IRST PUB'LIC CLOCKI, It Was One of the Wonders of the Fourteenth Century. THE PEOPLE WERE PUZZLED Parisians Couldn't Understand How the Bells Were Rung Without Being Struck Ly the Watchman-The Era of Automaton Ringers. in pimitive tincs a man was sta tioned a: t.! top o the helfry to ring the hi-s at t:c indicated hours. day and nhi:t. lils watchman 'was calletd the h eo pu-that is to say, the oh server ,,'t the hour. lie had recourse hims4elf i order to fulill his duty to the study of the astral system, to the 1nmb(r of prayers he was to recite, to the quantity of wax a candle had con sumied, to- the elvpsydra, or water clock. and to the hourglass. The trade of the horoscopus was inevitabl:y one of the first which the progress of mechanism was to cause -o disappear. The first elocks with bell known in France date back to the fourteenth century. Particular mention is made of one which was established at Caen in 1314 by Beaumont and that of tie Palais de Justice in Paris. which King Charles V. hadz constructed in 1370 by the German clockmaker Henri de Vie. This machine seemed so marvelous that the inbahitants of Paris-sO goes the legend-asked permission of the king to go on ;:uard at the door of the tovt e: to assure themselves that it was the :lock and not the watchman that r:mg the hours. This astonishment of the people at a period when mechanism was but just born may well be conceived in pres ence of a machine capable of calculat ing and striking the hours without the assistance of any hunan being. with the same precision that could be exer cised by the most vi1ilant horoscopus. The custom wxas perpetuated until the seventeenth century and still ex ists in certain cities of Europe of plac ing alongside of the clocks various au tomatons which ring the hours. It is due to nothing else than the thought of recalling to memory the recollection of the ancient watchman. And also the clocks with automatons catered to the popular taste of that epoch. The peo ple of that period preoccupied them selves but little with the more or less exact measurement of time. Railroads were not in existence. and the exigen cies of life were not so great as they are now. A cock which crowed and flapped his wings, some apostles who marched by. striking a blow for each hour. filled them with admiration, and In this respect no other clocks aroused so much enthusiasm as those of Lyons and Strassburg. It was a clock of this character that Henri Deux placed over the superb portal of the chateau of Anet. Nevertheless this timepiece was dis tinguished from other clocks with au tomatons by the originality of the fig ures that it set in movement. Here no longer was a woma's or a man who struck the hours with rusty arms. It was a majestic stag, standing erect. surrounded by four bloodhounds of natural- size, which appeared to he hokting it at bay, that one saw on the summit of the portal. One of the stag's legs was movable, and as it was lifted it seemed to strike the hours. The four hounds opened their jaws at each striking of the quarters, and their voIces were Imitated by bells of differ ent notes whose clappers were connect ed by wires with their lower jaws, causing them to open and shut as long as the bell ringing mechanism con tinued. This curious clock exists no longer. It was sold at auction with its finest dials for the sum of $100 when the chateau of Anet was confiscated as national property and sold with its furniture in the year 2 of the first re public. This ancient clock was replaced in 1850 by one entirely modern and made by Wagner. The stag and the hounds in bronze were also carrIed away. Those seen today are in bronzed terra cotta and play no other part than to recall to memory the ancient ones and to add to the decorative portion of the portal of the chateau whose architec ture. the work of Philibert Delorme, is one of the purest and most delicate constructions of the renaissance. Besides the functions that we have enumerated, the clock of the chateau of Anet possessed on the side of the court of honor a magnificent dial, which indicated the position of the signs of the zodiac, the months, the days of the month and the moon's age.-L'Horlogere. The Word "Butter." "Cow juice" is a slang term for but, ter in many parts of the United States. But the word " butter" itself almost certainly means something very like that by derivation. It is true that Pliny considered "butyrum" to be a Scythian word. but it seems clear that It was really Greek-fr-om '"bous," a cow, and "-turos,' cheese, and meant literally '"cow cheese." --Buttery." by the way, has nothing to do with but ter. in spite of appearances, just as "'pantry' has no connection with pans. The latter is the storing place of bread ("pans"). and the former is the late Latin "botaria." the place of the '-butts" or casks.-Chicago News. Safe.

The four ounce glove was unknown to the ancient pugilist. When the boxers and fighters came together in the old days of Greece they wore up on their hands the cestus, which was in itself a terrible adjunct to any fighter. But Dr. Daniel G. Briton dis covered that there was sometimes at tached to the cestus a deadlier weap on, consisting of a three pronged fork of bronze. This was known as the myrmex. and Dr. Brinton, who found this specimen, gave it to the museum of archaeology in the University of Pennsylvania. Classical literature has frequent ref erences to the myrmex, which Is de scribed as the deadliest weapon of the ancient pugilist. The right hand was swathed in tough hide, bound in place with thongs and supplemented by small knobs of lead or Iron, to which was affixed the myrmex. Dr. Brinton made his discovery in Paris by ex amining the Greek and Roman mar bles in the Louvre. One of these groups represented a fighter bearing on his right fist the cestus and myr mex. Combats in those days were much more brutal and dangerous than those of the modern prize ring. It is easily seen that a single blow of the myr mex might cause death or permanent injury.
