from the opposite side of the street,

turn north, and it was then he got all
he could of his gear upon the side

Conrad Dasypodius undertook the re-
sponsible task, which he completed In
four years. The clock worked well
until 1888, the year of the Great ReyO-
luton, when it struck for the last time.
1t was left undisturpeG for nearly
fifty years, and fell into a dilapidated
condition, mournful to behold. An eff
fort was then made for its restoration.
This was found to be impossible. for
the works were rendered almost useless
by rust and verdigris. Finally,
Schwilgue. an artist and mathemati-
elan of Strassburgs undertook to re-
pair, modify and reinstate the clock.
He commenced the task in 1886. and.
after working four years, completed it
in 1910.
A mythical story is told of him. which
does not rebound to the honor of his
fellow citizens. 1t is said that he had
engaged to construct similar clock for
the capital of one of the Swiss cantons,
and that his ungrateful townsmen put
out his eyes to prevent the fulfillment of
the contract.
Schwilgue placed the mechanism of
the old clock in the old easing, after
skillful improvements and alterations,
where it continues to be a source of
proud satisfaction to the inhabitants of
Strassburg. and an unfailing object of
attraction to travellers from all quarters
of the globe. Besides the remarkable
performance connected with the regular
clock-work. it shows the sidereal time.
the movements of the planetary system
and the procession of the cquinoNes. 1t
is claimed that the mechanism is so per-
fectly elaborated that it marks the 29th
of February in every leap year.
1t is not impossible that the planeta-
rum may have marked the transit OF
Venus on the 9th of December last. for
if the inclination of the orbits of Venus
and the earth to the ecliptic is accurate
ly represented, Venus must sometimes
be at a point directly between the earth
and the sun, and consequently make
transit over bis disk. The possibility of
such an occurrence probably never en-
tered the mind of the ancient Conrad
Dasypodius; much less had he power to
make the accurate planetary arrange
ment to bring about a result, after
lapse of three hundred years, depend
ing on contingencies then unknown. 1t
was not until the seventeenth century
that Kepler so far improved the planet
AIRY tables so as to predict that transit
of Venus would occur on the 9th of De-
cember. 1851.
We have no means of knowing what
improvements Schwilgue made in the
ancient piece of mechanism, but it is
safe to say that absolute perfection was
not attained If Venus did actually
wheel into line between the earth and
sun on the 9th of last December, we are
inclined to think it must have been a
simple coincidence rather than a result
of profound mathematical calculation.
If such were not the case, why did we
hear nothing of the transit of Venus in
1874, nor of the six transits of Mercury
that have taken place since the planeta-
rum was put in order in 1SiO9-Scien-

The Clock Of StraSsburg.

The late transit of Venus curiOu:ly
proved the accurate calculations of the
4 lcient makers of shat famous hOrO-
logical curiosity, the Strassburg clock.
A few days before the transit, the
american Register tells us, visitors to
the cathedral, inspecting in the planeta-
rum attached to the clock, noticed that
one of the small gilt balls representing
Venus was gradually moving toward a
point between the sun and the earth.
ans on the day of the passage the ball
stood exactly between them. Old Con-
rad Dasypodius, the Strassburg mathe-
matician. superintended the manufact-
ure of the clock and its accompanying
planetarium some time between 1571-
"A. the dates differing according to
various authorities: and it is interesting
to note that, after three hundred years
of existence, the clock faithfully full
fills the calculations of its dead inventor.
A correspondent sends the foregoing,
which is quoted from the London
Graphic, expresses doubts of its cor
rectness, and asks for information. One
of our astronomical correspondents
sends US the following notes:
The construction of machine which
could exhibit accurately the motions,
distances and magnitude of the planets.
and could be kept in running order for
three hundred years, is an impossibility.
Such a piece of mechanism would re-
quire the skill of the Great Architect Of
worlds.
The history of the Strassburg clock
and the planetarium connected with 1t
bears witness, like everything else, to
the imperfection of workmanship, and
the frequent necessity of changes and
repairs.
The clock stands in the cathedral, and
dates back to 1852, when it was put up
under the patronage of Berthold de
Buchek, at the time Bishop of Strass-
burg. As time passed on, the clock got
out Of order, and in 1547 three distin-
gu:shed mathematicians were commits
stoned to put 4 III repair. They all
died before the secrk was finished, and

The Goat.

The goat is native of the vacant
lots about the city, and there are lots Of
them.
The goat is omnivorous. He will
goat anything that he sees, and will
seize anything he may goat.
His principal food, however, is play
bill. He is very fond of letters:
Let us honor him for his love of bill
letters.
The young goat is called kid. Kids
are On hand the year round.
The goat is generous to a fault. He
presents couple of horns to everybody
Ne sees.
In the matter of mere cash, the Cash
mere goat is the most famous.
Goats are fond of the outskirts Of
large cities, also hOOp-skirts.
The goat wears beard. 1t is callad q
goatee, though not confined to the goat.
The goat is noted for his bunting,
but he never flags.
The goat is one of the signs of the
zodiac. signifying that he has pro-
pensity to knock things sky-high.
He never gets high himself. That is
to say, never gets over the ba-a-a.
Shakespeare understood the spOn-
taniety of the goat when he said;
Stand not upon the order of your
going, goat at once
The goat is a wide-awake animal.
He is never caught mapping, notwith-
standing the many cases of kidnapping
you may have read about.
For many years the goat was the only
butter known.
Goats love to get on a high rock and
sun themselves. Give them a chance
and they will always seek sunny climb.
The god Pan was a sort of half-gOat:
all goats do not pan out rs well as he
did.
