' New York World. Tn the observatory of Columb ^ I'Diversity is one of the most accura i clocks in the world. It lias rim f | seven months with a mean error < | only fifleen-thnosandths of a secoi and a maximum error of thirty-tho sandths of a second per day. Th means that it does not vary mo than half a second a month, or s seconds a year. Compare this with the first pock timepiece, the "Animated I j Nurembnrg," which required windii twice a day and varied an hour at o half in (he same time! Compare with some of the highest-pric< watches manufactured today, whi< often vary more than ten seconds , week and you will have, some idea i measuring time. Yet even this ace racy is surpassed by some fatnoi time-pieces, if the trade magazin are to be believed. There have be< accounts in tlieni of clocks that ha' ; varied less than a second in porio< ) as long as ten years. 4 The clock al the University of C | lnmhia is an astronomical clock. I is surrounded by a glass case in whi< J a partial vacuum is maintained, at tin order that (lie case may not I opened or disturbed the winding 1 done automatically by electricity. Tl \ clock is set up in a room especial 1 constructed lo keep it free from j; or vibration. The temperature ai barometric conditions are mainlai cd practically constant, and evei possible .precaution is taken lo mill mi/.c the errors of the running rat Tl is not generally appreciated th; (clocks of the prt>sen| style, althoiif used as far hack as I he twelfth cei fury, and possibly earlier, were hi fair timekeepers until several ce] turics later. Tn fad, it has only be( within (lie last few decades that rea lv accurate clocks have been main faelured. Those which I lie aslron iners used in their observations al ll j nnd of I he fifteenth cenlitry were < unreliable thai modified forms of ll y1 valer clocks of the ancients were o l/.en employed as checks upon thei ff. Galileo's discovery of Ihe isochroi / ism of the pendulum from Ihe swni: 1 .ng chandelicr in the Church of 1'ii . j was of great value in its application ' l<? tlie measurements of time. Tlie rs | inventions of the mercurial and compensating pendulums have aided materially in cutting down the errors of pc the running rate and controlling the s- motions of clock mechanism.
