QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Autoist. -Question: Have you any
idea of the number of automobiles in
use in the United States and their
normal increase annually? Answer:
1t is stated on presumably reliable
authority that there are 2,500,00 au
tomobiles in round numbers in use,
and it is claimed that one of every five
OF this number will have to be replaced
yearly, which insures an output, with
out any increase in the number OF
users, of 100000 cars every year. That
is eight times the output Of cars il
1906, or only ten years ago.
Inquirer. Question; Could you eX-
plain what is meant by standard
time" and how it came to be adopted
by the railroads, and when? Answer:
IL must be borne in mind that moon
sun time is the moment when the
sun is at its highest point in the
heavens. That means OF course, that
noon does not occur at the same mo-
ment in different longitudes. The
confusion of schedules, or raill DAD time
tables, resulting from this circum.
stance caused the railroad companies
to divide the country into belts or zones
in which the railroad or standard time
should be uniform.
The United States adopted standard
time in 1883 on the initiative OF the
American Railway association, and at
noon of November Is, 1882, the tele-
graphic time signals sent out daily
from the Naval Observatory at Wash
ington were changed to the new sys
TEN, according to which the meridians
