REGULATOR OF LONDON TIME
Woman Implicitly Trusted to Keep
Timepieces Of Great City Correct
to the Second.

Women are sometimes accused of
not being on time. so It may be sur
prising to some persons to learn that
London's champion timekeeper is q
woman. Miss Anita Belleville has an
Office unlike any held by a woman in
any other part of the world. She acts
as purveyor OF the correct time in Lon
don.
With her chronometer. which Is one
OF the most perfect in the world and q
triumph Of the watchmake.'s skill, she
calls at the Greenwich observatory
once q week and checks her instru-
ment by that Official time, then carries
Il around to her clients. A great many
Of her clients are watchmakers. who

Amer distinctions than any other in

found to be much more exact than the
electric clocks thar r sct from :

I days ago at the observatory. her chro-
nometer was found to have varied only

This instrument has been carried all
over London. but is apparently it'll,
affected by travelling on train, bus and
electric tram, for 1t has v deviated
more than so seconds from Greenwich
time in q week.
Miss Belleville has inherited hel
unique occupation. Her father, Henri
Belleville, got PERMISSION from the 40
tronomer royal about half a century
ago to take the correct time from thu
observatory. where he was employed
by c~hronometer makers. After his
death his wife carried on the business
and now his daughter is keeping N
the work by bringing the time u
watchmakers all over London.

Or. Eliot on Education.

DR.. Eliot says: THE practise o.
England and America Is literally cen.
turtles behind the precept Of the best
thinkers upon education" Is it not
humiliating that an American Is forced
to make such an admission concern
ing our most vital American institu-
ton?
What can be done? How can this
wasteful school system be speedily
remedied 81 that it fills its real func-
ton and sends out into the world
boys and girls developed according to
their individual talents as far as those
talents permit? 1t Is a big question,

when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe

While visiting my mother-in-law I
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me It was
easy to make good coffee when you

MARSHALL CLOSED UP
KINGS NOVELTY STAND

Acting upon the advice of City At
torney /. l.. Hubbell, Marshal Meginley
went to the residence of Frank Davis
on Front street Tuesday afternoon and
picked up Jud King. who was operat-
ing a cigar and novelty stand on the
lot. He was brought before Justice
r. Il. Lapham and charged with
operating a stand and selling mer-
chandise, trading. etc, within the city
limits of Bedding without first taking
out license
King was not very talkative in court
and in that case the court had to de-
eide the plea as not guilty. The date
OF Kings hearing was set for next
Tuesday morning. King claims that
he had rented the space on the Davis
lot and for that reason did not think
that he was liable under the law. His
bond was placed at 500. He was re-
leased on his own recognizance.
