EVENING EDITION. flJCUTlWtf i'Umw LESS yKwSZfXw!TriagTirj i-AJZ wuguinjiwiauiyni.il ir n n m ji How Standard Time Started THE.V Two hundred and thirty-nine years ago today the foundations were laid for the Greenwich Ob servatory, which gives the world Its standard tlmo. A year Inter It was completed and approved by King Charles II. Its erection marked a now epoch In the world's nnvlRatlon. Heforo lis establish ment a navigator's voyage was a haphazard and oxceedlnsly dun KoroiiB undertaking. The astro nomical tables by which the navi gator figured his position In mid oeonn were so erratic at that time that a ship headed for the Virginia Colony In the New World was Just as liable to land on the const of New England. There was no uni versally accepted first meridian of longitude by which the nnvlgntor could sail his course accurately until the enrly explorers adopted their own. The Latin navigator used the Peak of Tenerlffe In the Canary Islands until Itlchellon called a scientific congress in Paris In 1030, which decided upon the Island of Ferro ns tho first merid ian. This Islnnd remained tiro guiding mnrk for the Latin races for many generations. The English-speaking races established Greenwich time nnd meridian. One of tho first acts of tho first royal astronomer was to compile nil the known statistics relating to as tronomy nnd to work out a rell nhle table for mariners. Then It began to sot the clocks of England Him mo i niied Htntcs. xow. Today all tho clocks of the im portant countries of the world are ticking in accordance to their dis tance from the Greenwich observa tory. All the world's navigators are sailing or steaming over the sovi'ii seas or courses laid by Green wich Observatory. Tho people of the United States are rising from their beds, opening the (Jay's busi ness nnd eating their meals ac cording to regulations laid down by tho Hrltlsh astronomers of King Charles' reign. The world Is mnrked off Into zones, each one of which occupies fifteen degrees of longi tude and Is numbered according to Its position in relation to Green wich. In the United States four of those zones exist, the country hav ing a breadth of flfty-flvo degrees. All the clocks In a zono register the same hour nccordlng to a regu lation adopted In 1S83. This regu lation was promulgated to over come tho soventy-one different Bets of time prevailing In tho country theretofore. Today another mighty evolution In navigation nnd tho uni versal time system Is' In process. It is proposed to use the wireless tele graph to verify time. It Is sug gested that the United States Naval Observatory flash Its signals of the hour to ships nt sen bo that tho nnvlgntor can accurately dctormlno his distance from land by setting his chronometer. Another scien tist suggests Hint tho government rndln station at Arlington flash Its signals to Eiffel Tower in Paris bo thnt both Europe and America can set their clocks accurately.

Oakland Now Has More Than Any Other City in the Country. (Special to The Times,) OAKLAND. Cul.. Aug in A po sdilon that is unique in the pu'dU school systems of the West lias t,n created in Oakland by the app nt mout of Ilorinanii Treutner. formerly leader of the Thirteenth Inf.mtrv Military Hand in thu Philippine is lands, as director of bauds and or ihestras. Thero nro now (a iir Oakland schools thirty bund ..i,j twelve orchestras, with a total i i rollmeut of moro than 1100 pupils or preserved for only a few hours should maintain a temperature of less than "0 degrees. Even nt these temperatures, some bacteria will mul- tlply nnd cause the souring of the , milk, but tho Increase Is slow and i during n few hours no serious re sults will occur. A tomperuturo well below r,0 degrees Fahrenheit, how ever, materially decreases tho rate or wirterlnl growth. On tho other hnnd, whore milk Is to be shipped long distances, tho Initial tomperaturo must be lower, Hssuinlug that no provision is raado ; for maintaining tho original tamper ; nturo during transportation. Whoro milk Is In transit for sovcrnl hours, It Is necessary to cool it down to near tho freezing point. So soon ns tho ! milk can, however. Is exposed to air I temperature, and especlnlly to tho ' sun, the temperature of tho milk I begins to rlso very rnnldlv nnd ovorv precnutlon should bo taken to keep I ii irom noiug raised iy tno outside i ll,,nt- A series ot experiments was re cently mndo In shipping milk cooled to "id degrees. Jn theso enses tho cans wore sot In an open truck, with no covering to shield them from tho i direct rays of tho sun. Tho milk ' was hauled n dlstnnco of 13 miles and the average air temperature dur-' . Ing tho trip wns 82.05 degrees.
