5000 miles out at sea. 1t is radio-tel-

Put in possession of the chrOnomet-
ric time, the sailor determines the ex
act spot where the ship is at that
moment. He calculates the longitude
and the latitude with absolute correct
ness. The Importance of this exacti
tude lies in the fact that it allows Of
the correction of serious errors. The
best marine chronometers in use are
subject, after a few weeks or months
of navigation, to variations of two or
three seconds or more, and each error
of second in time corresponds to
the exact position of the ship. A

them. Health is gradually under
