New York.-If the order of the board
Of education discontinuing the New
York Nautical school is final it means
that the final chapter has been written
In the history of almost the sole re-
naming link between the present day
and the vanished age of the American
merchant service that has been the
model for similar institutions abroad
and was almost unique in this country.
Before the school can be finally re-
garded as abolished. however. the ac-
don of the board must be confirmed
BY vote of the Legislature.
The reasons given by the board for
its action can be summed up In the
statement that the school was not Civ

The Frenchmen will go to Arlington,
near Washington, to make tests at the
government radio telegraph station,
the highest powered in the world. The
ultimate object Is to get at the exact
time of day all over the world.
It has been usual to send the time by
cable, and this method has established
the difference Of time between Wash
ington and Paris within less than a
second. BY flashing between the Ar
Hngton station and the Eiffel tower.
however, it is hoped to fix Washington
time and Paris time within less than
one one-hundredth part OF second.
Surprising there is exactly five hours
difference between Washington and
Paris. !" said Lieutenant Gignon, "a
message from Washington at noon
would arrive in Paris at s p. m. plus
the time consumed In the cable,
amounting to perhaps a quarter Of a
second. %G
1t Is expected that it will be possible
to determine exactly the time OF a fash
between Arlington and Paris. When
this time is found to be, say, one one
hundredth part Of a second. It will be
necessary only to subtract that time
from the time the message is received
to know that at q certain hour at tie

All the chief nations are co-operat-
ing, and when the tests are completed
It will be possible to state definitely
just what time it is in any city.

the firm attitude Of the king and the
backing of the powers which prevent

which she was not prepared.

was demonstrated that the king had
acted wisely. The conflict soon ended
