A clock made entirely of bread has
been lately received in Milan, Italy,
from Peru. 1t was constructed by an
Indian, who, having no means of pur-
chasing material, saved proportion of
the soft part Of his daily bread for the
purpose. He solidifed it with GER
tain salt which rendered it very hard
and insoluble in water. The clock
keeps good time, the case, also of hard
ened bread, displays artistic talent.
