Thus the exact position of the twenty-four secondary or Hour Meri- 
dians is practically determined, and provision is thereby made for 
extending around the globe the Hour-system of regulating time 
which has been adopted with so much advantage in America. 
These Hour Meridians, so designated, completely establish the rela- 
tion between Cosmic time and longitude. Once every day the rela- 
tionship will be prominently brought under the notice of every indi- 
vidual. Everyone, for example, living on the 6th Hour Meridian, 
will know at noon that it is at that instant six o’clock Cosmic time 3 
or, take the citizens of Toronto, the local time of which is governed 
by the 17th Hour Meridian; at the hour of noon they will know 
that it is. 17 o'clock Cosmic Time. Invariable time will thus agree 
with longitude, conversely longitude with time. By this arrange- 
ment the earth itself becomes the great Standard Chronometer for all
