Some OF the eastern railroads propose
TO adopt a twenty four O'Clock time
piece, which is thus described:
The new time piece Is of the kind soon
70 be adopted by several Of the railroads.
The most conspicuous Innovations are
In the marking upon the dial and in the
movement OF the wheels and which run
the hands. The minute hand, instead
OF making twelve revolutions 10 every
revolution OF the hour hand, as in the
ordinary clock, makes twenty four revO-
buttons while the hour hand passes
around once. Tho figures upon the dial
are marked in Arabic, instead of Roman
numerals. They are from one TO
twenty-four inclusive, the spaces be-
tween the figures thus being only half as
great rs those on the dial of the ordi-
nary twelve hour clocks. The minute
hand therefore marks the half minutes
as well as the minutes. The railroads
proposing to adopt the new system as
standard will prepare new time tables,
upon which the distinction between
trains trains marked a. m. and those
marked p M, which is often overlooked
bv careless travellers, Will no longer ap-
pear.

A very formidable movement is being
organized IN Manitoba in favor of seces
sion from the Dominion, and meetings
in furtherance of the movement will be
held in the Immediate future. The pro-
motors complain that the people of the
eastern portion Of the Dominion look on
Manitoba as plumber ground, that al
legislation for that territory is framed
with q view TO make il contribute to the
advantage of Quebec and Ontario, and
that there is disposition to ignore the
views of representative ManitObans.
Special complaint is made against the
high tariff imposed on goods absolutely
necessary to the settlers Of the great
northwest territory, the granting of
enormous tracts of fertile territory 10 the
Canadian Pacific railroad, the opposition
of the Dominion government to the
opening of highway through the ter
ritOry To HudsOn's Bay, and the grant
ing OF mines, lands and valuable fran
chises to companies organized by the po
liticAl hacks of the Dominion. Many
Of the leaders OF the secessionist move

States, which can hardly be at all pleas
