CHANGE IN TIME.

The clocks in France are to be
set back nine miuutes aud twenty
and nine-tenths seconds. Since
1891 the time Of Paris has been
standard for the entire republic,
but the increasing importance of
travel and business between Lon
don and Paris has led to the decis-
sion to adopt Greenwich time.
This will be convenient to the peo-
pie of the United States, as well as
those of Great Britain and France.
