this afternoon as the guests of this
government. They are wireless ex-
perts of the French service and
their mission is to arrange the pre-

determine the exact difference in longi-
tude between Washington and Paris This
will be done through the great wireless
stations at Arlington and OH the Eiffel
Tower.
1t is part of an International series of
observations that are being participated
in by several nations, and will result in
the accumulation of accurate data from

The instruments for making the long

perfected. BY them the element of hui

In the case of the French observatory,
the standard clock is kept in the cata-
combs, ninety feet under ground, where
the temperature remains constant to the
thousandth of degree the year round.
The same sort of observations as those
contemplated in this country have al
ready been exchanged by the French with
England Sweden and Switzerland.
The French officers while in Washing
ton will be the guests of the Army and
Navy Club. A number of dinners and
other entertainments probably will be
given in their honor.
