Measurements of Time
by Old Water-Clocks

An early means adopted for the
measurement of short periods of
time was by noting the quantity Of
water discharged through a small
orihce in the containing vessel, says
an article in the Montreal Family
Herald. If the vessel would empty
itself between sunrise and sunset,
certain number of markings equally
distant on the side of the vessel
would enable one to tell what por-
ton of the day had passed by the
height of the water. This crude
measure of time was called a wa.
ter-clock.
When the Roman general, julius
Caesar, was carrying out his con-
quests of Gaul, he crossed to Brit
ain for the first time in the latter
part of the summer of So B. G. In
his account of the expedition he
tells of many things he had OBJ
served among the Britons, and one
was the Water-clock. Through &C.
curate measurements by this clock
he found that the midsummer nights
in Britain We're shorter than In the
south of Gaul or Italy. He ascer-
tanned the fact, but he did not know
the cause.-the spherical form of
the earth and its revolving on its
axis not at right angles to the plane
Of its orbit.

The big race to America is the

AUCTION BIDDING.

AUCI1UN BlDDlNG:
No score, first game. z dealt and bid
one no trump. If A passed, Y bid two
hearts and B passed, what should Z do?
This is a very close question, but the
writer would prefer to try for game at
no trump rather than hearts. For that
reason, the writer considers two no
trumps as the proper bid.
CONTRACT BIDDING:
This hand is a good illustration of
the original two bid at Contract.
With any hand containing at least four
and one-half quick tricks, an original
two bid' is justified. In no other way
can player show his partner the type
of hand held. Partner should bid his
longest suit if it has any top card
strength, or three no trumps, if he has
at least one trick. 2 should, therefore.
bid two no trumps; A will pass and Y
will bid three hearts. B will pass and
z should now bid four hearts. The |
bidding at Contract will thus arrive at
a different bid than at Auction
