CHAS. F. DOWD.
The Man Who Originated the Idea of
standard Time. .---

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Among the names Of those who have
attained pre-eminence as original thinkers
and oriyinators OF useful inventions must
;.e included that of Professor Charles F
Dond, a. NJ, of Saratoga Springs. To
the unwearied efforts of Professor Dowd
the American people are indebted for the
great change which has recently come over
the railroad travellers dream. TO him
alone are the railways indebted for the uni
vcrsal adoption ofthe standard time. Long
ago. as far back as 1860, when time, so far
As the railways of the continent were con-
cerncd, may be said to have been in state
of chaos, Professor Dowd conceived the
idea of formulating a table of standard
time. While holding the position of Asso-
ciate Principal of the Connecticut State
Normal School he presented the subject in
his regular course of lectures, and in 1860
hc laid the result of his calculations before
a convention Of trunk lines in the city of
New York. While the railway magnates
Of that time were willing to listen to his
theories, and even to acknowledge their
usefulness and Importance, they were con-
tent to let him work them out in his own
way and at his own expense. Returning
10 his home he set to work with renewed
energy, and adopting the Washington mer
;Ian for the national standard, worked out
the local differences for about 5000 sta
tons along the lines Of about 500 railways.
Dividing the country INTO sections Of fit:
teen degrees of longitude each, he publish
ed in 1870 full explanation Of his system.
lie then attended the conventions Of rail-
:oad managers in different parts of the
country and discovered that differences ex-
cecdins an hour were considered impracti-
cable. Continuing his Investigations he
found that Washington and the fifteenth
,neridians were located to far west to suit
the wants of the east and central sections
lie therefore, in the spring Of 1872, chang.
sd the system from Washington to Green
wirh longitude, thus moving the hour sec
tons two degrees east. The system SO al
tered provided for four grand divisions OF
The country, each being one hour apart
from the other, and carrying its own uni
torn standard of time. Over fifteen years
mad Professor Dowd struggled bravely,
and most of the time alone, to secure the
adoption Of system that he knew would
prove of incalculable value to the people
AT large. During that long period he pub
!;~hed his "Time Adjuster," and indexes
:or time tables, and wrote constantly for
:he press. Through the later cooperation
Of Dr. Barnard, Professor Cleveland, and
Chancellor Fleming, and the practical ef.
forts OF Vim. F. Allen, Professor Dowd has
lived while yet in the prime of life to see
his great idea an accomplished fact. He
has done his part; now let the companies
which have adopted and the public which
has benefited by his ideas do theirs. Pro-
