<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It looks like data taken from Milne 1899 are not correct
enough for 1919.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Data by Byalokoz E.L. are slightly different. I think they
are reliable, because</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>in 1919 he was a president </FONT><FONT face=Arial>of
the Russian Committee of Standard Time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The difference may result from the new standard that was
