As a boy Isaac Newton once built a model of a wind
mill. The sails of which would turn even when there is no wind. His elders
looked on him and his toy somewhat warily: was it possible for the young lad
has dealing with the force of evil?
But the secret of the wind mill was quite simple: Inside
the main body of his construction Newton had fixed a wheel, and there was a mouse
in this wheel too.
At the age of fourteen, Newton built a water-clock which told the time as
accurately as any other clock invented to date.
These were still early days for the man about whom it was later said:
“Nature and nature’s laws lay hid in night: God said, let
Newton be! and all was light”
