More Questions.

EDlroRs The question IN the Free Press Of
January 9th, was intended to mean the ht't man
that the supposed traveller should meet that should
tell him it was Tuesday noon, that being so
strongly implied it could not reasonably be mis-
understood.
The question supposes that there is a point or
locality on the circumference of the globe, where
the day changes from Monday to Tuesday, which
I hold is the case, and the object I had in raising
the question was to start Investigation on That
point, and that point must be settled before the
question can be answered. That there is acertaln
point or locality on the circumference Of the globe
where the supposed traveller would meet the man
that would tell him it was Monday noon, and the
next it was Tuesday noon, can DO shown. 1t can
be shown that there is such a point, where it is,
and why it is there. And l would propose another
question which tends to that point. When 1T is
Monday noon at New York, it is forty minutes
past midnight at Pekin, in China is it Monday or
Tuesday at Pekin. And how far is it Monday on
the globe Eas st and West from New York at IL
o'clock, on Monday. These are no visionary
questions. L.. T.. S~HELBURN.

A Fatal Mistake.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 2l.-A terrible tragedy
occurred here to-day. A druggist filled a
prescription ordered by Arnold, a German
physician, for u child. The child took her
medicine and died Immediately. Arnold
took the remainder of the medicine to the
druggist and told him he had made a fatal
mistake. The druggist persisted that the
medicine was right and to show his conf
dence in his correctness he swallowed a
portion himself. lie was Immediately at
tackled by horrible commissions and died in
five minutes. The Doctor who merely
tasted the preparation and spit it from
his mouth was also alta cked and with diff
fculty saved. The affair occasioned much
excitement. The druggist had mixed
Cyanuret Of Potassium with Lemon juice,
developing enough prussic acid in the pre-
paration to have killed three hundred peo-
