We, Too, Have an Empire on Which the

We, Too. Have an Empire ON Which the
Sun Never Sets.
Webster's eloquent description Of the
British Empire is very readable, but we
doubt whether it is generally realized
that we, too, have dominion on which
the sun never sets. twill hardly be be-
lieved, perhaps, without an examination
of the maps, that San Francisco. instead
of being the west line of this dominion,
is only about midway between our east
ern and western limits; and yet it is q
fact that the furthest Aleutian isle 60
quired in our purchase of Russian Amer
lea is as far to the west of that city as
Eastport, Me-, is to the east Of it. Be-
tween the northwest limit Of the State
of Washington and the southern limit Of
Alaska there is break of few degrees,
but with the slightest reduction our ter
ritory extends through 1876 degrees Of
longitude, or II degrees moro than half
way round the globe.
Hence, when the sun is giving its good
night kiss to our westward isle, on the
confines OF the Behring Sea, it is already
flooding the fields and forests of Maine
with its morning light, and in the east
ern part Of the State is more than an
hour high. At the very moment when
the Aleutian fisherman, warned by the
approaching shades of night, is pulling
his canoe toward the shore, the wood
chopper OF Maine is beginning to wake
the forest echoes with his stirring music
of the axe.
