SOME CURIOUS CLOCKS

A curious astronomical clock Is tc De
seen in Exeter cathedral Below the
works IS a cabinet which when open
ed displays a miniature belfry with
ringers, and the background is paint
| ed to represent a number OF old build
| ings in Exeter This was built by
LoVelace, took three years to construct
and rivals the famous clocks OF
| Wimborne Minister and Wells cathe-
dral.
At Wimborne is an old clock that
has in the center globe which repre-
sents the earth and the sun and the
moon, and the phases of the latter are
variously depicted. The clock still
| goes and the works which are in
room above. cause a figure outside
the tower to strike the quarters. This
was the work of a Glastonbury
| monk early in the fourteenth CEN
fury
Wells has a wonderful clock, one Of
| the oldest in the world, which dates
from 1895. When it strikes the hour,
says the Queen, four knights on horse
back go riding round, and the seated
man kicks two small bells with his
heels, as he has been doing every 10
minutes for nigh on six centuries. This
clock was the work of Peter Light
foot.
There is a clock at Windsor cas-
tie known as the globe clock. The
globe is enameled in royal blue;
vertical bar shows the hours and a
scythe the minutes. The Isaac Har-
hrecht clock is on view at the British
museum, and two clocks we'll worth a
visit may be seen at the Soane mu-
scum. The upper works of one o. these

20 be wound only once in every two
years.
Interesting old clocks are to be found
in private houses. One of these may
be seen at Lutterworth. This is long
clock, which has an oval face, hand
that points to the days of the week,
completing the round in seven days,
another which shows the true dead
beat, and third which points to the
chimes and quarters. On the upper
part of the clock is a small orchestra,
which includes flute, cello and two
violins, and boy and girl and also
three singers The hours and the
quarters are struck, every three hours
tune is played three times over, while
the three figures beat time and the
boy and girl dance to the music
