THE NEW STANDARD TINE.
A Clear Explanation OF the Chang

A Clear Explanation OF the Change.
syst m went into operation on the railroads
and in the principal cities throughout the
United States and Canada 1t is designed to
doawaY with vast deal of confusion, and is
easily comprehendcd after little intelligent
study.
A. present almost every city and town
has its own separate standard of time, which
il established by the passage of the sun at
noon. The only exceptions are found where
way stations have adopted uniform railroad
time regulated from the principal terminus
of the line. When it is noon at Washington
it is 1910 p. m. at New York, Ills q. IN. at
Chicago, Hos a. M. at New Orleans and
about 0 a. m. at San Francisco in
other words il is still the forenoon ia all
places west of Washington and the after
noon in places cast of it, when the sun
passes the meridian of the Federal Capital.
In its diurnal revolution of 800 degrees,
the earth necessarily presents hourly to tho
sun an arc Of its circumference equal 10
fifteen degrees. With this simple unit to
start with, the authors OF the standard time
system have divided the North American
continent into five belts, embracing the
Goth, 10th, 90,h, 10th and 12Oth meridian
lines, which are successfully separated by
an hour apiece OF time measurement The
novelty of the plan consists in adopting Il
single standard of time for each belt in.
stead of many ms heretofore. Thus the
neon hour, taken from the 10Th meridian
will be Simultaneous fer all the Atan,i,
coast States from Maine to Florida, and fol
the Middle States from Ohio to Alabama
The noon hour for the Upper Lakes
the Mississippi and Missouri Valley
and Texas will be taken from the SOL
meridian 50 on. Each time belt bsinl
divided by fifteen degrees, or one hour iron
the next, when it is noon in the Atlan,i,
belt, It will be precisely II A. IN. throu .hou
the Valley belt, 10 n. m. throughout TIN
Rocky Mountain belt, 8 a. IN. in the Pacil
belt, and p. IN. in the Eastern or CANADIAN
belt. Consequently one accurate obscrya
ton will supply standard time for the Who'll
United States, and a travellers wotch will o.
ways show him the correct hour within an
OF the great belts enumerated When h

A GHAsrLY RELIC.
The Head and Face OF Guiteau AZ ]
Looked When Placed In the Coain.


W4SHES9roN, June 23.-It was a fact at
first carefully concealed, and now known
only to few, that Guiteau's face and fea.
lures were preserved. as well as his bones.
] was in the Medical Museum yesterday
when CLERK, whom ! have known In
timately for several years, said to me: (:
would you like to see Guiteau's face ?"
Though somewhat puzzled as to the object
OF such q question, promptly an,
swered in the affirmative, The clerk then
led me to q room where number OF lsrge
jars, filled with alcohol, to preserve vari.
Gus relics, were arranged on shelves. A
cover was pulled from one Of these, reveal.
ing the face and head OF Guiteau lust as It
looked when placed in the coffin, That"
said the Clerk, sis the real face, hair, skin,
eye-halls and features OF Charles Guiteau.
When his body was taken to the Medical
Museum 1t was resolved to preserve not
only his skeleton, but the actual features in
the flesh. That was done by running the
knife clear round the neck, splitting the
skin in q straight line from the back Of
the neck 10 top Of the head, and tearing It

the face. To these were added the eye
balls. This was stuffed with cotton In
way to retain the exact outlines OF the
murderer's Oountenance, as well as the ex.
preston, sewed together and put in alcohol
Just as you seeit now." The head looks as
II it were merely cut from the body and
placed in the jar, as the surgeons stitches
on the neck and back of the head
are not visible. The very sneer Of the
sensual mouth has been preserved, and the
stubby hairs of 0 weeks growth that were
on the upper lip when Guiteau went on
the gallows, are still there. The eyeballs
are, Of course, lacking in vital expression
but even they show but little shrinkage.
The nose is the only feature the shape OF
which has not been maintained, It Is
sunken In the middle as though 1t had re-
ceiyed a blow on the bridge, but the
cheeks, the chin, the mouth, eyebrows,
eyelashes, hair, and everything except the
mouth, are almost perfect in their life.like
