are set regularly by electricity are as trustworthy guides as our cities now offer. These clocks have as their standard the Naval Observatory time pieces at Washington, the correct time being wired to each city at noon every day. The Naval Observa- tory clock is one of the master clocks of the country. There is another at the bureau of standards. Such clocks vary as little as one one-hundredth of second in 24 hours. To appreci- ate this high degree of accuracy. compare it with the average small watch varying perhaps half a minute day, or in other words 5000 times as much as the master clock.
 The Western Union clocks offer a sufficiently reliable time standard. but they do not begin to reach an entire population. Other clocks are used by many people who long have had the habit of consulting a clock at some particular point passed daily. The time ball is another suffi- eiently accurate signal. which like the Western Union clocks reaches a large number of people in a city, but not the entire city.
 The time ball is a mariners device and is used principally in ports The need for ship to get the correct time was first met by the time ball at the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, about 70 years ago. A ball was raised to the top of a high pole near the wharf. and at noon it was re- leased so that 1t slid down the pole | The captain of a ship near the port could watch for the signal through his spy glass and determine by il i the errors of the ships chronometers
 This became a popular signal in ports. and is used occasionally else where. on the state, war and navy I building in this city. for instance "ball time is the standard for many of the government clerks. The bal
