STANDARD AND LOCAL TIME.

Geographical Local of the Five Lon.
gitudinnl Belts In This Country.
With the enormous increase of rail-
way travelling the necessity arose for
inventing some method of counting
time which should avoid the compiled
lions arising from the use Of local
mean time, which varies with every
mile Of east or west travel. What Is
known as the new standard time"
was adopted by agreement by all the
principal railroads Of the United States
at II O'Clock, noon, on Nov. IL, 1883.
The system. says the Detroit Free
Press, divides the continent into i've
longitudinal belts and fixes meridian
Of time for each belt. These meridians
are fifteen degrees of longitude, cores
ponding to one hour of time, apart.
Eastern Maine, New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia use the Goth meridian;
the Canadas, New, England, the Mid
die states. Virginia and the Carolinas
use the 10Th meridian, which is that of
Philadelphia; the states of the N1issis-
sippi valley, Alabama, Georgia and
Florida. and westward, including Tex
as, Kansas and the larger part of Ne
DraSka ana DAKOTA, use the 9Uln merld-
ian. which is that Of New Orleans.
The territories to the western border
Of Arizona and Montana go by the time
of the 105th meridian, which is that Of
Denver, and the Pacific states employ
the 12Oth meridian. The time divisions
are known as intercolonial time. noun
tain time and Pacific time. A traveller
passing from one time belt to another
will find his watch an hour fast or
too slow, according to the direction in
which he is going All points in any
time division using the time of the
meridian must set their timepieces fast
er 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

Thomas Q. Seabrooke's Opera nom

Harrison, will fill an engae ement at the
Opera House Monday evening. The
conception of the opera is a whimsical
one, and whimsical are the names OF
the characters and the setting OF the
piece. A particularly inviting idea to
the bi0ulously inclined is that on which
the opera is based. Imagiue an island,

OF Robert Mantell, who will hold the

Press says: "Mantel's portrayal OF the
title role is a vivid im personatlon. His
splendid physique, graceful presence
and deep voice, all combine TO make him
an ideal Monbars. His acting through
out was even and powerful, and in the
exciting portions he rose TO tragic
heights that called forth enthusiastic
applause. A hearty recall at the end
of each act measurably indicated the
plea sure derived from his performance.
