One Of tho attractions Of the beautiful Monte

which is usually an object Of interest to groups

OF this curious aud artistic piece of mechanism
IS given IN the Theological BericIC:
The case is composed of three branches IN
rustic work. 1t stands upon a square stone
block surrounded on its four sides by beautiful
leaf plants, ivy, aud grasses. The stone foot
stands within a water basin. The upper part
OF the case contains a dial covered with glass
on each Of its four sides Upon the cupola
stands staff, which carries the two bells for
the full hour and the quarters. At its upper
end is small yane in the shape Of a battle. axe.
Tho frame for the wheel and the levers Of tho
striking work, in which a small centrifugal
pendulum takes the place of the hy, is close
underneath the dial. Al the back Of the clock
frame oscillates the second pendulum, and be-
tore tins rs located mass Of rustic work. SINH
Jar 10 large coral growth. from which issue
small jets Of water at regular intervals Two
OF the upperInOst coral branches are water con-
duit pipes, from which flows alternately, at
each swing Of tho pendulum a small quantity
Of water into two lcailike spoons underneath.
imparting 10 them an up and down motion.
The peculiar motive power furnished by the
water keeps the clock i'm motion by a very re-
markablc escapcmcnt, 50 that il never requires
winding. The construction Of the clock Il due

pieces Of art work.
