Where Time-Skips a Day.
lSt. Louis Globe Democrat


"There is q small island i'll the South
Pacific" said John l.. Davis, a veteran sea
Captain, the other day, where there only
appears to he six days in the week. This
extraordinary phenomenon is brought about
by the location of the island.
Travellers around the world are acquaint-
ed with the fact that time is lost while
travelling east and gained while travelling
west, the difference of time in the transat-
lantic journey alone being about four hours
" / had to run into Chatham Island once
when disabled, and was amused to see the
way in which the people accepted their fate
in regard to the jumping of time. This
little island is just ON the line of demarca-
ton between times and dates.
In order to keep right with the remainder
of the world it is necessary to skip from noon
on Sunday to noon on Monday every week
in the year, hence the joke that it is possible
to spend whole day at dinner without eat
ing an average meal
"The island is so near the antartic region
that days and nights are altogether mixed up
from the idea OF an ordinary individual, but
this plan of jumping the afternoon of one
day and the morning OF the next so as to
keep in line with the almanac is something
so ridiculous that none but seafaring
man can appreciate it or understand the
necessity.

Whether some PRIMAL has stolen In
My bosons chamber as IL 10 win
Some cherished thoughts long unexpressed,
Or whether he hoped within my breas.
To find relief from the worldly din,
From the careworn day of a world Of sin,
Is more than L in my sad unrest
Can find within nae to confess.
But sleep has opened its portals wide,
And LAST in the sunfighfs golden tide
Something thought forgotten here,
In the changing scenes of a passing year.
But though the shadows may often hide
The ghosts within, with a knocking pride,
In the time of our 5lissful, brightest cheer
Our Joy is ALL by bitter tear.
For driven to read by this roguish PRIME
In book long laid on the shelf of time,
All that my restless spirit knows
Is the recollection the volume shows
Though the poet breathe in his sweetest rhyme
Be the MASTER hand of q chord sublime.
He can never soothe what the leaves disclose
In the faded scent of n last years rosei
