In the observatory Of Columbia uni
versity is one Of the most accurate
clocks, according to James G. Fields
of New York. Mr.. Fields Is deeply in
terested in astronomical research.
"This clock" said Mr.. Fields to a
Washington Herald reporter, has run
for several months with a mean error
of only fifteen -thousandths Of Sec
ond and a maximum error OF thirty
thousandths OF. second day. That
means that 1t does not vary more than
half a second a month, or six seconds
a year.
Compare this with the first pocket
timepiece, the animated egg OF Nurem-
berg which required winding twice a
day and varied an hour and half in
the same time. Compare 1t with some
Of the highest priced watches manu-
factured today, which often vary more
than ten seconds a week, and you will
have some idea of the refinement in
the science of measuring. time. Yet
even this accuracy is surpassed by
some famous timepieces. There have
been clocks or watches that have
varied less than q second in periods
as long as ten years.
1.-THE clock at the University Of CO.
lumbia is an astronomical clock, 1t is
surrounded by a glass case, in which
q partial vacuum Is maintained, and
in order that the case may not be
opened or disturbed the winding is
done automatically by electricity. The
clock Is set up in a room especially
constructed to keep it free from jar or
vibration. The temperature and bar
ometric conditions are maintained prac-
ticaIy constant. and every possible
precadtion is taken to minimize the
errors Of the running rate.
TT is not generally appreciated that
clocks Of the present type, although
used as far back as the 18th century,
and possibly earlier, were but fair time
keepers until several centuries later.
In fact, 1t has only been within the last
few decades that really accurate clocks
have been manufactured. Those which
the astronomers used in their observa-
tions at the end of the 18th century
were so unreliable that modified forms
of the water clocks Of the ancients
were often employed as a check upon
them. Galileo's discovery Of the iso-
chronism Of the pendulum from the
swinging chandelier in the church of
Pisa was of great value in its applica-
ton to the measurement Of time. The
invention of the mercurial and COM
pensating pendulum has added mate
rally in cutting down the errors Of the
running rate and controlling the mo-
tions Of clock mechanism"

In view of this possible misfortune,
have determined to commit to paper

Though my heart prompts me tc

Not Create Riot
Sergeant Cole Explains the Disturb
ance that Arose Over Conduct
of Drunken Car Man.

Sergeant Cole of the Signal Corps, takes
exception to the version of the story relat-
ing to the assault on a conductor on the
Florence line near Twenty-fourth and Fort
streets Thursday evening.
Il was on the car myself" said the
sergeant, and witnessed the whole tran
saction. The conductor was drunk or ap-
paTently so and causelessly insulted a
young woman passenger. A soldier of the
Thirteenth infantry, who was on the car
returning to the fort took exceptions to
the action OF the conductor, who was a big
burly fellow. Weighing twenty or thirty
pounds heavier than the soldier. The con-
ductor then applied several indecent and
foul epithets to the soldier and the latter
struck the conductor, knocking him down
and then proceeded to punish him beauti-
fully.
Every person on the car applauded the
act Of the soldier and congratulated him
for his gallantry and nerve. 1 do not know
the name of the soldier. He was q
stranger to me-"
The story I'm reference to the nine mem
bers Of the Thirteenth infantry taking
part In the disturbance at Thirtieth and
Ames avenue, is also denied by Sergeant
Cole.
THE soldiers were returning home from
down town and happened to be at the
point when they overheard some young
hoodlums threatening to do something to
the car as 1t came up. Through curiosity
they stopped to see what was going on.
They were not drunk nor bolsterous. There
was no cause for their arrest. They took
no part in the affair and were exonerated
when they returned to Camp Thayer."
Lieutenant Haskell said he was sorry the
erroneous report had got out, for 1t might
give the visitors. whom the soldiers were
to help entertain, the wrong impression OF
the army man.
W have had seven civilians come to the
fort today" said the lieutenant, ito ask
us not to punish these nine soldiers who
were arrested. as they had nothing to do
with the disturbance and that they, the
civilians, knew this from what they had
actually seen"

LIGGETT HELD BLAMELESS
Discharged from Responsibility for
the Death Of o NJ. Camp
bell by Auto.

The charge Of manslaughter against Guy
has been effaced from the records
at the order of the county attorney, who
decided after the inquest into the death
Of John M. Campbell and the police court
preliminary that there was no evidence on
which to warrant holding or prosecuting
Liggett-
Liggett was arrested some weeks ago on
this charge when his auto struck Campbell
and the latter died from a fracture Of the
skull sustained by falling to the pave
ment But the evidence showed that Lig-
gett was not to blame. Campbell alighted
from a Sherman avenue car and failed to
observe Ldggett's auto, into which he ran
before Liggett had time to save him. The
wheels of the machine never struck the
man. The machine was an electric car and
IL was not going at an excessive rate of
speed. according to the evidence.
