siOns ice could scarcely be maintained
with ammonia process, while in some
parts of Alaska it would scarcely yield
to electricity.
This is the chart which the nation
offers in it's race with the sun. Starting
with the eastern limits of Porto Rico
in longitude 10 degrees 80 minutes
west, with the time fixed at a. M.
the territorial limits, longitude and
time of day follow this schedule:
New York. longitude &c degrees west,
time 4:15 a. NJ.
Chicago, longitude IS degrees west. time
3:l5 a. III.
San Francisco, longitude 122 degrees
west. time 1:15 a. nj.
Honolulu, longitude 155 degrees west,
time 1o:41 p. m.
Dawson City, longitude 165 degrees
west, time 1921 p. IN.
Carolines. longitude loo degrees east,
time 7:42 p. III.
Ladrones, longitude AS degrees east,
time 7:02 p. m.
Manila, longitude 100 degrees SO min
utcs east, time 4:42 p. M.
In the majority of these cases the
longitude Is taken from government
charts. The others are Appropriated,
but so nearly that exact measurements
will not show substantial variation. 1t
will be seen. therefore. with the exact
west longitude of Porto Rico set down
against an equally exact east longi-
tude, counting both from Greenwich,
for Manila. the total distance in de-
grees, etc. and hours is fixed. The in
termediate points outside of the CONT
mental limits are estimated from their
location on the charts and may vary
as much as couple of degrees. This,
however. would not make more than
eight minutes in time variation.

to within hailing distance of the equa-
tor. If an enormous flag We're spread
out so that IL would take in everything
over which it now BG.l.s the accurate
measurements would just about bring
all within Its borders. The Philippines
run down to within five degrees north
of the equator; the northern cape of
Alaska goes well up to - or 70 de-
grees north latitude. SO it will be seen
that Il man must do a power of sailing
north, south. east and west to get away
from parallels of latitude and longi-
tude from which the flag of America is
absent.
Dramatically the country now runs
the entire gamut of the earth. 1t has
possessions in the torrid cllmes very
near the central belt: it runs for de-
grees into the frigid at the top of the
scale. 1t takes in every phase of at
mospheric manifestation and disturb
ance from typhoon to n blizzard. 1t
ranges from climes where ice Is never
absent to those where is Is never
known. In some of the new posses
