ErrcRo MAGNETIC CLOcKs.--Whieh
neyei run down. and never require sind.
ing, lave been invented by Mr. BRAIN.
A sn.er in the Polyieehnic Review says
-. he set up clock in my drawing
room, the pendulum Of which Is N lhe
hall, and both the instruments in vol,aic
circuit, as iollows:-0n the n T. side ol
my house two zinc plates, each foot
square, are sunk in hole, and suspended
10 a wire. This is passed through The
house. To he pendulum first. and then the
clock. On the \ L side Of The house, a
a distance of about forty yards. a hole wat
dug funr feet deep, and Two sacks Of com
mon coke buried in il; among the coke an
other wire was secured, and passed IN q
the drawing-room window. and joined 4
the former wire al tie clock. The ball o
the pendulum weighs nine pounds. but
was moved energetically, and has eve
since lcaniinned. 10 do so. with The sell


same energy. The time Is 10 periectinn
and the cost Of the motive pnwer was on

in the clock. and neither weights no
springs. so there is nothing to be woun'
up. TO another friend in Baltersea, HI
has given three clocks. two small ones an


one hall clock, all moved by one cur

pendulum. This is all he has complete
