The Voice Of a Clock.

Why do We always regard a clock as
saying tick, took," and not tick,
tick" like watch? Is there really any
distinction between the alternate
sounds. or is it a matter Of phychol-
ogy? Attention to the problem has
recently been given by DR.. Rosen5ach,
Q Berlin psychologist. whose conclu-
sions are thus quoted In the American
inventor: The general opinion seem.
ed TO be that it was merely a matter of
chance whether the tick accompanied
the left and the took the right OF the
pendulum or vice versa. The first inn
portant discovery DR.. Rosenbach made
was that the tick always marks the
moment when the pendulum reaches
the extreme point Of denotatlon from
the perpendicular on its beat to the
right. while the reaching OF It's swing
limit to the left is marked by the took
IN pendulums of all lengths. He found
that owing to the fact that the anchor

unaer which its arms strike the cogs OF
the wheel are not the same for both
arms. One of the arms OF the anchor
strikes against a cog of the wheel
moving upward. in a direction opposed
to that OF the anchor, while the other
arm strikes against the cog while it is
moving downward. nearly in the same
direction as the anchor. The result of
the unequal conditions which the TWO
arms OF the anchor engage the cogs OF
the escapment wheel is, naturally. an
acoustic difference In the sounds pro-
duced by the contact OF the parts"

where water was easily procured; the
putting out of the fire would have been
a tough job. The parties assisting in
stopping the fire were: NJ. L. Chand-
Ter, George West, Henry RObidoux,
Viii Butt, Ole Stevenson, John Shreve,
Charles Locke and Henry Resemblance.
How the fire originated is a matter of
speculation, as no one was seen in the
locality. Mr.. Chandler thinks that
possibly a bottle in the grass, under a
bright sun, may have focused the sun
beams and started The FIRE, as such
cases have been known TO occur.
