(Specially prepared from the Tide Tables of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey for THE WORLD ALMANAC.)
NOTE-The time as above given from April to October, inclusive, must be increased by one hour in order to give the New Standard Eastern Time or Summer Time.
TIME OF HIGH WATER AT POINTS ON THE ATLANTIC COAST.
The standard time of high water at the following places may be found approximately for each day-by adding to or subtracting from the time of high water at Governor's Island, N. Y., the hours and minutes annexed.
0 Southport (Smithville), N. C 59 Vineyard Haven, Mass.
EXAMPLE. To find the approximate standard time of high tide at Atlantic City, N. J., on any day, find first the time of high water at New York under the desired date, and then subtract 51 minutes, as in the above table: the result is the time of high water required.
Highest tide at Eastport, Me., 218 inches. Lowest tide at Galveston, Tex., 12 inches.

THE NATIONAL AND STATE CAPITALS.
(Capitol Bullding, except where noted.)
Latitude of a place is its angular distance from the equator and is measured by an arc of the meldian between the zenith and the equator. Longitude of a place is measured by the arc of the equator, intercepted between the prime meridian and the meridian passing through the place, or by the angle at the pote between those two meridians.
