WISCONSIN STATE NEWS.
A Peculiar Case.

A very peculiar case which nearly BE-
came a litigation, came to light at Milwau-
kee recently. 1t appears that Nick Rode
mund, the man who was sentenced to the
House of Correction for two years about
two weeks since, was formerly employed
about the premises of weIl-known young
gentleman of sporting proclivities. The
gentleman referred to has a large number
OF fancy chickens, in which he takes great
pride. A few days ago he discovered that
Rodemund, while in his employ, had been
getting rich ON small scale by stealing
eggs laid by his thorougl1breds and selling
them to some of the neighborS. Mr.. S.,
the owner, was somewhat incensed at this
discovery and secured the services of a
lawyer, and the two went to the store of
one of the purchasers and demanded the
possession of the eggs, which, by the way,
were eggs no longer, but live chickens,
claiming that they were his property in a
modified form, so to speak. The store
keeper at first refused to come to time,
thinking it rather hard that he should buy
eggs and raise chickens and then be COM
PEELED to give them up, but he finally con-
sented to surrender the contraband prop
erty, and the owner, who cared more for
the chickens than for their value, gave him
enough money TO pay him for his trouble.
The other persons buying the eggs also
came to time.

The several meridians are Indicated
upon the map, as well as the territory
included in the different divisions. The
irregularity in the boundaries is caused
by the various roads wishing to adopt
as their standard the time of the merid-
ian nearest to which the greater num-
Der of their lines are situated.
VALUE OF THE TABLE.
1t may be stated that many of che
towns in Illinois and Iowa are run on
Chicago time. which the railroads run
ming from this city introduced. The
tables herewith printed show the differ
ence between the solar time of those
towns and the standard time. This ex-
PLANTATION may prevent the towns in
question from confounding the Chicago
time, which they now use, with their
solar time
THE ORIGINAL SUGGESTIONS.
The country is indebted to two citi-
zens of New York for the original sug-
gestions leading up to this important
innovation. The idea occurred to Prof.
Cleveland Able, of the Signal Bureau
at Washington, and his plans were elab-
GRATED by DR.. F. A. P. Barnard, of Co
lunnbia College. Prof. Able proposed
his plan as early as 1873, at a meeting
of the American Meteorological Society.
1t is unnecessary to review the many
discarded suggestions made from, time

Railroads of the Country at Noon on

Formerly Fifty-three Kinds of Time

Difference Calculated for Many Cities.
We are indebted to tfle courtesy of

showing the difference between the new
time and the local or solar time of the
leading cities of the country.
A change in time, says the Tribune,
somewhat similar to that which is now
Effected in America, was brought about
IN England as long ago as January 13,
1913, and reform could no longer be
delayed in this country owing to the
complications arising under the old
dispensation. 1t may not be generally
known that the railroads of this country
have been conducted of late years I'M

very slight in some instances, but
enough to make people miss trains

FIVE GRAND DIVISIONS,

The fifty-three kinds of time were
represented on the old railroad maps
by an elaborate system of colors which
would confuse an ordinary observer.
Under the new system there are five
divisions of time on the North Ameri-
can Continent: Intercolonial, embrace
ing Nova Scotia aud New Brunswick;
Eastern, taking in the New England
States, New York, Pennsylvania and
the States south of Pennsylvania; Cen
trail, including Illinois, Ohio, Indiana,
Missouri and the States north and south
of them Mountain, comprising the
roads west of the Missouri River in the
mountains; and Pacific, taking in the
lines on the Pacific coast.
THE FIVE COLORS.
The five colors can not be given in
the map presented above, but the divis-
ions are marked by shades, and the
change will be comprehended at glance
when these facts are recalled. The
time in which the earth revolves upon
its axis is divided into twenty-four equal
parts, termed hours, and for conven-
fence in measuring distances the
distance around the earth from East
to West is divided into $50 parts,
called degrees of longitude. The
surface of the earth, therefore, travels
as many degrees in one hour as twenty
four is contained times in $50, or fif-
teen. From this it is seen that there is
difference of one hour actual time
between each succeeding fifteen de-
grees of longitude around the earth,
faster going east and slower going west.
FIFTEEN DEGREES AN HOUR.
The railroad officials of the Continent
decided to adopt as their standard of
regulation the time of the Greenwich
Observatory, London, England, and as
the longitude in which their roads were
situated was so many times fifteen de-
grees westward from Greenwich, they
made their standard of time that many
hours slower than Greenwich time.
Hence the Goth degree of longitude is
four hours slower than Greenwich time;
the 10th, five hours slower; the goth,
six hours; the 105th, seven hours; and the
10th. eight .hours-thus makingssive diff
ferent standards between the Atlantic
ard Pacific Oceans. These five standards
are shown on the map in the order just
mentioned, VIZ: Intercolonial, Eastern,
Central, Mountain and Pacific time.
MERIDIANS.
The Goth meridian. on which Central
time is based, is nine minutes slower
than Chicago solar time. The 18th
meridian, which gives Eastern time, is
one hour faster than Central time, or
four minutes slower than New York
Citv solar time Tnter-co1onial time
being based upon the Goth meridian is
two hours faster than the Central time
Mountain time, which is based upon the
105th meridian, is one hour slower than
Central time. Pacific time, based upon
the 120th meridian, Is tive hours slower
than Central tifna.
