THE SIGNAL FOR HIGH NOON. t* is Flashed Out Over Nearly a Mil- lion Miles of Telegraph Wires Every i Day In the Year--The Finely Ad- justed Instruments That Are Used. A few minutes before 12 o'clock noon every day in the year a young man walks into a certain room of the main building at the naval observatory, which is set up on a hill in the north- western part of the District of Colum- bia. He glances at the various clocks in the room and then goes over to a table which is covered with electric apparatus, +He watches the clocks to his left closely and waits for the hands to reach 11:56. As the second band ap- proaches the 60 on the dial he pre- pares to shift a switch. The clock Is so finely adjusted that when the sec- ond band points to 60 it exactly marks the beginning of a new minute, As it touches the 00 the switches are thrown on. That starts a signal that goes out instantaneously over 900,000 miles of telegraph lines. In Washington, New York, Buffalo, Cleve land, Newport, Baltimore, Newport News, Norfolk, Savannah, New Or- leans, Key West, Galveston, Chicago and elsewhere the time balls go up on their poles. People know that it is five minutes to noon, Washington time. The clock which keeps the time ip the observatory ticks on. With each tick there is a contact of electric points. A circuit is closed, and an in- strument on the table similar in ap- pearance to a telegraph sounder ticks away loudly. It goes on to the twenty-ninth sec- ond, then skips one tick, then resumes its steady sounding until the last five seconds; then there is another gap. These gaps are for the purpose of giving listeners at the other ends of the great system of wires a chance to know what part of the minute the clock is on. So it goes up to the last minute. At the twenty-ninth second there is again the skipping of one second. Finally the clock gets around to the fiftieth second. Then the circuit re- mains open for ten seconds. There is silence all along the telegraph wires. At the other end, where there are time balls or merely train operators, the long pause indicates that noon is almost there. The second hand makes on toward 60 and finally reaches the mark. Then there is another click; in about a second the sounder is down, and thst tells hundreds of thousands of people that it is noon in Washing- ton. It is'a wonderful operation, this get- ting the time, an@ highly technical. Finely adjusted clocks, chronographs and other instrmments of great value are used, and the taking and recording of the time have reached a poiht where the human equation is practically elim- inated. The results obtained are of great value, particularly to mariners. The time' is not only flashed to hundreds of points in the United States, but it is sent far out w sea by wireless. A calle carries the flash to Havana; ap- ot'ner to Panama and Callao, Peru. The observatory here does not send the time much farther west than the Rockies, but they have an observatory at the Mare Island navy yard, and from there the time is sem up and down the Pacific coast, just as it is from here to the eastern part of the United States. In the cities where the central time is used the flash marks 11 o'clock. An hour later local opera- tors drop the time balls. The mean time is determfsed by as- tronomical observations. When cer- tain stars pass the seventy-fifth merid- fan. called the meridian of Washing- ton, it is a certain time. The operator wasches for the stars through a tele- scope, the field of which is covered with fine wires. As the stars reach a certain point in transit the operator presses a key ip his band. A contact i» made and re- corded on a chronograph. The chrono- graph consists of a cylinder covered with paper. A fountain pen rests on the paper. Tt is held by an arm at- tached to the mechanism. The cylin- der revolves once a minute, and the pen moves along the surface of the paper, making a spiral line. A sidereal«clock of the finestunake is running in = vault underneath the ob- servatory. With each tick of the clock there fu a contact of two poluts. These two points are attached to wires that lead th 'an electro-magnet at- tached to the: arm that holds the pen of the chwomngraph. The clock is so adjusted that each Minute the pen jumps to onesside. Consequently thére is a break in"the line. There are other breaks, too, when the observer watches the stars cross the limes in the fleld of the telescope. The mean time thus re- corded for each star, after being cor- rected for errors, is the clock time of the star's transit. Whatever difference there is between the clock time and the sidereal time marked by the trans- it of the stars is the error of the clock. From these astronomical ob- servations the sidereal time is ob- tained. 'The error amounts to but "= | little, rarely being more than from five ovne-hundredths ito ten one-hun- dredths of a second. Phe time of wending®a flash over the wires'is practically nothing. A flash has resched Greenwich, England, in three-temths of a second. Washington Oor., Chirago'loter-Ocesn.

A full cut brilliant has at least forty-eight facets, aud so expert are the cutters that they often cut diamonds so small thut it re quires a hundred to weigh a carat Each has forty-eight facets. SARATOGA'S SPRINGS. The Water Was First Used by the In- dians as a "Cure." The Saratoga Springs "cure" ante- dated the settlement of this commu nity by the white man, when the High Rock spring was only a bubbling springlet, drunk at first by the Indians as a fresh water spring. Finding that their health was improved hy the wa ter, they. bethought them that it mnst have medicinal qualities. that time all sick Indians were brouzht to High Rock spring for the healing of their ills. The "outward and visi ble sign" that impressed the red men was the deposit of the salts of the water about the spring in the form of a cone, called tufa, which still exists and from which it received Its nan and through and over which the water bubbles to this day. In 1800 the Congress spring was dis covered and became renowned ihe world over as a saline eathartic. This combined with the sulphurous iron water of the Putnam spring. made Saratoga Springs famous as the lend ing health resort of the United States The remainder of the thirty-tive min eral springs were discovered from time to time, and all have a wide theraven tic application in the treatment of ul most all chronic diseases and are di vided Into four groups according i their component parts. These groups are: First, sodic. muriated, alkaline saline, cathartic: second. sodic. calcir muriated, alkaline saline; third, cha Iybeate; fourth, sulphur. -- Nationa! Magazine.

The [Story of the Test by the Eastern King's Minister. A king once said to a minister, "Do you believe in luck?" "I do," said the minister. "Can you prove it?' asked the king "Yes, I can." So one night he tied up to the ceil ing of a room a bag containing peax mixed with diamonds and let in (wo men, one of whom belleved in luck and the other in human effort alone The one who believed in luck quietly laid himself down on the ground on his blanket; the other after au time found the bag and, feeling in the dark the peas and stones, ate the peas and threw the diamonds to his companion, saying, "There are the stones for your idleness." The man below received them in his | blanke! In the morning the king and the minister came and told each man to keep what he had found. The man who believed in trying got the peas which he had eaten; the other got the diamonds, The minister then said, "Sire, there may, you see, be luck, but it is as rare as peas mixed" with diamonds, sc let none hope to live by luck."--Ap East. ern Fable.
