Most Accurate Tlmepieee

The most accurate timekeeper In
the world is said to be the electric
clock in the basement of the Berlin
observatory. 1t is inclosed in an air
tight glass cylinder, ard has frequent
Iy run for periods of two or three
months with an average daily devia-
ton of only fifteen one thousandths
of a second. Yet astronomers are not
satisfied even with this, and efforts
are continually being made to secure
ideal conditions for clock by keeping
it not only in an air tight case. but in
an underground vault where changes
neither OF temperature nor Of baro-
metric pressure shall ever effect It. ~
