uRANDfATHERS CLOCK
Clock Made by Rutland Nan to Last Three
Hundred Years.

II. s. Rule of Rutland has ju COM
oleted for a New York man u grand
father. clu,,<, his own handicraft with
the exc - ions of the works themselves
which. made of solid mahogany and
beautifully finished.
This clock stands eight feet and four
inches from the floor to the topmost
point of the cabinet which encloses the
works. The design is not given over
to bizarre effects but is on the contrary
severely plain with the exception OF
the very top which is somewhat elab-
Grated. Only in absolutely essential
parts, such as hinges, does any b ass
appear except where the weights and
pendulum ire visible.
Mr. Rule kept record of the hours
he worked upon the clock, and finds
the total 254, Of which fifty.four hours
were given to the finishing work.
Mr. Rule says he feels warranted In
saving that the clock, with ordinary
care about oiling, etc., will ISk 300
years.
