So far as com- municating the time as corrected in Bogotá to other parts of the country is concerned, this is rendered impossible by the very poor telegraphic service, it frequently taking 4 and 5 days to send messages a distance of from 50 to 100 miles. :stb: [[Bogotá]] :st: [TZ[-04:56:54.2]] :c: [[Costa Rica]] :conv: [TZ[-05:36:17]] :t: [TZ[-05:36:16.9]] :s: The Government has established an observatory at the capital, San José, in latitude 9° 56′ north, longi- tude 84° 4′ 14″ west from Greenwich; altitude 3.800 feed above see level.

Standard Turkish time is used generally by the people, sunset being the base and twelve hours be- ing added for a theoretical sunrise. The official clocks are set daily so as to read 12 o'clock at the theoretical sunrise, but the tower clocks are set only two or three times a week.
