Norwegian Time

English tonrist8 ia Norway are reported to be not a little perplexed by the ecoentridtiHs of Norwegian time. At home they in e aicustomed to a uniform time, calcul.ited for the meridian of Greenwich; bui in Norway every town adopta its own meridian. henee tourists' watchea are jerpetually nppeaiÍDg to be wrong. The tulegraph offices and the railways that happen to be in ronnection with Chrietiania regálate themst-lves, ir is tme, by Christiania mean time, but this only inrreases the confusión, for al] the other railways, together with the Bteamers, start punctually by local time. To add etill fnrther to his bewildennent, no sooner does the traveler cross the frontier tlian the Swedish railway time, which is eighteen minutes different from Chriftiania time, comes into upp. In Bergen nnfortunate strangers w!io have set thpir wtfehet by tlie town or postofüce clock ara constuntly rushingto the telegrapli oifioe only to find that it is closed in acconlance with Christiania time. The oulocky Britis'a tourist who spends so inuch of his time .and money in Norway in these dnya might fairly ask for a little more consideration. The Norwegians themselves are askiug for a uniform time according to the rneridian of Christiania.
