WHEN is NOON?
By Garrett P. Serviss

time when the clock hands show
noon of course, the afternoon is
heightened in comparison with the
forenoon.
1t must be so, for, as you can
see on the diagram, if the sun is
(as happens about February LII
more tn n IA minutes later than
the clock.hand In reaching the
noon position, then those IA min
utes are taken from the forenoon
and added to the afternoon, so
that the total length of the after
noon will be twice ii minutes, or
almost half an hour, longer
than the forenoon.
This increase of the afternoon
in comparison with the forenoon
is a gradual process, which be-
gins in Decembo' and becomes
noticeable about Christmas. 1t
arises from the fact that in pre-
pairing the almanac the hours Of
sunrise and sunset are calculated
from the movement of the real
sun, but the time used is mean
time, Or. clock time, which has
the effect of displacing the clock
noon to one side of the real noon,
which is shown by a sun-dial.
The varying difference between
o'clock time" and sun time" is
called the equation of time" and
it is represented by the curve
extending in our picture from
January l at the top to December
81 at the bottom, the vertical line
in the center representing the
position of the unchanging clock
noon.
If you look at the course Of
the curve in December, at the
bottom of the picture, you will
see that during the entire month
the forenOons were longer than
the afternoons, but were losing
every day, and this loss became
more noticeable on approaching
the winter solstice, the time when
the total length of the day be.
gins to increase in our hemisphere.
Just before Christmas the sun
and clock were together. and af-
terward the sun became SLOW"
and then the afternoons were alb
solutely, as measured by clock
time, longer than the forenoons,
and they will continue to be so
until the middle of April, al
though, after February II, the
foBenoons will increase relative
ly, reaching a balance on April
IS, But noon entirely lost caste,
anyway, when daylight saving"
was invented.
