description *led ~ * "
colored
. i Med people
Two Black Forest dook maker*,
Haenslo and Augustas Noll, ban,
in too con
courae of tho year a
clock very
ever, created in
work which place* tho Martin clock very
much in the shade. This Haende
and Noil dock haa a height of a 90
meter*, width 8 meter* and dapth
1 meter; It is boilt in the style
of tho renaissance, and with lie
figures and carvings, executed In
truly nrtlstio manner. The dock show*
the seconds and strikes the hours, quar
ters and minutes. Besides, it shows the
days of tho week, months, seasons and
tho years up to 10,000. It shows tho
solar system, tho phases of the moon, the
revolution of tho earth and the zodiac;
then on seventeen clock faces the time at
Berlin, Prague, Riga, Vienna, Cairo
(Egypt), Hills, Trieste, Rome, Munich,
Berne, Now York, Genera, Boston, Paris,
Meta, London, and in the center, on the
principal face, the time of tho place
where the clook is located.
.The arrangement of the clock Is the
■jAdlowing: Below in the center there is,
’.©dor gloss and quite open to view, the
principal movement, which, when
wound, will run for a year, supposing
that tho clock is not moved. At the right
of tho movement there is the work of the
A. calendarium, at the left a music box, and
-in the front the globe of the earth, which
receives its revolution by a very simple
but ingenious mechanism. Above the
movement is tho second and minute
hand, hftcr the revolution of which an
angel strfes a bell and indicates the ex
piration© a minute, while the hands of
• the seventeen fa,--i r vanco (jump) one
minute. The ox; nation of a quarter is
again indicated by uu angel's striking
two bells.
In the course of an hour tho ages of
man are represented—at the end of tho
first quarter a child appears, at the second
a youth, ut the third a man, and at the
fourth an old man. The hour is struck
by Death, by whose.slde stands an angel,
who winks Death to desist at the appear
ance of the first threo figures, but sutlers
hSu to striko the hour at the appearance
of tliomld man. At tho left hand, half
hcight"f the clock, there stand the twelve
apostles, attd before them Christ. At the
expiration of an hour tho twelve bow be
fore Christ, who blesses them by raising
his hands. At 0 o'clock, mornings and
evenings, a sexton rings the bell, whilo
threo monks step from their cell and go
into tho church for prayer: as they go in
choral music is played. At. 10 o'clock in
the oveii’iig a night watchman enters
upon his duty nnd blows his hom every
hour until 2 o’clock in the morning; at 8
the cock crows, standing In a natural size
at the left upper corner of the clock.
.-..t 12 o’clock noon und night tho music
box plays n piece, and at 12, night, the
calendnry changes and the following
week, day and date appear, and at the
end of tho month, whether of thirty or
thirty-one days, the ifhme of the next
month will come up, and leap years nro
' not forgotten. At the left upper end
near the cock is a representation of the
■oli - - -
apparent course (revolution) of tho sun
round tho earth, which changes accord
ing to llio season, so that it appears
larger or smaller. On tho other side
nearest tho cuckoo is the course of tho
moon, representing the different phases
of that satellite. The globe of tho earth
revolver, every twenty-four hours. On
tho 21st of March, tho beginning of
spring. tln> cuckoo, also represented of
nature.! t logins its musical perform
ance and continues until tho beginning
of fall.
Each season is represented symbol
ical!?. March 81, spring appears os a
maiden in company of n child with
wreaths of flowers; Juno 21, the maiden
carries a sheaf of wheat and the child a
sickle; Sept. 21, both carry fruit, and Dec.
21, tho maiden has a spinning wheel and
tho child a spinning whirl (spindle). On
Dec. 23, a lovely Christmas picture is
represented in tlio chnpol nnd tlid musio
box plays 'an appropriate tune. On Dec.
81, at 13 o’clock at night, tho trumpeter
plays a solo, accompanied by the or
chestra, to indicate tlio beginning of tho
new year and at tlio same time tlio num
ber of tho year changes.
Tho run of this clock, as wo havo de
scribed it, would repeat itself up to tho
year 10,000, und might then bo prolonged
for another 10,000 years, if the numbers
were changed. 'Of course this is illusory,
but it shows that such a work might bo
created. The clock would havo to stand
in tlio same place for 10,000 years and bo
wound regularly every year. And the
tooth of timo and the 'natural decay of
everything earthly must be stopped—
which is not very likely.—Wnterbury
(Conn.) American.
