ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. "t Chummy."—Yes, it is possible that two stations a few miles apart might have a difference of nearly twentyfour hours in time. The difference between New Zealand and Nevada is approximately 19 hours 50 minutes, New Zealand being in advance. The apparent difference between Nevada and New Zealand is 4 hours 10 minutes, and that would bo the difference if tho world's day commenced at Nevada. But for practical purposes you may take it that when it is noon on Monday in Nevada it is 7.50 a.m. on Tuesday in New Zealand.
