The Water cloek.

The earliest application OF the clcp-
sydra principle 10 produce motion was
By TsiauS Hung. y. D. 12G. who made
an "orrery" representing the apparent
motion Of the heavenly bodies around
the earth. which was kept going by
dropping water. In the sixth century
Of the Christian era an instrument was
In use In China which indicated the
course Of time by the weight Of water
as It gradually came from the beak OF
bird and WAS received in n vesse'
on balance. every pourd representa-:
a one-hundred:h part of the day OF
twenty-:our hours. About this time
mercury began 10 be employed IN
clepsydras instead OF water.

Hopelessly Handicapped by the Prog
ress of Mankind.
What IS a modern king for IL not to
set pattern of the brave. courteous.
Hrbane gentleman and make a comcly
figurehead for state occasions? If he
fails there of what earthly use Is he?
he cannot govern. He dare not at
tempt to rule. lie is so outcIassed in
professional training by his own gen.
erals that he would never be tolerated
rs an active commander in chief In
time Of war. He is hopalessly below
the requirements Of the age II he
dreams OF leadership in art or learn
Ing. literature or science. II he cannot
make brave showing Of the virtues
and Sraces OF more primitive times
when he gets chance he fails utterly.
The truth is that modern royalty is
handicapped hopelessly by the progress
Of mankind. The age Is far too COM
pick to enable king to play the part
he Is cast for in the great drama OF
the worlds work and struggles. he
would be more than human II he could
live up to the demands OF his birth
and the traditions of his vocation.
Kings were formerly tragedies when
they were evil and great benefactors
when they were both good and wise.
Now they are perilouSly near the bor-
der line Of comedy. which slides easily

Of this shape were used by the Rom

Although It may appear so. the ket-

ment TO manage. for In order to get
each OF the four notes the player has
to turn all the screws and adjust the
parchment anew. For this reason ket-
