FIVE GRAND DIVISIONS.
The fifty-three kinds of time were
represented on the old railroad maps
by an elaborate system of coIors 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; Gem
tral. 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.
al 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 conyen-
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
% many degrees In. one hour as twenty
four is contained tiInes' inA $50, or ff-'
heen. From this it is seen that there is
q 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 rs 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-
!, Srees 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,

breds and to insist that the latter must
have their purity of blood indicated by
such words as pure or full blood. But
the dogmatic assertion that the word
Thoroughbred should not be applied to
animals of any class, save the running
horse, is not sustained by American
authorities, nor indeed by many good re-
cent British authorities 1t is quite as
well to use the words "pure " or" full "
as synonyms of thorough" but abund-
ant authority sanctions lheuse of thorough
bred, as applied to breeds of cattle, sheep,
swine or poultry.

The local and spasmodic attempts made
in THIS country toward the enfol cement o.
compulsory education laws have welded
results which should lead 10 their NOR,
rigid application. Col. Dexter A. law
klns of New York declares that the
statistics of every country where education
is compulsory and universal prove that
juvenile crime may be nearly, if not quite
cxlerminated by rigorous enforcement
of juvenile education. The training of a
child from 8 to A." he says, generally
determines whether or not he is to be 4,
criminal. The grand Duchy of Baden, BY
a rigorous enforcement of such law for
seven years, according to their carefully
prepared statistics, reduced crime in that
dnchy 81 per cent, and pauperism %" In
New York the law is not rigidy enforced,
bl the board of education EMPLOYS twelve
truancy agents TO look after the children.
Their labors, imperfect as they must be
with 100000 children to supervise, have
had, according to Col. Hawkins, n most
remarkable effect in reducing Juvenile
crime in that city. For the i've wears
preceding the enactment of the compul.
sorry education Jaw the average number of
yearly arrests of juvenile dellnquents was
1921; for the subsequent five years the
average number of arrests was but S6S,
and last year it was only III, though the
population has largely increased. A sin
gle agent placed 100 young Italian
truants in schools. The decrease in iuve-
nile crimes has been Sc per cent, and
Col. Hawkins says if the board is given
faculties for thoroughly enforcing the law,
ii will make the decrease 60 per cent, and
"close up the recruiting dens for young
criminals" This is fighting crime at the
right end of the line.-BoSton Herald.

blowing to be lost because the whiffle-
trees were not at hand. Some farmers
start out with their spring blowing
without a single pillow point in stock, and
when one is needed, the team is taken
from the field and driven to the store
Snch a loss of time is q serious matter,
and should be thoughtfully guarded
against by ample provision of all such
