Commercial Advertissr An old Italian
soldier, who served prior' to, 1889, 00a•
structed one of the roost curious of these.
By its mechanism the figure of a tortillas.
was made to drop into a plait of water,
hating the hours marked on its rim.
The figure Would float around and atop
at the proper hour,telliug the time like
"a learned pill." A heard also was made
in the same tnnekeeper to ascend a miler
on which the hours were marked and
point out the time as it advanced. A
moose did the tame thing by creeping
along an hour -marked cornice. The fig

wings twice with the approach of the
hours and crowed twice caws also a po-

Of the various specimens that might be
given of early designs of the cluck -

the several types of hump clocks. One of
these was of a kind quite common in the
seventeenth century, and consisted of a

Another device -of later origin, dating
back to tie beginning of the present
century -utilised the same principle. It
consisted of two communicating oil
chambers, superposed by a clock dial.
In one of the chevaliers was placed a
uight lamp to illuminate this dial, and
in the other was aaapeteded a float from

pniky. The latter was mounted on a
horizontal axis ending in the centre of
the dial. The boat, of course. descended

Seasickness -Its Case and Keller.
Sea sickness is caused • by a modt$ca-

its high-pressure power to throw the
blood up to the brain. Its functions in
consequence become instantly disturbed.

mo-gaatric nerve is divided. The food
thio ceases to undergo its normal
changes. It spevcdUy ac a foreign

There Is a story in Plutarch which
must conviuce every reader that one
myth at feast relates to an alteratiol
mate tat the Egyptian cakedar, to rx•
tend the leugth of the year frwn gyp
days to 305. A yewr of 3410 day existed
in 1lyist at an early period, and may
ex) y have been arrived at in the way
'suggested by Mr. F. L. Griffith. The
lutea, month, frum new moon to uetr
muou, being twenty-nine and a half days
to length, the convenient retied number
of thirty days was taken ail a standard,
and tweive months, of thirty day, e.t,.+,
made up the year. The solar iear is
pore difficult to observe than the lunar
month, the intervals being longer, anti
