In Effect Next Monday.

Next Monday, Nov., 18th, the new standard time will go into efiact on nearly all the railroads of this country. ouisville Courier Journal explains, in a brief but lucid manner, the practical workings of the new system: To illustrate the working of the new standard, let it be supposed that a train starts from Boston for San Francisco via the Boston & Albany, New York Central, Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, Rock Island and Union Pacific. It leaves Boston at 3 p, m., Philadelphia or eastern standard time, crosses the eastern division to Buffalo, N. Y., which it reaches at 7 A. m., Eastern standard, or 6a. m. central standard or New Orleans time. Here it passes onto the tracks of the Lake Shore, run according to the central standard, and is guided by time-pieces just an hour slower than those of the eastern standard. It strikes the Rock Island at Chicago, and mns to North Platte, Neb,, where it passes from the central to the mountain standard, or from New Orleans to Denver time, and strikes a new set pf clocks still another hour slower. At Ogden, Utah, the process is repeated for the |last time, and the train rushes on to San Francisco by the Pacific standard. The traveler who starts op this trip with his watch set at Boston time may be puzzled at Buffalo to tyid that his car, which reaches there at 7 A. m. and stops half an hour for breakfast, leaves at 6:30 thirty minutes before it got there; but if he will turn the hands of his watch back just one hour at Buffalo, North Platte and Ogden, he will find when he reaches San Francisco there is no puzzle about it; that he is there on time, and that his time-piece will correspond with the clocks of the Golden City- •.
