Abstract
IN a recent article we referred to the question of the amalgamation, so to speak, of the astronomical and civil day, in connection with the introduction of world time or prime meridian time, suggested by the Washington Conference. We pointed out that there were various opinions touching the time at which the change should be made, but that the concensus in its favour is so strong that it is certain to be made some time or another.
