London. constructed a clock which was
rendered perpetual by a cleverly cOnuiveS
attachment which utilized the rise and
fall Of the barometer to supply the necss-
sary energy.
/ The movement OF the mercury actuated
cog wheel in such manner that
whether the mercury rose or fell the
wheel always revolved in the same direc-
ton and kept the weights that supplied
the movement Of the clock always wound
up. The barometer bulb dipped into a
mercury cistern. The cistern hung at

other extremitles 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 a vertical ratchet and the teeth
were 50 arranged that the wheel they
