perfect water-clocks were, long before
the latter period, furnished with whels,
so that the only improvement was the
substitution of solid body to act as a
moving weight, instead of water. 1t is
not to be wondered at that the appli-
cation of a weight to clocks as a NOV
ing power should attract so little atten-
ton, as water and sand We're und0ubt-
eddy thought more convenient by con-
temporary writers. The Oldest COM
plete clock moved by weights is proba-
bly, that sent by the Sultan Of Turkey
to Frederick II in 1892. In the thir-
teenth century many of the church
steeples in Italy were furnished with
clocks moved by weights, which struck
the hours. Hele of Nuremberg is sup
posed 10 have constructed the first
watch in 1900; and to him must also be
given the credit of the spring clock
The fusee was probably invented in
England about the end of the sixteenth
century. But it was not until the mid
die of the seventeenth century that the
pendulum was first applied to clocks
by MISREPRESENTATION Electrical Age.

EVOLUTION OF THE CLOCK.
Remarkable Contrivances Used Before

Remarkable Contrivances Used Before
Our Modern Timepieces.
A primitive form of sundial probably
furnished the earliest systematic meth
cd of measuring time. Instruments for
marking the lapse of time are found in
both the Bible and Homer. The Chi
nese made use of gnOmons probably fif-
teen centuries before Christ. There
We're many kinds of sunlials employed
by the Greeks and other nations. The
Romans used obelisks, to which good
gnomons were applied. Both the Ro-
mans and Greeks employed men and
women to announce The hours, as indi-
Gated by the public gnomons. There
was a ring-dial in the large ship of
Hero. Vitruvius describes the hodO-
meter, in use by Grecian navigators,
which was constructed with wheels,
and seems to have been the fore run
ner of the modern clock. But he does
it so scantily that it seems probable it
was not long in popular favor. AS sun
dials were of no use at night or in
cloudy weather, the need of something
better gave the ancients the water
clock. 1t has been proved that Chal-
deans and Egyptians made use Of
these, The clepsydra is perhaps the
earliest form Of water-clock, The prin-
ciple of this instrument was very sim
pie. The water issued drop by drop
through a small orifice, falling into a
receiver in which light floating body
marked the height of the water as it
rose. Later the time was marked by a
dial with a hand governed by a float
Centuries after this some very ingen-
ius Water-clocks were made by the
monks Of Jerusalem.
The Egyptians, the Persians and the
Aztecs of America reCkoned their day
to begin from sunrise, and divided it
into four intervals, determined by the
rising and setting Of the sun, and its
passage over the meridian. Our own
uniform hours of sixty minutes each
could scarcely have come into use until
something like the wheel-clCcS was in
vented. The ancient sundial represent
ed hours of a length varying with the
seasons, and the water-clock was add
enty minutes each, to suit the chang
ing length of day and night. Hour
glasses, originally called clepsammia,
were notifications of form of clepsy-
dra, sand taking the place of water
Alfred the Greats candle-clock was
made in this manner: He procured
seventy-tWo pennyWeights of wax,
which was made into six candles, each
twelve inches long, with the divisions
distinctly marked. These lit one after
the other, lasted twenty-four hours
They were tended by the kings chap
lains. In order to protect the candles
from the wind Alfred finally fashioned
the first lanthorn.
Some say that Archimedes made the
first wheel-clock as early as 200 &. G.
Others give the credit to Wallingford,
who lived as late as the beginning of
the fourteenth century. But the more

yeTer.on as an Inventor.

Not many people know that Thomas
jefferson was great inventor. His in
ventions were all OF articles of every
day use. He devised a three legged
folding camp stool that is the basis of
all camp stools of that kind today. The
stool he had made for his own use was
his constant companion on occasions OF
outings. The revolving chair was his
invention. He designed light wagon.
4 copying press was devised by him
and came into general use. He also in
vented an instrument for measuring
the distance he walked. A plow and a
hemp cultivator showed that his
thoughts were often on agricultural
matters. His plow received a gold med
al in France in 1900. Jefferson never
benefited financially by his inventions.
but believed they should be for the use
of every one without cost.-St. Louis
