Menelek's Clocks.

The Emperor Menelek, among his other hobbies, takes great interest in clocks, and several chronometers have recently been imported from Switzerland by M. Ilg, his Swiss adviser, which vary no more than six seconds in two months. Has Makonnen has also ordered several curious mechanical clocks from Swiss firms for presentation to the negus and the empress. The most remarkable of these is a great chiming clock to imitate that of St. Margaret’s, Westminster, London.
