"sineed the Spanish Kings beard" II
was in the reign of Philip II that the
Spanish monarchy attained its highest
point Of splendor and dominion. When
the Ambassador Gondomar was combln-
ing business and pleasure at the English
court he babe Spanish grandee who was
returning to his own country remember
him TO the SUM-" which he had not seen
since his residence in England and which
he would be sure TO find in Spain.
The spaniards, however, had long been
conscious that the sun was always SHIN
ing on some of their territories. In one
of Howells well-known collections OF let
ters. published in 1923, occurs this pas
sage: in Philip It's time this crown
came to his grandeur, and truly, to give
the Spaniard his due, he is mighty
monarch, who hath dominion In Europe
Asia, Africa and America. so the sun
shines all the four and twenty hours or
the natural day upon some part OF ms
country, for part of the antipodes are
subject to him" And in his account or
ouistoric Phrases" Buchanan quotes the
following sentence of a Dutch author IN
1860; The King of Spain is great 20
tentafe who stands with one root IN the
east and the other in the west, ana the
sun never sets that IT does not shine on
some of his dominlons." The same idea
also finds expression in Guarinfs pastor
Fido" written some seventy years earli-
or in which Catherine OF Austria Is
snoken of as the illusirious daughter or
the monach on whose empire the sun
never SETS
But Portugal had also put forward her
claim to an ever present sum- anu Ger
tainly not without some show OF reason.
Even now in proportion to the import
ance Of the mother country the Portu-
guese dependencies are Of considerable

that the sun looks upon IL when 1t rises
IL still beholds It at midday, ana when

form the figure Is presented, there can

WHERE TIE SUN NEVER SETS.
Some of the Countries Qualified 10
Put Forward This Claim.
From the London Globe .


That the sun never sets on the British
empire is an axiom which suggests rather
than defines the truth which inspired 1t
This, of course, is by no means of scien-
tinc or even literal exactness. But we all
recognize the meaning of the phrase
which, like many another rhetorical gem
of historic interest is very much older
than the setting in which 1t has from
time 20 time appeared. 1t has been at
tributed to Pitt; and 1t no doubt received
from him splendid send-off on its intro
duction to the nineteenth century. In al
fusion to British possessions and resources
the prime minister used the then little
known expression, THE King of Eng
land, on whose dominions the sun never
sets" That 1t made great impression
may well be imagined. Nor vas this felt
the least strongly In America; for in adj
dressing the Senate some years afterward
the eloquent Daniel Webster reminded his
hearers that England was a power which
had dotted the surface of the entire
globe with her possessions and military
posts, whose morning drum beat. follow
ing the sun and keeping company with
the hours, encircled the earth daily with
one continuous and unbroken strain OF

s%f suggestive of the inspiration of O
former age And as matter OF fact,
England neither coined nor adapted it for
herself. The figure has fallen to us as
heritage OF empire.
This is best shown by the fact that the
phrase has been a sometime possession of
several nations. We unexpectedly en-
counter It in the works of the quaint
Thomas Fuller. who, in his sketch Of the
lfe of Sir Francis Drake, says that
Though poor private man. the Admiral
hereafter undertook TO ayenge himself
upon the mighty monarch, who, as not
centented that tke sun riseth and setteth
I'm his dominions, may seem TO desire TO
make all his own where he shineth."
There Is no doubt about the monarch
here referred to. nor OF the fervor with
which on so many occasions Drake

He could hardly accept the nomination
