Their Origin is Unknown.

Alfred the Great invented a can

proportional that they would burn
down three inches per hour.
Plato, the philosopher, invented a
clepsydra, which caused a flute to
play at the end of every hour. 80
that the time could be told at
night.
Haroun Raschid sent to Char
lemagne as q present a clepsy-
dra in which the falling water
opened little door at the end of
every hour and caused a number Of
balls, corresponding with the num-
Der of the hour, to fall upon a brass
drum. At noon and at midnight
twelve miniature horsemen pranced
forth and shut all the doors for a
new round.
After the clepsydras came the
gravity clocks, in which a weight is
made to turn a system of wheels
which move the hands over the dial.
1t was only after this invention. the
date of which is not known. that it
became possible to measure accu-
rately such small intervals as sec

began to be used in Europe in the
fourteenth century, and some think
they were in use several centuries
earlier

tered Immediately. The rapidity of
the outflow varies with the depth
of the water; consequently the wa
ter will descend farther in a given
time at the beginning than at the
end To avoid this either the dis
lance between the marks must be
carefully varied, or else the vessel
must be made in the shape of an
inverted cone, smaller at the bot
tom than at the top, so that as the
pressure diminishes the quantity of
water that must flow out in order
to lower the surface equally in
equal intervals is proportionately
diminished.
The ancients succeeded very well
in overcoming this difficulty, and
they made clepsydras Of many in
genious forms, which could even be
employed for astronomical obser-
vations. The hOurglass is a kind Of
clepsydra in which sand takes the
place of water.
