HISTORIC STUDIES IN HOME FURNISHING —_————— BY MARGARET AINSLEE. I (Concluded.) A later French invention probably used in a private chapel was the crucifix clock. The ornamental parts of these timepieces were examples of beautiful modeling, es- pecially the silver figure hanging upon the | gilt cross. When the hour was sounded by the bell below the plinth the figure on the Teft raised its chalice. The time was indicated upon the revolving ball sur- mounting the structure by the pointer af- fixed to the cross. Interesting historical examples of these @000 9ee0+000 ® @ - D e e L S s + “GREAT CHAMBER CLOCK,” & | ) 1623, B oo ed e ededeo e e® eighteenth century revolving dials with the single indicator are still to be found in the South Kensington Museum. One of the most pleasing represents a large globe upheld by three beautiful bronze hoys. A serpent with head erect points with his tongue to the time indicated upon the revolving equatorial bands, ome of which chronicles the hour, another the minutas. The porcelain vase clock, said to have belonged to Marie Antoinette, carries out the same idea, the tongue of the serpent coiled at the base of the urn forming the fixed indicator of the revolving hours | upon_the polygonal encircling bands. It is difficuit to ascertain just when the pocket watches came into vogue. That they were used in_Shakespeare's day is shown in “As You Like It,” when Jaques says: “‘And then he drew a dial from his poke.” Long afterward, however, watches | were still made with a pointed projection, which would clearly demonstrate their unfitness for pocket use. A plausible theory has been advanced to the effect that fol watehes' (from the German x’upg) a pocket) were introduced by the Puritans, whose aversion to undue display led t to conceal their time- keepers about their clothing. Certain | is that Oliver Cromwell's fob watch in the British Métseum is the first small | Umekeeper found with fob chain appen- dant. While the Puritans were doing all they could to repress ostentation and orna- ment in England, the clockmakers of Hol- land, Germany and France were vying with' one another in the production of ex- travagant ingenuities. en were invent- musical clocks which played ai great variety of popular airs, tortoise Sheil or egg-shaped watches suspended from the chatelaine, walking sticks with horologium in the knob for the Bishop | mystery clocks with falling ball attachments, perpetual motion eclocks, self-winding clocks, watches with pendu- lums, butterfly, acorn, sea shell, trumpet- s hes, all exquisitely y used to ornma- ment hand mirror, fan or bracelet. One of the most curious of the mystery clocks w: Grollier de Serviere’s mag- netic timekeeper fashioned In the form of a shallow bowl whereon were marked | the numerals. When the bowl was filled | with water a tortoise made &f cork was placed therein, floating around until it pointed to the’ time, and crawling from one hour figure to another as the day advanced. His chronological bump was quets, Do eieveissisedeie® found to be the ‘“keeper” of the horse- shoe magnet which was concealed under the rim of the bowl and caused to re- volve once in twenty-four hours. By the same device a lizard was induced to make an hourly advance up a graduated col- umn, and a mouse to creep flonf nib- bling at the hour marks on a_cornic About 1600 efforts were made to adapt these expensive, highly decorated time- keepers to domestic use. About the mid- dle of the century pendulums were intro- duced, and the newly invented chamber clocks were in such demand that the sun- dial makers gave up their vocation .and turned their attention to the making and improvement of clocks. As with the clock-watches, so with the chamber clocks was great effort made to enjoin upon the ohserver the fnenny over- looked fact that “eve our is a step toward death.” One of the most unique of these memento mori timekeepers was the great chamber clock of Upon one side door was engraved the conven- tional figure of Time with his sickle, and upon the other was a ghastly skeleton holding a torch, from which depended | for new time! the warning, “The sfing of death Is sin,” while beneath the hour glass held in the o’! er hand were the following quaint nes: Man is a glase, Life Is as water weakly w;lhed about, So runs the water out. These chamber clocks were generally hung upon the wall, and some had the upper part covered with wooden to protect the works from the dust, whila the weights and pendulum hung free. By the close of the reign of Charles 1I these clocks had become entirely inc a in wood, and were thus evoived into the long-case eight-day timepieces popularly known as grandfather clocks. '1P:\‘- T hand duction of the minute was accepted by country makers, and t handsome clocks reached their perfection in the days of Chippendale, the