Ing time we're in use from the earliest
ages and clocks of one kind or an
other were made in Europe before the
discovery Of America. Brass wheel
clocks with weights, standing six
feet high, such as are now called
grandfather clocks, we're common in
England and Germany long before the
revolutionary war The first clockma-
ker in the United States was Eli Ter
ry, who made his first clock with
wooden wheels in 1892, and afterward
made a great many, and they were
good timekeepers. In 1907 he con-
tracted to deliver 1000 wooden wheel
movements to certain firm, and 1t
took him three years to fill the order.
Seth Thomas, once well known Yam
kee Clockmaker, learned his trade
with Eli Terry. Brass wheel clocks
were first made in the United States
in 1897.

Some Of Continents Attitudes.

The maximum difference in eleva-
ton of land in the United States is
14,777 feet, according to the United
States geological survey Mount
Whitney, the highest point, is 1851
feet above sea level and point in
Death Valley is 276 feet below sea
level, These two points, which are
both in California, are less than nine
ty miles apart This difference is
small, however, as compared with the
figures for Asia. Mount Everest
rises 29,002 feet above sea level,
whereas the shores of the Dead sea
are 1920 feet below sea level, a total
difference in land heights of 30,292
feet. Mount Everest has never been
climbed. The greatest ocean depth
yet found is 32,088 feet, at point
about fifty miles north of the Island
of Mindanao, in the Philippine islands.
The ocean bottom at this point is
therefore more than eleven and a
half miles below the summit Of Mount
Everest.
