The announcement that the Duke of Norfolk engages to find the money to establish a Hevr Roman Catholic See in England has naturally produced a great furore in Fapel circles. The condition which accompanies this princily offer, that the new Brishopric shall have the title of Arundel, is not one to quarrel over in Rome, where the Duke of Norfolk stands necessarily in high favor. Notwithstanding Englands enormous indebtedness to her mechanics, but one mechanical working man has ever been honored with a burial in Westminister Abbey ; and that was Graham the clock maker. Graham made exact astronomy possible by his great improvements in timepieces. He invented the dead beat escapement and the gridiron compensating pendulum, and he was the first to make clocks that would run for many days without winding. Graham was also a maker of great quadrants and instruments of that sort. His funeral was attended by all the members of the Royal Society.
