Nature's Sun Dial.

There Is no need for clocks on the Aegean sea any day when the sun is shining. There nature does not vary, though the centuries pass. The natural time-marker is the largest' sun dial la the world. Projecting into the blue wafers of the sea is a large promontory which lifts Its head 3,000 feet above the waves. As the sun swings round the pointed shadow of the mountain just touches one after the other of a number of small islands, which are at exact distances apart and act as hour marks on the great dial.
