SOME CURIOUS WATCHES.

With all our modern improvements we
rarely hear nowadays of watches so fan
ci1uily complex as used to be made for
great folks in the times when all watches
were expensive and comparatively novel.
King George III in the year 1863. received
q present of a watch that was a kind of
mechanical almanac; it pointed out the
date and also had a device to show the
varying lengths of the days, according to
the season 1t was not bigger than other
watches OF the time, but then they were
all what we should call turnips now
The Emperor Napoleon | had a watch
which wound itself Up by means of a
weighted lever. which. at every step his
majesty took. rose and fell. and having a
gathering click to it wound up a racket
attached to the barrel. Pedometers were
afterward made on the same principle
The duke of Wellington had watch
which was given to him by the king of
Spain from which the time could be told
by the touch, the hours being marked by
studs In the back of the case was
placed an index which. when moved for
ward, would stop at the portion of the
nour indicated by the watch and then. by
means of the studs the time could be
approximately computed in the dark
Catherine of Russia had a watch con-
structed by an ingenious peasant which
played a chant and had within it tiny
mechanical figures which, moving about,
were supposed to represent the scene Of
the Savior; the chant was then heard
all over Russia at Easter time. But this
watch was bigger than a hens egg.
