MODERN TIME IN TURKEY
Rejuvenated Empire Slowly Catching
Up with the Process
sion.

Consul Milo A. Jewett of Treblzond re-
peats the announcement that there is
demand in Turkey for watches that indi-
cate both Turkish and Franc" time. He
writes
For some years there probably will be
a considerable demand for such watches
In this country and Persia. For
centuries reckoning time in this part of the
world has been based on the assumption
that the day ends and the new day begins
at sunset, which Is called II o'clock. This
was universally observed by the people,
who seldom had watches judging the time
OF day by the sun, this system also being
employed by the civil and religious ad-
ministrations. Watches and clocks made
to keep regular mean time must be changed
almost daily to adjust them to sunset time.
Turkey is adopting modern improve
ments and the more accurate and scientific
reckoning Of time used by the Francs is
coming into use. After discussion by the
government 1t has been decided not to I'M
posN the Franc or mean time by law. 1t
will be introduced gradually. Various ad-
mlnhStrations win employ mean time, and
the people will gradually become accus-
toned to and adopt it, being already In
PRODUCED into most of the custom houses
and in some military bureaus and schools
The building of railroads, which must en-
ploy accurate time, will tend to introduce
modern time. There win be a long period
OF transition from the old TO the new
during which both systems win be in use
During that period many people will want
watches showing both kinds OF time, and
it seems that a good business will be done
in them. Watches of this sort have been
made and sold In Turkey for years. They
were bought only by a few persons. either
foreigners or those having some relations
with foreigners.
There are three systems OF double-time
watches. One has two dials, one dial on
each side OF the watch; another, which
seems more popular and ls more easily
repaired, has two small dials side by side
on the same face. The third system, which
seems to be the best, has a central fixed
dial Tor Turkish time. II is stem wound

GENIUS OVERSTEPS THE LIMIT
A Variety of Social PeriIs Hidden
In the Seeing TeIe-
phone,

It is stated by a scientific journal Of
standing that an apparatus has at last
been devised by means of which people
conversing by telephone can see each other.
To certain classes of persons this may be
all right. Certainly young man in Phila-
delphia, who is engaged to be married to
young woman in Baston, and who daily
communicates with his hearts desire over
the long-distance wire, will get lot of
comfort out OF an invention of this sort;
but after all, II will be something Of an ag
gravation, too, unless some other ingenious
Individual comes along who will invent
machine whereby the Philadelphia youth
can simultaneously squeeze the young
woman's hand. The tortures of Tantalus
are a familiar figure of speech, but they
will seem as nothing alongside of the
youngsters feelings when he perceives the
radiant vision of chosen loneliness before
his eyes, and hears that beloved voice, and
then-oh, well, why expatiate upon the hor-
ror of that situation? There isn't a pair
of lovers in the world who will deny the
advantage to be derived from the wireless
handshake, IL such a thing can ever be
brought into being.
But there are times when we do not wish
the person at the other end of the line to
high character. surrounded by a lot Of
boon companions and with a pretty good
bridge hand in his fist. telephoning home
that he Is Unexpectedly detained down.
town, on business Then again, we our
selves have been hailed out of bed along
about midnight more than once by recent
arrivals in town, and held conversations
Of the most formal sort over the wire, but
clad in a suit Of mauve pajamas which we
wouldn't have exposed to public gaze for
all the abandoned farms in New England.
Time and time again, arrayed In our red,
white, and blue flannel bathrobe, have we
conversed by phone with persons OF social
distinction, who, II they once saw us thus
decked out would erase our names from
their list In q fifty; and as for the ladies
of the average household, with q speeto-
graph attachment on the phone, IL Is
hardly worth saying. so obvious is 1t, that
they could never be dragged to the tele-
phone to answer a call unless they were
dressed for it. All this is entirely apart
from the disadvantage of having the per-
son spoken to gazing into your eyes as
you speak. One OF the chief delights OF
the telephone as It exists at present is the
ease with which man face TO face with
the necessity therefor can prevaricate with
out having his expression give him away ),
and We greatly fear that in this respect
alone the use OF such an invention will de-
stroy, rather than enhance, for thousands

In travelling coats the pockets are
enormous-almost as big as our hand
bags have been-and are buttonad over

coats OF English make, which are well

and buttoned In the approved style.
They are patch pockets, introduced on
the turnback cuff.
Under revers. too. and at the side Of
the sailor collar, are more concessions

often. in fact-quite respectable IN
size and capacity.
But the strangest good news is that

us-cut somehow so that it does not
interfere with the narrow skirt and the

there Short walking skirts are all
equipped with it. and dress skirts are
rapidly falling into line.
