HOW TIME is MADE.
Uncle Sam Regulates His Clocks b!
One of the Fixed Stars.

Strange as it may seem, Uncle Sam
does not make use of the sun for reck-
oning time, but he turns his attention
to 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
in the observatory is called the trans
lnitter, because it 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
beats of the pendulum of this clock are
sent by electricity over the wires to the
telegraph offices in Washington and
New York. When the telegraph oper-
atOrs hear this sound on their instru-
ments, they know that the noon sigma!
is about to be sent out, and they at
once begin to connect the telegraph
wires with other towns and cities until
in Il minute or two the stick, tick" of
the clock at Washington is heard In
hundreds of telegraph offices. The
beats stop at ten seconds before II, as
a 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 in great many
cities-uSually on top of some prOmi-
nent building, where they can easily be
seen. The one at Washington is on the
ROOF of the state. war and navy depart
ment building, at the top of high pole,
ready to drop the instant the signal
comes over the wire In the govern
ment offices at Washington and in
many places in other cities there are
large clocks connected with the OBJ
servatory by electricity. These are so
arranged that when the II 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 cock NAV
show. In this way hundreds of clocks
are set to the correct time each day.
Well, the moment the sun is supposed
to cross the seventy-fifth meridian the
telegraph instruments give Il 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-

IL COMES 100 HIGH.

change suggested with reference 10
Montanas bnilding at the St. Louis
fair. That would be a radical change
To he sure; perhaps il would be wise
one.
The trouble is that all the plans for
building that have been under the
eye OF the state commission involve
the spending of too much money.
When the members Or the commits.
sion decided that out of the funds at
their disposal they would invest slS..
OOO in a building. that seemed To be
generous allowance. The architects
have submitted plans which. when the
test Of actual bids is applied, mean
AN appropriation in excess OF $4,000.
After uaticnt consultation the commits.
slonris have drawn the line; they
wiu not raise the limit. and in this
decision they certainly are sensible.
The latest suggestion is a log build.

Alhc Chicago exposition Idaho had a
log house, and 1t attracted attention
SO far. therefore. as the merit Of orig.

exhausted the log cabin idea; how.
ever. that consideration is not neces

structure of the same sort for Mon

Thus far only one log building is
scheduled for the st. Louis fair That
is the cabin which was the birthplace

When it comes to the question OF
the cost of a log building g-that is Q
matter into which the members Of the
commission will need 10 inquire.

Great Falls, Sept. 1S.-Reports from

OF the disease have recovered. IL is

The disease is said TO have spread
from one man. a member OF haying
crew. who was taken i'll with the dis
ease in a mild form, and who drank
from the same water cup as other
mcglByrs of the crew. The work of
haying continued. the crew travelling
nom one ranch to another, until the
diseas. finally became epidemic in
lamliys for miles around.
Tho man who succumbed TO the
disease was taken TO Fort Benton

OF G. Il Norris, foreman of one
OF the Power ranches. is affected with
the disease. and Mrs. Norris and TWO
