At the beginning of the new year, perhaps sooner, Bridgeport jewellers and bankers (few others have yet been approached on the subject) will be able to obtain, to the fraction of sec ond, the correct time by electricity as the time ball drops at noon at the national observatory at Washington. Large and handsome clocks, some five feet high, furnished by the company, will be plac- ed in each patrons store. Although in cluding a regular clock movement unlike the Warner dials put in some time ago, by the Bryant electric company, the winding will be done by wire from the company's central office. If, at any time, the clock happens to be a second or so out of accuracy, when the signal is re- ceived, it may be instantly set right by simply pressing button. The charge is said to be only $l5 year, and the per- feet accuracy of the clocks is beyond cayil. .When we get them, said sub scriber swe'l have clocks that we can brag about.'
