OUR STANDARD time.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

4 little more than Il year ago ar
ranscments were completed between
tho French and the American govern
mcnts for Il long series of star obscr-
vations to bc taken and recorded
tory in Washington and the Obscrva-
tory OF Paris. for the purpose of de-
tcrmining the accuracy of the accepted
longitude between the two capitals.
Longitude is the basis of time compu-
tation, so the importance of its ac-
curacy is apparent Simultaneous
observations have been compared be-
tween England and France about once
in ten years for the past half CEN
tury, but the series of observations
just completed is the first attempt of
comparisons of the longitude between
France and the United States.
The longitudes of places in the world
were determined by astronomical OBJ
serNationS made long ago. The crude
instruments and methods employed al
lowed certain ina ccuracieS, which it is
now desired to eliminate.
The observations taken at Paris and
Washington were the most important
is that they have emonStrated the
possibilities of wireless tcleGraphy in
the transmissionS of observation rec
ords for a greater distance than had
been previously accomplished. The
time lost in the transmission of mes
Sd ges recording observations, which
had to pass through several stations,
might easily affect their accuracy. 1t
is gratifying to astronomers to know
that their allowances for these mac
curacies have been so reliable. for the
results of the observations just COM
puted indicate that the longitude upon
which our time is based is practically
correct. Consequently, our time goes
on unchanged.
The idea of making the Paris Wash
ington comparisons from a series of
simultaneous observations developed at
the Internal onal time conference held
in Paris in 1911. Four sets of appa-
ratus exactly alike We're specially man
ufactured for the purpose. A party of
eight persons was appointed to repre-
sent each nation in taking observations
and recording them. Four members of
each party We're in Arlington and four
in Paris during the time of observa-
tion. which began last November and
ended iii April. In order that full al
loWance might be made for personal
differences in recording observations
each party was changed after the first
three months SO that those who began
the work in Paris completed it in
Washington arid those who began the
work here completed it in France.
Even the telescopes and instruments
We're transferred in order that no pos
sibility of inaccuracy should be left
Thousands of stars Were observed dur
ing this period and the computations
have been the most elaborate ever
worked out in the Naval Observatory.

world might be more perfectly certified
The United States Naval Observatory
IN Washington sends the time through

daily time signals from the observatory
make it possible for all clocks to have
reasonable standard of accuracy The
time of the world is really reckoned
from Greenwich, England, and local
time is computed from that. rather
than from observations from the near
est meridian. 1t was adopted first in
the United States, in 1888, by the rail-
road associations and not by the gov

Greenwich time, but computed from
the 18th meridian at Washington, and
again at the 90th. the 1O5th and the
