Some time ago a member asked for
a solution Of certain problem in
Longitude aud Time, but rather
than answer one special problem, !
will discuss the subject generally.
Many persons have a difficulty
with this subject but Il is for lack Of
geographical rather than arithmeti-
cal knowledge A very few things
kept in mind will make the subject
clear They are as follows:
LIST The earth turns around from
west to east in - hours Therefore
in one hour il will turn through | p
81 800 degrees or Is degrees. in /
minute through / 80 Of 10 degrees
or / 3 minutes Of longitude and in /
second through 100 Of - minutes
Of longitude. or . seconds Of longi
tude.
2nd When the sun is just rising
30 you il is after sunrise 20 every one
east Of you and before sunrise TO
every one west Of YOU And the
same Tor any hour In the day.
Bird Since Longitude is measured
half way around the earth east aud
ives, from Greenwich. England, the
distance in degrees between two
points both east or both west Of there
will be- the difference OF their longi-
tudes, while the distance in degrees
between two places one east and the
other west viii be the sum Of their
longitudes.
II you remember aud understand
these things you will only have very
simple problems in addition. subtrac-
tion, multiplication and division Of
compound numbers. In solving or
teaching this subject always keep
your mind on old mother earth upon
whom you are whirling around, not
ON some rule OF solution.
