Ths Equation of Time (or ciuaniity by which the Sun ii slow or fast of the clock) at noon, apparent time (no< mean) at Greenwich, or at a quarter before eight ih th< morning at Halifax. The interval of time between th< Sun being on the meridian or souihing. on one day, anc his being on the meridian or southing there next day, not always the same ; and, therefore, solar days are not equal in duration ; about ope-half are a little more, ant ^'^ ™° about one-half are a little less than 24 hours. A clocb r^ulated by the Sun, or the Sun-dial, would need frequent adjustment ; to avoid this, an imaginary Sun is supposed to move, 80 that the interval of time between its coiiSecu tive passages over the meridian is always the same, viz. 24 hourH ; such a time represents a mean solar day, am it is the average of all the apparent solar dayw in a year The difference of time between the imaginary Sun am the true Sun passing the meridian, is called the ** Equation of Time," the amount of which at noon on every day, 'is inserted in this column. There are only four days in of that t the year when apparent and mean time are the name, oi four col the Equation of Time is nothing. In this year these dayc Water < are April 16, June 16, Septr. 1, and Oecr. 24.

By the aiaistance of tbt mnabars In thi column, a clock can be set by a SttinUal aa foHows When fait is placed above the Bunber opposite to tht day, then the clock ought to be set fast on th« time thowi by the Sun-dial, and when ilow is above the numbers, tht ■clock ought to t« set so much slower. Example: — wbei the aun shows noon on the Sun*dial on June 1 , and Jul) 1, what are the true times? On June 1, from tht Almanack, the Elquation of time is, subtract 2m. 28»., | therefore the clock should be 2ro. 28a. before noon : »o the true time is 1 Ih, 67m. 82s. A. M. On July 1 , tht Equation of time is, add, 8m. 80s., therefore the clock should be 8m. 30s. afternoon, or the time is Oh. 8m. 80s. P. M. The greatest difference between mean limt (common clock time) and apparent time (time by the 8un-dial) occurs on the 8rd Nov., and it is I6m. IG!* subtractive.

He has now time for studying and laying plans for ulure operations— time for reading and for investigatingr the principles on which his art Is based,— a knowledge of which enables him to direct his labors understandingly.

While prosecuting inquiries, however, he should avoid a credulous assent to untried schemes and theories. Though he should examine freely, he should apply cautiously — he should endeavour to '> prove all things, and holdfast that which is gnod'^ — counsel, which though originally given in reference to spiritual concerns, should be held as a motto in all temporal affairs. Have good feediiig racks, and save a quarter of the hay otherwise trodden underfopt ; one Ion lost in every four, is five in every twenty, which would soon p^y for many good racks.
