shape shown in Figure 1, a circle may be 
drawn after the diagram and hour lines 
have first been reproduced as in Figure 1. 
This is shown in Figure 3 ; notice that the 
hour figures are placed where the hour 
lines join the circle. The dial as de¬ 
scribed in Figure 1 is 6 feet 10 inches by 
5 feet 4 inches square, without considering 
the figures on the sides and top. By mul¬ 
tiplying each and every measurement 
shown by 2, the dial may be doubled in 
size; or working in the same way, other 
sizes may be constructed. 
The sun, rising in the east, first begins 
to register on the 6:00 a. m. line, and 
thence around through the hours of the 
day its shadow creeps, until it passes off 
the dial at 6:00 p. m. 
Various decorative schemes wfill no 
doubt suggest themselves to the reader, in 
connection with this subject. Dials of this 
sort are comparatively rare, owing ordi¬ 
narily to absence of data regarding the 
necessary measurements.

Birds 
(Continued from page 376) 
'They lay well enough to furnish a con¬ 
siderable number of table eggs but need 
good care. 
The White-Faced Black Spanish breed 
is very old and very odd. Their chief 
point of interest is a long white face, 
which makes the birds of both sexes look 
as though wearing bibs. Fanciers try to 
keep these faces free from wrinkles. The 
plumage of this breed is rich and glossy, 
so that the Black Spanish fowls are de¬ 
cidedly ornamental. They make a strik¬ 
ing appearance on the lawn. They pay for 
their keep, too, for they lay a large num¬ 
ber of white eggs. 
Floudans belong to the French class and 
they, too, have crests, while every fifth 
feather is tipped with white, which gives 
them a curious mottled appearance. Be¬ 
ing tame and friendly, these birds are 
found on many estates and are much ad-
