Standard time is reckoned by

Always the earth rotates from

This causes the sun to appear to

telescope, or meridian circle, In
Greenwich, and as the immense
nautical as well as astronomical
literature of the world was then
based on this tiny spiders thread,
the astronomers at Washington,
and later everywhere where there
is an observatory, agreed to con-
tinue the custom, they did not
change the grand fundamental base
or world standard meridian from
Greenwich to Washington.
So civilization now rests upon a
piece of spiders thread one inch
long.
Since "a multiplied by Is equals
800, the entire number of degrees
in a circle are included, all the
minutes and seconds, LAO and So
400
Now, when the precise center of
the sun crosses the spiders thread
it is noon in Greenwich. But they
had trouble. The orbit of the earth
is not round the earth moves fast
on January 2, and slow on July 2,
and no two transits are of the same
interval between. And the orbit
of the earth is inclined to the
equator % 10 degrees nearly, an
other source of trouble. Then the
diameter of the sun is 1924 sec
onds of arc, and it is difficult to tell
exactly which is the center. So
they gave up the sun as time
keeper, for ii is worse than a 60
cent round clock
Then they began on the stars,
for their images can be measured
with great accuracy when crossing
the set of half dozen threads, to
secure an average and the true
time of the center thread crossing.
OF course, the apparent melton
of the sun is due TO the axial rota-
ton of the earth. When it is noon
at Greenwich it is p. m. at dis
lance Of Is degrees east. and II
a m 10 degrees west, and so on.
And then they had trouble, for by
going east and west these times,

earth. Who would want to change
