Tue occasion Of this feat was the telegraphic determination of the difference or longitude In time between the United States Coast- Survey station in San Franc.sco and the observa- ory Of the Harvard University at Cambridge tn the Year 1860. In order Uo deterinine the Ume of trans- Inisston of a signal elther from the clock (or from the operator's xey) over the given length of the line Of 3,600 milles, Uhtee different methods were devised. One of these was original with Professor George Davidson, who had charge of the observa- tous. Through "the liberality of the manage- ment of the Western Union Telegraph Co., a double circult Of ibe Was looped at Cambridge, so ‘that Chere extended from the San Francisco ob- Servatory 3,000 miles to Cambridge, and the re- turn from’ Cambi by a somewhat different Toute of nearly equal length, ‘Tue two “earths” ‘were under the San Fi observatory, distant from each other hot more than ten feet. ‘The line north half lot 11, 5q. 454, fronting’20 1. on 7u St, east side, bet.
