RIGHT TIME OF DAY.
NOT SO READILY DETERMINED
AS ONE MAY IMAGINE.
when It's Noon in New York CITY les
All Sorts of Time, the Same Day
and the Next, in Oth.r Parts of
Uncle Samdom,

The time Of day-ln other words.
nat O'Clock 1t isis a simple matter,
well understood and easily compre-
nended by everybody in a city or in ap-
proXimately the same locality. But
when people are separated. some being
10 the east or the west of others, the
simplicity of the answer to the cues
ton. What time is it? is by no means
so apparent.
Indeed. confusion has so often arisen
Ill consequence of the difference be-
tween clocks, say, at New York and
Chlcago. that 1t has been found decid-
edly advantageous to divide the United
states into time districts. each district
dlftering from the adjoining one by just
one hour of time. Thus in the United
states to-day there are Eastern time
corresponding to the seventy fifth mer-
ldlan OF longitude west from Green
wlch, Central time corresponding to
the ninetieth meridian west from
Ereenwich 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
GreenwicM.
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 ut San Francisco. This division
of time. though not astronomically cor
rect, is sufficiently so for all practical
purposes. Since the adoption of Stand
ard time. as these times into which the
mainland of the United States is divid-
ed are called, the dominion of the coun-
try has been extended. 1t now COM
prises islands in the Atlantic ocean and
islands in the Pacific ocean. Havana,
most people have the idea, lies to the
eastward and southwark of New York.
Instead, it is situated nearly south of
Key West. about midway between
Eastern and Central times. Undoubt-
edly Eastern time will be the time to
which Cuban clocks will eventually be
set

The Cars proposal to check the in
crease of armamcnts is not without n
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 a terrible pro-
portion of their energies and their re-
sources in preparations for war. Though
1t 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 he formed of the gigantic
waste. The following tables, compiled by
st. Pauls. will enable one to compare the
