THE WATER CLOCK.

The earliest application Of the clep-
sydra principle to produce motion was
by Tsiang Hung, A. D. 1876. 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 ii gradually came from the beak Of
bird and was received in vessel
on a balance, every pound representing
a one-hundredth part of the day of
"a hours. About this time mercury be-
Ean to be employed in clepsydras in
