ASTRONOMICAL CLOCKS.
Many Precautions Are Taken to insurs
Their Accuracy.

Many Precautions Are Tsksr to insure
Thsir Accuracy.
To the average person an astronomi-
cal clock is q complicated affair, CIV
ing the date. day OF the week. phases
Of the moon and other miscellaneous
information The facts are far other
wise. There IL nc clock 30 simple as
that Of the astronomer. Even the con-
venient plan Of having the hour and
minute hands mounted at the same
center Is abandoned. because IL makes
q more Intricate form Of wheel work
necessary, says the Louisville Courier
Journal The observatory clock has a
separate dial for each hand, the cen
tiers OF the second hand, minute hand
and hour hand being in straight line
and equally distant from each other.
To secure accuracy further precau-
lions are taken. Only men who have
attained worldwide fame in mechan-
zeal construction are employed. The
thermometer must be mounted. not on n
wall that vibrates, but upon a strong
pier Of masonry having a solid founda-
ton: also 1t IL best placed underground
In q cellar TO secure for II tempera-
turs az nearly uniform as possible. for
clocks do not run quite the same In hot
weather ss they do In cold.
BY adjusting a metal that has the
singular property Of contracting under
heat It is possible 10 overcome the va
Ration In q measure. but the astrono-
mer prefers 10 provide for his clock a
temperature practically the same the
year round. The going Of a fine clock
is further affected, strange as It may
seem. by barometric pressure. The
running Is different when the barome-
ter is high from what It Is when low;
hence the best clocks are now fnciosed
In air tight cases 10 protect them from
outside barometric changes.
