POTTER) One of the earliest forms of time- keejiing by an in.strument wa.*! invent- ed in Egypt about the year 175 B.C., which was called a "clepsydra" or wate- clock. T.hj principal upon which this was operated wa.=i by a small continuous stream of water conducted by a pipe into a fennel, from which it dropped into a cylinder, the flow beirfp regu- lated by a conical stopper, the super- fit )us water e.scaping by a waste ))il)e. As the water rose in thi? sylinder a float, attached to a pinion would rise, to which a. hand was attached, showing the hour upon an index. .\s the Egyptians at that time divided the period between sun- lise and sunset into twelve hours, it was necessary to adjust the conical stoiiper each day. There were various forms of the â- 'clepsydra." which superceded this, but the principal remained about the same until about the year IG'M A.D., when it was reproduced and intro- duced into France, when a different principal was adopted. This "clepsydra was constructed of a long oblong frame of wood, to the upiior part of which were affixed two cords, the lower end being wound iround a drum containing several t(|ual compartments, which was mounled m an axis. T!ie drum was wound around the axi^ until it wa.- to the top of the frame and left to (bey the force of gravity, controlled by water, which was previously intro- duced into the drum, which w'as re- tained by certain parts of the circum- ference of the water-tight conipart- ti'.cnts. One side being heavier than the other, the tendency to fall by revolving was counteracted. A smnll bole was pierced in the bottom of each ceil, wliich allowed the water to seep from one compartment to an- rth.^r. thus reducing the opnosit? Weight of water and tauiing the drum to slowly descend by levylving. The rate of motion was regulated by alter- ing t'le siT.e of the apertures. The axis, in its descent, points to the buns narked on the side of the wi.iulon frame. The first "clepsydra" to be intro- duced into Rrmc in 177 B.C. was for the jiuip.iso of limiting tlio speeches cf the Koiiian orators. Life Belts Should Livestock Markets Be Left On Posts Many coniplai;it.s have been heard lately regarding the misuse of the! life-belts at the local swimming pond. There is evidently a deal of good ground for such complaint. It seems that two perfectly good useful belt-, i have been practically destroyed by the boys and girls of the village. These young people have thought- ! lessly been using these life-belts as fljats and water wings. At the present moment it would be some time before one of these belts could be located in case of accident. i The place for these belts is on white posts near the water's edge, and youngsters should be given to under- stand definitley that they should be left there. Thi real use for the.se belts might be pointed out to the youngsters and the average boy or girl would have sense enough to leave them alone. .N'obody ever thinks of taking a fire engine out of the station to have a joy ride on it, or i-emove the rails from the side of a bridge. The time ntay come some day, when least ex- pected, that tho.se belts might be the means of saving a life â€" if they arc left al.me in the meantime. A plain quality cattle supply found trade dull on the Toronto Livestock Market on Tuesday, with only a few chciee cattle selling at steady price*. A few weighty steers were picked out at S5.7.5 to S6..30. Good and choice hutcher cattle sold at S5.50 to $6, with mediums ranging fdom $4.50 to 85.25. Butcher cows went for $3.50 to SC.75 for choice, and commons sold do^vn to • S'iSO. Good butcher bulls changed hands at $3.25 to S3.oO and bologna bulls around §3. A few choice fed calves sold steady at $6.75 to S7.50. Some common to medium stockers brought S3 to §4.35. The calf mart was firm and active, with choice vealers selling at $7 to S7.50 with tlie bulk of the supply at S6 to S7. Truck hogs sold 25c lower at §9.40 for bacons. The few car hogs were quoted at S9.15 to S9.25 f.o.b. and from ?9.90 to §10 off cars. Lambs w-ere steady at Monday's de- cline at S8 for good ewes and wethers and from $6 to S7 for other grades. The few sheep offered sod steady at $1 to $2.50 cwt.
