each planet is every day.
There is also a terrestrial globe show

also quarter and half hours. even the
minutes in position of the globe.
There is also the skull of u dead man.

of the four men before mentioned,
which strike the quarters of the hour ;
but only after Death has come out and
attempted to strike, but Is driven
back by a statue OF Christ with q
spear in bis hand. This is done on
The three first quarters, but at the end
Of The hour, Christ goes back, and
Death comes out and strikes the hour
with a bone in his hand, and ut his
stroke the chimes sound. In the
highest niche of the work, when the
clock strikes twelve, the apostles, full
sized statues, dressed in the robes o.
their time, move in procession around
the Savior; and on the point of u lit
tie steeplc, built for the weights, &
stately cock flaps his wings, stretches
his neck, opens his bill, and, to the
great amusement of the gaping specta.
tors, crows his shrill kikeriki, (ke-knr
re-ke) II German word corresponding
to cock -a-doodle-doo, which resound>
through the entire structure.
All this is upon the inside Of tho
church; but outside there are dlalS
showing the hours Of the day, the
course of the IN on, the length o
the day and the rising and setting Of
th2 sun; all done with sculpture anC
great art rendering his clock one Of
the most curious and wonderful Of
mans productions.

CATHEDRAL AND
IT'S WONDERFUL
CLOCKS.
BY pR. HIRAM A. CUTTING.

All, doubtless, who visited the Con
tcnnial at Philadelphia, were more or
less attracted toward the beautiful and
peculiar clocks there exhibited. The
musical clocks, while they gained q
larger share Of attention, were not 50
peculiar in structure as those having
various images and combinations, to
strike quarters, halves and hours in
various peculiar fashions. One clock
had perched over the face an cmblem-
attic cock that stepped out three min
utes before the close of the hour, and
Mt its close erowed the requisite num-

A silver axe was given to Mr.. Glad
stone on the G9th anniversary of his
birth. Long tine ago some English
men presented Charles the First with
q steel axe, which fell between his
head and shoulders, and went clean
through his neck. A silver axe hard
y could be ground to a sufficiently
fine edge, or Mr.. Gladstone might try
his New Years present on the neck of
Lord Bcaconsfcld, whom he loves well
enough to kill and eat.
