JAPANESE ASTRONOMY.
Their Queer Day and tho Extraordinary
clock That Measured ~.

rhoir Queer Day and the Extraordinary
clock That Measured ~.
Long before Japan was opened 90
foreigners did the Japanese possess
eminent astronomical knowledge and
"a zodiac of their own. Their year
began with our LIST Of February and
had twelve months. The day was
divided in different manners, tho
military counted, like our sailors, by
watches /" the priests by divisions
wlicS were marked by the striking
of very large bells suspended in their
high temples, q custom which Is still
In vogue, and finally the lay Gle.
ment, tho population, reckoned by
"hOurs."
They began the day, which was Ill.
vidud into twelve hours, at sunrise
and ondcd II after sunrise. Since the
length of tho day Is constantly
varying one each month was, for
simplihcation calculated intoa mean
length, and this length Of day cstab.
lishcd for the whole month. The
japanese ovinced q high degree of
science by these calculations.
Their cloclts were Of two kinds
the 10 called "long clock, with hand
fastened "a tho descending weight,
aud marking time upon an upright
dial, and the "round clock" with
movable dial and fixed hand, or fixed
dial aud movable hand. TO regulate
the division Of hours for the varying
length Of the different months many
very ingenious contriyanccs and con.
suuctions were used. Tho matter
was comparatively easy with tho
long clock
Six dials, shortened according 10
the falling height of tho weight on
hand, were each divided into two
parts, corresponding 10 the length OF
day and night; each Of these parts
into twelve subdivisions. tho hours.
Only six such dials were necessary,
since. by rcvorsion, a dial used for u
summer month could bo used for the
opposite winter month. At the be
ginning Of every month the CORE
spending dial WINS inserted under tho
hand connected with tho falling
weight and replaced by the next fol
lowing Mt the end. Tho greatest
length Of the day was fifteen and tho
shortest nine Of our hours, and.
owing 10 the contracted space Of the
falling weight, 1t had to DO wound
every morning.
10 use the clock during tho night
time, the dial was reversed, and the
weight wound up. II is singular
that the Japanese, IN spite of this
clock furnished with rachct wheel,
pendulum aud weights, did not en-.
ploy the spring as a motive power,
hut simply used for striking on clock
bells The round clocks wcro pro.
vided with weights working upon
levers, for retaining different length
of days. It * said that these con.
siructions were very excellent, and
very reliable clocks were produced

For few moments the scene was nm
alarming one, aud several ladies essay

Major HaDdnurv, United States eo-

We t"g to Ie.er this joke to Doc. a =
