Ii Is a humiliating confession to
make-but geography is pitiless and
our national vain-glory must bow to
decrees-that for four hours in TWEEN
ty-four the entire territory of the
United States is deprived of sunshine.
As the sun goes down in our hrthest
Aleutian island its morning rays are
just lighting up the hilltops of the
western coast of Ireland, and the
whole breadth of the Atlantic lies
between us and daylight.
To our Fenian citizens this may be
another and cOgent reason for annex
ing the dear little isle of the harp and
the shamrock, but until it is done the
exultant cry Of the Rocky Mountain
Presbyteridn that the sun never sets
on the United States, must be admit
ted to be little exaggerated. II
does set every day, and paradoxically,
four hours before 1t rises. In the
depth Of our humiliation we may pos
sibly console ourselves with the reAec.
ton that sun really shines on the
United States when it is up.
We have to submit to four hours Of
sunlessness a day; England is lucky to
get four hours of sunshine. So life
has its compensation and existence in
the United States remains endurable,
though we do not-geographically
speaking-make quite so great a
spread as we thought Scientific
American.
