 Clock
 4 remarkable clock is to be placed on exhibition here in the near future, It has taken 16 years foi the inventor, Carl Julius speath, native of Baden, Germany, to build it. Not until 1884 did he start to build this clock. It is what the inventor calls an astro- nomics aHt aes Al parts of it were made self out of raw materiat er parts are plated with gold o5 ger, the larger parts ore of nickel Tbe case is I feet high, feet wide. and Z feet deep, and IS made out of oak wood, waxed and pol ished On the top, at the left hand, stands a rooster, which crows three times, just before the clock strikes I2. The cocks crow immediately brings ont a cuckoo, which chirps if the sea son picture beneath the roof shows spring, q quail appears and shrieks if it is summer; in autumn a bull jumps ont and bellows, and in winter [ lion rushes forth and roars At Jae top, on the right hand stanes the 8ngel Gabriel. Who blows his horn after the striking of each hour. Tn the ganeI7y beneath the roof stand the teaE uvangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Two statues stand in another apartment and strike the quarter hours. Near the first quarter hour stroke stands Q child. near the second 2 young man. near the third man fully developed and near the fourt6 an old man. These figures are sup posed to Illustrate the four stages Of human existence. In the center of the gallery is the Savior. seated upon the clouds, holding a book and a cross and showing his wounds. The astronomical part of the clock is very elaborate. The eelipses of the sun and moon are shown distinctly and predicted =8eeH- rately. The position Of the stars ana their movements are also shown very beautifully. The milky way, equator. zodiac, and meridians are painted on 3 globe. At the lower right-hand cor ner is aa extra indication Of the date, weekday and month, with the Illus tFatiens after which the weekdays aRa named. The whole clock weighs only s35 pounds, but it's appraised value in Germany is S10.000-New York Jour sal.
