The story of King Alfred and his twelve candles, each of which burned for exactly two hours, is well known. The hour glatis is also of early date. We read that in the early history of New York the soldiers used hour glasses when defending the city in order that they should know at what time to mount guard. At what period in the world’s history’ sun dials came into use it is impossible even toconjecture, TheChaldeans were accustomed to hang a Itcad in a hollow hemisphere in such position that the shadow thrown by the bead would point directly to the hour, which was marked on the inner side of the hemisphere.
