The AtmOspheric Clock.

The atmospheric clock-a sort of de-
vice that goes of itself-is not inaptly
termed perpetual hourglass. In ap-
pearance it is like long thermometer
with the bulb of mercury at the bot
tom. The glass tube is about three
eighths of an inch in diameter and Sc
cured to the frame by two bands through
which it passes easily. The divisions Of
time are marked on each size of the
tube. inside the glass tube is smaller
tube shaped very much as an hourglass.
Some mercury and scrap Of blotting
paper for the purpose of taking up any
moisture that might gather in the tube
are placed at each end.
The mercury in the top end Of the
tube is placed opposite the mark of the
proper time and falls to the bottom Of
the tube exactly as the time passes.
When it has run out from the top, the
frame can be turned and the mercury

loose coat and short and very baggy

usually armed with a muzzle loader or
standard, both equally harmless weap-
