BREAD CLOCK.
Milan has a curiosity in a clock which is made entirely of bread. The maker is a Peruvian, and has devoted three years of his time to the construction of this curiosity. He was very poor, and being without m-ans to purchase the necessary metal, deprived himself regularly of his daily bread, which he devoted to the construction of the curiosity, eating the crust and. saving the soft part for doing his. work. He made use of certain salts to solidify his material, as when the various pieces were dry they were perfectly hard and insoluble in water. The clock is of respectable size and goes well. The case, which is also of hardened bread, displays great talent in design and execution.
