There is a divine standard by which every man in the world can
accurately regulate his life as these clocks are regulated.
The ease with which any number of electric clocks may be
operated in synchronism is an advantage of no small moment. In
factories, mills, and large manufacturing plants, where it is
essential to have the exact time in all the rooms, the electric
clock will prove of peculiar value. By removing the pendulums
from all but one clock, with the others connected in circuit,
the exact time can be kept with all the clocks in the plant.
Furthermore, the regulation of timepieces by electric power from
some central station is thus greatly simplified. With a wire
running to the main clock of the plant, an exact regulation of
all in the series could be instantly obtained. (Text.)--_The
