ONE MAN'S 200 CLOCKS.

BUT NONE IN HIS BEDROOM.

Somewhere in the extreme south- cast of London lives Mr. D. A. E Wetherfield, the owner of the most wonderful, collection of old clocks in the world. In his house there Are 220 of them, each an exquisita work into which a master of by- gono centuries had put the whole of his artistic being and the per- fection of his craft.

Before callers leave the House of Clocks they have to promise Mr. Wetherfield, who is 82, that they will not disclose his address, be cause he has an abhorrence of om. portunist dealers, plaguing fakers, and persistent American million- aires. Some of the wealthiest mon in the world have sought to raid hia collection, but none has yet suceeded.

-Twenty-eight years ago Mr. Wetherfield wanted to own grandfather clock, so he employed an expert to obtain a high-class specimen. He was decelved into buying a worthless imitation, and when he realised the fact he de- cided for moral solace to acquire a collection of timepieces which would be unexcelled elsowhere.

Chorus of Ticking.

A person who visits his house for the first time is entranced at the threshold by achorous of tick- ing. Now and then from some obscure corner comes a whirring prelude to the tinkle of bells, and when the quarter-hour, the half- hour, and the hour are reached the house is filled with waves of hag- mony.

Clocks are overywhere-except in Mr. Wetherfield's bedroom, where he will not tolerate even one. in the hall they stand all round so closely shoulder to shoul- der that an inch of wall space can- hut be seen.

A King's Clock. Thirteen clocks dominate the dining-room, one of them, perhaps, the most coveted thing of its kind in the world. It is a slim graceful masterpiece of burr walnut, by Thomas Tompion, who made it for William II, from whose posse- sion it passed to the Cambridge ducal family. Specially distinctive is its elaborate dome surmounted by a statuette of Minerva,

There are 25 clocks in the draw- ing-room and as many in every other apartment." The kitchen alone has a stock which would filt an antiquary's shop, 35 are in the housekeeper's room, and even the bathroom has six or seven. Forty- five bracket clocks furnish a box
