Peterborough cathedral has the oldest working clock in England.

It was erected about 1320 and Is probably the work of a monastic clockmaker. It is the only one now known that is wound up over an old wooden wheel. This wheel Is about twelve feet in circumference, and the galvanized cable, about 300 feet in length, supports a leaden weight of three hundredweight, which has to be wound up daily. The clock is said to be of much more primitive construction than that made by Henry de Nick for Charles V. of France in 1370.

The clock chamber is in the northwest tower, some 120 feet high, where the sunlight has not penetrated for hundreds of years, and the winding is done by the light of a candle. The gong Is the great tenor hell of the cathedral, which weighs thirty- two hundred weight, and it Is struck hourly by an eighty pound hammer. The going and the striking parts of the clock are some yards apart, communication being by a slender wire. The clock has no dial. The time Is shown on the main wheel of the escapement, which goes round ouce in two Chronicle.

THE TOWER OF HUNGER. A Famoun Prieon of Long Since Destroyed. Tower of was a name given to the tower of Gualandi, in Pisa, celebrated because of the reference made to it in Ugolino, count of Gherardesca (122080), was the head of a leading Ghl- belline family in IMsa. Deserting the Ghibellines, he went over to the Guelphs. Afterward he returned to his own side and joined that uncompromising faction which regarded Archbishop Iiuggieri as their head, until dissensions arose between him and them after he had killed the nephew in a quarrel.

In the summer of 1288 Ugolino was seized by the Ghibellines and sent a prisoner to the tower of Gualandi, with his two sons and two grandsons. Ilere they were kept till March, 1289, when the door of the tower was fastened, the keys thrown into the Arno and the prisoners left to starvation. The tower, which was ever after known as the of was in ruins at the end of the fifteenth ceu- tury and was finally destroyed in 1655. AFRICA. The Way That Name Beetowed I pon the Continent.

The name Africa was given by the Roman conquerors, after the third Punic war, B. C. 146, to the province which they formed to cover the territory of Carthage. It was most probably adopted from the word the Carthagenian term for a colony. This original Africa wTas limited in extent.

Its borders reached, according to Pliny, from the River Tusca on the west, which divided it from Numidia, to the bottom of the Syrtis Minor on the southeast, though Ptolemy carries it as far east as the bottom of the Great Syrtis, making it include Numidia and Tripolitana. In later days the whole African continent took its name from this part, which in its narrower limits corresponded with the modern regency of Tunis and was called by the Greeks Lybia. Africus, the stormy southwest wind, was so called in Italy because it blew from Africa. of Warfare. There is a story of a crew of forty to fifty men capturing a Turkish galley with 500 seamen and soldiers on board by means of a swarm of bees judiciously thrown among the unspeakable ones.

How'ever this may be, there are enough authentic instances of strange methods of attack to provide amply sufficient material for the casuist in deciding what is fair and what unfair in war. Burning naphtha, boiling lead, birds, carcases of men and horses. Chinese stinkpots, besides the implements already mentioned, have all been used for offensive or defensive purposes in actual wur- fare. Prank of vhe Lightning. In 1844 a fishing smack off one of the Shetland isles was struck by lightning during a fierce storm.
