This instrument moves a sheet OF

electro-magnet controlled by the great
pendulum. When there is no magnet
ism in the magnet the pen makes a
continuous line, but when the pendu-
lum closes a circuit the magnet pulls
the pen aside, making little marks.

telegraphs in the country connect with
the clock at 1855 a. NJ, and send
ticks, emitting the twenty-ninth sec.

time balls drop in many cities.
