On the request of Mr. Segerstrom,
John A. Wilson has taken a series
of observations for time. The
chronometer at Segerstrom and
Hagen’s was found to be 8 minutes,
13 seconds slow on 165th Meridian
time, which has been corrected, and
the big clock as well as the chrono
meter now indicate true 165th Meri
dian Standard time, which is just
three hours slower than Pacific
Standard time. The result of the
time determinations agrees very
closely with the City Telegraph time
which is received by wireless.

transit instrument is a rather diffi
cult matter in winter. The sun is
at too low an altitude for making
reliable observations owing to the
uncertainty of the refraction at low
altitudes, and besides, the sea hor
izon can not be used, being obstruct
ed with ice. Recourse must be had
to measuring altitudes of certain
stars with a sextant and an artificial
horizon, which is merely a quick
silver basin into which the star is
reflected. An ordinary time formula
is used to calculate the hour angle
of the star, from which the local !
sidereal time is derived, which is ,
again turned into local mean time by i
a simple process. S
The most accurate method of de- (
termining time is to observe the me- S
ridian passage of certain stars j
through a transit Instrument accu
rately adjusted in the meridian.
This is the method used in observa
tories, and time Is determined as
closely as 1 j 100 second. Stars are
invariably observed, since a namler
of suitable stars will pass the meri
dian in the course of a night, while
the sun can only be observed oil the
meridian once in 24 hours. The ba
sis of all time is sidereal or star
time, and the standard is the time
in which the earth makes one abso
lute rotation on its axis, which is -
invariable. 4
In the United States correct time |
is maintained by time signals based ]
on observations taken at the U. S.
Naval Observatory in Washington,
D. C. A daily noon signal is sent by
telegraph to the Western Union te
legraph Co., which in turn uses the
observatory signal to regaluto its '
standard clock, from which time
signals are sent by wire every hour
to all parts of the country. For a
small sunt the company will install
a clock which is corrected automati
cally every hour by the telegraph a
signal. In some sea port towns a .
time ball in a conspicuous place is ,
dropped exactly at noon, thus en
abling the public to regulate watches
and clocks.
Time observations are also main
tained by private parties, the most
notable ones being that of the Elgin
Watch Co. at Elgin, 111., and of the
Carleton Ccilege at Northfield,
