WHERE \ DAYS ~ IsLosT.

The Imaginary Line in the Pacific Where
To-day Becomes Tomorrow.
A question which has often been
asked, but rarely answered satisfactori'
ly, is how far one would have to &C
around the earth, moving castor west,
and supposing no time lost in transit
ton, before one would reach tho point
where to-day changes into yesterday OF
tomorrow, says the Boston Globe. Evi'
IDENTIFY there must be such point
somewhere, for an hour is lost every
fifteen degrees one goes to the east and
an hour gained every fifteen degrees
one goes to the west.
10 put the question in another way,
suppose it is one minute past midnight
in Paris on the morning OF October !,
what day is it at that same moment at
the antipodes OF Paris? Is it October L
or September 80?
Apparently one can prove that 1t IS
either OF these days by making an in
Simultaneous journey half way around
the earth, either to the east or to the
west.
Going east, Mt the moment the Paris
clocks point to n minute past midnight,
it is approximately l o'clock in the
morning OF October l at Vienna, . o'clock
OF the same day at SebNstopol, 8 o'clock
at Astrachan, o'clock at Bokhara, 7
o'clock at Saigon, 8 O'Clock at Yokoha-
ma, II o'clock ut Pine Island, and noon
at Fortune Island-the LIST OF October at
every point.
On the other hand, going westward
one finds that it is 10 o'clock in the
evening OF September 80 at the Azores
Islands, s o'clock in the evening at
Buenos Ayres, o'clock at New York, e
o'clock at New Orleans, 1915 at Mexico
City. | o'clock in the afternoon near the
Alentian Islands, and noon at Fortune
Islauds-tho date being September 50
in each case.
Thus one has demonstrated that it is
noon OF October and noon OF Septem-
Der so at the same place and at thesame
time.
This would certainly be embarrassing
to the good people OF Fortune Island,
and in order 10 avoid such complica-
tions and relieve well.meaning island
era in the Pacific from mixing up their
Saturdays and Sundays in hopeless
fashion, an arbitrary line separating to-
day from yesterday or tomorrow has
been agreed upon by the navigators OF
civilized nations. -,
This line has been drawn to avoid
touching land. No one can be exactly
sure OF the moment oil passing it, but
the line runs just east OF the New
Hebrides and the New Caledonian
groups, and passes near the Marion
Islands and the Caroline Islands.
Captains OF vessels, judging by the
positions OF the islands mentioned, can
fix the date within n few minutes.
Vessels sailing from west to east, on
passing this imaginary line, simply re.
peat the day before on their log books,
which consequently show two days
bearing the same date.
On the other hand. ships going in the
opposite direction skip the tomorrow
and lose day entirely. In the first
case the sailors get an extra days pay
in the second place they lose days
pay.
The conclusion OF tho whole matter is
that when Paris clocks indicate n
minute past midnight on October it is
October l going east as Jar rs the i'm
aginary limo just indicated, while it is
September 80 going west up to the same
linn

BEFORE THE BATTLE.
Republicans Taking Grea. Interest In Todays'
County Convention.

The interest Republicans are manifest
ing in the county convention TO be held to-
day clearly demonstrates one thing and
that is that they are not discouraged by
the temporary defeat Of the party last year
when an accidental land slide took place
that has brought the country to the verge
of ruin and which the patriotic American
people regret very much and are penitent
for it.
Nearly all the country delegates came in
last night. and the scene presented on
North Main street till as late as 10 p. N.
was both refreshing and encouraging. IL
is always refreshing to observe the en-
thusiastic devotion of Republicans TO
their Cause, and it is encouraging To
see them working so hard for their
friends. The same energetic work done
for Individual preferences last night
will be done for the entire ticket nomi-
mated by today's convention all through
the campaign and the result is bound to
be an overwhelming victory. The mem
bers from the country are especially active
in getting up good ticket. and while they
are working like beavers, their efforts are
directed along conservative lines That
the convention will be a red hot one there
is no doubt, for considering everything a
nomination by Republican convention in
this county, this year, is virtually an cleo
tion and the candidates who have Travelled
over the county and guaged public senti-
ment, know it, hence their esgerness to be
Both the delegates from the
town and the country are representatives
of the very best class of citizens and the
will be probably the finest
body of American voters that has ever
embled ia Wichita for the purpose OF
choosing servants to take care of the in
terests Of the public.
