Big Ben has been stopped three

In its history took place in December,
1861, just before the prince consort
died. when, owing to the failnre Of an
experimental piece of apparatus, the
clock struck a hundred or more
strokes without stopping People who
were unaware Of the cause saw in the
occurrence an omen of the great loss
which shortly afterward befell the ma
tion. Another sensational prank was
played by the clock on April 8, 1885,
when It stopped while Mr. Gladstone
was making his famous speech in fa-
vor of home rule for Ireland This
was by some as an augury that
the bill would not pass, and as regards
the event the prophets were justified.
