The exodus be- gan about 9 o'clock, and it did not cease till only the incapacitated and those who were forced to stay at home had the city to themselves.

ANCIENT TIMEPIECES.
variods Methods of Measuring Time Prior
to the Invention of Clocks.

variotfs Methods of Measuring Time Prior
to the Invention of Clocks.
We need do no more than allude to
the habit after the reformation, and
especially in Scotland, of preachers
measuring their discourses by the hour
glass in the pulpit. These marked an
hour exactly. Those first made in
Charlemagne's day ran for IL hours.
Alfred the Great hit upon a method of
measuring time, which shows that there
was no Saxon one, though very proba-
bly, some of the monasteries (then the
only homes Of knowledge) were ac-
quainted with water clocks and hour
glasses,'if not by practical knowledge
at any rate by hearsay.
However, the kingdom in general fol-
lowed AIfred's plan, which, though in
genious, necessarily lacked anything
like the accuracy of the other inven-
tions. Yet the kings idea was hailed as
a wonderful effort of genius, which, for
such an era by comparison with the
general ignorance, it was. As every
schoolboy gin this case literally knows,
Alfred marked time by flashlights. A
long existence, by the way, has the rush.
light enjoyed. seeing that middle aged
people still remember its use in the nurs-
cry at night and the reflection Of the
circular holes in the tall metal shades
on the ceiling.
Alfred, says an ancient authority,
"that he might properly know how
the hours passed, made use of burning
tapers which were marked with lines
and fixed in lanthorns, an expedient in
vented by himself. " So, by the way,
were in 500 the lanterns of scraped
hern which still some old fashioned
rustics prefer to glass. But tapers,
however. were then very expensive.
The king might himself use these, but
probably the rushlfght was used by peo-
pie in general. london Standard.
