Almanac" at Washington. ID. c.. kindly defined
the International date lire. it is called, as
follows 81 .stsr .,,H ..
Starting In the Arctic Ocean, it runs along
the 169th meridian of west longitude south
ward Is to latitude CO north; thence in
southwesteriy direction to a point stu
ated in"longitude 172' east from Greenwich
and latitude So north: thence southwark along
that meridian to latitude Is north thence
eastward to longitude l50' west: thence south
ward to latitude 10 south; thence westward to
longitude 1867 west; thence southwark to lati-
tude 90 south: thence diagonally to point In
longitude 1907 and latitude CO. south. and thence
to the South Pole.
THE object of this rather tortuous course OF
the date line is doubtless to prevent the incon-
venence Of having different days OF the week
simultaneously in neighboring countries The
line is determined by local usage on the various
islands and continents between which II passes
So far 1 know. there is no international
agreement in regard to the matter.
AS one glaEces at the map he can readily I'M
dea-stand most Of the eccentricities here indi-
Gated. Obviously it is wise thing to swing the
time boundary far enough TO the eastward to
pass down through Behring Strait rather than
have II slice off bit from Russia by strict
adherence to the 1S0th meridian. Again. it is
a sensible idea to carry the line far enough to
westward to include the further Aleutians with
the main system of islands. The most remark
able freak Of the date line is the eastward ex-
tension to the 15Oth meridian of west longitude
But this is easily explained. Local custom as
sociates the Sandwich, Society and Marquesas
islands with the American calendar. while IN
the Tonga and Samoan groups the usage con-
forms to that Of the Fiji Islands and the greater
part OF Oceanica. The Chatham Islands lie only
four degrees to the eastward of the 1SOth merid-
ian. but are commercially and politically iden-
tilted with the people of New-Zealand and Aus
tralla. The international date line therefore
keeps to the east OF them.
This difference between the local standards and
the practice of naval vessels makes it possible
for cruiser to touch at the Chatham Islands
and find the day of the week there different
from that observed on shpboard But the in
convenience resulting from such q state OF
things is slight compared with the advantages
of commercial and social intercourse between
the inhabitants of adjacent Islands.
It is worthy of remark that a good many ex-
cellent aliases and school biographies now
widely accepted as accurate err somewhat In To-
eating the international date line, and they dis
agree considerably among themselves.

forage crop, asi is highly nitrogenous.
IL never becomes bad weed and can

sFates that there is no good reason why
the South should not grow its own

there is a good list to choose from.
Beggar weed ia, perhaps, the best of
these for the light sandy pine lands.
