day may have the same number or

tons have agreed to use the date of the
days as they begin on the one hundred

Thus with every place its dates are
counted from midnight to midnight,

that given to the latest new day on

The date is given to each place as soon

When vessels cross the one hundred

a day or add one to the calendar AS
the new date begins on that line, a
vessel sailing eastward across the line
goes out of the area having the new
date and must therefore go back a day.
Sailing westward the vessel enters the

Indeed, confusion has so often arisen
In consequence Of the difference be-

Chicago, that 1t has been found decid-
edly advantageous to divide the United
States into time districts. each district
differing from the adjoining one by just
one hour Of time. Thus in the United
States today there are Eastern time
corresponding to the seventy-hfth mer-
idian of longitude west from Green
wich, Central time corresponding to
the ninetleth meridian west from
Greenwich. Mountain time correspond
ing to the one hundred and fifth merid-
ian west from Greenwich, and West
ern time corresponding to the one hun
dred and twentieth meridian west from
Greenwich.
Owing to this simple arrangement it
therefore follows that when it is high
noon in Eastern time at New York, for
instance 1t is IL o'clock in Central time
at Chicago, 10 o'clock In Mountain time
at Denver, and o'clock in Western
time at San Francisco. This division
of time, though not astrOnomlcally cor
rect, is sufficiently so for all practical
purposes. Since the adoption of Stand

flavor of irony, proceeding as it did from
monarch who not only has by far the
largest army in the world, but who was
also busy increasing his navy when he
made his famous proposal.
European nations spend terrible pro-
portion of their energies and their re-
sources in preparations for war. Though
it may be an exaggeration to say that Eu-
rope is one vast camp. there are something
like four millions of its male inhabitants
constantly under arms as soldiers or sail
ors even in times of peace and when it is
borne in mind that all these have to be
maintained in non-productive work and
supplied with the most costly appliances,
some idea may be formed of the gigantic
waste. The following tables, compiled by
