Time Crazy Moscow.

Moscow seems to be city where no
body knows with any degree Of GER
tainty what time it is. Arthur Sy-
mons in his book on "Cities" says that
no two clocks in Moscow agree. Even
in the best hotels clock will sQlemnly
strike quarter of an hour before Its
neighbor strikes Z. The confusion Is
increased by the fashion of sticking up
dummy clocks in the streets as adver-
tisements. The maddening moment
comes when you have to catch train
at Moscow. The railway time tables
are worked on st. Petersburg time,
which differs by half an hour from
Moscow time. When you are told that
the st. Petersburg express leaves at o
o'clock you are In doubt as to whether
1t leaves at $50, 0 or $50 by your care
fully adjusted watch.

satisfactory the hinge door Is, always

the double hinge door, as 1t Is common
ly seen, the lower one can be closed
and the upper one left open so as to
allow better ventilation and light.
Where there Is wide door the hinge
IL impracticable, and then the track
hung door will have to be used. But
that, when closed, liz entirely closed
