Whist e known as the "nea stand
ard time" was adopted by agreement
hv All the principal railroads Of the
United States af l2 O'Clock noon on
Nov. Is, 1888. The system divides
the continent into ave longitudinal
belta. and nxes q meridian Of time loT
each belt. These meridians are df-
teen degrees Of longitude correspond
ing to one hour Of time. apart. Eas-
tern Maine, New Brunswick, and
Nova Scotia use the Goth meridian (;
the Canadas, New England, the Mid
ale States. Virginia. and the Carolinas
nee the 18th meridian, which is that
Of Philadelphia; the States of the
Mississippi Valley, Alabama, GeDrgia
and Florida. and westward Including
Texas, Kansas and the larger half Of
NebFaska and Dakota use the 9Oth
meridian which is that Of New Or
leans. The Territories 20 the YES
Tern border Of Arizona and Montana
20 by the time Of the l05lh meridian,
which IL that Of Denver, and the
Paei1e States employ the l2Dth meri-
dian. The time divisions are known
as intercOlOnial time, eastern time,
central time, mOantaln time. and Pa
eifie time. A traveller passing from
one time belt 10 another will dnd hIs
watch an hour too fast or too SLOW
according 10 the direction In which
he ls going. All points In any time
division using the time Of the meridi-
an must set their time pieces faster
or slOWer than the time indicated by
the sun, according As their position is
east or west OF the line. This change
Of system reduced the time standards
used By the railroads from nfty three
10 fiVe, q great convenience to the
railroads and the travelling public.
The suggestion leading 10 the adOp-
ton Of this new system originated
with Professor Able, Of the Signal
Bureau at Washington, and was elab-
Grated by DR.. +. A. P. Barnard, Of
Columbia College, New York, The
scheme was proposed In 1878, but was
not adopted until it had been sub

held all the afternoon, and way into the
nieht. There was no place to feed and
no place where food could be obtained.
Banker Seligman and bis party were
we'll provided for, having their own
sleepiDg-car, their own dining.cars, and
A good store OF provisions, which had
been laid in at Denver. The passengers
on the regular train, however, were not
so fortunate, and, as there were many
ladies', the situation began to look
rather blue. Pullman Conductor A. j.
Ricketts,, taking in the situation, went
back to the bankers party and told
them that there were q number OF ladies
on the cars who were in need OF food
and drink. 1t did not take the banker
lorg to answer, and his answer was,
$50 and set your tables, and | will
provide the food" And he did, and he
did it handsomely. lie set his cooks
and servants to work and cooked up
bountiful supply Of everything be had
in store. His provisions were brought
out in such quantity and quality as to
surprise all, and the passengers feasted
on the bankers meal. But he did not
stop here. After feeding all the pas
sengers be turned to the poor railroad
labOrers, who had been working man
fully to repair the damages done by the
storm. To these men he sent his ser
wants with large servers piled heapiOg
full with the good things he had in
store, and every laborer was waited
upon by the bankers servants and
served with a good lunch. The train
afterwards was compelled to return to
Denver and await the repairs of the
road, and with it came the testimony
of all on board Of the good heart and
