feed her very liberally after she is

That the coal deposits of Eng-

MEASURED TIME BY MOTOR.
A still earlier instrument was the
clepsydra, which measured time by
the efflux of water through a tiny
orifice. There were two types of
these: In the first the water trick-
led from a small opening in one ves-
sel and slowly filled a receptacle
which was graduated to indicate'
periods of time and generally a.
"Boater" pointed out the height of'
the water on the side of thevvessel.
Ip the second variety of this clepsy-
dra the graduated vessel, having a,
small orifice in the bottom, rested,
upon .17 surface of water and gradu-
