Curious Sabbath clocks and Black Forest marvels in clock exhibit
An exhibit features a sundialless Sabbath clock and a curious eight day mechanism that stops at noon every other day. It showcases elaborate clocks from the Black Forest with canaries, quails, and soldiers on a music playing platform amid 22 varied timepieces. A separate note reports a honey cave found on Colonel Wetmore’s Ozark game preserve, possibly miles long, full of honey with bees occupying the cavern.
