OLDEST CLOCK IN ENGLAND.
- -
Erected In 1320 In One af the Towers
.
of Poterborough Cathedral.
Peterborough cathedral has the old .
est working clock In England. It was
erected about 1320 and Is proba111y
the work of a monastic cloclmaler.
It ta the only one now known that Is
wound up over an old wooden wheel.
This wheel is about 12 feet in cir
omnforence , and the galvanized cable ,
about 300 feet in length , supports a
leaden weight or 3 ewt. , which has
to l.Ie wound up dally.
The clock Is. said to be of much
more primitive construction than that
made by Henry de Nick for Charles V.
of Franco ! in 1370. The clock chamber .
l.Iel' is In the northwest tower , some
120 feet high , where the sunlight has
not penetrated 'hundreds of years ,
and the winding is done by the light
of a candle.
The gong io the great tenor bell of
the cathedral , which weighs 32 cwt" ,
and it Is struck hourly by an 80
pound hammer. The going and the
striking parts of the clock are some
yards apart , communication being by
a slender wire. The clock has no
dial. The time is shown on the main
wheel of the escapement , which goes
round once In two .hours.
Cured by Bolt From Sky.
During a thunderstorm lightning
struck the chimney and descended In- '
to a room at the home of Mrs. W. T.
Leopold at Savannah , Oa. Mrs. Leo-
paId and two of her children felt the
shock , Mrs. Leopold getting much of
Its force. She hall been sUffering
greatly with inflammatory rheumatism
for seven years. Immediately after
the shock she found that her rheumatism .
tism had dlsapIJeared. Her physician
thinks it may have disappeared per-
manently.

In Franc the motor cyclists have

is inflated just like a bic 'cle.tire.

symptoms she described were conflicting -
