to spectator at the pole no such change would
appear, except to the small amount of the daily
change of declination. Thus, not only to the
eye, but also for the practical purpose of obtain.
ing the time by astronomical observations, tn
zn would appear throughout the twenty-four
hours neither to rise nor fall, but to describe a
circle round the heavens parallel with the hori-
son. Therefore, the usual mode of ascertaining
the time would utterly fail; and indeed, however
Startling may be the assertion, it is nevertheless
true, that time, or the natural distinction OF
time would be no more. This will appear from
the consideration that the idea of apparent time
refers only to the particular meridian on which
an observer happens to be placed; and is mark.
ed or determined only BY the distance of the
sun, or some other heavenly body, from that
meridian. Now as an observer at the pole i:

The Sun Forever on the Meridian.

Professor Sontag, Astronomer to the :. Grin
nell Expedition" in his narrative says 'As the
land adjacent TO the Pole is all terra incog
nits" it is impossible to say what additions to
the stores of natural science a visitor TO these
regions might be able to make. Certain it is,
however, that a new aud wide field would br
opened for investigation. Everything there
would be novel; and that circumstance alone
would b. well calculatsl to stimulate his atten-
tive faculties. The difficulties which would
present themselves to the investigator may b.
appreciated at home; but they would be greater
or less according to circumstances of which we
know nothing We know not, for example,
whether the Pole is covered with open water, or
| icy sea, or dry land nor do we know which OF
hese three c)n litions woull b. m1st favorable

| that an open sea would be, in several respects
the most disadvantageous In the first place, i

ship would be unable to anchor; and the curren

her position steadily at one point, the comman
