By Berlin H. Wright, De Land, Fla. TIDE TABLES. (From U. S. Coast Survey.) To find the time of high water for any place given in the table below apply the rection opposite the place to the times of high water for its respective port given every day on the twelve calendar pages of this Almanac. Add the correction to Hime of high water when it is plus, and subtract it when it is minus. Example: TO ind time of high water at Rockland, Me., on January 8, 1910– Time of high water at Boston, January 8. 9 25 p. m. Correction for Rockland, Me. (see below). -0 26 p. m. Time of high water at Rockland, Me., January 8..... 8 59 p. m. Add 6 h. to this for the succeeding low water or subtract same for preceding low rater, and apply 12 h. in the same way for the other high water of the same dato.

It is obvious that to express the time of rising and setting of the Sun and Me in standard time would limit the usefulness of such data to the single point or pl for which they were computed, while in mean time they are practically correct places as widely separated as the width of the continent, as already explained, and p sons having the mean time may easily ascertain the correct standard time of event by making use of the table on this page. EXPLANATION OF THE CALENDAR PAGES. Time. All the calculations in The Tribune Almanac are based upon mean or clock unless otherwise stated. The Sun's rising and setting are for the upper limb, corre for parallax and refraction, In the case of the Moon no correction is needed, as the Sun, for "parallax and refraction"'; with her they are of an opposite nature just balance each other. The figures given, therefore, are for the Moon's centre a true horizon, such as the ocean or a large plain affords. ++++1++1+1 1+1| +1++||++1++++||+||+++1++! - 20 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sitka Rew Orleans STANDARD TIME Galveston GULT OF MEXICO 75 Map of the Standard Time Belts. The heavy dotted lines show the arbitrary divisions of time in the United States. che plus and minus marks on either side of the meridian lines show whether it is necessary to add to or subtract from the standard time of points east or west of these lines to arrive at actual, or mean local, time. See table on page 4. Standard Time. For the convenience of the railroads and business in general a standard of time was established by mutual agreement in 1883, and it is by this method of calculation that trains are now run and local time is regulated. In accordance with this system the United States extending from 65° to 125° west longitude is divided into four time sections, as shown on the map. Inside of each of these sections standard time is uniform, and the time of each section differs from that next to it by exactly one hour. If the standard time correction for any place not enumerated in the table be esired proceed as follows: Locate the place, as anyone can approximately on this map, and then subdivide the hour space in which the place is until the distance in time (60m. = one space) from that meridian within whose bounds the place is located Is apparent. Then add or subtract the result to mean time as the sign at the top of the map indicates. Example: What will be the standard time of sunrise July 1 at Penn Yan, N. Y.? The map does not give the lines of latitude and longitude, but most people can locate their own place in its respective State on the map with sufficient correctness. By this means I locate Penn Yan at about one-eighth of the distance between the 75th and 90th meridians and within the Eastern time zone. This will give 8m. to be added, or 4:34. CHRONOLOGICAL CYCLES. Dominical Letter... B Roman Indiction.. Epact (Moon's age, Jan. 1).... 19 Julian Period. Lunar Cycle (Golden Number). 11 Dionysian Period. Solar Cycle... 15 Jewish Lunar Cycle. EXPLANATORY NOTE.-The DOMINICAL Letter or letters (two for Leap Year or Sunday Letters, indicates the day of the year on which the first Sunday occurs, first seven letters of the alphabet being used. Thus for 1910 the Dominical Letter is the second letter of the alphabet, and hence the second day of the year will be the fi Sunday of the year. ln Leap Years two letters are used, the first being for Janua and February and the latter, being the preceding letter, answers for the last months in order to maintain the cycle. The GOLDEN NUMBER is that number a cycle of 19 years, which shows how many years have passed since New Moon on January 1, for in nearly 19 years the Solar and Lunar years nearly come togeth The chief use of this cycle is in fixing the date of Easter, and in this samo connecti is used the EPACT. The SOLAR CYCLE is the number of years that have elaps since the days of the week fell on the same days of the year, or when there will therefore, a recurrence of the Dominical or Sunday Letter. This would be the ca every seven years but for Leap Year; hence, four times seven in the cycle, or 28 yealIt is the remainder found by adding 9 to the year and dividing the sum by 28. TA ROMAN INDICTION is a cycle of 15 years and is of no utility except to chronologei It is the remainder found by adding 3 to the year and dividing by 15. THE JULIA PERIOD is a cycle of 7980 years, and is the product of the three cycles-Golden Nun ber (19) Solar Cycle (28) and Roman Indiction (15) and hence shows the time whi these three cycles will coincide, or begin at the same time. The first of this cyc will be completed in the year 2267. It is the year +4713. The DIONYSIAN Period a cycle of 532 years, and is also called the Great Paschal Cycle, being the product of complete Soiar and Lunar Cycle (28x19). It is the remainder found by adding 467 the year and dividing by 532, and with the Julian Period is chiefly used by chr nologers. The JEWISH LUNAR CYCLE is always three less than the Golden Numbes and is used by the Jews in fixing the time of their festivals. •The rule for computing the Dominical Letter for any year is somewhat compi cated and for that reason is omitted here.
