How Nation Suit the Convenience
of the Traveling Public.
The whole German empire has a uni
form time, adopted April 1, 1893, the
central European time, so called, which
Is exactly one hour faster than the
time of the Greenwich meridian. The
same standard Is In use la Austria,
Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark,
Norway and Sweden that Is, In all the
countries which are traversed some
where near their center from east to
west by the fifteenth meridian east of
Greenwich.
The West European time is the time
of the Greenwich meridian and la used
In England, Holland, Belgium, ,Lum
embourg and Spain. France out of na
tional vanity holds to the time of Paris
both for herself and for her colonies
In Algiers and Tunis, although this
time Is only nine minutes faster than
Greenwich time. It Is a peculiar cir
cumstance that the French, who are
called "behind the times" in many
things, should persist so obstinately in
being a few minutes-ahead of the En
glish on the clock. The East European
time is tne same as the time of St Pe-
tereburg, which is two hours, one mln
ute ana tnirteen seconds faster than
Greenwich time. This standard Is used,
in European Russia, Turkey In Europe,
Koumania and Burgaria
In Cape Colony the railway standard
time Is an hour and a half faster than
Greenwich time, in Japan nine hours
faster.
Australia has four different stand'
ards East Australia, eight hours fast
er than Greenwich; South Australia,
nine Hours; Victoria, Queensland and
Tasmania, ten hours, and New Zealand,
eleven and one-half hours.
The division of the day Into twenty-
four hours (from one midnight to an
other) has been officially established in
Italy, Belgium, Canada and British In
dla. At present, however, only for use
in railway and telegraphic communlca
tion.
in tne United States the railroad
time is divided Into four zones, called
eastern, central, mountain and Pacific,
which, reckoned from east to west, are
exactly five, six, seven and eight hours
lower than Greenwich time. These
standards have also been officially
adopted In Canada.
The necessity of adopting a uniform
tandard of tlme-wlth which the local
time of all places may be compared had
been felt for many years in the United
States and became urgent with the In
crease of facilities for communication.
The differences of local time arise front
the use of solar motion as a time meas
urer.
We call the time noon when the sun
Is opposite the meridian of the place
where we are living, and, as a conse
quence of the sun's apparent motion
from east to west the more easterly of
two places will have the earlier time,
the difference In hours being exactly
one-fifteenth of the longitudinal differ
noe In degrees. In other words, 15 de
grees of longitude correspond to a time
difference of exactly one hour, as there
are 300 degrees In the earth's circum
ference, which divided by twenty-four
hours gives 15 degrees to an hour.

Types and typewriters are prone to
error, as every editor knows. A Kan
sas paper tells of a lawyer who dic
tated to his stenographer the phrase,
"being the direct result of an act of
God." In the typewritten copy he
found, "being the direct result of an
active God."
A writer of fiction who deals with the
life of Kentucky and Tennessee moun
taineers had an even more amusing ex
perlence, which the New York Evening
Post records. She had encountered
great dfficulty in finding a stenograph'
er who combined technical skill with
a reasonable degree of . Intelligence.
One young lady after another was
tried. Finally appeared one of supe
rior demeanor and looks, whose queen
ns:e seir-possession seemed to bode
well.
In the 'course of their first session
the author dictated considerable dia
logue in the characteristic slovenly dia
lect of the mountaineers, and among
other phrases this one:
"Hit's him !"
When the "clean copy" wag placed
before her, she found this colloquial
Ism rendered as:
"It is he." .
And all the rest of the dialogue was
similarly "corrected." The second ses
sion with the queen-like stenographer
was postponed indefinitely.

Roeke that Float la Water.
A geologist who Is well up In his
business can name a dozen or twenty
different specimens of rocks and min
erals that have less specific gravity
than water, and which will, if tossed
Into that element, float on the surface.
Hubellte Is one of the best known rep
resentatives of that class. The common
pumice stone Is another example. The
rock with the very least specific grav
ity known la damari, a substance found
In an extinct Tolcano In Damaraland.
Its atomic weight Is .5, or exactly one
bait that of hydrogen.

One oi the Important Duties oi .Physicians
and the Well-informed of the World
la to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company lias become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to Bupply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known tinder the name' of
Byrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the fijont of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name--Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Ifigs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given sat
isfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the
United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty 1
cents per bottle. "
' Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is, not adulterated
or misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.
