FROM BRAIN TO HAND.
How Standard ii,. Is secured-Ths
Fraction of Time Lost

How Standard ,nu Is souur~d-Ths
Fraction of Time Lost
L read an interesting article the
other day on how standard time is
secured" said New Orleans college
professor. but 1t omitted one import
ant point which was explained to me
by member of the Smithsonian stan
the last time l was in Washington.
The time observations at the different
observatories, by which the standard
is established. are taken by noting the
exact instant at which some certain
designated star crosses a line on the
object glass of the telescope. The in
strument is pointed at the star. and
as soon as 1t touches the line the OBJ
server presses button that makes a
mark on the slowly revolving cylinder.
The cylinder is divided into spaces
corresponding to minutes and seconds.
and the mark consequently indicates
the precise fraction of time at which
the star arrived at a given place in the
sky. How that is checked against
other observations. taken at different
localities in exactly the same way. and
forms the basis of calculation by
which the chronometers of the world
are adjusted. is something l won't at
tempt to explain. The point I had in
mind is this: The pressing of the but
ton and making the mark on the cylin-
der is theoretically instantaneous. but
really 1t isn't. Between the instant
that the observer sees the star touch
the line and the instant that his fin
ger pushes the button is brief lapse
OF time consumed by the transit Of
the impulse from his brain to his hand.
To the non-scientific man 1t would
seem absurd to take account of such
infinitesimal intervals, but in delicate
calculations they are highly import
ant Not long ago an instrument was
built that records the exact speed of
brain impulse In different people, The
subject is told to press a button as
soon as figure appears on dial, and
1t takes the average person nearly half
a second to do SO. That interval, re-
quired by the nerves to do their tele-
graphing from the eye to the finger tip
is now taken into consideration in
making the computations for standard
time. By falling to allow for 1t in the
past, the chronometers have been in
error from five to ten seconds a year.
The detail is curiously impressive, be-
cause 1t shows what extraordinary
pains are taken to secure absolute ac-
curacy.-New Orleans Times-Demo-
