Any Time You Want at the Pole.

Any Time You Want at the Pole.
Those who are conversant with the
use of globes know that all the merid-
ians of longitude starting from the
equator converge toward and meet at
the pole. They know, too. that longi-
tude signifies time, and that difference
Of longitude is difference in time. They
know very well that when it is noon in
London 1t is about o'clock In the
morning in Boston, and that when 1t Is
noon in San Francisco it is about a
quarter past in the afternoon in New
York.
Now, as the meridian of London ex.
tends to the north pole, 1t necessarily
ensues that when 1t Is noon in the Eng
fish capital it must also be noon at the
north pole. In similar manner when
it is noon at Boston, or in San Francis
co, or at Picking, or any other place
situated In the northern hemisphere,
1t follows that it must also be noon at
the pole, because all the meridians Of
those places unite at the north pole.
Therefore it Is noon all day long at the
pole.
Thus there is an entire absence Of
time at the pole. But it would be just
as correct to say that it is place
where there is a preponderance Of
time, for it is practically any time Of
day during the whole "a hours, or In
deed through the year. In fact resi-
dent at the north pole could make 1t
any time Of day he might choose to Sc
lect, with the consciousness that 1t
would be the right time.-Youth's Com

Once somebody called the late Fran

matte critic, THAT imbecile, Sarcey."
A kind friend rushed to him, waving
the paper. Are you going to challenge

"Celtainly not" replied Sarcey. Il
owe him thanks. The public will forget
the word imbecile and will remember
to have read my name."
Sarcey was for 40 years the chief
dramatic critic Of a nation that values
style, yet he always wrote in plain.
blunt fashion. He refused to be a
member Of the French academy lest
dramatists who might become his fell
low members might wish him to favor

HAWAII'S VOLCANO,

Honolulu, via san Francisco. Aug. l.
Mauna Loa, received by way of ![alieha
il to the effect that great change took
place in the course Of the lava flow on
the night Of July 10. The mighty stream
Of burning lava, which was steadily flow
ing toward the town of Itilo and threat
ening its dcstruot on, has fortunately
been diverted in its course 80 that the
danger of life and property is less immi-
nent than at the time of the previous
mail advices from here.
Ever since the flow began, July i. the
course of the principal stream of lava

and partly crossed the flow of 1880
Then it turned abruptly to the north in
the direction of Kaieha. on the side Of
Mauna Lon 1t spread all over the side
of the mountain. occupying an area al
most mile wide.
This was the condition of things up to
the night of July 1S. Some time during
that night the first part of the stream
flowing eastward broke through its bank
about half way from its source, where
it turned northward and formed a new
channel running northwArd down the
mountain parallel with the old channel,
but farther west. This is carrying the
lava less directly toward ILilo and keep
ing it nearer the ridge which divides it
from the slope off in the direction of the
Kohala coast.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Surgeon Gen

ing from Lieutenant Colonel Dewitt at

yellow fever at the Soldiers home at
Hampton, Va:
Surgeon pettus United States marine

clally stated that yellow fever is at

Ger took immediate measures for quaran-
tine. Surgeon Pettus states surgeon

notified"
The authorities here are preparing to
adopt stringent regulations to prevent the
spread of the disease, but it is admit ted
that the delay in properly diagnosing
the cases has made the situation serious
Excursion parties have been to the Sol
diers' home since the appearance there of
the yellow fever and have departed to
all parts of the country, some coming to
WASHINGTON on the river steamboats,.
Surgeon General Wyman and Surgeon
General Stc1nlerg have had confer
ence regarding the proper steps to be
taken to prevent an epidemic Of the dis
probable that Norfolk and the entire
country about Old Point Comfort and
Hampton will be Guaranteed.
DR.. Wymnn of the marine hospital
service is busily engaged in arranging
to handle the epidemic at the Soldiers
home but has not as yet succeeded in
taking any practical steps.
Waiting For Reports.
DR.. Wyman expects to receive reports
from the resident physicians and will
then take action. The local quarantine
service is likely to be very strict, as also
the general steamboat and railroad quar-
antine.. DR.. Wyman has not yet decided
to go to Hampton. The last outbreak at
Norfolk was in 1850 and the mortality
at that time was .4O1.
General Corlin says that one theory of
the way in which the fever might have
been brought to the home is that one OF
the sol;liv:s recently visited Santiago. He
returned some time since suffering with
what the physicians thought to be dengue.
1t seems it was not until the inmates OF
the home began to die that the disease
was discovered to be yellow fever. Gen
eral Corhin says there is not the least
question about the character of the dis
ease, physicians who were present at the
post moitpln on some Of the victims de-
claring that yellow fever was surely pres
ent.
