A CLOCK IN A BOTTLE
The Vay This Marvel of Mechanism
Was Constructed
A German clockmaker living in the
little village of Gomnier near Magde
burg built a clock in a bottle The
maker II Rosin secured a strong
movement with a cylinder escapement
measuring forty five millimeters and
began by sawing the plate into halves
The opening in the neck of the bottle
measures fifteen millimeters and in
order to get these halves into the bot
tle he cut another segment off each of
tho halves of the plate He built a sort
of tripod as a resting place for the
movement This tripod was assembled
after he had introduced its parts into
the bottle separately The tripod is so
constructed that it cannot turn when
the movement is being wound The
four pieces of the plate were fastened
side by side by means of screws to
the platform attached to the tripod a
long screwdriver and other tools espe
cially constructed for the purpose bav
Ing been used for this operation When
the plate was put together the clock
maker proceeded to put all the parts
of the movement in their original
places with the motion wheels for the
hands A ring of white metal was
placed around the neck of tiie bottle
and upon this ring was soldered a
round plate thus closing the opening
On this cover were fastened in an In
clined position the arms which serve
as a support for the dial
The dial is made of a ground glass
plate which has a diameter of twenty
centimeters The black numbers on the
dial are cut skeleton fashion and ce
mented to the glass At night one can
tell the time by placing a light behiud
the dial Technical World
HOME OF THE DOLL
Methods of tfce Ingenious Thuringian
Toymakers
Dollmakiug did not become conspic
uous as an industry In the Thuringian
aiountains xmtil the middle of the nine
teenth century when a citizen of Son
neberg brought from London a doll
which was regarded as a great curiosi
ty It had come originally from China
and its head legs and arms were mov
Jble This furnished an inspiration to
the ingenious Thuringian toymakers
svho promptly improved upon- it Up
to that time they had made dolls only
of wood and leather but soon they
evolved the wax head at first a crude
article the wax being applied with a
brush but later brought to high per
fection thanks it is Bald to an acci
dental discovery A man engaged in
making the heads dropped a thimble
Into his pot of fluid wax and on taking
it out found it covered with a smooth
and beautiful coat of the substance
He was not clow to ceize tho Idea tho
