WONDERFUL AND INTRICATE PROCESS
FOR MAKING UNITED STATES TIME

called the meridian of Washington,
IL is a certain time. The operator
watches for the stars through a tele-
scope, the field of which is covered
with fine wires.
As the stars reach a certain point
in transit the operator presses a key
in his hand A contact is made and
recorded on chronograph. The
chronograph consists of a cylinder
covered with paper. A fountain pen
rests on the papes. 1t is held by an
arm attached to the mechanism. The
cylinder revolves once a minute and
the pen moves along the surface of
the paper, making a spiral line.
A sidereal clock of the finest make
is running in a vault underneath the
observatory. With each tick of the
clock there is a contact of two points.
These two points are attached to
wires that lead to an electromagnetic
attached to the arm and holds the pen
of the chronograph. The clock is
so adjusted that each minute the pen
jumps to one side. Consequently there
l. a break in the line.
Observer Watches Stars.
There are other breaks, too, when
the observer watches the stars across
the lines in the field of the telescope.
The mean time thus recorded for each
star after being corrected for errors,
is the clock time of the stars transit.
Whatever difference there is between
this clock time and the sidereal time
| marked by the transit of the stars Is
the error of the clock. From these
astronomical observations the sider-
cal time Is obtained. The error am
cunts to but little, rarely being more
than from five-hundredths to ten one
hundredths of second.
The sidereal clocks are wonderful
pieces of work. They are made in
Berlin by a man named Riefier
There are two clocks which may be
used in automatically sending out the
time, so If one should break down the
other would be ready for the emer-
gency. These clocks are made ac-
curate by comparison with the sider-
cal clocks.
The time of sending a flash over
the wires Is practically nothing. A
flash has reached Greenwich, Eng
land, in three-tenths Of a second.-N.
Y. Sun.

OLD AGE PENSIONS
LIKELY IN FRANCE

Paris.-The French senate has re-
cuss the bill which deals with work
mems pensions. The chamber of
deputies passed a workmen's pension
bill two years ago, but it failed to
indicate the necessary means of put
ting it into operation. The senate re-
garded the bill as quite impractical
BILE, since the question of where the
money was to come from had virtu-
ally been left unsolved. The senate
set to work to revise the original
but for the recent proof Of dangerous
unrest among the working classes,
who are complaining that parliament
is neglecting their interests, the sec
ond chamber would have allowed thu
study of the measure in committee
to drag on until the general elections.
The government rightly feels that
such procrastinatlon is lmprudent,
and that there is no time to be lost
If the radical party is to return to
the electors with anything tangible
to show for four years of parliament
ary work. The prime minister an
nounced only three days ago in the
chamber Of deputies that he intended
to complete his program before the
close of the present legislative period
A workmen's pension bill would be
for him and for his party an asset
far more acceptable than an income
tax measure.
The funds for old age pensions will
be contributed by the employe, en-
ployer and the state. The contribu
tions of the employe, to which will
be added the "majorations" of the
state will be capitalized for the pay
ment Of pensions, while the contrl-
buttons Of the employers will, with
the state subvention be distributed
Immediately among the interested
parties. The obligatory annual con-
tribution Of the workman will
amount to $t.2O, and it is anticipated
that additional optional contrlbu-
tions will raise 1t to an average Of
$1.S0. The employers annual con-
tribution for each employe will
amount to the same sum.

A few minutes before Il o'clock,
noon every day in the year a young
man walks into a certain room of the
main building at the Naval Observa-
tory, which is set up on hill in the
northwestern part of the District OF
Columbia. He glances at the various
clocks in the room and then goes over
to a table which is covered with cleo
trio apparatus.
He watches the clocks to his left
closely and waits for the hands to
reach five minutes to u. AS the Sec
ond hand approaches the 60 on tns
dial he prepares to shift a switch. The
clock is so finely adjusted that when
the second hand points to so it ex-
actly marks the beginning of a new
minute.
As il touches the so the switches
are thrown on. That starts signal
that goes out instantaneously over
900, 600 miles Of telegraph lines. In
Washington. New York, Buffalo,
Cleveland, Newport, Baltimore, New
port News, Norfolk, Savannah, New
Orleans. Key West, Galveston, Chi
cago and elsewhere the time balls go
up on their poles. People know that
it is five minutes before noon, Wash
ington time.
Contact of Electric Points.
The clock which keeps the time in
the observatory ticks on. With each
tick there is contact of electric
points A circuit is closed and an In
strument on the table similar in ap-
pearance to a telegraph sounder ticks
away loudly.
It goes on to the 29th second, then
skips one tick, then resumes its steady
sounding until the last five seconds,
then there is another gap. These gaps
are for the purpose Of giving listen
ers at other ends of the great system
of wires a chance to know what part
of the minute the clock is on. So 1t
goes up TO the last minute.
At the 29th second there is again
the skipping Of one second. Finally
the clock gets around to the 50th Sec
ond. The circuit remains open for
ten seconds. There is silence all al
ong the telegraph wires.
At the other ends, where there are
time balls or merely train operators,
the long pause indicates that noon Is
almost there. The second hand
makes on toward so and finally reach
es the mark. Then there is another
click, in about a second the sounder
L. i nf
thousands Of people that it is noon
in Washington that the Naval Obser-
vatory says so, and that the Naval
Observatory Is now one Of the best
time-keeping institutions in the United
States.
Operation is Wonderful.
1t is a wonderful operation, this
getting the time, and highly technical.
Finely adjusted clocks, chronographs
and other instruments Of great value
are used and the taking and record
ing Of the time has reached a point
where the human equation is practi-
cally eliminated.
The results obtained are Of great
value, particularly to marines. The
time is not only flashed to hundreds
Of people in the United states, but 1t
is sent far out to sea by wireless. A
cable carries the flash to Havana, an
other sends it down to Panama and
Callao, Peru.
