Columns, Water and Other
Methods by Which Ancients
Kept Track Of the Time

Sacred history furnishes the earliest
reference to anything like a fixed and
permanent time measurer. Isaiah
speaks of the dial of Ahaz which went
ten degrees backward and this dial, II
has been conjectured, was a tall and
slender column, which cast shadow
on a series of steps with which IL was
encircled. The Egyptians. too, are
credited with having used their mono
llths, such as Cleopatras needle, as
time measurers.
The Chaldeans had other methods
Of measuring time. They, as well as
the contemporary Hindoos, and very
likely the Egyptians, were acquainted
with the water clock, or clepsydra,
which measured time after the fash
ion of the hour glass, water taking
the place of sand. II is believed that
the Egyptians actually had hour
glasses, for upon one Of the bas-re-
llefs which have come to light after
their long interment of 5000 years or
more is an object which those learned
IN such matters assure us can be moth
ing else than a sand glass.
In principle the clepsydra was moth
ing but a rod floating upon water,
which was slowly dropping from an
orifice in the vessel in which 1t was
contained. Certain divisions were
marked upon the rod, and a fixed
pointer served the purpose of clock

Should Apply Slogan "Do
1t Now" In Letter Writing

The secret of letter-writing as well
as Of other writing for most Of us is
the open secret of using the odds and
ends Of time. If we wait for an hour
or day or a week or month when
we can sit down and write uninter-
ruptedly, we shall probably wait In
vain or else acquire such a habit Of
waiting that when at last the time ar
rives we shall waste It waiting for
some more. Do 1t now. II there is
time for line write line-if for a
page, write a page, II for word, write
the word.

Ten Hens to a Home.

BY keeping a backyard poul-
try flock the family would not
only help In reducing the cost
OF living but would have eggs
OF a quality and freshness which
are often difficult TO obtain.
Each hen In her pullet year
should produce ten dozen eggs.
The average size OF the back
yard flock should be at least ten
hens. Thus each flock would
produce In a year 100 dozens of
eggs, which, at the conservative
value of 40 cents G dozen, would
he worth $40.

KNEW PRINCIPLE OF COMPASS
Chinese Records Show That Instru-
ment Was Familiar to Scientific
Men of the Country.

Ancient Chinese records would seem
70 give the use Of the magnetic needle
for determining direction long and
varied history. The principle Of the
compass, or as the Chinese call it, tho
south-pointing chariot, is stated by Chi
nese authorities alike to have been
discovered during the reign Of Chong
Wang, 1115-1179 b. C. The discovery
was forgotten in few hundred years.
Then Chang Hong, who died in 139 B,
c., reconstructed the device. In sue
ceedlng troubles his model was lost and
forgotten. From the third century A.
d., onward great interest was shown
by the Chinese sages in the illusions
in old writings to the mysterious south
pointing chariot. Attempt after at
tempt was made to solve the riddle,
and then we read in writings of the
eleventh century of the compass being
In use by mariners.
The Chinese south-pointing chariot
was "a magnetized needle suspended on
n thread, so as to give freedom to its
north and south prospectives. 1t seems
not to have been used by the Chinese
for navigation, but solely as an instru'
ment for geographers. 1t is probable
that the Chinese junk captains of
early days found it needless luxury
In their snore hugging and river naW
cation.
