FIRST clock known to the world was
placed IN the tower OF san Eustorgio,

The greatest establishment and id

who iocked to see the timepiece. In
1874 a clock was installed In the pal
ace OF the mobiles at Padua. This was
wonder OF mechanism indeed. for
besides indicating the hours II showed
the course Of the sun. the revolutions
sf the planets. the various phases OF
the moon. the months and the fetes
OF the year.
The period OF the evolution from the
clock TO the watch was seventy-one
years-not so very long. all things con-
sldered-and the record OF the hrst
watch Is 1880. A half century later
an alarm clock made Its appearance.
This, we are told. was looked upon
by the people OF that age as "un In
strument prodigieux."
The fortunate possessor OF this clock
was Andrea Alciato. councillor Of
Milan. The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded a
bell ut a stated hour. and at the same
time a little wax candle was lighted
