TIME, PLEASE—The carved wooden figure holds a sundial and is used as a wallpiece. The figure is from 18th century England.
Oldest Thing In Clocks Displayed In Museum
If your buzzing alarm frightens you in the morning, imagine waking to the sound of a small cannon.
A clock with such an alarm device is one of the 34 timepieces on display in the Dr. Maurice Jones' timepiece collection in the Museum of Art.
The cannon alarm is triggered by the rays of the sun shining through a small magnifying glass mounted over it. The clock was made in England in the 18th century.
Dr. Jones, a Wadsworth, Kan. physician, was graduated from KU in 1924. He gave the timepiece collection to the University in 1952.
Intended to illustrate the various methods of recording time, the collection is located in a room off the second follor main gallery of the museum.
The oldest piece in the collection is a silver pocket watch made in Germany in the 15th century. It is heavily carved and in the shape of an egg.
Other unusual timepieces include an intricately carved ivory cabinet clock from 16th century Germany, an English water clock dated 1712, a

Mapping Rocks Key To Oil
Mapping different layers of rocks according to their relationship with the rocks in an area may prove more successful than other methods in tracing the history or in finding oil, L. L. Sloss, professor of geology, said Friday.
Prof. Sloss, who is from Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., gave the first in a series of lectures to be presented this year by the American Assn. of Petroleum Geologists.
Prof Sloss said, mapping rocks into different sub-divisions doesn't offer the practical value as does mapping the rocks according to the wav they are situated with the others. "This method produces the best basis for prediction," he said.
"We frequently have a difficult time in integrating and handling of separate pieces of data so the whole picture may be seen.
"We could pick out each type of rock by itself, but we are concerned with its relationship to the layers of rocks." Prof. Sloss said. "In the next decade, instead of putting information on paper we are going to be putting it on IBM cards."

Even 'Uncle Jimmy' Reads The Kansan
Even statues presume to read the Daily Kansan. If anyone walking by Green Hall Monday evening had looked up at the statue, they would have noticed a Daily Kansan neatly rolled up in the fist of the student.
This shows a wise choice on the part of the student, for he too wants to keep informed on the latest happenings on the campus!