noted cabinet maker of St. Martih's lane. His Sheraton, distinguished for his foreman, ornate style and beautiful inlaid work, also published a cabinet dictionary in 1808, from which popular clock ca: have been selected. Some of the older long-case clocks wers frequently embellished with Oriental lac- uer wnr(}(’ or covered with marqueterie in ne geometrical designs. The taste for effective marqueterie me_ especially ronounced in the time of Willlam of range, who brought in his train a band of Dutch inlayers. Other beautiful variations of the elocks of the Chippendale perfod were the dark oak cases carved in high relief. Although some specimens of this handsome work have appeared at other periods, they all seem to have been the result of artistic experiment by enthusiastic woodearv designed to reinclose existing cloc rather than nzechlly planned receptacles eepers. It is melancholy to think that the intro- auction fifty years ago of cheap machine- made American clocks proved so_disas- trous to the manufacture of old Engilsh timepieces that thousands of these long- case clocks were cut up for firewood and their brazen interiors relegated to the melting pot. The horological industry has from time to time been paralyzed by the imposition of obnoxious taxes upon clocks and watches. English duties upon the cases led to the manufacture of a remarkabie number of silver gilt and pinchbeck cases. These latter were so named from an in- ventor of _astronmomic-musical _elocks. whose fame became worldwide and whose name became an adjective in our lan- guage uqnn his discovery of an alloy of metals closely resembling gold. Not content with taxes upon the e of timepieces, Pitt preceeded to impose a tax upon possessors and users of waiches and clocks. As a result of this unjust im- post many clock manufacturers were ruined, hundreds of men were thrown out of employment and only half the number of timepieces were made. In order to meet the impending scarcity of clocks tavern-keepers unanimously adopted for the convenience of their patrons a com- spicuous ut Inexpensive wall eclock, named aftér the necessity which caused its invention, “The Act of Parliament” clock. Although these painted black-wood dials, with their large gilt Agutes. may occasionally be seen in country inns, the best place In which to find these and fine specimens of other venerable timepleces is London: for the modern curio hunter [ e et S S SR e B S OLIVER CROMWELL'S WATCH AND FOB CHAIN. e e e Rt RS SRS ) has scoured with such diligence the most remote rustic quarters that almost all the genuine antiques have wended their way to the large cities. ST MARY’S PARK FUND EXISTED ONLY IN NAME Judge Hebbard Dissolves Injunction and Treasurer May Now Pay City’s Creditors. St. Mary's Park fund, Judge has decided, was a fund that existed alone in the minds of the local legislative body and was never by offical act designated as such, nor was any fund set apart for the purchase of the lands in question. This decision places the $125.000 in the gen- D e e S S SR S S o o o 2 b S oo o o o L e e e e e L S e Rl A g Hebbard eral fund and hence it may be used for* general purposes. The decision was reached In the suit of Christian Rels against Treasurer Brooks, in which plain- Hiff sought an injunction’ restraining the use of the $125,000 in question for purpeses other than the purchase of properties for St. Mary's square. In his opinion Judge Hebbard says: In accordance with the State law, on Septem- ber 18, 1899, the Board of Supervisors levied a tax for city and county purposes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, in the sum of $1.023 on each $100 of valuation. Nowhere in the ap- portionment of funds was St. Mary's square mentioned. Counsel for the piaintiff -elaims, however, that the Board of Supervisors ‘‘in- tended” to set apart the sum of $125,000 as a St. Mary's square fund and that therefors the sum ought to remain In the treasury for that rpose. is quite evident by resolutions of board, both before and after the passage of Order No. 216, that this appropriation was in- tended, but the laws relating to taxation have not yet become sufficiently flexible to permit the taking of any sum of money out of a fuad distinctly_mentioned in order fixing a tax levy and putting it into & fund which exists and existed at the time of the levy only in the minds of the members of the board which paseed the order. The demurrer to the complaint for these sons Is sustained without leave to amend and the action is dissolved. The injunction is dis- solved and the defendant shall have judgment for bis costs. Although a few points ‘were involved in this case that were not passed upon by Judge Seawell, this decision is practically an affirmation of the first that was hand- ed down in the S Park case. ——— In the Divorce Court.
