First in the matter of prac-
~ teal invention, anyhow! For
- that much mooted plan of the
Europeans to prolong daylight by put
ting the clock ahead has been prac-
ticed quietly but successfully in CleVe-
land, O.. for the past two years.
So notable have been the advantages
gained by this made in America de-
vice that Detroit. Cleveland's sister
city. has adopted it; a number of Ca
madam cities have come into the ring,
and ever Chicago is thinking seriously
of the project.
1t all began with this stern and IN
1mpassioned ordinance:
Be it ordained by the council of the city
OF Cleveland, state of Ohio:
Section l.-That the standard of time
throughout the city of Cleveland shall be
that of the Seventy-tifth meridian of Ion
gitude west from Greenwich. known as
eastern standard time" Municipal Of
fees and legal or official proceedings of
the city of Cleveland shall be regulated
thereby, and when by ordinance, resolu-
ton or action of any municipal officer or
body an act must be performed at or
within a prescribed time it shall be so
performed according to such standard of
time.
Sec. 2.-When a clock or other time
piece is in or upon a public building
maintained at the expense of the city of
Cleveland, the board, commission. officer
or other person having control and charge
of such building shall have such clock or
other timepiece set and run according to
the standard of time as provided in sec
tion l hereof.
Sec. 3.-This ordinance shall take effect
from and after the thirtieth day Of

Seal Steak Is Good, and So Ara rho
Breasts and Eggs Of Penouina.
In the antarctic there is not the i'm
mense variety OF game which is TO he
ound in north polar regions; but. on tbe
other hand, it is very abundant and
can be turned into food with the small
est exertion. The Weddell seal. which
sometimes weighs as much as half ,
ton. allows itself to be killed and cnt
up with placid calm. Its natural en-
emies are in the water, and for long
generations it has been accustomed to
bask In h sun undisturbed.
Seal steak is an acquired taste. but.
when acquired explorers prefer it to
timed provisions. 1t is a common
assumption that seal flesh tastes of
train Oil. That is Il mistake: the flesh
Itself contains no fat. but it is extreme
~ rlcn in blood, and in taste suggests
the Scottish delcacy known as black,
pudding.
l'enguins. too, make a very desirable,
addition to the antarctic larder. Epi-'
cures eat only the breast. which is,
rather like hare, but OF a more delicate,
flavor. The eggs. which are very
abundant in the spring, suggest ducks
eggs but are about four times as big.
They are excellent eating if you hap,
pen to pick a new laid one, but this is,
naturally something Of a lottery, and q,
penguin egg can be very bad indeed

light been conferred upon the men, wo-
men and children Of Cleveland. bur
this city has 'let her light so shine"
that her sister city Of Detroit has
adopted the same system with the
same beneficial results.
For Eastern Time.
The adoption Of Eastern standard
time by the city of Cleveland was the
result of considerable careful and
palistaklng study on III part of a
special committee Of the Cleveland
chamber of commerce. 1t was on Oct.
j. 1913, that the Cleveland chamber
authorized its president ITO appoint Il
committee to study and report to tie
board on the advantages to be derived
from the establishment Of Eastern
time in Cleveland, and its diSulvan-
tages if there be any The project. as
considered by the committee, was pri-
marlly that Of securing more daylight
for the community during the active
hours of h day by advancing the
hands Of the clock one hour.
The committee at the beginning of
its d"eliberation considered the change
to eastern time both with regard to
Its adoption by the state through leg
tslative action and by Cleveland alone.
The arguments for both are practically
identical. 1t vas assumed that the
railroads would not be compelled to
comply with the action that might be
taken in the cOnsummutiOn Of either
plan of adoption"
Here are a few facts with regard to
the hours of daylight in this latitude:
Light before the sunrise and after sun
set varies from fifteen minutes to one
and 4 half hours, depending upon
