WONBtRFUL RADIUM CLOCK
Timepiece Which It Is Claimed Will
Run Accurately for
2,000 Tears.
New York.—The first radium clock.
Which will run with perfect accuracy
for 2,000 years, arrived recently from
England, consigned to George B. Sel
ien, an automobile inventor of Roches*
Ur.
The machine Is the nearest thing to
perpetual motion that has ever been
invented, and the simplicity with which
H works makes it one of the marvels
9f the age.
There is first an ordinary electric
tlock, which winds and runs by means
r
THE RADIUM CLOCK.
(Nearest Thin* to Perpetual Motion Thus
Far Invented )
Of ordinary batteries. Tbs radium
controlling attachment, which sets the
clock in motion and regulates It, so
that it will not lose or gain a fraction
of a second, is attached to this by
means of wires.
It is this radium control which is
the new invention. An ordinary
Crookes tube is fixed erect on a stand
of ebony. Tbe bulb Is placed at the
bottom and from the top Is suspended
a glass rod that comes Just to the top
of the bulb.
From the end of this rod were suspend
ed two thin leaves of gold. Directly
under these leaves is plaoed a small
quantity of radium, which, by its pow
er, causes the gold leaves to fly apart.
As they fly to the opposite sides of the
bulb they touch tiny electrodes, which
are connected with the positive and
negative poles of the battery.
