Democratic Candidate for Gubernator-

Chicago, H.. July 31-Representa
tive John p. McGoOrty, democratic
candidate for governor, made two
remarkable speeches last evening,
in which he almost overlooked his
own virtues and praised his party
leaders until the casual observer
might have thought he was merely
campaigning for Bryan.
His first speech was before the
democratic club of the University of
Chicago in Kent theater on the cam

hall, 6512 Cottage Grove avenue,
where the attendance was good. con-
sidering the weather.

joyous" said Mr.. McGoorty, "a time
when they can appeal to the con
science of the American people ard
to that sense of right which sur
mounts party consideration. We have
nominated for the third time for the

25 YEARS Of
STANDARD TIME
METHODS OF MEASURING
TIME WE'RE ONCE NUMEROUS
Prior To November rs, 1888, One New.
er Knew Where One Was At. or
When-Fifty Different Standards
Were Used in the United States
Alone-Eycn Somc Small Towns
Had Two Standards.

Twenty-Five years ago November
is took place that worldwide revo-
luton in measuring time-the adop-
ton of the standard method in the
United States, whose example was
followed later by other civilized coun-
tries. Previous to November is,
r1SSS. the methods of measuring time
in this country were so varied and so
numerous as to be ludicrous. There
were 80 different standards used in
the United States from coast to coast
and on one road between New York
and Boston, whose actual difference
is II minutes, there were three dis
tinct standards of time
Even small towns had two differ
ent Standards, one known as town"
or local time and the other railroad"
time. Naturally this condition Of af-
fairs caused endless complications,
and railroad officials were harried to
the point of despair in their efforts
to make out time tables that could be
understood by the lay public.
There were many minds which
wrestled with the problem. As early
as 1869 Professor Charles F. Down
of Saratoga, y. Y, worked out a the
ory by which he proposed that time
should be regulated by meridians OF
one hour apart. Sir Sanford Fleming
presented a plan based on the "a
O'Clock notation The plan which
was finally adopted and brought into
practice was worked out by W. F
Allen OF New York, secretary and
treasurer of the American Railway
association.
At noon on November Is, 1883
there was general resetting OF
watches and clocks all over the Uni
ted States and Canada. and the -four
great time zones. one hour apart in
to which the continent is divided
came into being. So smoothly did
Mr.. Aliens plan work from the be-
ginning that the general readjustment
was accomplished without great diff
| ficulty. and it has worked satisfactor-
| ily ever since. Other countries were
quick to take notice of the conve-
nience of the new arrangement, and
the majority of them have adopted
/ the same system.

Concrete Floors for Big Lake Vessels.

One of the Great Lakes steamship
companies, which operates fleet of
vessels engaged in the ore-carrying
trade is building concrete floors in
its big steel ships.
The company was long confronted
with the problem of constructing bot
toms in the vessels which would do
away with the constant repairs and
the construction of new floors. When
the vessels made the up-lake trip 1t
is the practice to pump water into the
hold for ballast, and the alternate
wetting and drying results in the rot
ting of wooden floors. In addition
to this evil, the wood floors are east
ly broken up and torn out by the
huge grab buckets employed in un-
loading the ore at the docks. The
concrete eliminates the rotting out
process and effectually resists the
abuse of the grab buckets.-Popular
