The increasing rapidity with
which we travel and do things, and
the constantly growing use Of all
kinds of swiftly running machines,
such as automobiles, render the
ability to mentally reckon time in
seconds a very useful, practical
requirement. Fortunately, it is not
a difficult thing to learn
Probably the best methods is by
simply counting at a regulated
speed, which may be easily at
tanned by practice. You may
either count aloud, or only pro-
nounce the numerals mentally,
giving them the same time value
that they would have if spoken,
and making each of sensibly equal
length, that length being equated
to the duration of one second. A
well-recommended way is to do the
counting by saying to yourself, at
the average speed Of ordinary con-
versation: Zone thousand and one,
one thousand and two" and so on,
the zone thousand and" being add
ed to each real number counted
in order to fill out the time to the
measure of a second.
Teach the Hand to Beat the
Seconds With Accuracy.
A little practice with a watch in
your hand will enable you to so
regulate your counting that soon
you can dispense with the watch
and yet keep very satisfactory
step with the seconds.
In contradi5tinction to the sec
ond of time, the second Of arc has
nothing to do with duration; it is
a unit of spSce measure, and con-
stitutes the smallest diT5:sion of q
circle.
The other unit inquired about
ne calorie-has nothing to do
with either space or time, but
serves as a fundamental measure
of heat. It is arbitrari'- chosen,
like the units already mentioned,
and it is defined as the quantity of
heat needed to raise the tempera-
ture of one gram of water one de-
gree on the centigrade scale of
temperature. But the temperature
measurement cannot be substi-
tuted for the measurement by
calories because it does not give
a general determination of the
quantity of heat. Two grams of
water raised one gree in tenn
perature would consume a greater
quantity of heat tLal one gram,
and so, too, one gram of some
other substance than water raised
one degree in temperature would
not consume the ssme quantity of
heat as one gram Of water.

Man is the enemy of Nature. He
Disturbs her quiet and her beauty mars.
So great his greed man would if that might be,
Make petty traffic of the mighty stars
Sell options on their luster, and incite
Discord and strife along the Solar Way,
So to shut off the glory of their light
Till terrorized dark earth his price should pay.
Nature must yield to man her rarest gifts.
He can deface her mountains, shame her seas
With battIeships-defle each verdant plain
With factories and slums, but when he lifts
His eyes, Oh let him fall upon his knees
All inaccessible Gods stars remain.

Count Time by Seconds in These
Fast Moving Days
By Garre tt

Here are two questions the an
swers to which, 1 am Sare, would
prove OF the greatest interest to
thousands of readers:
"Q) What constitutes second
Of time, and hot1 Is it determtnedf
"(2) What IS cdloTte; hoD
does this represent unit Of heat,
and hotO is Il determined.-. L."
T WONDER that you do not
ask what Second of arc"
instead of a second Of
time" is, for it is that which seems
to puzzle the greatest number OF
incuirers. 1t is unfortunate that
these two totally different units
of measurements should both be
called Seconds" and by defining
them together we may help many
to remember the distinction, be-
sides explaining some things not
commonly known about them.
Everybody Should Learn to
Count Seconds Unaided-
A second of time, or simply "a
second" is the smallest whole
unit, or measure, of duration. 1t
is the scientific unit of time, al
though it is not q natural division
but wholly an arbitrary one, i. e.,
one made only for human con-
venience, and not determined by
the duration of any natural pheno-
menon. Still, it is a factor, or
divisor of such a duration, VIZ,
the period of the earth's rotation
on its axis. Numerically a second
is the 1i86400th part of the aver
age length of day" that length
being measured from one noon to
the next.
An average length for the day
had to be chosen because, owing
to periodical variations in the
earth's motion around the sun, the
interval from noon to noon is not
precisely the same at all seasons
of the year.
The average length of the day,
from noon to noon, is the basis OF
what is called "mean time" which
is the kind of time kept by clocks
and watches-when they keep any
time at all. The earth's rotation
on its axis is not subject to varia-
tions like those affecting its revo-
luton around the sun, and when
the length of the rotation is deter
mined by observations on the fixed
stars instead Of on the sun 1t is
not necessary to use an average,
since the period of rotation, meas
ured in that way, is equal at all
times of the yer. This period is
called a sidereal day, and the
second is the 1S640O.1th part Of
1t.
