Your Watch and the Sun.

In addition to telling you the time off day your watch may be used for keep-* ing track of the sun. When the orbof day‘finishes its day’s journey and disappears in the West note the time by your watch. Then draw a horizon-i tal line (imaginary, of course) from) the point of the hour hand to the opposite side of the dial. The time indi- 1 cated by the line on this side will b&| the time at which the sun rises in the morning. Thus if the sun sets at ft at night the line shows that it will risen at 4 in the morning; if It sets at 7 itj will rise at 5; if at sit will rise at 7*' and so on.'
