LAMPS THAT ARE CLOCKS.
They Were Commonly Used In the
 Seventeenth CcEtUry.

Of the various eyaIHpics that have been given of early specimens of the clocknlakcr's art not the least interest Ins are tue several types of lamp clocks. One of these was of kind quite coni;.on ill the seventeenth ceH- tury and consisted of d lamp bulmeg placed at tie lidSe of q glass oil re- ceptacle mounted vertically on a suit able standard The oil reservoir haG attached to it Il scale. facing the bfrnes and showing the hours. beginning at i o'clock ill the afternoon, at which time the lamp was to be lighted ill winter and ending at o'clock in the morning The lamp being lfgh.ed. the gradual!! descending level CT the oil, as combu> ton proceeded, marked the hours
 The other device. of later origin dat ing back 10 the beginning of the p.cs ent century, utilized tie s.glse principe It consisted of tive communicating O. chambers. supcrpo>ed by q cioel, dial In one of the cAatltVr' i-as placed! t night lamp to i!iun nate this uia. ana in the other was suspended q tlo;.5 from a cord which pas.,t,! around a small pulley.

What Is .n Editions

What is an edition? Does it consist of 1000 volumes or of 500 or 50 or 52 The word is not technical term like gross" or dozen" CT any like expres- sion bearing a fixed numerical signin. canoe, and there is of course no reason why it should not mean anything from the lowest to the highsst of these mum. bers. according to tho taste and fancy. or it may be the tactics of the particu- lar publisher who employs it. We know what Is meant when we read that a new novel Is "in its twentieth thousand" whereas the statement that it is "in it's forty fifth edition" conveys to us simply no information at all.- London TatleY.
