Traces of the Armada.

The London letter of the Washing

Dewey and his exploits have simply
filed the papers all the week. The
newsboys have been hawking his name
morning, noon and night. Joseph
Humphres, state manager for most of
Charles Frohman's productions, just
come to town. tells that there is more
war excitement on the streets here
than there is in New York. OF course
the papers are not mplimentary to-
ward the navy of the Dons. The war
now proceeding is remainder to some
interested in history that the traces of
the Armada have not all been swept
away. By ancient custom every ship
which enters Plymouth Sound has to
pay the neighboring borough of Salt
ash a toll of one shilling, but since the
days of Dranke's great victory, Span
ish have had to pay double toll. By
these means the rate-payers of Saltash
have been eased of their burdens to
the extent of e12O year but the i'm
posts will cease three years hence, and
Plymouth Sound will once again be .
free anchorage to the ships of Spain.
What kind of ships will Spain have
three years from now?

From the ST. James's Gazette
Seeing that as one moves westward
the time gets earlier and earlier, SO
that when it is Monday noon in London
it is some time Monday morning in
America, it follows that, if this prin-
ciple were continued without linn
it all the way around the world, at
the same moment that 1t was
Monday noon in London it would be
also "a hours later. e., Tuesday
noon in London. AS this is reduc-
ito sad .absurdum, we have to look
for the limit, which does, in fact, ex-
ist, to the principle that as one moves
westward the time gets earlier.
and as one moves eastward gets lat
err.
Before the decentralization of the
globe there was no difficulty. When
on Monday the sun stood over Lon
don it was Monday noon in London.
AS the sun moved Ito use the popular
phrase) westward, and stood little
later over Dublin, it became Monday
noon in Dublin, and so on until he
reached the western limit of the
known world. When the sun passed
over that limit that was the end of
noon for that Monday. and nobody
knew what the sun was doing until he
reappeared on the eastern limit of the
known world, bringing with him Tues
day morning 1t is evident, therefore,
that while the sun was in the un-
known abyss between west and east, he
dropped the attribute of making
the time at all places directly unoer
his rays Monday noon and took to him
self the attribute of making it Tuesday
noon.
AS the confines of the world were
pushed further eastward and westward,
respectively, the unknown abyss where
this change of attribute had to be made
got narrower and narrower, until,
when the globe was circumnavigated,
the place OF change be-
came simply line. This line
exists and is the place where the days
begin As the sun crosses this remark
able spot the time jumps "a hours on
ward-from noon on one day to noon
the next day. The situation of the line
has been located quite fortuitously-
namely, by the circumstance whether
any given place was first reached by
civilized man journeying from the
east or from the west. The dis
coverer brought with him the al

the line which marks where the days
begin lies between these two in the
Pacific ocean, and, instead of being a
straight line, zig-zags about. dividing
Islands which happened to be discov-
cred from the east from those which
happened to be discovered from the
west. There must still be many is
lands in that ocean where it is not yet
decided to which side of the. line
they belong, ssnd where il one
know whether it were today, tomor-
be many islands there which, never
having been permanently occupied by
civilized people, change their day from
time to time, so that q ship call
ing there coming from China might
arrive on Tuesday, while another ship
calling at the same time from America
would arrived on Monday. There must
also be people living SO near this line
that by going few miles they can
leave today and get into tomorrow, or
by going back can find yesterday. How
convenient for troublesome appoint
ments.
Many other curious considerations
occur to one, but have said enough, 1
think, to show-that every one does
not, perhaps, reslize-that there is q
place in the world where the days be-

An Excellent Suggestion.
Baltimore Herald.

Baltimore Herald.
Among the methods suggested to in
wife the attention of outsiders to the
advantages possessed by this city as a
mercantile and manufacturing centre
10 the establishment of q bureau of in
formation. which shall devote itself es-
pecially to the work OF distributing
printed matter and otherwise attract
ing trade. 1t 10 the opinion of bust
ness men that IL we acquaint the sur
rounding sections of the country with
the substantial benefits to be de-
rived from dealing here the volume
of sales can be greatly increased
and Baltimore's commercial
prestige heightened corresponding
ly.
Municipalities occupy much the po-
sition of private establishments, in
that the inducements which they offer
to homeseekers, to buyers and other
Glasses must be made apparent. This
can be done most successfully by the
collection and presentation of concrete
facts in easily comprehensive form,
and their distribution through suit
able agencies. In other words, pro-
gressive cities must advertise them
selves in accordance with q system
adapted to special requirements.
This Baltimore's commercial rivals
are doing persistently and continuously.
It should also be remarked that they
are intensely selfish, never neglecting
IN opportunity to magnify their own
achievements nor OF detracting from
those of competitors.
Our business organizations have
done much to advance the interests of
the city, but there is ample room for
the supplementing Of their
efforts by . bureau equipped par
ticularly to pursue certain lines of
work. An institution such as that pro-
posed would be valuable adjunct to
the facilities which already exist for
the dissemination of information rela-
tive to Baltimore's advantages. It
would doubtless secure the hearty CO.
operation of the forces employed by
the different associations, all of which
could render valuable assistance.
The bureau would have available
great mass of excellent material, and
would be confronted by q comparative
ly easy task, as the Monumental City
presents all the elements favorable to
methodical cauvassing.

The ex-premier of Italy was not very
far from the truth when he said lately
that freedom was contagious and that
one of the results of the war between
the United States and Spain would be
the spread and perhaps the early do
mination of American democratic
ideas in Europe. He was hardly pre-
pared, however to believe that Italy
would be one of the first of European
monsrchies to develop SYMPTOMS of the
dread CONTRACTION.
