WynD Molesworth has invented and cnnstructed a very ingenious "celestial clock," which was exhibited at the flrst %vinter meeting of the Royal Astronoinical society. The entire face of the clóck rotates under a wire bar representing the equatorial horizon and is regulated to perforni one revolution in 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds, this being the time in which the earth turns once upon ita axis. The apparent annual motion of sun, moon and planets in the opposite direction is effected by movable pins, while the north and south polar stars, that do not rise or set for us, revolve simultaneously with the rest by a separate movement. Thus may be seen the entire heavens, with sun, moon, planet3 and constellations in their actual places, ever rising and setting as Judge io witness) - What is your age, señora?
