How to Ascertain When it Is Noon.

W. H. c." wants to know how to

of delicate instruments by which the

When the sun is in this position it is
on the meridian, and it is noon at
that particular place. An approxi-
nation may be made by setting up
two plumb lines in such a position
that they ore in direct limo With the
north star; post is then set perpen-
dicular beneath each plumb bob.
When the shadow of the south post
falls exactly on straight line, drawn
from the foot of one post to that of

then exactly in the south. This can
