J | J 851. ISLAND CALENDAR. true times f On June t, from the Calendar, the Equa¬ tion of time is substract 2m. Sit., therefore the clock should be 2m. 34s. before noon, so the true time is lib. 57m. 36s. A.M. On July 1, the Equation of Time is, add 3m. 22s , therefore the dock should b< 3m. 22s. afternoon, or the time ia Oh. 3m. 22a. P. M. The greatest difference between mean time (common clock lime) and apparent time (lime as ahewn by the Sun-dial) occurs on ihe 3rd Novr, and it i « 16m. 17a. subtraetive. On the 12th February the greatest additive difference occurs, vie. 14m. 32s. "•—The Sun's declination for the same aa the Equation, 6th eol. 8.—The rising or setting of the Moon—the setting being given from the New to Full moon, and the rising from Full to New Moan. 9.—The place of the Moon in the Ecliptic. 10.—The time of the Moon's southing or passing the meridian This column also shews the time of High Water at Wind¬ sor, Parrsboro', Horton, Corn wallas and Truro, N.S. 11.—Days increase or decrease in hours and minutes. The top of the columns of each month shows the Moon's phase*, or the times of New and Full Moon, and of the first and last quarters, or Wo quadratures with the sun. , The Farmer's Calendar, is placed at the foot of the columns of each month.

B. lib.! 14m.—at Charlottetown, P. E. Island 10b. 65m.—and at St. Johns, New-j 'nundland Ah. 30m. All the calculations in this Calendar are made to ■M solar 'ime, a mode of computation now in general use, and which, will very soon (if H ha« not already done so) supercede the old mode off¬ reckoning. Those persons, however, who may prefer to use appartnt time, the calculations will be equally useful, as mean time can be con-| verted into apparent time by subtracting the quantity in the 6th column' of the left hand page, when the Sun is glow of clock, and adding it when. fait of clock. Thus on the 1st Feb. the sun rises in meantime at 7h.| 20m. and sets at 5h. -m. from which substracl 13m. the quantity by which the sun is that day loo slow, and obtain 7h. 7m. and 5b. 65m. th» apparent time. ! As for the Weather, we are still determined to have a guess at it, hit or miss, arid we hope that at least, it will be as often right as wrong ; at any rate, we shall endeavour not to confound winter snows with sum-1 mer ahnwers.
