HOW WE TELL THE TIME.
Origin of Workings of the Present
System of Hours.
From the Baltimore Sun.


Primarily, for the convenience of the
railroads, a standard of time was
established by mutual agreement in
1888, by which trains are run and To-
cal time regulated. According to this
system the United States, extending
from 65th degree to 125th degree west
longitude, is divided into four time
sections, each of Is degrees of longi-
tude, exactly equivalent to one hour,
commencing with the seventy-fifth
meridian. The first (Eastern) section
includes all territory between the At
lanuc coast and an irregular line
drawn from Detroit Mich, to Charles
ton, s. c., the latter being its most
southern point. The second (centraD
section includes all the territory be-
tween the last named Line and an IT.
regular line from Bismarck n. D., 10
the mouth of the Rio Grande. The
third (Mountain) section includes all
territory between the last-named line
and nearly the western borders OF
Idaho, Utah and Arizona. The fourth
(Pacific section) covers the rest Of the
country to the Pacific coast. Standard
time n uniform inside each Of these
sections. and the time Of each section
differs from the next to It By exactly
The Savannah morning news., 1904-02-07

Der Of minutes and seconds and frac-
tons Of seconds, according to the longi-
tude of each particular place.
Another great advantage Of the
present system is that there is a rec
ognized authority everywhere for the
accuracy of the time. This is a mat
ter of great Importance in questions
regarding insurance and other business
matters.
ION Nov. is, 1888, the Naval Observ-
atory adopted the standard time as
adopted by the American Railway AS
ISOLATION, and at noon on that day
standard time was sent out for the
first time. This was seventy-fifth meri-
dian time. Previously the observatory
had sent out daily at noon Washing
ton mean time. The standard time was
adopted previously in the interest Of
the railroads. 1t was chiefly impor-
tant to railroads crossing otner lines
in the arrangement of schedules.
Admiral Chester, superintendent Of
the Naval Observatory, has been in
vestigating the laws relating to stand
ard time, with a view to having it
adopted legally, as it has been practi-
cally, all over the country. STANDARD
time is legal in a few Of the states
and In the District of Columbia.
Canadian time is taken from To-
ronto and Mexico time from Mexico
City. Canada has practically the same
time belts as the United States. Mex
leo has only one time. American
standard time has been extended to
Porto Rico.
The United states Naval Observatory
announced Dec ~ the details of its
scheme to send Geographic time sig
nails throughout the world TO mark
the beginning Of the new year.
The signals were sent out last year
for each OF The four great standard
time belts OF the United States, but
this year II Is proposed not only 70
secure a whole distribution Of these
New Year signals throughout North
and South America by the cooperation
Of the telegraph and cable companies.

A few weeks ago occurred the TWEEN
tieth anniversary of the adoption of
the standard time in the United States,
and 1t was recalled with interest by
scientists and by railroad men. UP to
this time twenty years ago every lit
tie village and town in the country had
It's own time, causing much confusion.
1t was due to the efforts of Mr.. Will
liam +. Allen, secretary of the Ameri-
can Railway Association, with Offices
in New York city, that the old system
was done away with and a standard
time adopted.
Lieut. Com. e. e. Hayden, United
States navy, in charge of the division
of thermometers and time service of
the Naval Observatory at the national
capital, is quoted by the Washington
Post as TO the part taken by the gov
eminent in the adoption OF a standard
time, as follows:
"The adoption OF the standard time"
said Commander Hayden, has tended
to enormously increase the accuracy
of time all over the couptry. Not even
the best watches and clocks will keep
exact time, but must be referred daily
to some standard regulated by the sun
or stars. The standard clock of the
Naval Observatory Is regulated this
way by frequent star signs, and the
daily noon signal is sent out by tele-
graph with an error that rarely ex-
ceesd few hundredths of a second.
moon Of the seventy-fifth meridian
compares precisely TO IL a. m. OF the
ninetieth meridian, the time used
throughout the Mississippi Valley, and
to 10 a. m. OF the one hundred and
fifth meridian, the time used in the
Rocky mountain region. Thus at
present, the daily noon signal furnishes
a standard by which 20 correct all the
watches and clocks Of the country by
merely allowing an hours difference
for each Of the great belts or zones

clocks would have 10 be an odd num-

BATTLESHIPS TO
RACE THE SEAS

WASHINGTON, D. c., April l5-Plans
have been completed for putting the bat
tleships of the American navy through such
an endurance test as no war vessels of any
nation ever have been subjected to. With
in few days the battleship squadron OF
the North Atlantic feet, with several
cruisers, will be rushed across the At
lantic and into the Mediterranean. They
will visit Trieste, Villa Francha and lis.
bon and will return early in August, again
racing across the ocean
This is a part of the comprehensive
scheme for the Improvement of the navy
worked out by the general board, of which
Admiral Dewey is president, II is intended
further to impress the world with the ser.
viceability of American naval ships and to
develop any weaknesses that less severe
tests have failed to reveal. On his way
to Europe it is probable Admiral Barker,
commanding the squadron, will meet the
British North A ,antic feet, which is to
be sent racing across the ocean in similar
test Of speed and endurance.

double-breasted, loose fitting with cutaway
collar, ten buttons on the front and two

The cap is to be bell-shaped made OF
navy blue cloth, with slopng leather
visor. official buttons on the sides and
two gilt straps around the band.
The overeoat is to be made of medium

made longer. The collars on these coats
will be four inches wide and the coats

The uniforms will be somewhat heavy
for summer wear, but the warm season is
