Others have tried to in- vest a clock which need not be wound up and is driven by energy, derived from atmospheric pressure. The attempts, however, have been made to apply the principle to-or- dinary clocks.

His two new clocks, which have now been running without stopping and without rewinding for some months, require only one-thou sandth part of the amount of energy ordinarily necessary drive clock. The smallest "daily variations of temperature and at mospheric pressure are sufficient to keep these clocks in motion till fresh energy is supplied by the next Variations. A certain amount of surplus energy is stored in a spring so that freakish non-variability of temperature is provided for. The деж invention may truly be described as perpetual motion, for the only factor which would make the clock case going would be an aceident or the wearing out of the
parts.
Reutter claims that the friction in the clockwork is so slight that the life of his new clock should be at least ten thousand years. There is every reason to believe that, apart from the great scientific value of this invention, it will be a commercial proposition, or these perpetual clocks can be made in any form and size. It is believed ia clockmaking circles in Geneva that the present invention heralda a complete revolution in the clock- making industry, and may lead to very important developments in other brancher of science,
