Greenwich Obearratory is the official time-kooper for the navies and mercantile musins of the world; and recently the Astronomer Royal, Dr. F. W. Dysco, rendered the annual account of bis stewardship to the official board of visitors. A very large part of what he said was parely technical, but at least two items were cf great interest. The first was the way in which Big Bon 'behared last year, and the second the working of the time sigale sont on to ships ad sex from the Eiffel Tower and the wireless station at Nordaich. With regard to Big Ben, it must be remembered that--unlike some other cloake it is not regulated daily, but Loops its own time with wonderful accuracy, sending a signal onch, day to the 05- Borretory so that the astronomers may know how it is gstring on. Ou eight days between May 11, 1912, and May 12,· 1×13, · the signals failed, but the average, error throughout the year was less than a second 4.88, second,, to be accurate). Oo 53 days it was less than a tenth of a second,, and one day it was three seconds.

Taring to the wirelos siguala, it was not until July 4, 1912," that an apparatos was set up at Grenwich for recalving and recording the finahes from the kiffel Tower.
