A Timepiece Which Does Not Vary More Than Six Seconds a Year. New York World, In the observatory of Columbia University is one of the most accurate locks in the world. It has run for seven months with a mean error of only fifteen-thuosandths of a second and a maximum error of thirty-thou sandths of a second per day. Thats means that it does not vary more than half a second a month, or six seconds a year. C4mpare this with the first pocket timepiece, the "Animated Egg of Nuremburg.'' whieh required winding' twice a day and .varied an hour and! a half in the same time! Compare it with some of the highest-priced watches manufactured today, which often vary more than ten seconds a week and you will have some idea of measuring time. -Yet even this aceu racy is surpassed by some famous time-pieces, if the trade magazines are to be believed. There have beenj accounts in them of clocks that have1 varied less than a second in periods as long as ten years. The clock at the University of Co lumbia is an astr;onomical clock. It1 is surr'ounded -by a glass case in which a partial vacuum is maintained, and in order that the case may not be opened or disturbed the winding is done automatically by electricity. The clock is set up in a room especially constructed to keep it free from jar or vibration. The temperature andI barometric conditions are maintain ed practically constant, and every possible .precaution is taken to mini ize the errors of the running rate. It is not generally appreciated that elocks of the present style, although used as far back as the twelfth cen tury, and possibly earlier, were but fair timekeepers until several cen turies later. In fact, it has only been 'thin the last few decades that real v accurate clocks have been manu actured. 'Those which the astrono ers used in their observations at the nd of the fifteenth century were so nreliable that modified forms of the ater clocks of the.ancients were of en employed as checks upon them.; alileo 's discovery of the isochron sm of the pendulum from the swing-. ng chalia- in the Church of Pisa ulventionHs of 1ie mei-rn:al~i : ~u: i >WnSatfinl- pend(ulumns hiave ailded mia erially in cutting down t.e errr- of :he running rate and controlling the inotions of elcwk mechanism.
