WATER CLOCKS.

The water dock, otherwise the clep-
sydra, seems. unless the EgyptOiogists
find something fresh in that land of
inceSsant discoveries from the most far
mists of time, to have been the first
scientific effort at noting the hours.
A good many people talk glibly about
the clepsydra who neither know its
precise construction nor the nation who
have the credit of constructing it. That
belongs to the Assyrian, and as far
back as at least over 1000 years ago
the clepsydra was used in Nineveh un.
der the sway of the second Sardanapa-
lus.
1t was a brass vessel of cylindrical
shape. holding several gallons OF water
which could only emerge through ont
tiny hole in The side. Thus the trick
ling of the fluid marked a certain
amount of time. and the water was en-
ptied half a dozen times per diem. In
Nineveh there was one at the palace
and one in each principal district
These were all filled by signal from
Waterman on a tower at the moment
of sunrise, and each had an attendant
whose business it was to refill the
clepsydra as soon as it was emptied
the fact being announced by criers
much as in the last century the watch
men drowsily shouted the hours al
night throughout the streets of Lon
don.
Some five centuries later an anony-
NOUS genius made great improvement
by inserting toothed wheels. which. re-
volving, turned two hands on a dial in
clock fashion, thus showing the prog
ress Of time. which on filling to empty
ing averaged two hours and half. In
this shape the clepsydra, which was
then chiefly procurable in Egypt. be-
came introduced to various other ma
tions, including Rome, where 1t flour
ished with various splendid embeilish-
ment until the end OF the empire.
