TIME SIGNALS AROUND WORLD.
Washington Naval Observatory Plans
to Eclipse Records.

The naval observatory at Washing.
ton will make an effort to send time
signals of the new year around the
world Last year the instant which
marked the beginning of the new year
was transmitted over 100000 miles of
telegraph and cable wires, reaching
nearly every important point, even the
interior of Alaska. This year it will
be sent out at midnight on Dec. 81,
and at 1, and o'clock a. m, seventy
fifth meridian time, to announce the
exact instant of the beginning Of the
new year to each of the great stand
ard time belts of the United States.
1t has also been proposed that at the
session of the International Railway
Congress in Washington in May next,
the observatory send out to the world,
as far as telegraph and cable will
carry them, a special series of time
signals in celebration of the meeting.
The authorities at the naval observa-
tory also intend to collect information
relating to the kind of time in actual
use in the various countries of the
world.
