Clocks of Bygone Days.

From the New York Herald.
In the town of Schramberg. in the
Black Forest district of Wurtemberg,
Germany, where one of the chief indus
tries is that of clock making. there has
recently been established an interest
ing museum OF timepieces. The coll
lection displays the gradual develop
ment in the making of clocks for many
centuries.
Among the Curiosities are many OF
great historical value. There is an
alarm clock constructed in the year
1880 for the use of travellers. In form
it resembles a lantern. and the interior
Is designed to hold a lighted candle.
The candle is slowly pushed upward
by spring, which also controls tha
mechanism of the clock. A little pair
of shears clips the wick of the candle
automatically every minute to regula tc

movable sides, so that the sleeper Is

Among the curiosities is Japanese
saw clock. The clock itself produces
the motive power by descending a saw
formed strip of metal the teeth OF
which operate the wheel of the clock

hand is attached to a weight, which
sinks once in twenty-four hours. The
time is indicated by a hand on the
perpendicular scale.

shortly before daylight to-day. killed five
men. and seriously injured seven others.
a fire, which broke out following the ex-
plosion, added to the horror. The mill
was partly wrecked, and the entire plant
was compelled to close down.
The list of killed and injured is as fol-
lows:
Killed-David Matthews, a heater, mar

John Warmnsk, a heater; John Evans,

tured, and burned all over the body,
The explosion occurred just as the night
force was leaving and the day force was
coming on duty, so that there were only
a few men in the mill at the time. If it
had happened a half hour later the list
OF dead and injured wouhl have been
appalling.
1t occurred in the 1i-inch department,
and the conclusion was terrific Buildings
were shaken a mile away, and dust filed
the air for two or three blocks. 1t en-
tered open windows and nearly sufocated
persons who were aroused by the roar
and the shock.
Immediately following the explosion the
wreckage took fire, and this added TO the
difficulty encountered in rescuing the
burned and mutilated victims.

but the occupants escaped with a bad
fright. This flying portion Of the boiler
tore down the central supports of the
