Everybody docs not know that by Il
very simple rule the duration of night
and day a be determined at any
time Of the year. All you have to do
is to multiply the time of the suns
rising by two, and it will give you
the length Of the night. Multiply the
time Of setting by two and you get the
length Of the day. 1t is easily demon.
stratod Mt the time of the year when
the sun sets at six, and the day and
night are Of equal duration. II is
just ms true rs the days longthcu and
shorten. Thus. as Winter approach.
cs. take n duy when the sun rises nj
G:30 and sets at $3.50. Apply the rule
and You have n night of thirteen
hours and n day of eleven hours.
Tho rule will be found absolutely ac-
curatc ut any season Of the year.
