OF the various novelties in clock con-

eral interest, perhaps, than those which
consist of plain glass dial suspended
by fine thread or wire, having the mo-
tive power-an ordina Y watch move
ment-concealed in the central boss Of
the hands or IN the enlarged counter
balance of one of them. Another con-
trivia ce in this line of note consists of
two circular plates of glass, mounted
in a metal frame or border and connect
ed by slender column or foot, to a
pedestal. In these the figures are
marked on the front plate, the hands
being attached To the back plate. which
is cemented to brass rim, toothed as a
crown wheel and driven by a pinion.
the stem of which rises from the works
In the pedestal. The necessary hour
wheels, to give dillerential motion of
the hands are hidden between the cen
er bosses of the hands and the brass
washer on the back plste. Where three
glass plates are used, the short hands
are fixed TO to the second and third
plates, and two pinions drive the tooth
ed rims of these two plates.
