4 Remarkable Clock.

y clock is now ON exhibition i'm De-
trOit, Mich, the work of Mr.. Felix
Meier, a mechanic, which is said To
eclipse the famous clock at StrasbouryIa
in eomplexity and interest. IL stands
Is feet in height, and is enclosed i'm a
black walnut frame elab0rately carved
andoEhamented- The crOwning figure
is that Of Liberty, upon canopy over
the head of Washington, who Is seated
upon a marble dome. The canopy is
supported by column ON either side.
On inches below, at the four corners of
the :. tx, are four human figures repre-
senting infancy, youth, manhood and
age. Each of these figures has a bell i'm
one hand and hammer in the other.
The inches are supported by angels
with ilaring torches, and over the centre
is the figure OF Father Time AT the
quarter hour the figure of the infant
strikes its tiny bell; AT the half hour the
figure of the youth strikes his bell of
louder tone; at the third quarter the
man strikes his bell, and at the full hour
the graybeari. Then the figure of Time
steps ut and tolls the hour. rs two
small figures throw open the doors i'm
the columns on either side of Washing
ton, and a procession of the Presidents
of the United States follows. As the
procession moves, Washington rises and
salutes each figure as il passes, and it i'm
turn salutes him. They move through
the door on the other side, and il is then
closed behind them This procession
moves To the accompaniment of music
played by the clock Its self. The music
machinery is capable Of playing several
airs.
The mechanism also gives the correc;
movement of the planets around the.
sun, comprising Mercury, which makes
the revolution once in ~ days; Venus.
once in III days; Mars, once in 6s6 DAYS:
Nesta, once in ! ,S2T days; Juno, once in
l,5s3 days; Ceres, once in ,6Sl dIvS:
Jupiter, tnce in 4, 3s2 days, Saturn, once
in - years; Uranus, once i'm ~ years.
As these movements are altogether too
slow to be popularity enjoyed, the inven-
tor has added u device by which he can
hasten the machinery to- show its work
ings to the public.
There are dials which show the hour.
minute and second in Detroit, Washing
ton, New York, San Francisco, London,
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, ~. Petersburg,
COnstantinOple, Cairo, Pekin, and Mel
bourne. The clock also shows the dlsly
of the week and month in Detroit. the
month and season OF the year, the
changes of the moon, etc. liz is said
that MIR. Meier has worked upon this
clock nearly ten years, and for the last
four years has devoted his whole time to
it.-IScienfifc imcric0R.

THE GUANO QUESTIONIN YORK. 80
A number Of the farmers and citizens Of
Bullock's Creek township met at Blairsville,i
on the 9Th instant, for the purpose of discuss
ing and considering the guano question, MAIN
ly in reference to the prices demanded by the
fertilizer manufacturing companies. Rev. b.
A. Ross presided over the deliberations Of the
meeting. The proceedings, as reported to us,
were as follows ~ -. '3'a'''": 7'i 'l4 -
DR.. Ross, on taking the chair, explained the
object Of the he,meeting, and gave hiseviews Of
the subject under, consideration. He did mot
profess to have any minute and certain knowl-,
edge as to the real cost of the manipulated
guanos and phosphates now in use in our State
and manufactured here and elsewhere He
knew no good reason why they should be high!
er this season than formerly but on the con-
trary, owing to the cheapness of provisions
and dconsequentabilityt to feed labor, he'thougiit
the fertilizers should be alower.. He held that
all the great industries Of the State. should
move abreast with each, other, not in q spirit
of hostility, open or disguised, but in a spirit
Of friendly rivalry and generous emulation,
each striving to fully develop its particular
interest. What the farmers now need is
knowledge and cooperation among them
selyes-eo- -operatio not to assail any ether in
terest in the least, much less to Cypress, but
to protect their own business and it's. interest,
That with this spirit they should, in united
manner, meet the guano companies and their
agents and ascertain some middle ground up
