day measure their time. It consists of a rod whose
horizontal section is a regulär octagon, and the
breadth of whose base is to the breadth of its top as

top a groove on each of its sides to receive a stick
attached to it, which is about 9 inches long. The
length of the day varies from 26 to 33 dundas.
How to use the instrument:—The length of the day
being known, the last-mentioned stick is made to
pass through the groove which is marked with
this length. It is then made to stand perpendicular
to the horizon, facing the sun, so that the
shadow may fall on the side, which marks the
length of the day. Before noon the shadows
show the hours past, and after noon the remaining
hours.
