this you must first establish your

by observations on the sun or on

your meridian from the standard

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS HOW
TO FIND l.. IT.
In Reality It's Comparing the Time of Noon at
One Point With Noon at Some Standard
Point East or West of 1t.

G. (Greenwich), the longitudes are
all west; to the right, all east.
Noon and midnight are 100 de-
grees apart. Any point on the
meridian OF 40 degrees west is
three hours slow of Greenwich
time. Any point 80 degrees west
is six hours slow. Any point IS
degrees west Is five hours slow.
This is the meridian of Eastern
standard time.
Now, BOston's meridian is about
II degrees west. Therefore. since
one degree corresponds to four
minutes Of time, Boston time is
four hours, forty.four minutes
slow of Greenwich time. On the
other hand, since it Is 4 degrees
east of the seventy fifth meridian.
Bostons time is sixteen minutes
fast of Eastern standard time.
But in practice, since the adop-
. ton of the standard time meridian
system-there are four such ner-
jdians in North America, namely,
Colonial go degrees) Eastern Us
degrees), Mountain. Q05 ,1egreesl
and Pacific 020 degrees)-"m mean"
time has been substituted for 'ap-
parent time. Mean time is not
true" time, but it is an average
which allows for the varying
length <of the days due to the &C.
centricity of the earth's orbit and
the obliquity of the ecliptic.

Now. standard time is expressed
