Earliest Methods of Measuring
Time.

The story is that King Alfred had no
better way to tell the time than by burn
ing twelve candles, each ofwhich lasted
two hours; and, when all the twelve
were gone, another day had passed.
Long before the time of Alfred. and
long before the time of Christ, the
shadow of the sun told the hour of the
day, by means of sun-dial. The old
Chaldeans so placed hollow hemis-
phere, with bead in the center, that
the shadow of the bead on the inner
surface told the hour of the day. Other
kinds OF dials were afterward made
with tablet OF wood or straight piece
of metal. On the tablets were marked
the different hours When the shadow
came to the mark IN, it was nine
clock in the morning The dial was
sometimes placed near the ground, or
in buildings. You see, in the picture.
two sun-dals that are on the Gray and
Black Nunnery in Ottawa, the capital
of Canada. The old clock on the east
ern end of Faneuil Hall in Boston was
formerly dial of this kind; and on
some of the old churchtowers in En-
gland YOU may sec them to-day Aside
from the kinds mentioned, the dials
now in existence are intended more for
ornament than use. In the days when
dials were used, each one contained a
motto of some kind, like these: ''Time
flies like the shadow; or, Il tell no
hours but those that are happy"
But the dial could be used only III the
DAYTIME; and, even then, it was worth
less when the sun was covered with
clouds. In order 10 measure the hours
of the night rs well rs the hours of the
day, the Greeks and Romans used the
clepsydra, which means, The water
steals away" A large jar was filled
with water, and Il hole was made in the
bottom through which the water could
gun. The glass, IN those days, was
not transparent No one could see
from the outside how much water had
| escaped. So there were made, on the
inside, certain marks that told the
I hours rs the water ran out; or else 9
stick with notchcs in the edge was
dipped into the water, and the depth OF
/ what was left showed the hour. Some
times the water dropped into another
/ Jar in which Il block of wood was float
ing, the block rising rs the hours went
/ on. Once in Il while, some very rich
man had Il clepsydra that sounded q
musical note at every hour.-EredertC

SO Ter. the arrangement works admirably.
The car or cars with fruit are dispatched
direct through, and ere III position to be
unloaded the first thing in the morning.
The commission men say that the fruit ar
riyes on time and in excellent shape. Here
tofore, when sent by express, there has come
back a continual wall OF complaint that the
fruit arrived in damaged condition, aud in
VarIsly some portion of every shipment
sold at a reduced price by reason Of such
damage, the loss falling on the shipper. as
no compensation nor satisfaction could be
got from the express company. The new
arrangement was undertaken by the sailroad
company at the solicitation OF leading fruit
growers in and about Lawton, and, an order
to make ii success il is desirable that fruit
men should cooperate.
The fruit business around Lawtone has be-
come q matter of some magnitude and i'm
portance. Upwards of twenty tive carloads
of empty berry boxes have been skipped TO
that station this season TO be filled by the
pickers and then sent away to market.
Every available picker is pressed into service
and still there is.C demand for mere. One
grower employs fifty pickers daily and will
ship upwards of 800 bushels of black-caps.
TIE grape crop is promising and will aggre-
gate not less than 400 tons-900.00O to
100000 pounds. One grower estimates
his crop at twenty tons, another at twenty
five tons and SO on for others. The peach
crop will also make a showing this year.
Growers will have from few hundred bas-
kets to several thousand according to size
of orchard and varieties raised. The apple
crop will be unusually large and thus far the
fruit Is fir. Pears and other fruits promise
well

Another lawrence Fire.

On Thursday ~sening last, our sister vii
lage of Lawrence was visited by another fire.
This time It WAS Mr.. Henry T. Rowland who
was the saferer. At about tire hour of
eleven O'Clock, his planning mill situate "be-
tween the bridges vas discovered TO he ON
fire. The flames were SO far advanced that
nothing was saved and it was with some
difficulty that the bridge across the north
channel OF the river was kept from being
consumed The loss is estimated at from
: 1880 TO $1,000 and falls heavily upon the
proprietor, whose financial circumstances
were not such as 10 enabe him To bear the
result of such a fire without crippling his
bosiness very seriously. His engine was
not badly injured and can be repaired, but
tle rest of his machinery, with which he
~as we'll supplied. and all his tools are to-
tai loss. He is plpolly though and says he
will rebuild and be at work again within q
few weeks. We understand that thecltizeus
of the village will render him some pecuniary
aid in establishing his business. His occu-
patton was of such hazardous character that
it was impractice5le for him to carry any
insurance.
