Two hundred and thirty-nine years

Economical tables by which the navi-
gator figured his position in mid ocean
were so erratic at that time that a ship
headed for the Virginia colony in the
new world was just as liable to land on
the coast of New England. There was
no universally accepted first meridian
of longitude by which the navigator
could sail his course accurately until
the early explorers adopted their own
The Latin navigators used the Peak OF
Teneriffe in the Canary Islands, until
Richelieu called scientific congress in
Paris in 1880 which decided upon the
island of Ferro as the first meridian
This island remained the guiding mark
for the Latin races for many genera
tons. The English speaking races es-
tablished Greenwich time and meridian

astronomer was to compile all this

and to work out reliable table FOL

clocks of England and the United

Today all the clocks Of the important
countries OF the world are ticking in
accordance to their distance from the
navigators are sailing or steaming over
the seven seas on courses laid by
Greenwich observatory. The people of
the United States are rising from their
beds, opening the days business and
eating their meals according to regula-
tions laid down by the British astrono-
mers Of King Charles reign. The world
is marked off into zones. each one OF
which occupies fifteen degrees Of long
itude and is numbered according to it's
position in relation to Greenwich. In
the United States four of these zones
exist, the country having breadth Of
fifty-five degrees. All the clocks In q
zone register the same hour according
to d regulation adopted in 1858. This
regulation was promulgated to over
come the seventy-one different sets OF
time prevailing in the country thereto

A SIGN OF lncApAclrY.

Correspondence from Washington re-
lates that Mr.. Bryan is growing peev-
ish over the everlasting criticism of his
chautauqua performances. So much so
it is said, that inquiry at the DEPART
ment over which he is the official head
as to mis- Whereabouts Is met with the
cold shoulder.
Mr.. Bryan has been in the business
OF selling oratory long enough TO know
better than that. If he is refusing to
let the newspaper men know where he
goes and when, he is an example of the
persons referred TO in the assertion
that whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad. Also. it suggests that
Mr.. Bryan agrees with his critics. He
feels that the criticism is just.
II is just There is somewhat about
Bryans plea that he needs the money
that jars very strongly upon the sem

that Mr. Bryan has been thrifty and is

American believes that he can live
very well in Washington or anywhere
else on a salary OF $1,000 month,

cabinet officer in chautauQua contracts.

country may be involved in war with
g neighboring nation or when a world
crisis impends which directly affects
this country. The general conclusion

ing affairs of grave moment rather
than repeating stock lectures a price

Mr.. Bryan should be kind TO the
newspapers; they made him. II was
they who spread abroad that cross Of
gold speech which was the beginning ..

and laryux following MS nomination.

DR.. FAlacslLD AND TINE HOSPITALS.

DR.. D. S. Fairchild, it is stated
with authority. has been barred from
practice in all the Clinton hospitals.
DR.. Fairchild is president of the Ass3-
citation OF American Railway Surgeons,
vice president Of the American Medical
Association and editor of the Journal Of
the Iowa Medical Association.
The cause of his Punishment from
the Clinton hospitals is presumed to De
the publication by him in a Clinton
newspaper asserting on account of lax
methods Of hospital management, one
life had been sacrificed for every nurse
trained in the operating rooms Of the
local hospitals.
Dr. Fairchild, asserts his statement.
says he knows all he said to be abso-
lutely true and COS on to say that ne
has papers covering 100 malpractice
suits brought in Iowa in six years, for
sS5o,0o0. and O. KID bills for s1s 1000
covering expenses Of trials furnished by
the Iowa Medical Society. He lays the
blame for many of these suits on in
adequate hospital facilities.
DR.. Fairchild is IN position to speak
with authority and his professional
standing and character such as to
command attention. The conclusion
must be that he has serious foundation
for the charges he makes. Setting
aside the possibility that the rnedica
man and the management Of the hos.
