HOW TIME is MADE.
Uncle Sam Regulates His Clocks ny
One Of the FIXED Stnrs.


Strange rs II may seem. Uncle Sam
does not make use OF the sun for reCk-
oniug time. but he turns his attention
10 some OF the regular steady going
stars, or fixed stars" as they are
called. Every clear night an astrOnO-
mer with big telescope looks at GER
tain Of these stars and makes his cal
culations, from which he can tell just
when the sun would cross the seventy
fifth meridian. One OF the great clocks
i'm the observatory is called the trans
mittcr, because Ii transmits or sends
out the signal that keeps standard
time This clock Is set and regulated
by the star time and then every day
ut three minutes and fifteen seconds
before j. a switch Is turned ON, and the
beats OF the pendulum of this clock are
sent by electricity over the wires 10 the
telegraph offices i'm Washington and
New York When the telegraph oper-
ators hear this sound 90 ,heir Instru-
mcnts they know that the noon signal
is about to bc sent out, ana they at
once begin TO connect the telegraph
wires with other towns and cities until
I'm minute or two the tick, tick" Of
the clock at Washington is heard In
hundreds of telegraph offices. The
beats stop at ten seconds before II, as
n notice that the next tick" will be
the noon signal and so as TO give the
operators time to connect their wires
with the standard time balls and clocks.
There are time balls i'm q great many
cities usually on top of some promi-
ncnt building, where they can easily be
seen. The one nj Washington is on the
roof of the state, war and navy depart
meut building, at the top of n high pole,
ready To drop the instant the signal
comes over the wire. I'm the govern.
mcnt offices at Washington and i'm
many places in other cities there are
large clocks connected with the OBJ
scrvatory by electricity These are so
arranged that when the l. o'clock sig
nal is flashed over the wires the hands
of each one of these clocks spring TO
II, no matter what time the clock may
show. In this way hundreds of clocks
are set 10 the correct time each day.
We'll, the moment the sun is supposed
TO cross the seycnty-ifth meridian the
telegraph instruments give single
tick, the time balls drop, the clocks be-
gin TO strike and everybody in the Dis
trict knows it is II o'clock.-St. Nicho-
