NEW YORK TIME.
IL Is the Standard Used I'm All Our
weather Bureau stations.

1t Is the standard Used I'm ALI Our
weather Bureau stations.
When we read report from any of
the 100 regular weather bureau sta
lions throughout our land bringing the
information that a rainstorm, tor
nado or some other meteorological phe-
nomenon began at certain hour we
need not suppose that the hour men
toned refers to the time ait the place
where the observation was made. The
hour given Is the exact New York time,
for every clock at the regular weather
bureau stations all over the land is set
to the seventy fifth meridian, or east
ern standard time, which is exactly
five hours behind Greenwich time.
Only this standard of time is used
in the text of the Monthly Weather
Review, and all weather bureau OBJ
servers are required to record observa-
tions by it. The reason for this is that
the best scientific deductions from the
weather reports must be based upon
the conditions of the atmosphere exist
ing simultaneously in different parts
of the country.
1t would be very ludicrous if all the
hundreds of reports sent daily had to
be changed at the central Office in
Washington from local to eastern time,
and SO all the regular observers are re
| quired to use the New York, or eastern
time, in making their reports.
There are many volunteer observers
and newspaper correspondents who in
reporting weather phenomena use 9TH
er standards of time. Ii the weather
bureau has occasion to use their re
ports the time is often corrected to
agree with the eastern standard or the
local standard is mentioned Detroit

The saliva.

The poisons of some of the common
and also some of the most loathsome
diseases are frequently contained in
the mouth. In such case anything that
is moistened by the saliva OF the in
fected person may, If 1t touches the
lips of another, convey disease. The
more direct the contact the greater the
danger. 1t is believed that much can
be done to prevent contagion by teach
ing habits OF cleanliness. But Ii such
instruction Is to be effectual 1t must
be continuous. The teacher in the pub
lie school should notice and correct yio-
iations of these rules as habitually as
violations of the more formal school
rules are corrected.

IL Has Perhaps the Finest site For =
city In the world.

City In the World.
Constantinople looks much better
from the water than Ii does when view
ed ashore. The tourist who touches at
the port. remains on board and sees the
city only from tile sea retains an en-
tirely different impression from that of
him who goes ashore, Seen from the
water, Constantinople Is very beauti-
full. Seen from the shore. it is the
apotheosis OF everything that is filthy
and foul. do not say that 1t is un-
worthy OF q visit. but do say that he
who stays on board will take away a
much more picturesque impression.
The site of Constantinople is ideal
There is probably no finer site for ii
city in the world. 1t is situate on the
Bosporus, between the Mediterranean
aud the Black seas. 1t lies between Eu-
rope and Asia. for Scutari is part of
Constantinopie. and Seutari is on the
Asiatic shore. 1t is cut of by natural
boundaries into municipal divisions.
for the Golden Horn divides Stamboul.
the Mohammedan, from Gaaata. the
Christian, city. So the Bosporus d.
vides Scutari. the Asiatic. from Con-
stantinople. the European. city: vet all
of these places make one great city
under the general name of Constants
nople. And this great city Is guarded
also by nature. lit has the sea of Mar
mora close at hand. with Notifications
at either end of this great water high
way. rendering the city unassnilable
BY sea. 1t has peninsular conforma-
ton which also renders 1t. properly for
titled impregnable by land as well as
by sea. 1t is as IL San Francisco were
to have batteries OF heavy artillery all
around her water front. from India
basin to the presidio. from the preside
to Lake MERGED and then across the
neck of the peninsula from Lake Mer-
ced to India basin. With all these fac
tors In it's favor no wonder that Con
stantinople has always been looked
upon as an ideal site for a city. That
so many races should have battled over
Byzantium for so many hundreds OF
years is not surprising. -Argonaut.

Tourists in the Austrian Tyrol and the
remoter regions Of the Swiss Alps Of
ten come across strange peculiarities of
dress. especially among the females in
those out of the way places. In the
little village of Champery. which nes-
ties almost under the frowning Dent
du Midi, the women dress like men and
may often be seen in the fields. Nat
urally they are objects of much inter-
est to tourists. but the women do not
seem to be at all uncomfortably con-
scious of the peculiarly of their garb.
The peasants of Champery are a sim
pie, kindly folk, and doubtless find this
novel dress more accommodating to the
hard work they have to do.
