A SCIENTIFIC CLoCKMAKER.

At the last meeting of the British Royal
Astronomical Society, Sir George AIRY, Tue
Astronomer Royal paid well deserved tribute
- the memory of Graham, the clOckmaker
Before his time, astronomical tmepieces we've

by Introducing clocks which would 90 MOI for
few hours only, but for many DAYS without

niZed quickly and adopted everywhere, ana as

the animal may have been an excellent swim

deed, Is quite like that of some amin Us, and If
found alone might have been ascrlbed 10 some

remarkable feature; they PRESENT centrum all
the parts of which are intimately uni ed, midi
catlng great perfection acquired by th's Per
man form. VI. Gandry calls the animal o7ereo-
rachys on this account. Another mark of its
superiority is thar tie humeIus has IN is dlstal
