“What do you think of Big Benaskcd Nancy. “Does someone shsk's
now, children?" asked Tick Took,
the clock fairy. "Isn’t he big?"
"Bigger than all the other clocks
In the world put together, I guess."
said Nick.
They were up in the clock tower
of the Parliament Buildings in Lon-
don. the Twins were. Big Ben was
the name of the clock there.
“‘I'll try to tell you all I can re-
member," said Tick Toirli. "Let me
see,— his face is twenty—tour feet
» across and his minute hand fourteen
feet long. It sticks out a little over
the edge of the face, so that is why
it is more than eleven feet long as
it really should be.
“That long iron bar that swings
down in the tower has a weight on
the end tut weighs one hundred
and fifty pounds. That is the great
pendulum and it swings back and
forth to keep Big Ben going.
“By the way, my doors. Big Ben
has four faces exactly like thls one.
Ho isn't two faced. either. for he is
as honest as Old Abe. I’ll take you
along this little hallway and we can
pus behind all of the faces. There!
Didn't I tell you? The numbers are
all two feet long and the space he-
moan each minute mark is four-
teen inches. Look on your clocks at
home and you will see that the
spaces are usually smaller than the
top of a. lead pencil.
“Now. come. and I will show you
the bells."
The Twins followed the clock
fairy into another sort of room. and
there hung Big Ben and all his
brothers. from wooden booms bound
with Iron. Great. chains held the
bulls in place.
_“Do they ring like cannon bolls?"
[firefight
them?" ‘ - 7
“No. indeed!" bald Tick Took»
"These bells never budge. Great-
hammers strike them. Big Item
strikes only the hours—Aha other.
bells strike the quarter and the half
hours. The hammer that used to,
make Big Ben ring was too heavy.
and cracked him. So they turned.
him around and kept on using him.
It didn't make any dirnrenoo st cu"
in his voice. Only they had to ”:3
a lighter hammer. The first hammer .
weighed seven hundred pounds. Tho“
new hammer weighs only four hun-
dred pounds."
“Are the bells heavy?" asked'
Nick. . .
"Well. Big Ben, the biggest of all,
weighs thirteen tons." said Tick
Toek. “His. little brothers weigh'
eight tons. three and one half tons,
two and one half tons and two tons.
Just babies. you might say."
The Twins laughed. "My good.
ness alive!" said Nancy. "This must
be the biggest clock in the world!"
“It is the biggest of Its kind," 1“
said Tick Tock. “But there is l.
clock in Germany with a bigger foe.
or dial. But it has only one hand—‘
:ind it is not so hard to keep go.

"It takes two men five hours to

“In winter so much snow and too

quite difficult to keep everything
going properly. llut his time is per-
