Once upon a time a Persian king IN

summoned a soothsayer and asked him
to interpret the dream.
The soothsayer said, 20 king. the
meaning of thy dream Is that thy

The king was very angry at that
and sent the soothsayer at once 70

First Wheel Clock.


Some say that Archimedes made the
arSt wheel clock as early at 200 B. G.
Others give credit TO Wallingford, who
lived 30 late as the beginning Of the
thirteenth century. But the most per
bet water clocks were, long before the
hner period, furnished with wheels.
% nat the only improvement was the
nbstitution Of a solid body to act a.
q moving weight instead OF water. II
b not to be wondered at that the ap-
plication Of q weight to clocks a. a
moving power should attract 90 little
attention, as water and sand were un-
doubtedly thought more convenient by
contemporary writers. The oldest com
plete clock moved by weights Is prob
ably that sent by the sultan Of Turkey
to Frederick II. in 1922. In the thir-
tenth century many OF the church
steeples IN Italy were furnished with
clocks moved by weights. which struck
the hours. Hele OF Nuremberg is sup
posed TO have constructed the first
watch In 1900, and to him must also
be given the credit Of the spring clock
The fusee was probably invented ir
England about the end Of the six
tenth century. But it was not until
the middle Of the seventeenth century
that the pendulum was first applied tc
clocks by Huyghens.
