A CURIOUS application of the magnet
is described in French journal, the
subject of it being a clock recently pat
ented in France. In appearance the
clock consists of tambourine, on the
parchment head of which is painted
circle of flowers corresponding to the
hour signs of ordinary dials. On ex-
animation, two bees, one large and the
other small, are discovered crawling
among the flowers. The small bee
runs rapidly from one to the other,
completing the circle in an hour; while
the large one takes twelve hours to
finish the circuit. The parchment
membrane is unbroken, and the bees
are simply laid upon it; but two mag
nets, connected with the clock-vork
inside the tambourine, move just under
the membrane, and the insects, which
are of iron, follow them.
