Remarkable Astronomical Fact.


Two persons were born at the same
place. at the same moment of time.
After so years had rolled by they both
died, almost at the same instant, yet one
had lived 100 days more than the other.
How was this possible? Not to keep our
friends in suspense, we will give the
solution, which turns on Q curious, but,
with little reflection, very obvious
point in circumnavigation. A person GO
ing around the world towards tho west
loses day and towards the east he gains
one. Supposing, then, that these two
persons were born at the same instant
in st. Louis, from whence a voyage
around the world may be easily per-
formed once year; if one Of these per-
sons constantly goes towards the west
in SO years he will be so days behind the
stationary inhabitants; II the other sails
equally fast towards the east he will be
so days ahead Of them. One, therefore,
will have seen 100 days more than the
other, though they were born and died
in the same place, and at the same mo-
ment, and even lived continually in the
same latitude and reckoned time by the
same calendar.-St. Louis Republic.
