A clock is to be seen at Brussels
which comes as near tobe perpetual
motion machine as is likely ever to
be invented, for the sun does the
winding. The method By which it
works is described in the Optician.
A shaft exposed to the solar rays
causes an up draft of air, which sets
fan in motion. The fan acts upon
a mechanism which raises the weight
of the clock until it reaches the top,
and then puts a break on the fan
till the weight has gone downa little,
when the fan is again liberated, and
proceeds to act as before
AS long as the sun shines frequent
ly enough, and the machinery does
not wear out, the clock win keep
going.

asleep, but about midnight he awoke,
md on becoming thoroughly conscious,
perceived that he was straining his
ears to listen to the steady and con-
tinuous ticking of the death-watch in
The wall. He smiled TO find that so
slight think had awakened him, and
composed himself to sleep again; bat
to his annoyance he found it impossi-
ble to do so.
He listened to the sound OF the
1eath-watch with an indetlnable but
constantly increasing uneasiness, and
when, after time, he heard the dis

and not little disguised to find his
heart beating with unnatural rapid

The gentleman lay awake for the
remainder of the night, uneasy, dis

to reason himself into a saner frame
Of mind. He rose in the morning

Population OF India.

The last Indian census shows that
in the last ten years the natural
growth of India's population has
been 100000. The population now
numbers 2s6, 600, 900. One can hardly
appreciate what these figures mean
except by comparison. India contains
more people than all Europe, exclu-
siye of Russia. Its provinces are as
populous as great European states.
Bengal contains population larger
than that of the United States and
all British North America, and fully
one-ffth of the entire human race
lives upon this little peninsula jut-
ting out from the coast of Asia into
