UTAH SCHOOL OF MINES.
Unique Display by the State Uni
versity.

An innovation this year is the 1ex-
hibit of the state school of mines Of
the University of Utah. II has been
frequently noted that in state whose
chief industry is mining the exhibits
from the mines have been meager. TO
make up for this lack. the university
has jumped into the breach and this
year is giving a creditable exhibition
OF what it is doing along the lines
of mining.
On desirable spot near the horti-
cultural building a concentrator has
been set up, together with a blast fur
mace, chemical laboratory. an assay
ing outfit and an electrical depart
meTft. This exhibit is in charge OF in
structors, who explain what the school
is doing in this important branch OF
instruction

OLDEST CLOCK IN ENGLAND.
Erected In 1920 In One Of the Towers
Of Peterborough Cathedral.

Peterborough cathedral has the old
est working clock in England. 1t was
erected about 1920 and Is probably tho
work Of a monastic clockmaker. 1t Is
the only one now known that is wound
up over an old wooden wheel. This
wheel is about twelve feet in circum-
ference. and the galvanized cable,
about 300 feet in length, supports a
leaden weight Of three hundredweight.
which has to be wound up daily.
The clock is said to be Of much more
primitive construction than that made
by Henry de Nick for Charles V. Of
France in 1870, The clock chamber
Is in the northwest tower, some 100
feet high. where the sunlight has not
penetrated for hundreds of years, and
the winding is done by the light of a
candle.
The gong is the great tenor bell of
the cathedral. which weighs thirty
two hundredweight, and it is struck
hourly by an eighty pound hammer.
The going and the striking parts of
the clock are sone yards apart. com
munication being by a slender wire.
The clock has no dial. The time is
shown on the main wheel Of the es-
capement, which goes round once in
two hours.-London Chronicle.
