Among the many beautiful presents received by the Royal Family of Japan on the occasion of the recent coronation, is a clock given by residents of Washington, Montana, and Alaska. The clock stands 4ft. 9in high, and has four sterling silver dials. Its frame is made of steel, the ornamentation of bronze, and three panels in the standard are of onyx. A fourth panel is of bevelled glass, through which practically all the mechanism can be seen. The four dials show, respectively, the time at Tokio, Puget Sound, New York, and Greenwich. Surrounding the timepiece is a globe which makes one revolution every twenty-four hours. The sun’s position in relation to the earth is indicated by a gilded ball mounted at one side of the globe.
