\ Clock OF Birds,

The ingenuity OF the scientist who
established a clock of flowers" by
planting in regular specimens whose
c1rro!la> opened at specified hours,
has been matched by a German who
has composed a clock Of birds" This
is especially a night clock. The birds
and hours Of their songs are as fol-
lows: The chafinch from half past
n in the morning until two: the
titmouse from two to half past two:
the quail from half past two to three:
the redstart from three to half past
three. the Ousel from half past three
10 four: the warbler from four to
half past four: the marsh tit from
half past four TO five: the sparrow at
five. 1t is a curious incident, that the
most celebrated Of the birds. whose
song has always served to mark the
hour. is missing in the list. 1t is
not yet near day: it was the nightin-
gale. and not the lark. 1t

long before the dawn of history. the
apparently immaterial and, so to
speak, ghostly nature Of the exciting
cause of the sensation of smell, led.
it would seem. step by step. to the
use of incense in the service Or the
gods.
When it began to be felt that tn
ancestral or other spirit that had TO
e appeased was hardly of a nature
to consume the material food or
drink offered to it TO appease
its wrath or to gain its favor,
an easy step Of reasoning sug-
gested that this food or liquid would
be more acceptable in the form OF
smoke or vapor. The gods had be-
come of too spiritual a nature actual
ly TO eat the food. but they would
still require some form Of nourish-
ment, ard what could be more suit
able 70 them than the fumes OF
burned flesh? This is the cOncep-
ton that is prominent, or. at all
events, survives, in the descript ons
Of sacrifices in the "Illiad," where
the thick clouds from the burning
thighs OF the slaughtered oxen, and
from the fat in which they were
wrapped, ascend to Olympus and
cheer the assembled gods. 1t was
but a step from this to the burning
Of fragrant woods and rosin to pro-
vide a less gross qualification. More
over, by the consumption in their
honor of these precious spices and
fragrant gums, obtained at so much
cost and trouble, another motive OF
sacrifice was satisfied.
The Egyptians in the preparation
of their mummies had need of a vast
store Of spices and aromatics. This
need, no doubt, was the origin OF
their trade with Southern Arabia
the land of Punt-a trade which at
tanned TO great importance under the
eighteenth and nineteenth dynasties.
That, in search of arOmatics, there
was also a more northern trade route,
which must in early days have
brought them into contact with the
Hebrews, we have good proof. The
