» » One of the tourist attrac- tions of central Europe is the astronomical clock that faces onto the Old Town Square in Prague, the capital of Czec- hoslovakia. - The present clock is a reconstructed model. of .the old one which was damaged - byfireat the tail-end of World War II and which pre-dated the birth of Christopher Columbus. Astronomical clocks 'were fashionable in those days and the Prague city council commissioned Master Hanus, an esteemed technician of the time, to construct this one. He suc- ceeded so well that his clock soon 'became the talk of Europe. - According to legend, the city councillors, concerned that Hanus might build a » better and bigger clock for some other city, had him blinded. Friends found him home in bed on morning in a state of fever, his eyes cauterized. The blinded man later asked to be taken before the clock where, after a moment of contemplation, he reached inside and stopped it. Years went by before anyone could be found to get it running again. Theclock isin two parts, an upper section showing move- ments of the sun and moon and time of day, and a lower Prague's old town clock part showing days of the week, months of the year and signs of the zodiac. Visitors to Prague today gather to watch the clock strike the hour, when small doors'at the top open and statuettes of Christ -and the Apostles appear in succession while one of the carved figures on the side, Death the Reaper, tolls the passing of time.
