A study of the fire problem along the Canadian Pacific Railway in| Ontario was made during the sam- mer of 1914 by the company's' fire inspector. It was found that there were 282 fires in the timber district | of Ontario, on or within five miles jot the company's lines. Of these, | 106 fires ocenrred on or immediately adjoining the right of way, while | the balamee bad their origin on set- tlers' lands, on timber .haldings whieh "had been logged off, or algng rivers from driving operations. It was found that many fires oc- | cur in close proximity to rallway lines, for the origin of which the | company is in no way responsible. Also, the severity of fires is greatly | Inereased by the large amounts of | inflamraable debris frequently found [on adjeining lands; especially cut- over timber limits, where as a rule i ae attention is paid to the disposal of logging slash. No possible amount of right of way clearing can remedy this condition, In Maive, a law is under copsideration, which would re- | quire either the leaving of a green | Ateip. of timber. along railways; in connection with future cuttings, or else the disposal of inflammable | debris om a strip adjacent to the | right of way. Settlers' clearing operations are one of the greatest sources of fire | danger, om account of prevailing carelessness in the use of fire. It is argued that a permit system is need- ed in Ontario for controlling the set- ting of fire during the summer sea- son, as is now being done success { fully in beth Quebec and. British wt Columbia. On account of "its accessibility young forest growth along teilway lines has a greater prospective value than that remote from transporta- tie; thus justifying adequate pro- tection from fire by the Crown. One material source of fire danger slong railway lihes is the of the tracks as a highway, by trians all kinds, including tramps, un- employed laborers, settlers, ete. It has so far been found impossible to stop this, and many fires have been started by such agencies which | would erdinarily be attributed to the railway. In many forest sections, as for in- stance in northern Ontario, fhe dan- ger of fire is very great, and locsl organizations are needed in order to cape with this bazard. Such organ- izations have been found very effec- tive in some of the states of the Union. Only some of the broader aspects of the fire situation have been touch- od as yet. Much still remains to be done before really adequate protee- tion against forest fires will have been secured; however, the results obtained warrant the belief that the firc hazard can be considerably ve- duced, if intelligently handled. This, of course, must be assisted by a cam- paign of education. Sone Time. Visitors to Western Canada are Invariably mystified by "the 'zone time'. which prevails on the trans- continental routs. "Zone time" is the system of standard time in use hout North ' America, under which the time of each tomplete hour of langi- tude west of Greenwich is adopted for a given area of country. This area would be very properly deserib- | ed as. the or adopting the time %H the hourly meridian estion. Thus the time which by ment ~chiefly the dictum of the Canadian Pacific Railway---is adepted for the longitude 111 degrees 18 min., in which the correspondent resides, is probably 7 hours slow of Greenwich, "| 80 that the local mean time is always 26 minutes slow of the "zone" or "standard" time. is impossible to give the. difference between ap- parent time and standard time un- less we also specify the day of the year. The standard time, or "zone" time of the correspondent, hronizes at every 15 degrees of longitude wést of Greenwich with the local mean time aud not with apparent time, except on four days each year. The Janda Wine ay is haped on idea of maki change time at each 7 1-2 degrees east and west of the 15 degree or hourly meridians. Practically, however, this limit as a matter of convenience not strictly adhered to. The longitude of e City Hal degrees am 9 minutes w wl corresponds to 6 hours 28 ih and 36 sec- onds.
