The Ruling Passion Strong in Death

The Ruling Passion Strong in Death.
A man died in New Jersey recently,
says the Weekly Witness, who was
worth 800, 900 and had no near rel
atives. About an hour before fis
death he asked for workman, who
occupied small home on his place.
The physician and nurse surmised
that he was about to give the little
home to the workman who has proved
faithful for many years. But when
the man appeared, his dying landlord
said to him: "You only paid me "a
on the last rent, and in case die /
want to have things straight, you
know, so I'd like you to pay the other
two dollars" The money was paid,
and few minutes after clutching it
the rich man passed away, apparently
happy.
That is the whole story as it comes
to us through the newspapers, but
it certainly is not the end of the
story. We will not know the result
until the veil which shrouds the fu-
ture from our vision shall have been
lifted; but it is awful to think of
this rich man going to meet the
Judge OF all the earth with these two
dollars in his hand.
Yet there was nothing amiss with
the manner of this mans death, II
judged by the ideas, current among
rich church members in regard to the
right and responsibilities associated
with the possession of wealth; for
this man only claimed his own and
got 1t. The only thing that suggests
thought Of danger in connection
with these two dollars is the solemn
warning given to us by the Judge
that he will hold us accountable tn a
higher standard of righteousness than
that which prevails among Us
Speaking of a certain rich man who
had used his riches as IL they were
altoQ ether his own, he said:
"The rich man also died, and was
buried; aud in hell he lifted up his
eyes, being in torment.
Let those who have been intrustcd
with any measure of worldly pros
,erity remember that God has made
chem In an especial manner their
brothers keeper, and that they must
expect to die just as they live, and tos
slrry with them to the Judgment
seat the characters that they have
built I'D In their daily lives.

Pentwater in Danger.

A telephone message to Muskegon
from Pentwater stated that for time
it was feared the entire city would be
burned. There was a heavy wind, and
it swept TIE flames resistlessly until
the firemen succeeded in stopping
them just before they reached the
largest hotel there. A grist mill and
two barns were burned, at an estimated
loss OF $4,000, with the same insur-
ance. Help was asked from surround

rhe Equator IL Humdrum Compared viii
the Imaginary Line I'm the Pacific.


rhe Equator IL Humdrum Compared with
the Imaginary line in the Pacific.
, A question which has often been
asked but rarely answered satisfac-
torily Is: How far would one have to
90 around the earth, moving east or
west, and supposing no time lost In
transition, before one would reach
the point where to-day changes into
yesterday or tomorrow. Evidently
there must be such a point some
where, for an hour Is lost every Is
degrees one goes TO the east, aud an
hour gained every Is degrees one goes
| 20 the west.
To put the question in another
way, suppose it is one minute past
midnight in Paris the morning of
Oct |, what day is at that moment
at the antipodes or Paris? Is it Oct
l or Sept 30?
Apparently one can prove that it
Is either of these days by making an
instantaneous journey half way
around the earth, either to the east.
Or to the west.
Going east, at the moment the
Paris clocks point to minute past
midnight it is approximately o'clock
In the morning OF Oct. / at Vienna,
o'clock OF the same day at Sebasto.
pol, 3 o'clock at Astrachan, 4 o'clock
at Bokhara, o'clock at Saignon, 8
o'clock at Yokohama, l. o'clock at
Pine Island, and noon at Fortune
Island-the lst Of October at every
point.
On the other hand. going west
ward one finds that it is 10 O'Clock
In the evening Of Sept. 80 at the
Azores Islands, 8 O'Clock III the even
ing at Buenos Ayres, o'clock at
New York, 6 o'clock at New Orleans,
3:l5 at Mexico city, O'Clock in the
afternoon near the Aleutian Islands,
and noon at Fortune Islands-the
date being Sept 80 in each case.
Thus one has demonstrated that
it is noon Of Oct. and noon OF Sept.
80 at the same place and at the same
time.
This would certainly be embarrass-
ing to the good people Of Fortune
Island, and in order to avoid such
complications and relieve we'll
meaning islanders in the Pacific from
mixing up their Saturday and Sum
day in hopeless fashion an arbitrary
line separating to-day from yesterday
or tomorrow has been agreed upon
by the navigators Of civilized ma
tions.
This line has been drawn to avoid
touching land. No one can be exact
ly sure Of the moment OF passing it,
but the line runs just east of New
Hebrides and the New CALIFORNIAN
groups and passes near the Marion
Islands and Caroline Islands
Captains of vessels, judging by
the positions of the islands men,
toned, can fix the date within few
minutes.
Vessels sailing from west to east
on pa sing this imaginary l'ne simply
repeat 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 to-
morrow and lose a day entirely. In
the first case the sailors get an extra
days pay; in the second place they
lose days pay.
The conclusion Of the whole mat
ter is that when Paris clocks indi-
cate minute past midnight on Oct
it is Oct going east as far as the
imaginary line just Indicated, while
it is Sept go going west up to the
same line. Boston Globe.
