To find the time of high-water at any of the places named in the following table, add time indicated in the first column of figures to the time of “Moon South,” or “Moon on Meridian,” found in the calendar pages. If the result is more than 12 hours from noon, the time will be ihe next day in the morning; and if more than 12 hours from midnight, the time will be in the afternoon of the same day. The tide thus found is the first after the Moon's culmination. The second tide occurs 12 hours and 26 minutes later than the first. PLACES.

When the shadow cast by the $un 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, Mars until March 12, and all of 1871. after September 18. Saturn (3) until March 18, and from December Saturn from March 18 to December 22, 22 to March 30, 1871, 21 20 2 20 I A Table of Sixty-one Bright Stars. To ascertain when any Star found in the following Table will be on the upper meridian, add the numbers opposite in the left-hand column of figures to the time of “ Sidereal Noon" found in the calendar pages. For the RISING of a star, subtract the number opposite in the right-hand column of figures from its meridian passage. For the setting of a star, add the same number to its meridian passage. Those marked (....) revolve in a circle of perpetual apparition, and do not rise nor set north of the latitude of New York (40° 42' 40''), for which latitude the semi-diurnal arcs are calculated. The civil day begins at midnight, and consequently 24 hours after mid. night, or 12 hours from noon, is morning f the succeeding day; and more then 24 hou's from noon, is evening of the next day. From 12h. to 24h, from midnight, or from Oh. to 12h. from noon, will be in the afternoon of the same day. This table is arranged in the order of culmination, Surveyors and Civil Engineers may obtain the declination of the magnetic needle by observations on the Pole Star when upon the meridian, or when at the greatest elongation east or west. POLARIS and other stars pass the lower meridian 11h. 58m. after iheir upper transit. To the time of upper transit of Polaris, add 5h. 54m. and it gives the time of greatest western elongation. If the 5h. 54m. be subtracted from the time of upper transit, it will give the time of greatest eastern elongation. Observations made at the time of greatest elongation are less liable to error than those made at the time of transit. The mean distance of Polaris from the pole this year is 1° 23' 1 54. To find its azimuth for any latitude, take from 18.3828965 the logarithmic cosine of the latitude, and the remainder is the logarithmic sine of the azimuth, NAME OF STAR, On Rises NAME OF STAA.

NOTE.-In the table above it is to be understood that the word " near" and the character & (conjunction) are synonymous, and mean that the two bodies are nearest each other at the time expressed, and that they are then on a line running from the North Pole through both bodics, and have the same right ascension. GR. ELON, means greatest elongation or greatest apparent angular distance from the Sun. STATIONARY means that the planet is then without apparent motion east or west with respect to the Stars, and is about to move in a direction con. trary to that it last had. The character 8 indicates that the planet is opposite the Sun, or 180 deg., or a half circle east of it, and rises when the Sun sets, and sets when he rises. When a planet is a quarter of a circle or go deg. from the Sun, east or west, it is known by []. PLANETARY CHARACTERS.- ¢ Mercury, ! Venus, & Mars, 24 Jupiter, 3 Saturn, Hi Uranus, Planetary Notes. MERCURY will be at stations favorable for being visible March 3, July 1, October 22, being then in the east just before sunrise ; also January 15, May 8, September 4, and December 29, being then low in the west soon after sunset. The planet is brightest at these times. VENUS will be brightest January 17 and March 30. Mars not coming to the opposition this year, will not be brightest. JUPITER brightest December 13, rising at sunset. SATURN brightest June 16, rising at sunset. To Ascertain the Length of the Day and Night, at any time of the year, add 12 hours to the time of the Sun's setting, and from the sum subtract the time of rising, for the length of the day. Subtract the time of setting from 12 hours, and to the remainder add the time of rising next morning, for the length of the night. These rules are equally true for apparent time. Leap-Year-Every year the number of which is divisible by 4 without a remainder, is a leap-year, except the last year of the century, which is a leap-year only when divisible by 400 without a remainder. Thus the year 1900 will not be a leap-year. |
