O ahy, soft-spoken HERBERT FRANK FINCH, ten routine years of keeping Greenwich Mean Time in order have offered little scope for fame.

Yet in the quiet of his hill-top observatory at Abinger, Surrey, he has stumbled on an astronomical discovery that will affect overy scientist who prides him- self on precision.

By ultra-careful clock-watching Finch has found that the earth, instead of rotating at a regular rate as scien- tists smugly assumed, spins faster every autumn and slowa downs every spring.

The time it takes to turn round once--the midnight- to-midnight period we call n "24-hour day"—is two- thousandths of a second longer in May than in Novem- ber.

This means that the hour, fails to safeguard Itself while in still time, a scientist the minute, and the second there which nro
