CHRONOMETERS.
Why the Government are perpetually hoisting signals for the rating of chrono meters is a thing "no fellan-can under stand.'* When ships* captains begin to recognise that they can trust their Water burvs, no doubt a great deal of successful navigation will be carried on by their aid. -The Waterbury is rated to record correct time. Any other variety, whether side real, mean, or Greenwich, can be arranged for if desired. One of these watches, set to time at midnight on the 31st of Decem ber, and wound reeularly, will, when the new year is as dead as the old one, still record the flight of time with the same" unerring accuracy as at the start. Thir teen and sixpence is well spent in one of these watches.
