Mtmrlnuv lVnti*r (I or I, nt'Clinrli'innitiii' Tin* Tower Clock of McMrlbng mid till 1 Automatic ( lock of 1‘ltfcnwccn. 'Will M. Clemens. Many yenrH «(fo two cWmOch of gmit in genuity and elegant workmanship worn made in Luidon and pivscnt"d tollio Em- i peror of China by the l*kwt India (,'ompa- ; ny, a wealthy organization engaged in commerce Eaeh clock \vn« made in the I form of a chariot, in which was placed tin? figure of a lady leaning her right hand ! upon a part of the eharlot, and under it was the clock of curious workmanship. It was smaller than a silver twenty-five cent piece, would repeat and strike the hours and would go for eight days. Upon the finger of the lady Nif.s a bird, finely mod eled. set with diamonds and rubies, with its tiny wings extended in a flying posture. By touching a diamond button the bird would actually flutter for a time. The body of the bird, although it contained a f iart of the wheels that gave motion to he clock, was not more than one-six teenth of an inch In size. The lady held in her led hand a gold tube, not much thicker than a large pin, on the top of which was n small round box, to which was fixed a circular movement set with diamonds, and not much larger than a ten-cent piece. Over the lady’s head was supported by a small (luted pillar a double umbrella. The pillar was no larger than a quill. Under the largest umbrella a bell was fixed at a considerable distance from the clock, with which It seemed to have no connection; but in reality com munication was secretly conveyed to a hammer that regularly struck the hour, and repenting the same at pleasure by the touching of a diamond button fixed to the clock below. At the feet of the lady was a gold dog, and before it, from the point of the chariot, was two birds fixed on spiral winds, the wings and feathers of which were set with jewels of various colors, and appeared as if flying away with the chariot. From another secret motion the chariot was made to run in a straight, circular, or, Indeed, in any direction. Above the umbrella were (lowers and or naments of precious stones, and it termi nated with a flying dragon, ornamented in a similar manner. The whole clock was made of gold, most delicately executed, ami embellished with rubies and pearls. A wonderful pioee of mechanism known as the Clepsydra, or water clock, was once upon a time presented by a Turk of high rank to Charlemagne. In the dials of the clock were twelve doors opening at the hours which they represented, and little bulls equaling the hours in number ap peared and struck the time upon a brazen bell. The doors continued open until noon, when twelve knights, mounted on horseback, issued forth, one from each door, and, after parading around the dial of the clock, shut themselves in again. In the tower of the town house in the city of Heidelberg, Germany, there existed many years ago a clock so constructed that when the hours struck tho figure of an old man pulled off his hat, a cock crowed and clapped his wings, and bunds of soldiers appeared and foughtwith each other. This curious piece of work manship was burned in 1(103, together with the castle and town. In olden times there was a remarkable clock in the cathedral at London. Every hour two horsemen came out of the clock to encounter each other, a door flew open disclosing the Virgin Mary on a throne, with Christ in her arms, people ure gath ered around presenting gifts, and two trumpeters are sounding their horns. This clock ulso showed the month, day of the month, and all of the festivals and holidays of the year. In the village of Pittenwoen, in Scotland, about fifty years ago, there was made ana exhibited by Mr. Smith, a clock and watch maker of that place, an automatical clock, which, from the description given of it at that time, appears to have equaled any thing of the kind over produced. It com prehended a very sinking illustration of the musical and religious character of tho people of Scotland. The case, which was of the IInest mahogany, was seven feet high, with fluted columns upon each side. The upper part of tho clock was orna mented with carving, fretwork and gild ing, with a golden bird having its wings extended standing in the center. The case contained a large eight-day musical clock, with three dial plates and a chime of six teen bells. The whole clock was divided into live different parts, each of which hud its own particular weight. The llrst was tile going part; tho second kept a small musical band in motion. Thu band played a favorite tuno over once before striking the hour. Tho third part, struck the hour; the fourth moved a large musical baud, containing eight celebrated Scotch tunes, one of which played every three hours, with great exactness. The front dial plate, or face, which was about eighteen inches in diameter, had an arch which showed the hours, minutes and seconds, with the name and date of the month, with out variation during the entire year, even on the 2Stli of February. The clock turned out all the odd days in one night and brought out the 1st of March on the following morning, in the plate there were also two small hands, one of which discovered the day of the week. When Sunday came there appear ed the words, “Remember Sunday,’’ and at 12 o’clock tho music stopped playing ! until 12 o’clock on Sunday nyrlit. The \ music then began again and continued j until the next Saturday night. On the i right hand was another dial plate eight ! inches wide, with an arch. II contained ' a hand that pointed to the name of the ! tune the clock played. The dial plate on ; the left was of the same size as the , one on tho right. It represented the front of a house with a door in | the middle. At eaeli side of the door j stood a sentinel with It is aims, in the ! livery of the city guard of Edinburg, ; painted on brass. In the inside of tho center of tile door was seen the inacer or 1 clerk of the lords of the council, dressed in his robes with his nmee in his right hand. As soon as the clock began to play he took oft’ his hat with his right hand and walked past the door, followed by iifteen lords in procession. The figures were painted on thin brass and very much resembled life. All this was but a part of this wonderful eight-day clock. lie Not Form>( To tell your lady friends that Simmons’ Iron Cordial cures those painful and liar- rassing diseases so common with your sex.
