tween the Knights of Labor ana the Win

This was accomplished at meeting of

Time in India.

Clocks are regarded as curioslties by the
Hindoos. and for this reason half a dozen
or more timepieces are often found in the
apartments Of the wealthy Hindoos. They
are not used as tiniepieces, but simply for
ornament, since the old-fashioned way Of
telling the hour of the day in India, by CAL
culating the number of bamboo len gths the
sun has Travelled above the horizon, is
entirely satisfactory to the natives. In
. the country police stations in India, where
the European division of the hours is OBJ
served, time Is measured by placing in Q tub
Of water Q copperpot in which small hole
has been bored. tits supposedthat it willtake
one hour for the water to leak into the pot
SO as to fill 1t and sink 1t. When the police
man sees that the pot has disappeared he
strikes the hour. Oh bell-likc gong
