CLOCK MADE OF BREAD.

Milan, Italy. recently became pos
sessod of treasure in the shape OF
a clock which IS made entirely OF
bread. The maker is a Peruvian. who
for three years has been employed in
the construction of this singular Gu
riosity. Too poor to purchase metal.
and with only a certain allowance OF
bread daily. he deprived himself reg
ularlv of the soft portion of hisloaves,
satisfying his hunger with the crus1s,
He usea certain salt to solidify his
material, the various pieces when dry
thus becoming perfectly hard and IN
soluble to water. The clock is OF
respectable size and goes we'll. The
case. also made of hardened bread.
displays great talent in design and
execution.
