His debt is ours. 1t is many times
multiplied. 1t ia ever growing, as
the ever growing republic illustrates
in its virtues and in its faults
alike, the merit OF his example and the
kingdom of mis- teachings. Beholding
this monument we rejoice that the debt
ia acknowledged. and realize that no
limitation OF time Can bar rendition OF
justice to a noble name. Our gratitude
goes forth to our country women who
have 30 worthily achieved this work.
Men attempted it and left it half ec-
complished. The state and federal gov
ernment alike contemplated, discussed
and then postponed it. Our noble
women undertook it and it is done.
I'VE thank you, madame, you Mrs.
President, and your companions OF the
Mary Washington association. Your
success is your reward and you will
be henceiorth blended in our generation
with her whose name is carved on this
sacred stone. 1t was fitting, indeed,
that yopr pious hands should rear the
fret monument On the earth erected by
women to q women. and fitting, too,
thst it should bsar the name OF Mary,
the mother of Washington.
"There were 10000 Mary Washing.
tons among tho mothers CT the revolu-
ton, and honoring her, we honor the
motherhood of heroic days aid heroic
men. 1t WAS in his character, all-suti-
cient in every emergency, that was dis
played the ov~rtowering greatness OF
George Washington, and it is not
doubted that this character Was toned
down and chaped by his mother. Tne
principles which he applied to nation
were those simple aud elementary
truths which she first imprinted upon
his mind in his discipline Of home"
Senator Daniel reviewed eloquently
the facts of history concerning the
mother of Warrington, and the spirit OF
the times in which George Washington
was reared, was discussed.
The monument is plain granite

all over the world. When we say say
that the celestial and terrestrial equa-
tors coincide or correspond, we don't
mean to convey dual idea, as the ter
restrial equator is simply point or
part of the celestial equator, reached
by the earth at the equinoXes. At
every other portion Of the year the
earth's path or orbit is in the ecliptic.
THE SITUATION SUMMARIZED.
To these explanations we add the
following summaries:
First. On any other days or month
of the year, when the sun is north Of
the equator, in our latitude, the length
of the day and the night corresponds
to the suns declination. The same is
true when the sun is south of the
equator; the length of days and nights
depends on the SUMS declination.
Second. The sun is north of the
equator from the vernal to the autumn
nal equinox, and south Of the equator
until the 2lst of March again.
Third. While the circle of illumina-
ton, at any period of the year, bisects
the earth into two equal parts, yet its
location as to the suns declination de-
termines the length of days and nights
and the vicissitude of the seasons in
the temperate zones.
Fourth. On the 22d of June the suns
declination is % degrees % minutes
north, and then shines beyond the
north pole, giving the long polar day
and night alternately at the south
pole.
Fifth-The sun appears above the
horizon in the Arctic regions from
March 81 until Sept %. when the
dawn Of the south polar begins, the sun
ascending above the horizon until
Dec. q, when it is midday at the south
pole, and midnight at the north pole
where it continues without the rays of
the sun until March q. Man can only
conjecture the appearance of the sun
in the polar regions as he majestically
seems to move horizontally in his
course around the sky. But he does
not reign supreme and annihilate the
night, for she follows him in his APP
parent course disputing every inch OF
territory and casting her mantle over
one-half of the globe. And notwith-
standing the procession of the equinoXs,
they will stand for many generations
as there Is no probable danger Of their
immediate extinction or abatement of
the equinoctial storms.

THE EQUINocTlaL STORM.
Editor of THE TRIBUNE.

Editor Of THE TRIBUNE.
SIR:-Referring to an article under the
above title which appeared in last Wednes.
days TRIBUNE in answer to an article un-
der similar title which had appeared in
the Free Press. Last Sundays Press -
after an unworthy insinuation as to our
motive-spoke as follows: "This paper
made no assertion that the days ard nights
are equal all over the globe on Sept. 81.
Any school boy who has studied primary
geography knows better, and we did not
consider it necessary TO specify where the
days and nights were OF equal length on
that day, we assumed our readers knew
that without being told"
1t is true that the correspondent did not
say that days and nights were equal on
Sept. 81, but he did say that they were
equal all over the globe on Sept. %; at
least, we presume that he intended to say
when he spoke of the equinox as "The
time when days and nights are Of equal
length and when 1.-THE equality as to the
length OF days and nights is the same in
all parts Of the globe" respectfully ask
the readers Of The TRIBUNE whether they
would, from the above quotations, come
to any conclusion other than that he in
tended to say that day and night were
equal in all parts of the globe. But we are
persuaded now that he meant only just
what he succeeded to say. namely, THAT
the equinox is the time when equality is
equality in all parts Of the globe" Stripped
OF its ambiguity, the bare sentence would
read thus: ''The equinox is the time when
equality is the same in all parts of the
globe" What piece Of information
Little did we think that it was necessary
to inform even the small boy who is not
old enough to be 'school boy" of the
fact; so we took it for granted that the
writer was still speaking Of the equality OF
day and night: but it seems that he had
suddenly left that subject, and had under
taken the arduous task Of informing his
readers that equality is equality-on the
dates mentioned-in all parts Of the
globe" Having assumed that his read
ers knew without being told where day
aud night are at equal length" he would
do them no injustice to assume also that
they knew without being told" that
equality means the same thing at all times,
and in all parts of the globe.
