was invented by these heathens and theirs were
the earliest clocks As far back as 1886 B. @. q
gentleman named Hwang-ti discovered the
principle of the water clock or .'clepsydra. ~
1t was very rude instrument, chiefly for
astronomical purposes, and was committed to
the care Of an officer known as the "clepsydra
adiuster." 1t consisted Of two copper vessels,
one above and one below, the former having q
hole in the bottom through which water
percolated into the latter, where there was a
float, the gradual rise of which indicated
periods OF time. Portable contrivances Of this
description were sometimes carried on horse
back.
Instruments constructed on the same princi-
pie were In use among the Chaldeans and
Egyptians at an early period. The invention in
western Asia was Independent Of that in the

At this season, when fashion books are in

rise to number Of jokes and anecdotes, and a

From the New York Press.
In front of the chance Of the Albert Chapel
is the cenotaph TO the late prince consort IL
is an altar tomb by the late Baron Henry de
Triqueti. Its base is Of black and gold Tuscan
marble. At each angle Of the tomb is the figure
of an angel. those at the front bearing shields,
one with the arms of the queen and the other
with those Of the prince consort.
Around the tomb in inches are statuettes,
three on the south side representing Charity,
Piety and Hope, and three on the north Jus

be published in the next Smithsonian report
from which these facts are obtained, suggests
that the Saracens may possibly have anticipated
the Chinese in the invention of these true water
clocks. In the history of the Tang dynasty it
is stated that in Persia at the same period there
was ciepsydra on terrace near the palace,
formed of balance containing twelve metal
balls, one of which fell every hour on bell and
thus struck the hours CORRECTLY 1t il
deemed not unlikely that this instrument
was identical with the celebrated one
which the King of Persia sent in the year SO7
to Charlemange. In S9S the astronomer Tsiang
produced an Improvement on all former in
struments-a machine arranged on a sort Of
miniature terrace, ten feet high and divided
into three stories, the works being in the mid
die. Twelve images of men, one for every
hour, appeared in turn before an opening in
the terrace. Another set of automata struck
the hours and eighths Of hours. These figures
occupied the lowest story. The upper story
was devoted to astronomy, containing an
orrery in motion. Very complex machinery
must have been required. As to the nature Of
the mechanism nothing is known except that it
was kept going by falling water.
Inasmuch az the Arabs had reached China by
sea at the close of the eighth century, some
assistance may have been derived from them
in the construction of this complicated instru-
ment, but in all probability it was wholly Chi
nese. Another timekeeping device OF about
the same period united an orrery and clepsydra
and wsg formed in one part like water lily,
while in another were images of dragon, q
tiger, bird and tortoise which struck every
skin" on drum. while a dozen puppets
sounded the hours on a bell. The machinery Of
still another was moved by water wheel the
sun and moon, stars and planets, being made
to revolve from east to west around a figure Of
the earth. while images of men struck the hours
and parts of hours. The strokes were always
the same. because the Chinese do not count the
hours, but have names for them.
No further improvement Of great interest is
recorded until the close Of the Yuen dynasty.

Since the introduction of European clocks in
China clepsydras have fallen into disuse The
only one, perhaps. in the empire now is In a
watch tower in the city of Canton Ii is ofthe
simplest form. but it is said TO keep accurate
time. The Chipeee automata, SO much ad-
mired, are mere limitations of foreign automatic
as to their inside works. The Chinese have
never accomplished anything in the way of
making sun dials. These devices were intro
duced to them by the Mohammedans. There
Is one In the imperial observatory at Pekin
more than four feet in diameter Smaller sun
dials often met with in the public Offices. ali
of them made under the direction OF Romish
missionaries or their pupils.
From remote antiquity a family named
Wang, residing in Hiu-ninghien, Ms had the
exclusive manufacture Of pocket compssses,
with which sun dials are often combined In
most Of these thread attached to the lid of
the instrument serves to throw the shadow.
They are in use in all parts of the empire One
kind, employed by clockmakers for adjusting
their timepieces, is marked with notches, one
for each month in the year, TO give the thread a
different angle for every month. Time is often
kept with tolerable accuracy in the shops and
temples by burning incense sticks Of sawdus,
carefully mixed with a small proportion of glue
and evenly rolled into cylinders two feet long
These sticks are divided into lengths for the
hours and when lighted they are consumed
very slowly without fame. One Of them lasts
half a dAy
Hour glasses are scarcely known IN China.
Clocks and watches Of very antique appearance
are often met with-specimens OF original mod
els hardly TO be found in any other country.
Some of these watches resemble the ancient
"Nuremburg eggs" but their workmanship
must be superior, else they would not be in OPP
GRAFTON at this late day. Chinese gentlemen
have fashion of carrying two watches. which
they are anxious shall ALWAYS agree perfectly.
The Chinese divide the twenty-four hours OF
the day into twelve parts. not numbered, but
each designated by a character. The same
Characters are applied to the months of the
year. Each hour is divided into eich. "kih, "
one kin being equal to what We call a quarter OF
al hour, or fifteen minutes.
