Worlds Best Timekeeper.

The best timekeeper in the world is said to be the electric clock in the basement of the Berlin observatory, which was installed sby Professor Foerster in 1865.
 It is enclosed in an alright glass cylinder, and has frequently run for periods of two and three months with an average daily deviation of only fif- teen one-thousandths of a second.
 Astronomers are making efforts to improve even this and to secure ideal conditions for the clock by keeping it not only in an alright case, but in an underground vault, where neither changes of temperature nor of baro. metric pressure shall ever affect it, Electrical World and Engineer.

REGENT WATER sURvEYa
New Zealand Lakes Not Large. but
 Found to Be Very Deep.

 The government of New Zealand set lot of men at work a while ago col lecting facts about the fresh-water lakes of New Zealand. One part of the work was the taking of soundings for the purpose of determining the form of the lake basins. These surveys have covered all the more important lakes. They are all in the north island except two, which are nestled below the snow and glaciers of the New Zealand Alps in the south island. The surveyors have discovered a remarkable fact about these two mountain lakes.
 They had to splice their sounding wire to reach the bottom in each of these lakes. Though they are not very large sheets of water, they prove to be among the deepest lakes in the world.
 Lake Manapouri is about twice as large as Manhattan Island. It is long and narrow and not remarkably deep excepting in one area embracing near ly three square miles, every bit Of which is over 1,4OO feet beneath the surface.
 The greatest depth found was 1,4oS feet. The highest and deepest slopes of the mountains hem in this deepest depression of the lake bottom.
 Lake Wakatipu is 40 miles long and about five times as large as Manhat- tan Island. It's greatest depth is 1,242 feet, in which respect the other lake beats it; but the remarkable thing about Wakatipu is that few lakes reach so great an average depth. Tne entire water surface, covering IF square miles, is on an average TOT feet above the bottom of the lake.
 Lake Superior is the deepest of our lakes, but it's average depth is only four-sevenths that of Lake Wakatipu. The New Zealand lake has double the average depth of Lakes Michigan and Ontario, three times that of Huron and ten times that of Erie.
 Some persons may think these lakes are so deep because they are hemmed in by mountains. But probably none of the Alpine lakes of Europe is so deep as these two fresh-water sheets. Possibly the only inland bodies of wa ter surpassng them in greatest depth are the Caspian, with 2,40O feet, Tan ganika, with 2,100 feet, and Baikal, with 4,550 feet.
