Improvement In
Navigation In
Past 200 Years
Evolution of the Time System Has
Also Been Exceedingly
Marvellous
{ By Associated Press. J

| New York, Aug. 1.-two hun
dred and thirty-nine years ago yes
tcrday the foundations were laid fol
the Greenwich Observatory which
gives the world its standard time
A year later 1t was completed and
approved by King Charles II. Its
erection marked new epoch in the
worlds navigation. Before its estab-
lishment a navigator's voyage was a
laphazard and exceedingly danger
GUS undertaking. The astronomical
tables by which the navigator fig
rlrcd 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
tie navigator could sail his course
accurately until the early explorers
adopted their own The Latin navi-
gators used the peak of Teneriffe iii
the Canary islands, until Riohelieu
called a scientific congress in Paris
in 1880 which decided upon the is
land of Ferro as the first meridian.
This island remained the guiding
mark for the Latin races for many
gerations. The English-speaking
races established Greenwich time
and meridian One of the first acts
of the first royal astronomer was to
compile all the known statistics re-
llting to astronomy and to work out
a reliable table for mariners. Then
il began to set the clocks of England
and the United States.
Today all the clocks of the impor-
tant countries of the world are tick
ing in accordance to their distance
from the Greenwich observatory. All
the worlds navigators are sailing or
steaming over the seven seas on
courses laid by Greenwich observa-
tory. The people Of the United
States are rising from their beds,
opening the days business and eat
ing their meals according to regula
tions laid down by the British astro-
nomers of King Charles reien. The
world is marked off into zones, each
one of which occupies fifteen degrees
of longitude and is numbered ac-
cording to its position in relation to
Greenwich. In the United States
four of these zones exist, the coun-
try having a breadth of fifty-flyc de-
grecs. All the clocks in a zone reg
lister the same hour ACCORDING to
regulation adopted in 1883. This
regulation was promulgated to over
come the seventy N-OHP ulHtltHJ S''0
of time prevailing in the country
heretofore. Today another wtghty
evolution in navigation and the uni
versal time system is in process. 1t
is proposed to use the wireless telo-
graph to verify time. It is suggest
ed that the United States Naval OBJ
scryatory flash its signals of the
hour to ships at sea so that the nayi-
gator can accurately determine his
distance from land by setting his

PROPER HEIGHT FOR BOOSTS
There Are Many Disadvantages in
High Roosts-Eighteen Inches Is
Considered High Enough.

The perches for fowls should be
low. Eighteen inches above the floor
is high enough. There are many dis
advantages in high roosts. First,
fowls of heavy breeds are almost GER
tain to injure their feet when they
fly down from high perch to a hard
floor; this is the way most cases of
bumblefoot are caused.
All perches should preferably be
built SO that they will not touch the
walls at any point. When they do so
it is much easier for lice and mites
to thrive. The fewer creases or
cracks, wherein lice may find lodg-
ing place, about the perches the bet
ter, and II they do ont come in contact
with the walls Of the building at any
point the insect pests will have very
little opportunity to hide. Then, if
the roost poles are thoroughly
drenched with coal oil or some other
liquid lice killer frequently, all vermin
about the perches may be kept in
check.

Pure Bred Poultry.

Despite the constant preaching of
experts, it is safe to say that most
of the chickens of the country are just
chickens-nameless. 1t would be I'M
possible to classify them as breeds.
There are some farmers who claim
that crossbred or "nobred" hens lay
better, and consequently pay better
than thoroughbreds.
The farmer who keeps pure-bred
stock can also sell a uniform product
when he disposes Of surplus stock, old
hens, broilers, roasters, etc. A mixed
crop Of chickens presents an appear
ance of inferior quality, and will never
take the highest quotation.
Another advantage of keeping pure
stock is that one can sell eggs for
hatching-at time when market eggs
sell for the lowest prices-at a very
reasonable figure.

COMBINATION is GOOD
Nesting Boxes and BOOSTS Are
Arranged Together.
Secret Places Afforded the Hens and
Pegchss Are in Position to Allow
Necessary Fresh Air to Cir
culate Without Drafts.

I think l have studied out and made
a perfect combined nesting and roost-
ing box, says writer in the Farm
and Fireside. The nesting boxes are
of easy access and at the same time
so secret as to please the hens and
make them very secure from the hens
learning that pernicious habit, so
often learned in the winter, of eat
ing their eggs.
The roosts are in position to allow
all possible fresh air without draft,
and at the same time allow protection
from severely cold night. The third
important advantage lies in the fact
that it is made so much in section as
to be moved with ease. Every part
is perfectly accessible, so as to be
easily oiled or whitewashed, to pre-
vent and remove disease or lice.
The foundation is a bench. A, is
inches high, which allows the hens to
use the floor space beneath, so that
is not wasted; 20 inches wide and as
long as desired, conforming to the
space available and fowls use it. Re-
member the nests E should be Is
inches square, so the length should
be an equal multiple of Is. The nest
boxes should have a door, B, to turn
down, in front, with sufficient open
space in cracks to allow the hen
little light and yet dark enough to
encourage them in hiding their eggs
and also to discourage the idle hens
from hunting after the newly laid
eggs.
The hens enter at G, at back right

top of the nest is cleated cover Of

faced box without top or bottom, that
sets on the cleated cover and in turn

Is placed a roost of two poles nailed
to 1 by 3-inch strips, "a inches long,
for supports. At the front edge Of
cover is fastened piece Of burlap or
strip of blanket to turn down on very
cold nights after the hens are at roost
Large fowls need a cleated board set
slanting in order to walk up to the
roost. A small box should e set at
the entrance of the nest boxes.
