PERPETUAL CLOCK
RUN BY BAROMETER
Its Fate When the Chinese Min
lister Saw 1t

In the eighteenth century an in
genious jeweler named James Cox Of
Shoe lane, London, constructed clock
which was rendered perpetual by a
cleverly contrived attachment which
utilized the rise and fall of the ba-
rometer to supply the necessary en-
ergy.
The movement of the mercury actu-
ated a cog wheel in such a manner
that whether the mercury rose or fell
the wheel always revolved in the same
direction and kept the weights that
supplied the movement of the clock al
ways wound up The barometer bulb
dipped into a mercury cistern. The
cistern hung attached to the extreTui-
ties of two rockers to the left end of
one and the right end of the other.
The bulb was similarly attached to
the other extremities of the rockers,
which are thus moved every time there
is a change in the amount of mercury
in bulb and cistern respectively. The
rockers actuated vertical ratchet
and the teeth were so arranged that
the wheel they controlled could only
move in one direction, whether the
ratchet assembled or descended.
The clock itself was an ordinary one.
but of very strong and superior work
manship, and was jeweled with dia-
Il
ing inclosed in a glass case which.
while it excluded dust, displayed the
entire mechanism. The fate OF Cox's
clock was brought to light in a work
called Travels in China" published
In 1904 and written by John Barrow.
In this book it is stated that in the
list of presents carried by the late
Dutch ambassador were two grand
pieces Of machinery that We're part of
the curious museum of Cox" One of
these apparently was this perpetual
clock, and it was taken by the Dutch
embassy to China, where in the jour
ney from Canton to Picking both the
instruments suffered some slight dam
age Efforts were made to repair them
at Picking. but on leaving the capital
it was discovered that the Chinese
prime minister, Hotchangtong. had
substituted two other clocks of very
inferior workmanship and had reserved
Cox's mechanism for himself.-London
