When the shadow cast by the Sun reaches the noon-mark, set the clock at the time given in calendar pages of this Almanac, in the column of "Sun at Noon-mark," and it will be exactly right. If a meridian line is used instead of a noon-mark, the passing the lines by the Sun's center is the moment for setting the clock. Any skillful surveyor can make a noon-mark or meridian lines of small brass or copper wires. In doing so, he must allow for the variation of the magnetic needle from a true or astronomical north and south line. Evening Stars. Venus until February 23. Mars until March 12, and all of 1871. |
