from storms and cold winds, and when

the weather is severe tepid water should

be given them to drink. Examine them,

found, apply kerosene sparingly—too

The fact may lie illustrated iu auothci

way. Suppose we are at the day line'

Monday begins there, and in twenty-four

hours along comes Tuesday. Hut just' west (half tin inch if you please) Mon

A Curious Clock.

Kev. John esley in his journal gives

the following account of a talking clock

''On Monday, April 27, 1762, being at' Jiurgan, iu Ireland, embraced the op-1 portunity which I bad desired, of talking to Mr. Miller, the contriver of that statue which was in Lurgatt wheu I was there before. It was the figure of an old man standing in a case, with a curtain drawn before him. over against a clock, which stood on the opposite side of the room. Kvery time the cluck struck he opened tho door with one band, drew back the curtain with the other, turned his head as if looking round on the comjiany, and then said, with a clear, loud, articulate voice, past one. or two, or three, and so on. Hut so many came to see this (the like of which all allowed was not to be seen in Kurope) that Mr. Miller was in great, danger of being ruined, not having time to attend to his own liu^'n''-^ So as none oflered to purchase it or reward him for his pains he took the whole machine to jiieces."

1 UK costliest watch that ever was made

is said to have been one which was constructed in 1S44 for the Multaii Abdul

Mojid who must have found it rather in-

convotiipiit since it was five inches

in diameter, and struck the hours, and also struck the |iiarter-hours, on wires

with a sound resembling that of a power

ful cathedral clock. It cost twelve hun

dred guineas. Another famous watch was noted (or its siiiallnoss. In was in

setted in the top ol a pencil-casc, and

though it was but three-sixteenths of an

inch in diameter, its dial not only indicated the hours, minutes, and seconds, but

also days of the month. Tt was made in

O Geneva, and was displayed in the K\hi2? bition of 1851. ti
