A Remarkable Clock.

One of the most remarkable of clocks
has just been constructed in London for
a banking establishment. 1t is on the
t%wenty-four hour principle. and is nota.
BILE as possessing probably the simplest
method which has yet been resorted to
for Indicating time according to the new
enumeration. The clock in question
has only one hand, and the figures
around are placed as heretofore. In
stead, however. of indicating the hours
they indicate the minutes only, which
are marked from five to sixty. The
hours are shown on a sunk dial revolv-
ing under the upper dial. aspace being
left in the upper dial in which the next
hour figure comes forward instantane-
ously upon the minute hand, complet-
ing its circuit of sixty minutes-that is,
in a word, the solitary hand marks the
minutes, and the sunk space shows the
hour.-N. Y. San.

KING LUDWIG.

h Crazy Monarch's Magnificent and
Costly sleixhs.
In the Frankfurter Zeitung of recent
date appears an interesting account o.
three sledges belonging to the King of
Bavaria, which are employed by him in
his hight excursions during the winter
in the Bavarian Highlands and which
have lately been under repair at Mu-
mich. One is a magnificent vehicle, of
colossal Dimensions, capable of be-
ing used either as carriage or
sledge, and quite too large
for transport by rail. It. is a.
closed vehicle, mostly richly gilt, and
upholstered in blue velvet. A group of
genii support a sort of canopy, COM
posed of golden crowns. The others
are smaller, designed by Munich artists
in the time of the Louis Quatorze
style. The ornamentation is so profuse
that only three small spaces were left on
the panels, which have been filled by del
ieate NEUROLOGICAL pictures, painted by
Won Pechmann, of Munich. The front of
twelve years OLD is formed by a gigan-
tic shell, supported by Tritons, with lit
tie Cupids, seated on its edge, carry
back wreaths to the royal occupant. All
the sledges are drawn by four horses,
having positions. 1t will easily be un-
derstood that such beautiful and deli
cate pieces of workmanship must suffer
considerably in their night drives over
rough mountain roads, covered deep
with ice and snow. And so they have
to be sent regularly to Munich every
summer for repair.
On the present occasion twas the wish
of the King that they should be all fitted
with the electric light. But this was not
possible, in the case of the largest
sledge, for the want of means to place a
sufficient amount of accumulators. II
is a queer fancy that forbids all ordinary
eyes to see these remarkable vehicles,
which are reserved to dazzle the peas.
ants of the Bavarian Alps as they flash
past in the late winter nights like some
of the rhantoms of German legends.
