Relatively Recent Invention, “Hours as recorded by modern time- pleces are a relatively recent invention. Martin Luther would find our clocks decidedly queer; Napoleon’s instinct for order would be gratified to know that the hour at last been standardized at 60 seconds. “In Plrlfl until 1819 the hour was a variable unit of time, lengthening in Summertime, shortening _during the Winter days. It was the Paris equiva- lent of our daylight saving system; 6 o'clock came when dawn arrived. “In Nurnberg and paris of Central Europe another system was used down to 1809. At the time of the equinoxes day and night were divided into 12 hours equally, day time beginning at dawn, not midnight; night beginning at sundown, not noon. But as Winter came on and the days grew shorter the hours allotted to day were-cut off so that, in December, night hours were numered 1 to 16; day 1 to 8. The re- verse was true in Summar. A season of the year was often referred to as the time when the day has 13 hours.
