How Time DIFFER
ENCE is ADJUSTED

The situation of large cities in any
country will cause the local times of
such places to differ by odd numbers
of hours, minutes and seconds. For
instance, train leaving New York at
certain hour by New York time ar
rives in Buffalo some hours later
by New York time. But it leaves
Buffalo by Buffalo time, which is quite
different. This necessitates sort of
jump in the time table at Buffalo, and
jump of an odd number Of minutes.
As each railway usually ran it's trains
by the time used in the principal
city along it's line, it sometimes hap
pened that three or four different rail-
road times were used in a single city
where several roads met. The awk-
wardness has been largely removed by
introducing the standard time system.
According to the modern system,
the whole country is divided into q
series of time zones, fifteen degrees
wide, and so arranged that the middle
line of each zone falls at q point
whose longitude from Greenwich is
60, IS, 80, 105 or 120 degrees. The
times at these middle lines are there
fore earlier than Greenwich time by
an even number of hours. Thus the
75degree line is just five even hours
earlier than Greenwich time. All cities
simply use the time of the nearest one
of these special lines.
This, of course, does not result in
doing away with time differences al
together-that would be impossible
in the nature of things-but for the
complicated odd differences in hours
and minutes we have substituted the
greatly simpler series of differences in
even hours. In certain cases half
hours have been employed to separate
the time zones instead of even hours
as used in the United States.
As the Standard is an American
institution, Uncle Sam may congratu-
late himself upon the step taken today
by France.
Greenwich, by common consent,
has been taken as the world . first
meridian or cardinal meridian, simply
because of the great age and promi
nence of the observatory there. The
working of the system in this coun-
try and Canada may be seen at q
glance from the following table. In
the United States and Canada it is:
a. m. by Pacific time when it is
noon at Greenwich.
a. m. by Mountain time when it is
noon at Greenwich.
s a. m. by Central time when it is
noon at Greenwich.
a. m. by Eastern time when it is
noon at Greenwich.
a. m. by Colonial time when it is
noon at Greenwich.
These figures but reflect the con-
venience of the system. When it is
noon in Great Britain, Belgium, Hol-
land and Spain it is l p. m. in Ger
many Italy, Denmark, Switzerland
and Norway, 1870 p. m. at Cape Col
ony, p. m. in Turkey and Egypt, p.
M in West Australia, 9 p. m. in Jap
an, 10 D. m. in Victoria, New South
Wales and Queensland and IL p. m. in
New Zealand. Such is the table OF
| the world IS time standards.
! The setting of clocks in France to-
! day in one view is trivial incident,
but in another view it is not without
significance. 1t is just another step in
the path of international cooperation
and brotherhood Courier
