THE STARS AS TIMe-KeEPERS.

Probably the majority OF people sup
pose that the observatorles obtain the
correct time from the sun. When the
average man Wishes TO give his watch

lates the sun not being aware that
a watch which would keep with the
sun around the year would have
TO be nearly as bad as sam weller's.

astronomers depend almost wholly up
on the stars for obtaining accurate
time. 1t is the method OF doing this
which we propose to describe.

careful observations at number OF

HINTS ON WAR BALL00NING.

Miftary ballooning is, happily, TO
the fore and would that the first Alder
shot section had been at Volksrust and
Dundee sooner, for. although the noun
tain will afford facilities for observa-
tion, yet accommodating by balloons can
be regulated TO low or high elevation.
which may be of importance in cloudy
weather. says the London Standard.
one Of the points which retired vet
eran would like to impress upon young
er aeronauts is to ponder over the les
sons to be learned by the experiences
during the Revolutionary war, where
the balloonists Of that day were invit-
ed to descend. so as 20 save themselves
from being destroyed. They i'm their
ord5r had gone up to close quarters,
and. although at Santiago the aerial
observers were at a more respectful
distance. still they were brought down
by shrapnel which splintered about
them. and might have rent their bal
loon from bottom TO top by an unneces-
sarily close proximity to the enemy.
