There are parts Of the Roman Cath
Ole world where timepieces in any
form are very few and far between,
and the priests and their people meas
ure any small period of time by going
through some religious exercise. They
will, for example, allow their tea to
draw while they can repeat mis-
erere" very slowly. In the same way
some of the Protestant peasants Of
the Rhine province will measure the
proper time for boiling an egg by re-
peating the Lords Prayer. In this
country at one time it was a very
common thing to speak Of any aston
or occurrence continuing fer ne

BIG BEN is MOST ACCURATE
Great Clock In Westminster Tower

keeper.

The Big Ben clock, at London, Eng
land, is perhaps the most perfect time
keeper in the world. When it was
under construction rather more than
half century ago, the then Astron-
omer Royal (Sir George Airy, who
was consulted regarding its mechan-
ism, declared that it was impossible
to design a clock subject to big
ranges of temperature and other ex-
ternal causes of error that would keep
time within four or five seconds. The
late Lord Grimthorpe (then Mr.. F.
Beckett-Denison), however, who was a
famous horologist, thought otherwise
and he designed specially for the
Westminster clock his gravity escape
ment, to which it owes its marvellous
good going.
An electric signal is automatically
sent by Big Ben once day to Green
wich, and with monotonous sameness
Sir G. B. Airy and his successor, in.
their annual records, have placed on
record the irreproachable behavior of
the great clock. On most days it is
almost dead true, and on barely half
a dozen days in any year does it vary
as much as three seconds from accur-
ate Greenwich mean time. Strictly
speaking, Big Ben is the name not OF
the clock, but of the Alton hour ball,
the designing and casting of which
were also superintendent by Lord
Grimthorpe.
