cavite Flashes Time Over Pacific.

Since October ! the radio station at
Cavtte, cooperating with the Philip
pine bureau Of posts and the Manila
observatory, has been sending the time
signals of the 120th meridian east OF
Greenwich ut II n. m. and .-l0 p. m'
every day, says Science.
For the purpose of sending time sig
nails, the transmitting clock Of the Ma
nila observatory Is connected with eae
Cavite wireless station through the ou-
reau of posts. Manila observatory time
signals begin at 1885 a. m. and 9:55
o. M, standard time Of the 12Oth me-
ridian east of. Greenwich, and continue
for FIVE minutes. During this interval
every tick of the clock is transmitted,
except the 2Sth. Goth. 54th 55th. 56th,
57th. 5Sth and 59th Of each minute.
The situation Of Manila in the Pa
cific makes this service of the greatest
Importance to the merqantile and naval
fleets that ply Tpon that ocean.

REFUGEES IN RICH ATTIRE

Figures He Saw During the

Amid all the chaos of the Italian re-
treat one kept on meeting utterly IN
congruous figures, for alongside OF
others road-wofn, shabby and dirty to
be. clean and we'll dressed is to be
grotesque.
Amid this multitude of haggard, un-
washed, unshaven. dead beat males.
I noticed two italian ladies treadlns
delicately over the rough ballast OF
the railway track. They had naturally
brought With them in that fight the
most valuable of their possessions
whichtwere of kind conveniently car
ried on their persons. Against this
gray background Of mud and rubbish
and disbanded army their two hS-
ures glittered with brilliance that
would have been conspicuous in the
Rue de la Paix.
Heavy sable furs and muffs almost
bowed their shoulders; each finger hao
two or three rings that flashed in the
light: round their necks were gold
chains hung with pendants and yet
instead Of the air of self-safisfied os-
tentation that might well have gone
with display so lavish, they were only
two pathetically little, frightened, per-
picked faces, and an uncertain gait
that did not promise much further
progress along that ankle-wrenching
railway line.-G. Ward Price In the

from cane juice, without taking out any
