Professor de Sitter, of Leyden University, in a special contribu- tion to Nature, the scientific journal, suggests that this is pos- sible, He calls attention to wonderful clocks at Greenwich Observatory known as free pendulum clocks. ; Humanity has been looking for the super-clock, and in the clock known as "Shortt 3" the profes- sor thinks it may be found. i "One of these clocks has heen left entirely to itself, being, how- ever, under rigorous control at the Observatory at Greenwich dur. ing the greater part of a year, and its rate has been absolutely in- variable, It looks as if this clock could be depended upon to keep time within a few hundredths of a second for a period measured by years instead of weeks, The keeper of time at the Ob- ' servatory told a newspaper repre- sentative something about these clocks, They have three of them, Shortt 3, their standard timekeeper, Shortt 11, which is used in emer- gency, and Shortt 16, which is used for the wireless signals, "Recent tests," sald the official, "have shown & daily rate remain- ing constant for more than six months to the order of one-thous- andth of a second, and we believe it an advance orf any clock pre- viously made, It was constructed to the design of Hamilton Shortt, "In an ordinary clock the pend- ulum has a certain amount of work taken out of it before it can get the impulse to continue fits swing, A free pendulum clock has no work to do. "It is a master clock that has a slave clock to work for it, The actual impulsing lever is released electrically by what is termed the slave clock. In its turn the master clock synchronizes its slave," This wonderful type of clock has no hands, no face, and shows no time to passers by, It is simply a master pendulum, In an hermetically sealed on per cylinder this robot finger si-' lently marks off the passage of | time in space. All its connections are electrical. Its motive power is gravitational.

TABLED IN HOUSE Facts of Canada's Break With Russia, May, 1927, Revealed EMPIRE ACTION Bolshevist Propaganda Car- ried on Contrary to Agree- ment Between Countries Ottawa, March 16.--Canada roke off official trade relations /ith the Soviet Government in lay, 1927, because of a convic- ion in the minds of the Canadian iovernment that the Soviets had 10t fulfilled their promise to re- rain from hostile action against the institutions of the British Em- pire. This is disclosed in the doc- ument tabled in the House of Com- mons yesterday dealing with the quarre] between Great Britain and Russia, which resulted in the Bri- tish Government and Canada breaking off relations with the So- viets, The documents bring out that the British Government drew attention to the fact that the terms of the Russian agreement of 1923 in relation to the United Kingdom would not necessarily terminate the operation of the agreement as between Russia and Canada. But it was suggested by Mr. Amery that "uniformity of action by the vari- ous members of the Commonwealth concerned would present great ad- vantages." The documents are voluminous comprising 20 telegrams, 6 letters, 4 despatches, several resolutions of protest from Canadian bodies-- the Independent Labor Party of Canada, the Sinn Fein Club of Tor. onto, the Workers and Farmers of Central Ontario--Blue books and white papers issued by the British Government, Details are Given The entire situation is gone into in great detail. The documents show that on Feb, 23, 1927, the British Government were contem- plating sending a note of protest to Moscow on the continued propa- ganda in violation of the 1923 agreement, and this protest is en- closed, The Soviets are requested to refrain "from interference with purely British concerns and to abh- stain fronr hostile action or propa- ganda against British subjects."
